1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
6 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
8 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
10 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
11 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
15 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
17 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
18 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
21 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
22 * More deprecations and renamings
23 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
24 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
25 when an object is constructed)
28 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
29 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
30 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
32 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
33 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
34 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
35 feature, and it works again.
37 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
39 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
40 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
41 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
43 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
44 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
45 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
46 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
47 message. Test provided by perigrin.
49 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
50 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
51 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
52 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
53 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
56 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
57 metaclass object. (hdp)
59 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
60 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
61 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
62 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
63 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
64 point out this fact. (hdp)
66 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
67 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
70 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
71 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
72 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
73 called during instance construction were passed the
74 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
75 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
77 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
78 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
81 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
82 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
83 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
86 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
87 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
88 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
89 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
90 them, but they are not for "public" use.
93 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
95 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
96 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
97 when an object is constructed)
98 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
100 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
101 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
102 when an object is constructed)
103 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
104 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
105 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
108 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
110 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
111 * No changes from 0.72_01.
113 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
115 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
116 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
117 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
119 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
120 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
121 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
123 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
125 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
126 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
128 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
129 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
132 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
133 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
136 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
137 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
138 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
141 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
145 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
146 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
147 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
150 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
153 * Moose::Manual::Delta
154 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
155 with recommended workarounds.
157 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
158 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
161 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
162 (yes, spelled like that).
164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
165 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
168 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
169 changes in latest Class::MOP.
171 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
173 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
174 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
175 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
176 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
177 instead. Reported by doy.
179 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
181 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
182 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
184 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
185 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
186 message) is now deprecated.
187 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
188 often got it wrong. For example:
190 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
192 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
196 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
197 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
198 bite you in weird cases.
200 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
201 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
202 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
205 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
206 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
210 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
213 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
214 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
217 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
218 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
220 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
221 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
224 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
226 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
227 - added tests for this (stevan)
229 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
230 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
231 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
232 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
236 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
237 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
238 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
239 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
241 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
242 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
243 - added tests for this (rafl)
245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
246 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
247 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
248 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
252 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
253 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
256 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
257 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
258 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
260 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
262 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
263 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
266 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
267 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
268 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
269 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
271 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
272 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
273 error message did not specify the attribute name
276 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
278 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
280 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
281 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
282 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
284 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
285 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
288 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
290 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
291 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
292 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
293 of fixes and formatting improvements.
295 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
297 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
298 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
299 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
300 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
302 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
303 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
304 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
307 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
308 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
309 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
310 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
312 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
313 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
314 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
315 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
316 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
318 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
319 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
320 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
321 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
322 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
323 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
325 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
326 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
327 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
328 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
329 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
330 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
332 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
333 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
335 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
336 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
337 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
338 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
341 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
344 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
348 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
349 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
351 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
352 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
353 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
356 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
358 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
361 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
362 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
363 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
366 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
369 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
370 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
372 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
374 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
377 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
378 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
379 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
380 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
381 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
382 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
384 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
385 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
386 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
387 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
388 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
389 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
390 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
391 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
392 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
393 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
395 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
397 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
398 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
401 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
402 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
403 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
405 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
406 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
407 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
408 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
409 same methods for a single role did not work
410 right (worked just fine with multiple
412 - added test for this (stevan)
414 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
415 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
416 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
419 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
420 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
421 - added test for this (t0m)
424 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
425 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
426 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
428 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
429 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
430 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
431 - added test for this (t0m)
433 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
434 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
435 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
436 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
437 - added test for this (perigrin)
440 - create method for constructing a role
442 - added test for this (Sartak)
443 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
444 - added test for this (Sartak)
447 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
449 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
450 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
451 methods is useful (Sartak)
453 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
454 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
455 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
459 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
460 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
461 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
462 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
463 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
464 - added tests for this (jdv79)
467 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
468 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
470 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
471 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
472 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
473 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
474 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
476 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
478 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
479 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
480 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
483 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
484 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
485 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
486 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
487 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
488 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
492 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
493 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
494 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
495 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
496 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
497 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
498 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
499 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
500 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
501 future. (jnapiorkowski)
503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
504 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
507 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
508 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
509 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
510 type. (jnapiorkowski)
511 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
513 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
515 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
516 predicate, and link to more details sections in
517 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
520 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
522 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
523 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
524 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
525 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
528 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
529 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
531 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
533 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
534 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
537 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
538 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
541 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
542 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
543 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
544 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
547 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
549 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
550 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
551 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
552 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
553 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
554 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
555 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
556 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
558 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
559 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
560 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
562 * Roles and role application
563 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
564 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
565 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
566 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
567 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
569 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
570 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
573 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
574 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
575 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
576 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
577 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
580 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
581 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
582 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
583 changes in the Moose internals.
585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
586 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
587 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
590 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
591 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
592 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
593 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
596 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
597 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
598 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
600 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
601 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
602 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
603 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
604 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
605 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
606 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
607 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
608 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
609 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
610 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
611 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
612 constraint implementations.
614 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
618 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
619 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
620 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
621 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
622 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
623 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
624 - added tests for this (rafl)
627 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
628 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
629 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
630 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
631 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
632 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
633 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
634 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
637 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
638 - added tests for this (thepler)
640 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
641 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
642 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
643 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
648 * Moose::Meta::Method
651 * Moose::Error::Default
652 * Moose::Error::Croak
653 * Moose::Error::Confess
654 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
655 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
656 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
657 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
658 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
659 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
661 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
663 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
664 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
667 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
668 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
669 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
671 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
672 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
673 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
674 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
675 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
678 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
679 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)

