1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
7 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
9 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
12 * Don't write temporary files in t/, rather use File::Temp to create
13 a temporary directory. This caused an issue for anyone running the
14 Moose tests with user that didn't have permission to write to the
15 t/ directory. (Chris Weyl, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason)
17 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
21 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
22 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
26 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
28 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
32 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
33 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
37 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
38 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
42 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
48 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
49 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
53 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
54 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
58 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
59 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
61 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
65 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
66 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
67 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
74 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
75 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
76 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
77 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
83 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
84 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
85 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
89 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
96 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
97 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
98 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
102 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
103 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
105 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
106 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
107 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
108 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
110 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
114 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
118 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
119 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
121 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
122 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
123 - Moose::Util::does_role
124 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
125 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
126 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
128 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
132 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
133 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
134 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
137 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
141 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
142 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
145 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
149 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
150 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
153 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
157 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
159 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
160 class. (Dave Rolsky).
162 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
163 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
164 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
167 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
168 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
171 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
172 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
174 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
175 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
176 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
178 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
180 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
181 substr et al, again. (sorear)
183 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
185 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
188 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
189 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
191 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
192 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
194 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
195 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
196 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
197 dependencies installed.
199 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
200 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
203 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
205 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
209 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
212 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
213 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
215 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
216 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
217 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
219 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
220 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
223 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
224 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
225 others. (nothingmuch)
227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
228 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
229 remove_accessors. (doy)
231 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
232 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
233 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
236 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
238 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
240 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
241 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
244 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
245 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
247 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
248 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
250 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
252 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
253 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
256 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
257 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
258 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
259 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
260 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
262 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
265 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
266 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
267 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
268 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
271 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
272 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
273 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
274 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
275 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
277 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
278 which were not receiving the value of
279 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
280 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
281 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
282 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
286 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
287 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
288 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
289 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
290 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
293 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
294 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
295 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
296 - added tests for this (Stevan)
299 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
300 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
301 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
304 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
306 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
308 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
309 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
310 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
313 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
314 class if you pass it options for
315 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
316 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
317 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
318 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
319 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
320 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
321 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
322 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
323 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
325 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
326 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
327 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
328 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
329 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
332 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
334 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
335 existing delegation API. (hdp)
337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
338 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
339 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
340 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
341 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
342 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
345 * Moose::Error::Croak
346 * Moose::Error::Confess
347 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
348 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
351 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
354 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
355 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
356 installing a broken sub. (doy)
359 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
362 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
363 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
364 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
366 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
367 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
368 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
369 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
370 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
373 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
376 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
378 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
379 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
382 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
383 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
385 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
386 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
387 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
388 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
390 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
391 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
392 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
393 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
394 using it for new code!
396 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
397 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
398 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
399 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
401 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
402 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
403 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
404 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
405 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
406 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
407 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
408 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
411 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
414 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
415 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
418 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
419 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
422 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
423 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
426 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
427 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
428 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
431 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
432 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
435 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
436 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
439 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
441 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
442 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
443 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
444 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
446 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
448 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
451 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
452 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
453 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
455 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
456 associated_methods. (hdp)
457 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
458 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
459 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
460 misspelled) arguments
462 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
463 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
464 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
465 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
468 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
469 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
471 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
475 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
476 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
479 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
480 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
482 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
484 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
485 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
487 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
488 * Moose::Manual::Types
489 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
490 string parsing rathole (mst)
492 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
493 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
494 using plain objects instead
496 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
497 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
500 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
502 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
503 three times today (perigrin)
504 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
505 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
508 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
509 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
510 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
513 - A role's required methods are now represented by
514 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
515 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
516 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
517 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
518 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
521 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
522 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
523 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
524 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
527 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
529 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
532 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
534 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
537 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
538 during global destruction. This method has been made more
539 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
543 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
544 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
547 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
548 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
550 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
551 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
552 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
555 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
557 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
558 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
561 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
565 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
566 methods during global destruction (doy)
569 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
570 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
574 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
575 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
578 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
579 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
582 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
583 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
585 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
587 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
591 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
592 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
593 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
596 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
597 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
598 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
601 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
603 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
604 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
605 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
608 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
609 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
610 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
611 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
613 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
614 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
615 of the Moose core (Sartak)
618 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
621 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
622 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
623 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
627 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
628 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
631 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
633 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
636 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
637 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
640 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
641 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
644 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
645 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
648 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
651 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
654 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
658 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
661 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
664 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
665 * More deprecations and renamings
666 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
667 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
668 when an object is constructed)
671 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
672 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
673 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
675 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
676 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
677 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
678 feature, and it works again.
681 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
683 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
685 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
686 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
687 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
690 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
691 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
692 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
693 message. Test provided by perigrin.
695 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
696 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
697 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
698 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
699 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
702 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
703 metaclass object. (hdp)
705 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
706 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
707 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
708 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
709 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
710 point out this fact. (hdp)
712 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
713 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
715 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
716 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
719 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
720 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
721 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
722 called during instance construction were passed the
723 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
724 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
726 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
727 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
730 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
731 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
732 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
