1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
9 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
16 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
17 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
20 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
24 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
25 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
27 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
28 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
32 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
33 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
34 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
35 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
36 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
37 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
39 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
40 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
42 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
43 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
44 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
47 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
48 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
50 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
55 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
56 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
58 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
62 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
63 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
64 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
66 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
70 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
71 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
72 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
74 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
75 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
78 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
79 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
82 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
83 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
84 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
86 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
87 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
92 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
93 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
94 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
97 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
98 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
100 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
101 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
103 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
104 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
105 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
106 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
108 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
109 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
110 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
113 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
114 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
115 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
116 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
118 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
119 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
122 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
123 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
124 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
126 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
130 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
131 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
132 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
134 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
135 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
136 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
139 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
140 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
141 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
143 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
144 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
145 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
147 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
148 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
152 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
153 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
154 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
156 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
157 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
158 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
159 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
161 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
165 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
166 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
167 value is a reference.
169 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
170 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
172 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
176 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
177 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
178 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
180 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
184 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
185 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
189 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
190 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
191 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
193 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
194 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
195 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
197 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
201 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
203 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
207 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
209 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
210 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
215 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
216 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
218 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
219 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
220 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
221 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
222 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
224 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
225 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
226 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
227 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
229 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
233 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
234 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
239 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
241 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
243 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
248 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
250 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
254 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
255 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
256 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
258 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
259 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
260 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
261 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
263 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
264 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
265 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
266 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
267 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
270 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
275 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
276 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
277 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
278 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
279 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
282 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
286 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
289 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
290 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
294 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
295 function (not just method). (doy)
299 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
300 and aren't easily installable/testable.
302 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
306 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
307 to be overridden more easily (doy).
309 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
313 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
314 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
316 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
320 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
321 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
322 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
324 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
328 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
329 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
330 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
332 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
333 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
337 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
338 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
340 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
341 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
345 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
346 is applied to a class (t0m).
348 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
349 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
351 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
354 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
355 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
357 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
358 be much more robust. (doy)
360 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
362 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
365 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
369 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
370 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
372 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
376 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
377 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
379 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
382 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
383 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
384 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
386 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
387 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
388 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
391 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
393 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
397 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
398 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
402 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
404 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
409 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
413 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
414 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
418 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
420 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
424 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
425 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
429 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
430 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
434 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
435 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
437 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
441 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
442 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
443 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
446 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
450 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
451 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
452 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
453 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
455 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
459 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
460 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
461 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
465 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
468 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
473 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
474 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
478 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
479 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
481 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
482 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
483 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
484 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
486 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
490 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
494 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
495 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
497 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
498 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
499 - Moose::Util::does_role
500 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
501 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
502 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
504 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
508 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
509 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
510 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
513 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
517 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
518 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
521 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
525 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
526 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
529 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
533 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
535 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
536 class. (Dave Rolsky).
538 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
539 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
540 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
542 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
543 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
544 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
547 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
548 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
550 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
551 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
552 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
554 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
556 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
557 substr et al, again. (sorear)
559 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
561 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
564 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
565 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
567 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
568 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
570 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
571 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
572 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
573 dependencies installed.
575 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
576 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
579 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
581 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
585 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
587 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
588 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
589 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
592 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
593 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
595 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
596 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
599 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
600 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
601 others. (nothingmuch)
603 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
604 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
605 remove_accessors. (doy)
607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
608 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
609 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
612 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
614 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
615 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
616 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
617 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
620 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
621 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
624 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
626 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
628 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
629 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
633 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
634 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
635 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
636 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
638 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
641 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
642 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
643 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
644 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
647 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
648 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
649 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
650 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
651 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
653 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
654 which were not receiving the value of
655 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
656 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
657 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
658 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
662 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
663 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
664 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
665 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
666 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
669 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
670 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
671 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
672 - added tests for this (Stevan)
675 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
676 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
677 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
680 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
681 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
682 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
684 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
685 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
686 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
689 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
690 class if you pass it options for
691 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
692 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
693 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
694 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
695 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
696 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
697 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
698 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
699 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
701 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
702 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
703 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
704 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
705 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
708 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
710 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
711 existing delegation API. (hdp)
713 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
714 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
715 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
716 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
717 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
718 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
721 * Moose::Error::Croak
722 * Moose::Error::Confess
723 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
724 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
727 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
730 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
731 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
732 installing a broken sub. (doy)
735 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
738 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
739 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
740 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
742 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
743 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
744 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
745 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
746 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
748 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
749 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
752 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
754 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
755 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
758 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
759 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
761 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
763 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
764 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
766 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
767 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
768 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
769 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
770 using it for new code!