682 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
683 several major changes in this release of Moose.
684 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
687 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
689 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
690 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.

731 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
732 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
733 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
734 coincidental exception. (t0m).
735 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
737 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
738 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

764 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
766 - added test for this (t0m)

770 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
771 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
774 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5

777 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
779 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
782 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

857 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
858 ... this is not my day today ...
860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
861 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
862 clone_and_inherit options still works for
863 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
864 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
867 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
868 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before

877 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

909 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
910 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
911 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
912 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
913 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
914 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
915 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
916 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
917 - added tests for this
919 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

1392 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
1394 * Moose::Meta::Class
1395 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
1396 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1397 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
1398 method in the first place ;)
1400 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
1401 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
1402 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
1404 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
1405 - (see the POD for details)
1407 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
1408 - this release contains a major reworking and
1409 cleanup of the role system
1410 - 100% backwards compat.
1411 - Role application now restructured into seperate
1412 classes based on type of applicants
1413 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
1414 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
1415 used in this process
1416 - new Composite role metaclass
1417 - runtime application of roles to instances
1418 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
1419 classes when applicable
1421 * <<New Role composition features>>
1422 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
1424 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
1425 still retain the original as well)

1428 - added this module (see above)
1430 * Moose::Meta::Class
1431 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
1432 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct

1440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1441 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1442 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1443 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1444 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1447 - type constraint handling
1448 - error handling/messages
1449 (thanks to nothingmuch)
1451 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1452 - added this module to support the refactor
1453 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
1456 - refactored how these types are handled so they
1457 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
1461 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
1463 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1464 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
1465 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
1467 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

1487 - added tests for this
1489 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1490 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need

1499 a single type at different times instead of
1500 having to do it all in one place
1501 - added tests for this
1503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1504 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
1505 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
1508 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1509 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1510 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
1511 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

1515 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
1516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1517 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

1519 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
1520 - added tests for this.
1521 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
1522 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
1523 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
1524 - added tests for this
1525 - added docs for this
1527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1528 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
1529 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
1530 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
1531 instead it will just return undef.

1546 with work correctly.
1547 - added tests for this
1550 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1551 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
1554 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
1555 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
1556 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
1558 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

1590 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1593 - fixed how required methods are handled
1594 when they encounter overriden or modified
1595 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1596 - added tests for this
1598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1599 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1600 the | always creates a union and so is
1601 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1602 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1604 - added more tests for this
1606 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1609 * Parameterized Types
1610 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1611 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1612 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1613 They can also be nested:
1614 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1615 And work with the type unions as well:
1616 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1618 * Better Framework Extendability
1619 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1620 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1621 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1622 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1625 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1626 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1627 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1628 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1631 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1633 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
1634 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
1637 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

1693 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
1694 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1696 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
1697 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
1698 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
1699 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

1766 (but not changing the handles option)
1767 - added tests and docs for this
1770 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
1771 so that required methods can come from superclasses

1787 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
1788 prototypes for functions
1789 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
1790 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

1800 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
1803 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
1804 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
1805 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
1806 - added tests for this
1808 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
1810 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

1836 so this release is just to fix that.
1839 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
1840 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
1841 (thanks to konobi for this)