735 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
736 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
737 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
738 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
739 them, but they are not for "public" use.
742 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
744 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
745 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
746 when an object is constructed)
747 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
749 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
750 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
751 when an object is constructed)
752 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
753 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
754 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
757 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
759 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
760 * No changes from 0.72_01.
762 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
764 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
765 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
766 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
769 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
770 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
772 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
774 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
775 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
777 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
778 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
781 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
782 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
785 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
786 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
787 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
789 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
790 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
794 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
795 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
796 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
799 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
802 * Moose::Manual::Delta
803 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
804 with recommended workarounds.
806 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
807 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
809 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
810 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
811 (yes, spelled like that).
813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
814 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
817 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
818 changes in latest Class::MOP.
820 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
822 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
823 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
824 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
825 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
826 instead. Reported by doy.
828 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
830 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
831 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
834 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
835 message) is now deprecated.
836 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
837 often got it wrong. For example:
839 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
841 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
845 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
846 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
847 bite you in weird cases.
849 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
850 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
851 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
854 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
855 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
859 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
862 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
863 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
866 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
867 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
870 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
873 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
874 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
875 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
876 - added tests for this (stevan)
878 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
879 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
880 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
881 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
885 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
886 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
887 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
888 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
890 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
891 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
892 - added tests for this (rafl)
894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
895 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
896 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
897 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
901 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
902 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
905 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
906 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
907 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
909 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
911 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
912 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
915 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
916 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
917 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
918 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
920 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
921 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
922 error message did not specify the attribute name
925 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
927 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
929 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
930 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
931 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
933 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
934 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
937 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
939 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
940 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
941 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
942 of fixes and formatting improvements.
944 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
946 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
947 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
948 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
949 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
952 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
953 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
956 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
957 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
958 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
959 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
961 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
962 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
963 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
964 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
965 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
967 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
968 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
969 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
970 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
971 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
972 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
974 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
975 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
976 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
977 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
978 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
979 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
982 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
984 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
985 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
986 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
987 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
989 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
990 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
993 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
997 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
998 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1000 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1001 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1002 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1003 guts. (nothingmuch).
1005 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1006 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1007 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1010 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1011 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1012 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1014 * Moose::Meta::Class
1015 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1018 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1019 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1021 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1022 * Moose::Unsweetened
1023 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1026 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1027 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1028 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1029 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1030 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1031 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1033 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1034 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1035 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1036 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1037 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1038 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1039 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1040 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1041 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1042 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1044 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1046 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1047 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1050 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1051 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1052 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1054 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1055 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1056 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1057 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1058 same methods for a single role did not work
1059 right (worked just fine with multiple
1061 - added test for this (stevan)
1063 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1064 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1065 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1068 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1069 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1070 - added test for this (t0m)
1073 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1074 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1075 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1077 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1078 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1079 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1080 - added test for this (t0m)
1082 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1083 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1084 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1085 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1086 - added test for this (perigrin)
1089 - create method for constructing a role
1090 dynamically (Sartak)
1091 - added test for this (Sartak)
1092 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1093 - added test for this (Sartak)
1096 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1098 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1099 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1100 methods is useful (Sartak)
1102 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1103 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1104 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1107 * Moose::Meta::Class
1108 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1109 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1110 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1111 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1112 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1113 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1116 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1117 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1119 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1121 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1122 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1123 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1125 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1127 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1128 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1129 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1132 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1133 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1134 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1135 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1136 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1137 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1141 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1142 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1143 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1144 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1145 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1146 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1147 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1148 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1149 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1150 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1153 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1156 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1157 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1158 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1159 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1160 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1162 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1164 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1165 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1166 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1169 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1171 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1172 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1173 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1174 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1177 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1178 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1180 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1182 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1183 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1185 * Moose::Meta::Class
1186 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1187 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1188 a required attribute
1190 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1191 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1192 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1193 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1195 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1196 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1199 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1200 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1201 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1202 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1203 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1204 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1205 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1207 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1208 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1209 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1211 * Roles and role application
1212 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1213 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1214 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1215 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1216 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1218 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1219 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1223 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1224 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1225 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1226 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1229 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1230 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1231 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1232 changes in the Moose internals.
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1236 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1240 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1241 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1242 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1244 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1245 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1246 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1247 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1249 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1250 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1251 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1252 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1253 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1254 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1255 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1256 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1257 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1258 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1259 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1260 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1261 constraint implementations.
1263 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1267 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1268 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1269 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1270 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1271 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1272 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1273 - added tests for this (rafl)
1275 * Moose::Meta::Class
1276 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1277 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1278 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1279 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1280 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1281 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1282 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1283 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1286 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1287 - added tests for this (thepler)
1289 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1290 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1291 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1292 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1295 * Moose::Meta::Class
1296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method
1300 * Moose::Error::Default
1301 * Moose::Error::Croak
1302 * Moose::Error::Confess
1303 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1304 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1305 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1306 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1307 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1308 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1310 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1312 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1313 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1315 * Moose::Unsweetened
1316 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1317 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1318 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1320 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1321 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1322 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1323 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1324 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1327 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1328 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1330 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1331 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1332 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1333 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1336 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1338 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1339 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1341 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1344 - Various bug fixes.
1346 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1347 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1349 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1351 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1352 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1353 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1354 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1355 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1356 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1358 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1359 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1360 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1362 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