772 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
773 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
774 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
775 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
777 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
778 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
779 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
780 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
781 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
782 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
783 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
784 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
787 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
790 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
791 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
794 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
795 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
797 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
798 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
799 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
802 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
803 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
804 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
807 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
808 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
810 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
811 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
812 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
815 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
817 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
818 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
819 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
820 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
822 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
824 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
827 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
828 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
829 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
831 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
832 associated_methods. (hdp)
833 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
834 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
835 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
836 misspelled) arguments
838 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
839 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
840 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
841 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
843 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
844 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
845 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
847 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
850 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
851 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
852 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
855 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
856 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
858 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
860 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
861 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
863 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
864 * Moose::Manual::Types
865 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
866 string parsing rathole (mst)
868 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
869 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
870 using plain objects instead
872 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
873 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
876 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
878 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
879 three times today (perigrin)
880 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
881 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
883 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
884 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
885 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
886 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
889 - A role's required methods are now represented by
890 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
891 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
892 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
893 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
894 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
897 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
898 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
899 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
900 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
903 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
905 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
908 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
910 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
913 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
914 during global destruction. This method has been made more
915 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
919 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
920 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
923 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
924 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
926 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
927 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
928 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
931 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
933 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
934 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
937 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
941 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
942 methods during global destruction (doy)
945 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
946 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
950 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
951 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
954 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
955 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
958 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
959 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
961 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
963 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
967 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
968 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
969 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
972 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
973 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
974 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
977 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
979 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
980 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
981 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
984 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
985 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
986 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
987 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
989 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
990 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
991 of the Moose core (Sartak)
994 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
997 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
998 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
999 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1003 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1004 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1006 * Moose::Meta::Class
1007 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1009 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1011 * Moose::Meta::Class
1012 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1013 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1016 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1017 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1020 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1021 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1024 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1027 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1029 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1030 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1033 * Moose::Meta::Class
1034 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1036 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1037 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1040 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1041 * More deprecations and renamings
1042 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1043 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1044 when an object is constructed)
1047 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1048 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1049 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1051 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1052 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1053 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1054 feature, and it works again.
1057 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1059 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1061 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1062 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1063 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1065 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1066 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1067 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1068 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1069 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1071 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1072 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1073 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1074 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1075 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1078 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1079 metaclass object. (hdp)
1081 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1082 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1084 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1085 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1086 point out this fact. (hdp)
1088 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1089 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1091 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1092 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1094 * Moose::Meta::Class
1095 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1096 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1097 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1098 called during instance construction were passed the
1099 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1100 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1102 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1103 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1106 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1107 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1108 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1111 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1112 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1113 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1114 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1115 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1117 - Moose::Meta::Class
1118 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1120 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1121 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1122 when an object is constructed)
1123 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1125 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1126 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1127 when an object is constructed)
1128 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1129 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1130 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1133 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1135 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1136 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1138 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1140 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1141 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1142 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1145 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1146 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1148 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1150 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1151 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1153 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1154 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1157 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1158 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1161 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1162 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1163 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1166 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1170 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1171 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1172 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1175 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1178 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1179 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1180 with recommended workarounds.
1182 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1183 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1185 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1186 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1187 (yes, spelled like that).
1189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1190 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1192 * Moose::Meta::Class
1193 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1194 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1196 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1199 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1200 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1201 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1202 instead. Reported by doy.
