1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
9 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
10 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
13 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
14 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
16 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
17 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
19 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
20 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
21 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
28 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
29 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
30 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
32 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
33 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
34 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
37 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
38 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
39 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
41 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
42 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
43 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
45 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
46 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
50 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
51 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
52 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
54 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
55 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
56 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
57 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
59 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
63 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
64 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
67 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
68 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
70 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
74 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
75 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
76 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
78 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
82 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
83 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
87 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
88 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
89 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
91 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
92 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
93 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
95 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
99 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
101 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
105 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
107 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
108 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
113 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
114 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
116 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
117 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
118 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
119 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
120 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
122 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
123 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
124 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
125 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
127 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
131 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
132 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
137 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
139 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
141 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
146 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
148 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
152 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
153 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
154 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
156 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
157 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
158 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
159 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
161 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
162 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
163 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
164 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
165 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
168 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
173 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
174 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
175 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
176 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
177 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
180 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
184 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
187 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
188 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
192 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
193 function (not just method). (doy)
197 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
198 and aren't easily installable/testable.
200 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
204 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
205 to be overridden more easily (doy).
207 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
211 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
212 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
214 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
218 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
219 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
220 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
222 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
226 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
227 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
228 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
230 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
231 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
235 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
236 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
238 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
239 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
243 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
244 is applied to a class (t0m).
246 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
247 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
249 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
252 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
253 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
255 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
256 be much more robust. (doy)
258 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
260 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
263 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
267 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
268 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
270 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
274 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
275 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
277 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
280 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
281 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
282 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
284 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
285 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
286 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
289 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
291 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
295 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
296 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
300 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
302 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
307 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
311 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
312 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
316 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
318 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
322 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
323 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
327 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
328 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
332 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
333 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
335 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
339 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
340 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
341 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
344 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
348 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
349 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
350 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
351 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
353 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
357 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
358 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
359 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
363 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
366 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
371 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
372 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
376 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
377 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
379 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
380 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
381 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
382 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
384 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
388 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
392 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
393 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
395 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
396 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
397 - Moose::Util::does_role
398 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
399 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
400 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
402 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
406 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
407 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
408 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
411 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
415 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
416 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
419 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
423 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
424 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
427 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
431 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
433 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
434 class. (Dave Rolsky).
436 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
437 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
438 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
440 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
441 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
442 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
445 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
446 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
448 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
449 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
450 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
452 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
454 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
455 substr et al, again. (sorear)
457 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
459 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
462 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
463 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
465 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
466 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
468 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
469 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
470 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
471 dependencies installed.
473 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
474 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
477 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
479 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
483 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
486 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
487 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
490 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
491 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
493 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
494 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
497 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
498 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
499 others. (nothingmuch)
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
502 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
503 remove_accessors. (doy)
505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
506 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
507 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
510 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
512 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
514 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
515 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
518 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
519 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
522 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
524 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
526 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
527 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
531 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
532 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
533 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
534 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
536 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
539 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
540 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
541 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
542 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
545 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
546 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
547 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
548 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
549 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
551 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
552 which were not receiving the value of
553 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
554 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
555 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
556 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
560 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
561 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
562 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
563 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
564 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
568 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
569 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
570 - added tests for this (Stevan)
573 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
574 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
575 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
578 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
580 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
582 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
583 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
584 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
587 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
588 class if you pass it options for
589 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
590 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
591 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
592 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
593 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
594 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
595 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
596 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
597 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
599 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
600 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
601 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
602 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
603 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
606 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
608 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
609 existing delegation API. (hdp)
611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
612 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
613 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
614 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
615 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
616 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
619 * Moose::Error::Croak
620 * Moose::Error::Confess
621 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
622 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
625 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
628 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
629 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
630 installing a broken sub. (doy)
633 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
636 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
637 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
638 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
640 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
641 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
642 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
643 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
644 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
646 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
647 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
650 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
652 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
653 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
656 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
657 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
661 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
662 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
664 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
665 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
666 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
667 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
668 using it for new code!