1507 ... this is not my day today ...
1509 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1510 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1511 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1512 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1513 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1516 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1517 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1518 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

1559 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1560 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1561 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1562 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1563 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1564 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1565 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1566 - added tests for this
1568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1569 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2057 - this release contains a major reworking and
2058 cleanup of the role system
2059 - 100% backwards compat.
2060 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2061 classes based on type of applicants
2062 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2063 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2064 used in this process
2065 - new Composite role metaclass
2066 - runtime application of roles to instances
2067 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2068 classes when applicable
2070 * <<New Role composition features>>
2071 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2073 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2074 still retain the original as well)

2077 - added this module (see above)
2079 * Moose::Meta::Class
2080 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
2081 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct
2083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2084 - fixed bug when passing a list of values to
2085 an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored.
2086 Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)

2090 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2091 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2092 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2098 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2100 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2101 - added this module to support the refactor
2102 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2104 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2105 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2106 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2110 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2112 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2113 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2114 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2116 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2136 - added tests for this
2138 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2139 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need

2149 having to do it all in one place
2150 - added tests for this
2152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2153 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2154 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2157 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2158 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2159 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2160 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2164 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2166 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2168 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2169 - added tests for this.
2170 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2171 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2172 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.

2174 - added docs for this
2176 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2177 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2178 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2179 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2180 instead it will just return undef.
2181 - added docs for this

2196 - added tests for this
2199 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2200 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2203 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2239 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2242 - fixed how required methods are handled
2243 when they encounter overriden or modified
2244 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2245 - added tests for this
2247 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2248 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2249 the | always creates a union and so is
2250 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2251 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2253 - added more tests for this
2255 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2258 * Parameterized Types
2259 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2260 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2261 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2262 They can also be nested:
2263 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2264 And work with the type unions as well:
2265 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2267 * Better Framework Extendability
2268 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2269 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2270 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2271 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2274 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2275 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2276 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2277 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2280 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2282 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2283 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2286 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2314 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2316 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2317 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2318 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2319 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2321 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2322 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct

2326 +++ with new features added as well +++
2328 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2342 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2343 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2345 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2346 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2347 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2348 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2362 (thanks to shlomif).
2364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2365 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2366 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2415 (but not changing the handles option)
2416 - added tests and docs for this
2419 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2420 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2434 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2435 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2436 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2437 prototypes for functions
2438 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2439 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2449 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2452 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2453 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2454 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2455 - added tests for this
2457 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2459 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2481 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2483 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2484 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2485 so this release is just to fix that.
2488 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2489 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2490 (thanks to konobi for this)