1204 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1206 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1207 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1209 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1210 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1211 message) is now deprecated.
1212 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1213 often got it wrong. For example:
1215 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1217 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1221 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1222 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1223 bite you in weird cases.
1225 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1226 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1227 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1228 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1230 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1231 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1235 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1238 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1239 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1242 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1243 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1246 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1249 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1251 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1252 - added tests for this (stevan)
1254 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1255 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1256 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1257 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1261 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1262 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1263 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1264 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1266 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1267 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1268 - added tests for this (rafl)
1270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1271 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1272 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1273 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1277 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1278 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1281 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1282 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1283 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1285 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1287 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1288 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1291 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1292 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1293 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1294 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1297 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1298 error message did not specify the attribute name
1301 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1303 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1305 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1306 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1307 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1310 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1313 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1315 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1316 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1317 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1318 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1320 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1322 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1323 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1324 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1325 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1328 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1329 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1331 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1332 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1333 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1334 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1335 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1338 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1339 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1340 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1341 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1344 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1345 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1346 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1347 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1348 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1350 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1351 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1352 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1353 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1354 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1355 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1357 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1358 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1360 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1361 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1362 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1363 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1365 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1366 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1369 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1373 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1374 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1376 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1377 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1378 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1379 guts. (nothingmuch).
1381 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1383 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1386 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1387 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1388 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1390 * Moose::Meta::Class
1391 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1394 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1395 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1397 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1398 * Moose::Unsweetened
1399 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1402 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1403 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1404 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1405 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1406 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1407 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1409 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1410 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1411 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1412 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1413 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1414 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1415 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1416 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1417 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1418 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1420 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1422 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1423 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1425 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1426 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1427 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1428 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1430 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1431 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1432 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1433 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1434 same methods for a single role did not work
1435 right (worked just fine with multiple
1437 - added test for this (stevan)
1439 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1440 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1441 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1444 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1445 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1446 - added test for this (t0m)
1449 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1450 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1451 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1454 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1455 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1456 - added test for this (t0m)
1458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1459 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1460 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1461 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1462 - added test for this (perigrin)
1465 - create method for constructing a role
1466 dynamically (Sartak)
1467 - added test for this (Sartak)
1468 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1469 - added test for this (Sartak)
1472 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1474 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1475 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1476 methods is useful (Sartak)
1478 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1480 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1483 * Moose::Meta::Class
1484 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1485 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1486 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1487 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1488 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1489 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1492 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1493 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1495 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1496 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1497 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1498 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1499 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1501 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1503 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1504 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1505 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1508 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1509 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1510 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1511 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1512 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1513 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1517 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1518 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1519 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1520 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1521 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1522 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1523 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1524 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1525 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1526 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1528 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1529 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1532 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1533 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1534 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1535 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1536 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1538 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1540 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1541 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1542 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1544 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1545 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1547 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1548 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1549 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1550 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1553 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1554 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1556 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1558 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1559 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1561 * Moose::Meta::Class
1562 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1563 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1564 a required attribute
1566 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1567 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1568 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1569 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1571 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1572 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1575 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1576 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1577 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1578 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1579 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1580 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1581 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1583 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1584 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1585 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1587 * Roles and role application
1588 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1589 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1590 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1591 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1592 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1594 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1595 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1598 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1599 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1600 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1601 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1602 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1605 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1606 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1607 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1608 changes in the Moose internals.
1610 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1612 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1615 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1616 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1617 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1618 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1620 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1621 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1622 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1623 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1625 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1626 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1627 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1628 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1629 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1630 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1631 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1632 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1633 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1634 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1635 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1636 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1637 constraint implementations.