670 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
671 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
672 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
673 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
675 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
676 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
677 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
678 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
679 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
680 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
681 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
682 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
685 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
688 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
689 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
693 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
695 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
696 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
697 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
701 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
702 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
705 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
706 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
708 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
709 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
710 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
713 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
714 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
715 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
716 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
717 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
718 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
720 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
722 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
726 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
727 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
729 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
730 associated_methods. (hdp)
731 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
732 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
733 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
734 misspelled) arguments
736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
737 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
738 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
739 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
742 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
743 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
745 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
749 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
750 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
753 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
754 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
756 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
758 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
759 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
761 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
762 * Moose::Manual::Types
763 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
764 string parsing rathole (mst)
766 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
767 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
768 using plain objects instead
770 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
771 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
774 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
776 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
777 three times today (perigrin)
778 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
779 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
782 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
783 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
784 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
787 - A role's required methods are now represented by
788 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
789 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
790 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
791 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
792 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
795 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
796 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
797 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
798 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
801 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
803 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
806 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
808 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
811 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
812 during global destruction. This method has been made more
813 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
817 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
818 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
821 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
822 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
824 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
825 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
826 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
829 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
831 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
832 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
835 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
839 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
840 methods during global destruction (doy)
843 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
844 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
848 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
849 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
852 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
853 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
856 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
857 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
859 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
861 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
865 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
866 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
867 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
870 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
871 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
872 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
875 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
877 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
878 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
879 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
882 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
883 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
884 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
885 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
887 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
888 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
889 of the Moose core (Sartak)
892 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
895 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
896 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
897 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
901 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
902 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
905 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
907 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
910 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
911 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
914 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
915 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
918 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
919 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
922 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
925 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
927 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
928 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
932 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
934 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
935 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
938 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
939 * More deprecations and renamings
940 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
941 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
942 when an object is constructed)
945 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
946 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
947 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
950 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
951 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
952 feature, and it works again.
955 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
957 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
959 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
960 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
961 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
963 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
964 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
965 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
966 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
967 message. Test provided by perigrin.
969 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
970 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
971 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
972 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
973 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
976 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
977 metaclass object. (hdp)
979 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
980 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
981 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
982 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
983 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
984 point out this fact. (hdp)
986 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
987 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
989 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
990 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
993 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
994 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
995 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
996 called during instance construction were passed the
997 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
998 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1000 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1001 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1004 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1005 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1006 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1009 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1010 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1011 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1012 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1013 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1015 - Moose::Meta::Class
1016 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1018 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1019 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1020 when an object is constructed)
1021 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1023 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1024 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1025 when an object is constructed)
1026 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1027 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1028 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1031 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1033 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1034 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1036 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1038 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1039 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1040 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1042 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1043 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1044 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1046 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1048 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1049 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1051 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1052 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1055 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1056 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1059 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1060 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1061 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1064 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1068 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1069 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1070 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1073 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1076 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1077 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1078 with recommended workarounds.
1080 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1081 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1084 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1085 (yes, spelled like that).
1087 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1088 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1090 * Moose::Meta::Class
1091 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1092 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1094 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1096 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1097 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1098 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1099 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1100 instead. Reported by doy.
1102 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1104 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1105 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1107 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1108 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1109 message) is now deprecated.
1110 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1111 often got it wrong. For example:
1113 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1115 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1119 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1120 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1121 bite you in weird cases.
1123 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1124 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1125 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1126 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1128 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1129 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1133 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1136 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1137 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1140 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1141 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1144 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1147 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1148 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1149 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1150 - added tests for this (stevan)
1152 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1153 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1154 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1155 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1159 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1160 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1161 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1162 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1164 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1165 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1166 - added tests for this (rafl)
1168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1169 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1170 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1171 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1175 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1176 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1179 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1180 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1181 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1185 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1186 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1188 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1189 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1190 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1191 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1192 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1194 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1195 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1196 error message did not specify the attribute name
1199 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1201 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1203 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1204 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1205 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1207 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1208 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1211 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1213 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1214 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1215 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1216 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1218 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1220 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1221 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1222 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1223 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1226 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1227 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1229 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1230 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1231 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1232 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1233 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1235 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1236 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1237 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1238 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1239 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1241 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1242 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1243 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1244 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1245 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1246 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1248 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1249 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1250 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1251 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1252 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1253 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1256 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1258 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1259 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1260 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1261 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1264 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1267 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1271 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1272 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1274 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1275 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1276 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1277 guts. (nothingmuch).