2501 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2502 functions to facilitate introspection.
2504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2505 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2506 to build the list of delegated methods
2507 correctly (and not override important
2508 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2510 - added tests and docs for this
2511 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2512 so that you can actually document your
2513 attributes and inspect them through the
2515 - added tests and docs for this
2517 * Moose::Meta::Class
2518 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2519 it will first look in for the class in the
2520 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2521 then default to just loading $name.
2522 - added tests and docs for this
2524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2525 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2526 - added test for this
2529 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2530 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2531 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2532 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2534 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2535 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2538 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2540 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2541 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2542 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2545 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2546 !! for this developer release to work !!
2548 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2549 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2550 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2551 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2552 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2553 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2554 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2555 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2556 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2557 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2558 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2560 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2561 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2562 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2563 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2566 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2568 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2569 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2570 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2572 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2574 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2575 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2578 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2579 called unless they actually need to be.
2580 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2581 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2582 DEMOLISH method present.
2584 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2585 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2586 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2587 type constraint, which allows for a
2588 hand optimized version of the type
2589 constraint to be used when possible.
2590 - Any internally created type constraints
2591 now provide an optimized version as well.
2593 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2595 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2596 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2597 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2600 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2601 your class namespace of these exported
2604 * Moose::Meta::Class
2605 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2606 comes up during global destruction
2608 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2612 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2616 - changed how we do type checks so that
2617 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2620 - moved accessor generation methods to
2621 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2622 conform to the API changes from
2625 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2626 - changed how constraints are compiled
2627 so that we do less recursion and more
2628 iteration. This makes the type check
2630 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2633 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2634 - created this from methods formerly found in
2635 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2637 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2638 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2640 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2641 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2643 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2644 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2646 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2648 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2649 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2650 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2651 - added tests for this
2652 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2653 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2654 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2655 - removed tests for this
2657 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2659 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2660 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2661 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2664 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2665 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2666 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2668 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2669 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2670 comments for more info.
2673 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2674 asked questions and common problems
2676 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2677 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2678 - added tests for this
2680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2681 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2682 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2683 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2685 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2686 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2689 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2690 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2691 is much appreciated :)
2692 - added tests for this
2694 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2695 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2696 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2699 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2700 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2702 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2704 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2705 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2709 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2710 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2711 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2713 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2715 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2718 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2719 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2720 keywords because we need to localize them.
2721 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2723 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2724 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2725 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2728 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2731 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2732 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2733 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2736 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2737 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2738 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2740 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2742 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2743 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2744 bottom of your class file.
2747 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2750 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2752 - improved error message when loading modules so
2753 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2754 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2755 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2758 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2759 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2760 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2763 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2765 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2766 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2767 turn them on for you.
2768 - added tests for this
2769 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2770 in Moose::Meta::Class
2773 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2774 automatically turned on for you.
2775 - added tests for this
2778 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2779 - added tests for this
2780 - added some more edge case tests

2797 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2798 - This release works in combination with
2799 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2800 release because it uses the a new
2801 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2802 complete Role implementation. It has
2803 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2804 the the previous CPAN version. This
2805 release also lacks good updated docs,
2806 the official release will have updated docs.
2809 - refactored the keyword exports
2810 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2811 accepts more than one Role at a time
2812 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2813 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2816 - refactored the keyword exports
2817 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2818 accepts more than one Role at a time
2820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2821 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2822 string enumerations which can be used as
2824 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2827 - more careful checking of params to new()
2830 - much work done on the role composition
2831 - many new tests for conflict detection
2832 and composition edge cases
2833 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2834 looking at the tests
2836 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2837 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2838 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2840 * Moose::Meta::Class
2841 - some small changes to support the new
2843 - some small additions to support Roles
2845 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2846 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2848 - some small changes to support the new
2850 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2851 with the 'handles' option
2852 - added several tests for this
2853 - no docs for this yet
2855 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2857 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2858 thanks to chansen for this commit
2859 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2860 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2861 on a per-attribute basis
2862 - added tests for this
2863 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2864 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2865 experimental feature and probably not finished