1639 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1643 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1644 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1645 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1646 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1647 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1648 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 - added tests for this (rafl)
1651 * Moose::Meta::Class
1652 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1653 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1654 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1655 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1656 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1657 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1658 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1659 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1662 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1663 - added tests for this (thepler)
1665 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1666 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1667 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1668 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1671 * Moose::Meta::Class
1672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1673 * Moose::Meta::Method
1676 * Moose::Error::Default
1677 * Moose::Error::Croak
1678 * Moose::Error::Confess
1679 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1680 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1681 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1682 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1683 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1684 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1686 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1688 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1689 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1691 * Moose::Unsweetened
1692 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1693 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1694 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1697 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1698 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1699 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1700 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1703 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1704 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1706 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1707 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1708 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1709 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1712 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1714 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1715 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1717 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1720 - Various bug fixes.
1722 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1723 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1725 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1727 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1728 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1730 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1731 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1732 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1734 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1735 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1736 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1738 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1739 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1740 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1743 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1744 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1745 dependency to 0.64_07.
1747 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1748 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1749 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1752 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1755 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1756 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1757 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1758 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1759 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1760 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1762 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1763 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1765 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1768 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1772 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1773 method when that method was provided by another role being
1774 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1777 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1779 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1780 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1782 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1783 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1784 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1785 - added test for this (t0m)
1787 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1788 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1789 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1791 - added test for this (t0m)
1794 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1795 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1796 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1799 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1800 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1802 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1804 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1805 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1807 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1808 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1809 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1812 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1815 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1816 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1817 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1818 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1822 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1823 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1824 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1828 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1829 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1830 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1833 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1837 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1838 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1839 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1841 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1843 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1844 created so that the process can be more easily
1845 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1847 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1848 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1849 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1850 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1852 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1853 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1856 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1857 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1859 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1860 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1861 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1863 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1864 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1865 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1867 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1868 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1870 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1871 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1874 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1875 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1879 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1880 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1882 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1883 ... this is not my day today ...
1885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1886 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1887 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1888 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1889 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1892 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1893 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1894 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1895 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1896 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1899 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1901 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1902 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1903 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1904 this is not ever something you want to do
1905 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1906 - added tests for this (stevan)
1909 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1911 - added test for this
1913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1914 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1915 - added tests for this (wreis)
1917 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1918 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1919 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1920 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1922 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1923 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1924 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1927 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1929 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1931 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1934 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1935 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1936 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1937 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1938 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1939 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1940 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1941 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 - added tests for this
1944 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1945 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1946 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1947 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1949 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1952 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1953 - added tests for this (sartak)
1954 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1955 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1958 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1960 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1961 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1963 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1964 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1965 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1966 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1968 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1970 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1971 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1974 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1975 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1976 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1979 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1980 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1982 - added docs for this (TODO).
1983 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1984 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1985 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1986 - fix builder and default both being used
1991 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1993 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1994 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1995 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1999 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2003 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2004 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2005 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2008 - move the ClassName type check code to
2009 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2011 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2012 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2014 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2015 (early morning release engineering)--
2017 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2018 which was causing the indexer to choke
2020 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2021 (late night release engineering)--
2023 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2024 changes in this release
2026 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2027 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2028 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2030 * Moose::Meta::Class
2031 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2032 since it is called so often by &meta
2034 * Moose::Meta::Class
2036 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2037 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2040 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2041 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2042 method for immutablization to check if the
2043 destructor object even needs to be created
2046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2047 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2048 - added more descriptive error message to help
2049 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2050 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2052 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2054 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2055 XS based functionality is now optional
2056 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2057 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2058 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2069 is currently not supported in roles,
2070 but, ... patches welcome

2077 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2078 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2132 ->body when looping through the
2133 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2135 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2136 eating the $@ values, and so not
2137 working correctly, it still kind of
2138 eats them, but so does vanilla perl

2161 drink more coffee before
2162 doing release engineering
2164 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2279 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2281 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2282 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2325 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2326 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2618 - fixed how required methods are handled
2619 when they encounter overriden or modified
2620 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2621 - added tests for this
2623 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2624 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2625 the | always creates a union and so is
2626 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2627 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2629 - added more tests for this
2631 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2634 * Parameterized Types
2635 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2636 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2637 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2638 They can also be nested:
2639 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2640 And work with the type unions as well:
2641 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2643 * Better Framework Extendability
2644 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2645 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2646 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2647 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2650 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2651 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2652 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2653 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2656 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2658 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2782 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2783 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2791 (but not changing the handles option)
2792 - added tests and docs for this
2795 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2796 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2811 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2812 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2813 prototypes for functions
2814 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2815 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2825 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2828 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2829 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2830 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2831 - added tests for this
2833 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2835 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2857 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2859 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007

2861 so this release is just to fix that.
