1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
7 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came
8 up three times today (perigrin)
9 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
10 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
11 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
12 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods to
13 prevent unnecessary introspection in Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
15 - Required methods of roles are now represented by
16 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
17 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting objects.
18 There's benefit for end-users in that unresolved conflicts
19 generate different, more instructive, errors, resolving Ovid's
22 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP (nothingmuch)
24 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
26 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
29 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
30 during global destruction. This method has been made more
31 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
35 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
36 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
39 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
40 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
42 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
43 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
44 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
47 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
49 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
50 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
53 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
57 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
58 methods during global destruction (doy)
61 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
62 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
66 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
67 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
70 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
71 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
74 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
75 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
79 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
83 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
84 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
85 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
88 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
89 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
90 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
93 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
94 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
97 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
98 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
99 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
102 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
103 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
104 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
105 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
107 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
108 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
109 of the Moose core (Sartak)
112 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
115 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
116 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
117 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
121 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
122 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
125 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
127 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
130 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
131 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
134 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
135 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
138 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
139 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
142 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
145 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
148 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
152 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
155 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
158 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
159 * More deprecations and renamings
160 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
161 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
162 when an object is constructed)
165 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
166 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
167 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
170 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
171 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
172 feature, and it works again.
175 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
177 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
179 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
180 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
181 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
183 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
184 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
185 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
186 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
187 message. Test provided by perigrin.
189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
190 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
191 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
192 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
193 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
196 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
197 metaclass object. (hdp)
199 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
200 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
201 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
202 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
203 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
204 point out this fact. (hdp)
206 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
207 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
209 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
210 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
214 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
215 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
216 called during instance construction were passed the
217 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
218 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
220 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
221 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
224 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
225 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
226 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
229 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
230 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
231 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
232 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
233 them, but they are not for "public" use.
236 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
238 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
239 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
240 when an object is constructed)
241 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
243 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
244 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
245 when an object is constructed)
246 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
247 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
248 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
251 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
253 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
254 * No changes from 0.72_01.
256 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
258 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
259 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
260 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
263 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
264 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
266 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
268 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
269 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
271 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
272 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
275 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
276 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
279 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
280 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
281 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
284 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
288 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
289 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
290 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
292 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
293 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
296 * Moose::Manual::Delta
297 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
298 with recommended workarounds.
300 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
301 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
304 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
305 (yes, spelled like that).
307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
308 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
311 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
312 changes in latest Class::MOP.
314 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
317 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
318 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
319 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
320 instead. Reported by doy.
322 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
324 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
325 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
327 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
328 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
329 message) is now deprecated.
330 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
331 often got it wrong. For example:
333 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
335 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
339 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
340 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
341 bite you in weird cases.
343 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
344 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
345 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
348 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
349 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
353 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
356 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
357 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
360 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
361 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
364 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
367 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
369 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
370 - added tests for this (stevan)
372 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
373 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
374 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
375 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
379 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
380 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
381 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
382 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
384 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
385 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
386 - added tests for this (rafl)
388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
389 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
390 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
391 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
395 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
396 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
399 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
400 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
401 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
403 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
405 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
406 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
409 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
410 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
411 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
412 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
415 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
416 error message did not specify the attribute name
419 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
421 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
423 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
424 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
425 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
428 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
431 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
433 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
434 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
435 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
436 of fixes and formatting improvements.
438 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
440 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
441 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
442 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
443 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
446 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
447 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
449 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
450 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
451 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
452 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
453 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
456 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
457 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
458 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
459 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
462 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
463 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
464 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
465 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
466 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
468 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
469 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
470 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
471 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
472 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
473 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
475 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
476 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
478 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
479 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
480 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
481 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
484 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
487 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
491 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
492 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
494 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
495 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
496 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
499 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
500 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
501 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
503 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
504 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
505 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
506 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
509 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
512 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
513 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
515 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
517 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
520 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
521 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
522 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
523 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
524 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
525 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
528 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
529 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
530 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
531 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
532 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
533 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
534 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
535 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
536 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
538 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
540 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
541 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
544 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
545 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
546 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
548 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
549 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
550 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
551 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
552 same methods for a single role did not work
553 right (worked just fine with multiple
555 - added test for this (stevan)
557 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
558 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
559 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
562 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
563 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
564 - added test for this (t0m)
567 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
568 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
569 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
571 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
572 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
573 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
574 - added test for this (t0m)
576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
577 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
578 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
579 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
580 - added test for this (perigrin)
583 - create method for constructing a role
585 - added test for this (Sartak)
586 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
587 - added test for this (Sartak)
590 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
592 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
593 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
594 methods is useful (Sartak)
596 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
598 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
602 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
603 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
604 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
605 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
606 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
607 - added tests for this (jdv79)
610 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
611 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
613 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
614 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
615 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
616 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
617 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
619 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
621 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
622 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
623 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
626 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
627 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
628 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
629 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
630 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
631 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
635 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
636 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
637 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
638 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
639 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
640 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
641 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
642 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
643 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
644 future. (jnapiorkowski)
646 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
647 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
650 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
651 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
652 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
653 type. (jnapiorkowski)
654 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
656 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
658 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
659 predicate, and link to more details sections in
660 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
662 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
663 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
665 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
666 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
667 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
668 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
671 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
672 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
674 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
676 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
677 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
680 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
681 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
684 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
686 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
687 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
689 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
690 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
692 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
693 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
694 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
695 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
696 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
697 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
698 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
699 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
701 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
702 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
703 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
705 * Roles and role application
706 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
707 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
708 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
709 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
710 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
712 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
713 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
716 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
717 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
718 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
719 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
720 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
723 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
724 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
725 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
726 changes in the Moose internals.
728 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
729 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
730 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
733 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
734 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
735 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
736 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
738 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
739 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
740 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
741 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
743 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
744 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
745 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
746 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
747 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
748 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
749 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
750 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
751 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
752 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
753 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
754 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
755 constraint implementations.
757 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
761 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
762 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
763 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
764 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
765 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
766 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
767 - added tests for this (rafl)
770 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
771 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
772 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
773 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
774 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
775 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
776 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
777 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
780 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
781 - added tests for this (thepler)
783 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
784 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
785 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
786 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
790 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
791 * Moose::Meta::Method
794 * Moose::Error::Default
795 * Moose::Error::Croak
796 * Moose::Error::Confess
797 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
798 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
799 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
800 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
801 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
802 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
804 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
806 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
807 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
810 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
811 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
812 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
815 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
816 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
817 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
818 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
821 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
822 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
824 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
825 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
826 several major changes in this release of Moose.
827 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
830 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
832 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
833 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
835 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
840 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed

845 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
846 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
847 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
848 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
849 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
850 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
852 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
853 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
854 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
856 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

861 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
862 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
863 dependency to 0.64_07.
865 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
866 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
867 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
870 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
873 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
874 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
875 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
876 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
877 coincidental exception. (t0m).
878 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
880 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
881 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
883 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
885 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
886 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
890 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
891 method when that method was provided by another role being
892 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
893 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
895 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
897 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
898 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
900 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

902 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
903 - added test for this (t0m)
905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
906 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
907 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
909 - added test for this (t0m)
912 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
913 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
914 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
917 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
918 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
920 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
922 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
925 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
926 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
927 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
929 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
930 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
933 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
934 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
935 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
936 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
940 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
941 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
942 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
945 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
946 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
947 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
948 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
951 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
955 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
956 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
957 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

978 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
979 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

998 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1000 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1001 ... this is not my day today ...
1003 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1004 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1005 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1006 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1007 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1010 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1011 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1012 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1013 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1014 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1017 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1019 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1020 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1021 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1022 this is not ever something you want to do
1023 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1024 - added tests for this (stevan)
1027 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1029 - added test for this

1047 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1049 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1052 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1053 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1054 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1055 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1056 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1057 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1058 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1059 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1060 - added tests for this
1062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1063 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1064 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1065 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1067 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1136 which was causing the indexer to choke
1138 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1139 (late night release engineering)--
1141 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1142 changes in this release
1144 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

1155 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1158 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

1160 method for immutablization to check if the
1161 destructor object even needs to be created
1164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1165 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1166 - added more descriptive error message to help
1167 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1168 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1170 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1172 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1173 XS based functionality is now optional
1174 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1175 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1176 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1178 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1179 to take care of this, mostly we added
1180 support for the package_name and name
1181 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1182 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1183 support regexp matching of names
1184 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1186 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1187 is currently not supported in roles,
1188 but, ... patches welcome

1195 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1196 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1197 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1198 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1199 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1200 - added test for this
1202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1203 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an

1224 called by the inlined immutable
1226 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1229 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1230 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1231 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1233 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1234 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1238 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

1246 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1249 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1250 ->body when looping through the
1251 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1253 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1254 eating the $@ values, and so not
1255 working correctly, it still kind of
1256 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1257 - added tests for this
1259 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1260 - added new recipe for immutable
1261 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1272 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1274 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1275 since Module::Install has done that.
1277 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1279 drink more coffee before
1280 doing release engineering
1282 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1283 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1284 modules. This fixes that.