1853 functions to facilitate introspection.
1855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1856 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
1857 to build the list of delegated methods
1858 correctly (and not override important
1859 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
1861 - added tests and docs for this
1862 - added the 'documentation' attributes
1863 so that you can actually document your
1864 attributes and inspect them through the
1866 - added tests and docs for this
1868 * Moose::Meta::Class
1869 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1870 it will first look in for the class in the
1871 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1872 then default to just loading $name.
1873 - added tests and docs for this
1875 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1876 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1877 - added test for this
1880 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
1881 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
1882 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
1883 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
1885 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
1886 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
1889 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
1891 - added tests to show types and subtypes
1892 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
1893 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
1896 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
1897 !! for this developer release to work !!
1899 This release was primarily adding the immutable
1900 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
1901 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
1902 as immutable it will perform various bits of
1903 memoization and inline certain part of the code
1904 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
1905 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
1906 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
1907 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
1908 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
1909 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
1911 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
1912 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
1913 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
1914 truely interested in what was changed, please do
1917 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1918 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1919 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
1920 are have a type constraint and lazy.
1921 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
1923 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
1925 There are some speed improvements in this release,
1926 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
1929 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
1930 called unless they actually need to be.
1931 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
1932 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
1933 DEMOLISH method present.
1935 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1936 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1937 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
1938 type constraint, which allows for a
1939 hand optimized version of the type
1940 constraint to be used when possible.
1941 - Any internally created type constraints
1942 now provide an optimized version as well.
1944 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
1946 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
1947 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
1948 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
1950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1951 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
1952 your class namespace of these exported
1955 * Moose::Meta::Class
1956 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
1957 comes up during global destruction
1959 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
1963 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
1966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1967 - changed how we do type checks so that
1968 we reduce the overall cost, but still
1971 - moved accessor generation methods to
1972 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
1973 conform to the API changes from
1976 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1977 - changed how constraints are compiled
1978 so that we do less recursion and more
1979 iteration. This makes the type check
1981 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1984 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1985 - created this from methods formerly found in
1986 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1988 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
1989 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
1991 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1992 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
1994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1995 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1997 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
1999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2000 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2001 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2002 - added tests for this
2003 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2004 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2005 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2006 - removed tests for this
2008 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2010 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2011 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2012 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2015 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2016 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2017 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2019 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2020 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2021 comments for more info.
2024 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2025 asked questions and common problems
2027 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2028 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2029 - added tests for this
2031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2032 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2033 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2034 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2036 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2037 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2040 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2041 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2042 is much appreciated :)
2043 - added tests for this
2045 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2046 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2047 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2050 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2051 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2053 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2055 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2056 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2060 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2061 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2062 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2064 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2066 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2069 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2070 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2071 keywords because we need to localize them.
2072 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2074 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2075 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2076 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2079 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2082 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2083 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2084 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2087 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2088 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2089 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2091 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2093 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2094 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2095 bottom of your class file.
2098 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2101 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2103 - improved error message when loading modules so
2104 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2105 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2106 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2109 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2110 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2111 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2114 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2116 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2117 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2118 turn them on for you.
2119 - added tests for this
2120 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2121 in Moose::Meta::Class
2124 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2125 automatically turned on for you.
2126 - added tests for this
2129 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2130 - added tests for this
2131 - added some more edge case tests
2133 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006

2147 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2148 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2149 - This release works in combination with
2150 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2151 release because it uses the a new
2152 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2153 complete Role implementation. It has
2154 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2155 the the previous CPAN version. This
2156 release also lacks good updated docs,
2157 the official release will have updated docs.
2160 - refactored the keyword exports
2161 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2162 accepts more than one Role at a time
2163 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2164 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2167 - refactored the keyword exports
2168 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2169 accepts more than one Role at a time
2171 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2172 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2173 string enumerations which can be used as
2175 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2178 - more careful checking of params to new()
2181 - much work done on the role composition
2182 - many new tests for conflict detection
2183 and composition edge cases
2184 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2185 looking at the tests
2187 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2188 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2189 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2191 * Moose::Meta::Class
2192 - some small changes to support the new
2194 - some small additions to support Roles
2196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2197 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2199 - some small changes to support the new
2201 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2202 with the 'handles' option
2203 - added several tests for this
2204 - no docs for this yet

2208 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2209 thanks to chansen for this commit
2210 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2211 to support custom attribute meta-classes

2215 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2216 experimental feature and probably not finished