1279 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1281 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1284 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1285 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1286 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1288 * Moose::Meta::Class
1289 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1292 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1293 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1295 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1296 * Moose::Unsweetened
1297 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1300 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1301 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1302 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1303 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1304 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1305 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1308 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1309 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1310 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1311 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1312 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1313 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1314 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1315 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1316 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1318 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1320 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1321 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1324 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1325 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1326 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1328 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1329 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1330 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1331 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1332 same methods for a single role did not work
1333 right (worked just fine with multiple
1335 - added test for this (stevan)
1337 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1338 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1339 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1342 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1343 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1344 - added test for this (t0m)
1347 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1348 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1349 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1352 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1353 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1354 - added test for this (t0m)
1356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1357 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1358 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1359 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1360 - added test for this (perigrin)
1363 - create method for constructing a role
1364 dynamically (Sartak)
1365 - added test for this (Sartak)
1366 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1367 - added test for this (Sartak)
1370 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1372 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1373 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1374 methods is useful (Sartak)
1376 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1378 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1381 * Moose::Meta::Class
1382 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1383 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1384 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1385 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1386 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1387 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1390 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1391 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1393 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1394 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1395 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1396 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1397 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1399 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1401 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1402 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1403 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1406 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1407 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1408 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1409 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1410 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1411 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1414 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1415 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1416 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1417 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1418 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1419 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1420 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1421 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1422 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1423 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1424 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1427 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1430 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1431 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1432 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1433 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1434 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1436 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1438 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1439 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1440 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1442 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1443 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1445 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1446 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1447 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1448 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1451 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1452 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1454 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1456 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1457 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1459 * Moose::Meta::Class
1460 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1461 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1462 a required attribute
1464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1465 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1466 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1467 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1469 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1470 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1473 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1474 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1475 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1476 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1477 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1478 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1479 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1481 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1482 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1483 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1485 * Roles and role application
1486 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1487 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1488 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1489 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1490 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1492 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1493 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1496 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1497 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1498 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1499 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1500 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1503 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1504 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1505 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1506 changes in the Moose internals.
1508 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1510 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1513 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1514 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1515 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1516 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1518 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1519 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1520 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1521 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1524 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1525 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1526 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1527 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1528 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1529 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1530 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1531 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1532 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1533 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1534 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1535 constraint implementations.
1537 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1541 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1542 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1543 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1544 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1545 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1546 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1547 - added tests for this (rafl)
1549 * Moose::Meta::Class
1550 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1551 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1552 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1553 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1554 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1555 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1556 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1557 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1560 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1561 - added tests for this (thepler)
1563 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1564 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1565 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1566 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1569 * Moose::Meta::Class
1570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1571 * Moose::Meta::Method
1574 * Moose::Error::Default
1575 * Moose::Error::Croak
1576 * Moose::Error::Confess
1577 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1578 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1579 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1580 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1581 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1582 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1584 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1586 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1587 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1589 * Moose::Unsweetened
1590 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1591 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1592 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1594 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1595 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1596 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1597 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1598 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1601 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1602 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1604 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1605 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1606 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1607 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1610 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1612 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1613 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1615 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1618 - Various bug fixes.
1620 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1621 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1623 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1625 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1626 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1627 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1628 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1629 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1630 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1632 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1633 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1634 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1636 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1637 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1638 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1641 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1642 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1643 dependency to 0.64_07.