1298 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1300 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1301 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1302 use it in any new code and please fix your old code

1397 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1399 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1443 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1444 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1445 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1447 - added more delegation tests
1448 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1449 support traits and their introspection.

1690 - added tests for this
1693 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1694 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1736 - fixed how required methods are handled
1737 when they encounter overriden or modified
1738 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1739 - added tests for this
1741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1743 the | always creates a union and so is
1744 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1745 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1747 - added more tests for this
1749 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1752 * Parameterized Types
1753 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1754 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1755 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1756 They can also be nested:
1757 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1758 And work with the type unions as well:
1759 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1761 * Better Framework Extendability
1762 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1763 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1764 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1765 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1768 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1769 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1770 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1771 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1774 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1776 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2006 so that you can actually document your
2007 attributes and inspect them through the

2011 * Moose::Meta::Class
2012 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2013 it will first look in for the class in the
2014 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2015 then default to just loading $name.
2016 - added tests and docs for this
2018 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2019 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2020 - added test for this

2028 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2029 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2032 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2034 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2035 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2036 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2039 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2040 !! for this developer release to work !!
2042 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2043 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2044 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2045 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2046 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2047 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2048 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2049 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2050 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2051 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2052 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2054 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2055 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2056 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2057 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2060 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2061 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2062 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2063 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2064 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2066 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2068 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2069 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2072 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2073 called unless they actually need to be.
2074 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2075 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2076 DEMOLISH method present.
2078 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2079 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2080 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2081 type constraint, which allows for a
2082 hand optimized version of the type
2083 constraint to be used when possible.
2084 - Any internally created type constraints
2085 now provide an optimized version as well.
2087 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2089 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2090 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2091 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2093 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2094 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2095 your class namespace of these exported
2098 * Moose::Meta::Class
2099 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2100 comes up during global destruction
2102 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2106 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2110 - changed how we do type checks so that
2111 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2114 - moved accessor generation methods to
2115 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2116 conform to the API changes from
2119 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2120 - changed how constraints are compiled
2121 so that we do less recursion and more
2122 iteration. This makes the type check
2124 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2128 - created this from methods formerly found in
2129 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2131 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2132 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2135 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2138 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2140 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2143 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2144 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2145 - added tests for this
2146 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2147 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2148 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2149 - removed tests for this
2151 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2153 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2154 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2155 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2158 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2159 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2160 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2162 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2163 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2164 comments for more info.
2167 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2168 asked questions and common problems
2170 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2171 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2172 - added tests for this
2174 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2175 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2176 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2177 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2179 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2180 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2183 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2184 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2185 is much appreciated :)
2186 - added tests for this
2188 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2189 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2190 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2194 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2196 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2198 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2199 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2203 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2204 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2205 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2207 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2209 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2212 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2213 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2214 keywords because we need to localize them.
2215 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2217 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2218 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2219 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2222 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2226 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2227 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2230 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2231 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2232 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2234 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2236 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2237 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2238 bottom of your class file.
2241 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2244 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2246 - improved error message when loading modules so
2247 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2248 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2249 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2252 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2253 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2254 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2256 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2257 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2259 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2260 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2261 turn them on for you.
2262 - added tests for this
2263 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2264 in Moose::Meta::Class
2267 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2268 automatically turned on for you.

2290 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2291 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2292 - This release works in combination with
2293 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2294 release because it uses the a new
2295 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2296 complete Role implementation. It has
2297 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2298 the the previous CPAN version. This
2299 release also lacks good updated docs,
2300 the official release will have updated docs.
2303 - refactored the keyword exports
2304 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2305 accepts more than one Role at a time
2306 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2307 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2310 - refactored the keyword exports
2311 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2312 accepts more than one Role at a time
2314 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2315 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2316 string enumerations which can be used as
2318 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2321 - more careful checking of params to new()
2324 - much work done on the role composition
2325 - many new tests for conflict detection
2326 and composition edge cases
2327 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2328 looking at the tests
2330 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2331 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2332 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2334 * Moose::Meta::Class
2335 - some small changes to support the new
2337 - some small additions to support Roles
2339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2340 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2342 - some small changes to support the new
2344 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2345 with the 'handles' option
2346 - added several tests for this
2347 - no docs for this yet
2349 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2351 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2352 thanks to chansen for this commit
2353 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2354 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2355 on a per-attribute basis
2356 - added tests for this
2357 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2358 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2359 experimental feature and probably not finished

2424 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2426 - added test for this
2429 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