2864 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2865 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2866 (thanks to konobi for this)

2878 functions to facilitate introspection.
2880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2884 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2886 - added tests and docs for this
2887 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2888 so that you can actually document your
2889 attributes and inspect them through the
2891 - added tests and docs for this
2893 * Moose::Meta::Class
2894 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2895 it will first look in for the class in the
2896 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2897 then default to just loading $name.
2898 - added tests and docs for this
2900 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2901 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2902 - added test for this
2905 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2906 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2907 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2908 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2910 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2911 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2914 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2916 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2917 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2918 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2921 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2922 !! for this developer release to work !!
2924 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2925 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2926 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2927 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2928 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2929 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2930 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2931 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2932 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2933 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2934 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2936 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2937 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2938 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2939 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2942 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2943 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2944 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2945 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2946 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2948 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2950 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2951 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2954 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2955 called unless they actually need to be.
2956 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2957 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2958 DEMOLISH method present.
2960 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2961 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2962 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2963 type constraint, which allows for a
2964 hand optimized version of the type
2965 constraint to be used when possible.
2966 - Any internally created type constraints
2967 now provide an optimized version as well.
2969 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2971 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2972 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2973 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2975 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2976 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2977 your class namespace of these exported
2980 * Moose::Meta::Class
2981 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2982 comes up during global destruction
2984 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2988 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2991 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2992 - changed how we do type checks so that
2993 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2996 - moved accessor generation methods to
2997 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2998 conform to the API changes from
3001 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3002 - changed how constraints are compiled
3003 so that we do less recursion and more
3004 iteration. This makes the type check
3006 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3009 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3010 - created this from methods formerly found in
3011 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3025 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3026 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3027 - added tests for this
3028 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3029 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3030 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3031 - removed tests for this
3033 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3035 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3036 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3037 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3040 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3041 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3042 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3044 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3045 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3046 comments for more info.
3049 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3050 asked questions and common problems
3052 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3053 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3054 - added tests for this
3056 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3057 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3058 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3059 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3061 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3062 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3065 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3066 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3067 is much appreciated :)
3068 - added tests for this
3070 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3071 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3072 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3075 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3076 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3078 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3080 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3081 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3085 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3086 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3087 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3089 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3091 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3094 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3095 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3096 keywords because we need to localize them.
3097 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3099 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3100 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3101 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3104 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3107 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3108 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3109 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3112 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3113 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3114 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3116 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3118 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3119 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3120 bottom of your class file.
3123 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3126 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3128 - improved error message when loading modules so
3129 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3130 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3131 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3134 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3135 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3136 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3139 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3141 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3142 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3143 turn them on for you.
3144 - added tests for this

3173 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3174 - This release works in combination with
3175 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3176 release because it uses the a new
3177 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3178 complete Role implementation. It has
3179 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3180 the the previous CPAN version. This
3181 release also lacks good updated docs,
3182 the official release will have updated docs.
3185 - refactored the keyword exports
3186 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3187 accepts more than one Role at a time

3193 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3194 accepts more than one Role at a time
3196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3198 string enumerations which can be used as
3200 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3203 - more careful checking of params to new()
3206 - much work done on the role composition
3207 - many new tests for conflict detection
3208 and composition edge cases
3209 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3210 looking at the tests
3212 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3213 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3214 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3224 - some small changes to support the new
3226 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3227 with the 'handles' option

3233 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3234 thanks to chansen for this commit
3235 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3236 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3237 on a per-attribute basis
3238 - added tests for this
3239 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3240 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3241 experimental feature and probably not finished

3243 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3244 - added tests for this