1645 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1646 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1647 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1649 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1650 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1653 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1654 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1655 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1656 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1657 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1658 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1661 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1663 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1665 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1666 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1670 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1671 method when that method was provided by another role being
1672 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1673 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1675 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1677 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1678 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1681 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1682 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1683 - added test for this (t0m)
1685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1686 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1687 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1689 - added test for this (t0m)
1692 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1693 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1694 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1698 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1700 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1702 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1703 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1705 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1706 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1707 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1709 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1710 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1713 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1714 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1715 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1716 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1720 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1721 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1722 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1725 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1726 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1727 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1728 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1731 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1735 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1736 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1737 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1739 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1741 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1742 created so that the process can be more easily
1743 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1745 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1746 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1747 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1748 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1750 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1751 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1754 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1755 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1757 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1758 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1759 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1761 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1762 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1763 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1765 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1766 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1769 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1772 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1773 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1777 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1778 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1780 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1781 ... this is not my day today ...
1783 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1784 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1785 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1786 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1787 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1790 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1791 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1792 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1793 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1794 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1797 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1799 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1800 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1801 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1802 this is not ever something you want to do
1803 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1804 - added tests for this (stevan)
1807 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1809 - added test for this
1811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1812 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1813 - added tests for this (wreis)
1815 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1816 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1817 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1818 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1820 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1821 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1822 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1825 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1827 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1829 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1832 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1833 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1834 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1835 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1836 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1837 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1838 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1839 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1840 - added tests for this
1842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1843 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1844 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1845 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1847 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1850 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1851 - added tests for this (sartak)
1852 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1853 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1856 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1858 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1859 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1862 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1863 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1864 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1866 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1868 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1869 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1872 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1874 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1876 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1877 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1878 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1880 - added docs for this (TODO).
1881 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1882 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1883 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1884 - fix builder and default both being used
1889 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1891 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1892 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1893 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1897 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1901 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1902 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1903 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1905 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1906 - move the ClassName type check code to
1907 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1909 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1910 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1912 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1913 (early morning release engineering)--
1915 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1916 which was causing the indexer to choke
1918 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1919 (late night release engineering)--
1921 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1922 changes in this release
1924 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1925 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1926 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1928 * Moose::Meta::Class
1929 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1930 since it is called so often by &meta
1932 * Moose::Meta::Class
1934 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1935 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1938 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1939 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1940 method for immutablization to check if the
1941 destructor object even needs to be created
1944 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1945 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1946 - added more descriptive error message to help
1947 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1948 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1950 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1952 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1953 XS based functionality is now optional
1954 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1955 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1956 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1958 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1959 to take care of this, mostly we added
1960 support for the package_name and name
1961 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1962 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1963 support regexp matching of names
1964 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1965 - tests added for this
1966 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1967 is currently not supported in roles,
1968 but, ... patches welcome
1969 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1970 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1971 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1974 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1975 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1976 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1977 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1978 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1979 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1980 - added test for this
1982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1983 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1984 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1987 * Moose::Meta::Class
1988 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1992 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1994 - added tests for this
1995 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1996 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1999 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2000 themselves parameterizable types
2002 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2003 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2004 called by the inlined immutable
2006 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2008 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2009 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2010 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2011 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2013 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2014 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2018 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2019 causing occasional cpantester failures
2020 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2021 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2023 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2025 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2026 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2029 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2030 ->body when looping through the
2031 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2033 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2034 eating the $@ values, and so not
2035 working correctly, it still kind of
2036 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2037 - added tests for this
2039 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2040 - added new recipe for immutable
2041 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2043 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2044 - added new recipe for builder and
2045 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2047 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2048 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2049 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2052 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2054 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2055 since Module::Install has done that.
2057 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2059 drink more coffee before
2060 doing release engineering
2062 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2063 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

2177 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2179 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2470 - added tests for this
2473 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2474 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2513 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2516 - fixed how required methods are handled
2517 when they encounter overriden or modified
2518 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2519 - added tests for this
2521 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2522 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2523 the | always creates a union and so is
2524 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2525 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2527 - added more tests for this
2529 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2532 * Parameterized Types
2533 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2534 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2535 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2536 They can also be nested:
2537 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2538 And work with the type unions as well:
2539 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2541 * Better Framework Extendability
2542 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2543 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2544 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2545 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2548 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2549 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2550 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2551 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2735 - altered unimport tests to handle this
2738 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
2740 * Moose::Meta::Class
2741 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT

2746 where not handled correctly in roles
2747 - added tests for this
2749 * Moose::Meta::Class
2750 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2751 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2752 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2754 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2755 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2757 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2758 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2759 so this release is just to fix that.
2762 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2763 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2764 (thanks to konobi for this)
2765 - added tests and docs
2767 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2768 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2771 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2772 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2773 - added tests for this
2774 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2775 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2776 functions to facilitate introspection.
2778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2779 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2780 to build the list of delegated methods
2781 correctly (and not override important
2782 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2784 - added tests and docs for this
2785 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2786 so that you can actually document your
2787 attributes and inspect them through the
2789 - added tests and docs for this
2791 * Moose::Meta::Class
2792 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2793 it will first look in for the class in the
2794 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2795 then default to just loading $name.
2796 - added tests and docs for this
2798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2799 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2800 - added test for this
2803 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2804 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2805 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2806 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2808 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2809 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2812 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2814 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2815 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2816 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2819 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2820 !! for this developer release to work !!
2822 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2823 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2824 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2825 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2826 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2827 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2828 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2829 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2830 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2831 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2832 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2834 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2835 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2836 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2837 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2840 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2842 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2843 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2844 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2846 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2848 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2849 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2852 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2853 called unless they actually need to be.
2854 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2855 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2856 DEMOLISH method present.
2858 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2859 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2860 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2861 type constraint, which allows for a
2862 hand optimized version of the type
2863 constraint to be used when possible.
2864 - Any internally created type constraints
2865 now provide an optimized version as well.
2867 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2869 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2870 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2871 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2874 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2875 your class namespace of these exported
2878 * Moose::Meta::Class
2879 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2880 comes up during global destruction
2882 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2886 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2889 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2890 - changed how we do type checks so that
2891 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2894 - moved accessor generation methods to
2895 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2896 conform to the API changes from
2899 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2900 - changed how constraints are compiled
2901 so that we do less recursion and more
2902 iteration. This makes the type check
2904 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2907 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2908 - created this from methods formerly found in
2909 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2911 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2912 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2914 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2915 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2917 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2918 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2920 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2922 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2923 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2924 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2925 - added tests for this
2926 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2927 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2928 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2929 - removed tests for this
2931 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2933 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2934 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2935 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2938 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2939 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2940 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2942 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2943 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2944 comments for more info.
2947 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2948 asked questions and common problems
2950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2951 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2952 - added tests for this
2954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2955 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2956 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2957 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2959 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2960 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2963 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2964 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2965 is much appreciated :)
2966 - added tests for this
2968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2969 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2970 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2974 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2976 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2978 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2979 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2983 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2984 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2985 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2987 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2989 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2992 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2993 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2994 keywords because we need to localize them.
2995 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2997 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2998 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2999 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3002 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3005 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3006 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3007 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3010 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3011 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3012 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3014 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3016 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3017 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3018 bottom of your class file.
3021 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3024 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3026 - improved error message when loading modules so
3027 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3028 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3029 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3032 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3033 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3034 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3036 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3037 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3039 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3040 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3041 turn them on for you.
3042 - added tests for this

3071 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3072 - This release works in combination with
3073 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3074 release because it uses the a new
3075 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3076 complete Role implementation. It has
3077 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3078 the the previous CPAN version. This
3079 release also lacks good updated docs,
3080 the official release will have updated docs.
3083 - refactored the keyword exports
3084 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3085 accepts more than one Role at a time

3096 string enumerations which can be used as
3098 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3101 - more careful checking of params to new()
3104 - much work done on the role composition
3105 - many new tests for conflict detection
3106 and composition edge cases
3107 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3108 looking at the tests
3110 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3111 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3112 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3114 * Moose::Meta::Class

3122 - some small changes to support the new
3124 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3125 with the 'handles' option
