1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
7 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
8 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
9 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
10 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
15 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
18 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
19 constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
23 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
24 and aren't easily installable/testable.
26 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
30 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
31 to be overridden more easily (doy).
33 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
37 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
38 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
40 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
44 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
45 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
46 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
48 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
52 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
53 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
54 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
56 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
57 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
61 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
62 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
64 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
65 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
69 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
70 is applied to a class (t0m).
72 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
73 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
75 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
78 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
79 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
81 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
82 be much more robust. (doy)
84 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
86 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
89 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
93 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
94 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
96 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
100 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
101 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
103 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
106 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
107 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
108 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
110 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
111 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
112 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
115 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
117 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
121 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
122 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
126 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
128 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
133 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
137 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
138 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
142 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
144 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
148 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
149 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
153 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
154 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
158 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
159 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
161 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
165 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
166 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
167 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
170 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
174 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
175 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
176 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
177 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
179 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
183 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
184 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
185 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
189 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
192 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
197 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
198 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
202 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
203 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
205 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
206 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
207 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
208 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
210 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
214 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
218 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
219 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
221 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
222 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
223 - Moose::Util::does_role
224 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
225 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
226 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
228 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
232 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
233 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
234 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
237 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
241 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
242 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
245 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
249 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
250 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
253 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
257 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
259 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
260 class. (Dave Rolsky).
262 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
263 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
264 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
266 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
267 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
268 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
271 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
272 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
274 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
275 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
276 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
278 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
280 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
281 substr et al, again. (sorear)
283 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
285 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
288 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
289 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
291 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
292 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
294 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
295 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
296 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
297 dependencies installed.
299 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
300 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
303 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
305 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
309 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
312 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
313 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
316 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
317 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
319 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
320 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
323 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
324 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
325 others. (nothingmuch)
327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
328 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
329 remove_accessors. (doy)
331 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
332 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
333 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
336 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
338 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
340 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
341 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
344 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
345 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
348 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
350 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
352 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
353 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
357 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
358 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
359 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
360 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
362 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
363 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
365 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
366 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
367 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
368 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
371 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
372 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
373 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
374 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
375 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
377 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
378 which were not receiving the value of
379 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
380 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
381 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
382 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
386 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
387 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
388 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
389 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
390 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
393 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
394 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
395 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
396 - added tests for this (Stevan)
399 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
400 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
401 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
404 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
406 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
409 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
410 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
413 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
414 class if you pass it options for
415 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
416 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
417 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
418 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
419 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
420 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
421 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
422 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
423 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
425 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
426 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
427 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
428 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
429 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
432 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
434 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
435 existing delegation API. (hdp)
437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
438 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
439 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
440 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
441 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
442 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
445 * Moose::Error::Croak
446 * Moose::Error::Confess
447 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
448 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
451 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
454 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
455 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
456 installing a broken sub. (doy)
459 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
462 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
463 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
464 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
466 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
467 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
468 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
469 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
470 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
472 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
473 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
476 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
478 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
479 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
482 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
483 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
485 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
486 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
487 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
488 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
491 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
492 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
493 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
494 using it for new code!
496 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
497 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
498 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
499 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
501 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
502 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
503 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
504 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
505 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
506 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
507 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
508 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
511 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
514 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
515 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
519 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
521 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
522 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
523 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
526 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
527 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
528 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
531 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
532 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
534 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
535 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
536 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
539 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
540 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
541 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
542 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
543 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
544 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
546 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
548 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
551 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
552 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
553 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
555 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
556 associated_methods. (hdp)
557 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
558 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
559 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
560 misspelled) arguments
562 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
563 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
564 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
565 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
568 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
569 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
571 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
575 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
576 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
579 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
580 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
582 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
584 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
585 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
587 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
588 * Moose::Manual::Types
589 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
590 string parsing rathole (mst)
592 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
593 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
594 using plain objects instead
596 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
597 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
600 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
602 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
603 three times today (perigrin)
604 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
605 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
607 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
608 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
609 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
610 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
613 - A role's required methods are now represented by
614 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
615 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
616 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
617 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
618 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
621 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
622 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
623 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
624 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
627 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
629 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
632 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
634 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
637 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
638 during global destruction. This method has been made more
639 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
643 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
644 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
647 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
648 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
650 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
651 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
652 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
655 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
657 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
658 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
661 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
665 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
666 methods during global destruction (doy)
669 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
670 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
674 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
675 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
678 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
679 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
682 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
683 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
685 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
687 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
691 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
692 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
693 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
696 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
697 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
698 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
701 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
703 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
704 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
705 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
708 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
709 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
710 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
711 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
713 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
714 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
715 of the Moose core (Sartak)
718 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
721 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
722 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
723 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
727 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
728 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
731 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
733 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
736 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
737 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
740 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
741 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
744 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
745 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
748 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
751 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
754 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
758 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
761 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
764 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
765 * More deprecations and renamings
766 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
767 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
768 when an object is constructed)
771 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
772 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
773 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
775 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
776 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
777 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
778 feature, and it works again.
781 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
783 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
785 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
786 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
787 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
789 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
790 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
791 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
792 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
793 message. Test provided by perigrin.
795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
796 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
797 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
798 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
799 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
802 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
803 metaclass object. (hdp)
805 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
806 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
807 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
808 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
809 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
810 point out this fact. (hdp)
812 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
813 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
815 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
816 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
819 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
820 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
821 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
822 called during instance construction were passed the
823 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
824 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
826 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
827 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
830 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
831 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
832 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
835 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
836 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
837 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
838 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
839 them, but they are not for "public" use.
842 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
844 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
845 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
846 when an object is constructed)
847 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
849 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
850 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
851 when an object is constructed)
852 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
853 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
854 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
857 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
859 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
860 * No changes from 0.72_01.
862 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
864 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
865 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
866 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
869 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
870 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
872 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
874 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
875 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
877 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
878 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
881 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
882 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
885 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
886 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
887 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
889 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
890 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
894 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
895 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
896 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
898 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
899 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
902 * Moose::Manual::Delta
903 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
904 with recommended workarounds.
906 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
907 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
909 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
910 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
911 (yes, spelled like that).
913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
914 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
917 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
918 changes in latest Class::MOP.
920 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
922 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
923 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
924 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
925 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
926 instead. Reported by doy.
928 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
930 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
931 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
934 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
935 message) is now deprecated.
936 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
937 often got it wrong. For example:
939 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
941 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
945 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
946 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
947 bite you in weird cases.
949 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
950 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
951 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
954 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
955 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
959 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
962 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
963 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
966 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
967 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
969 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
970 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
973 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
975 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
976 - added tests for this (stevan)
978 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
979 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
980 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
981 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
985 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
986 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
987 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
988 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
990 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
991 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
992 - added tests for this (rafl)
994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
995 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
996 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
997 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1001 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1002 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1006 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1007 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1009 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1011 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1012 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1014 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1015 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1016 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1017 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1018 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1021 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1022 error message did not specify the attribute name
1025 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1027 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1029 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1030 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1031 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1033 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1034 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1037 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1039 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1040 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1041 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1042 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1044 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1046 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1047 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1048 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1049 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1052 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1053 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1055 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1056 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1057 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1058 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1059 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1061 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1062 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1063 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1064 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1065 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1068 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1069 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1070 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1071 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1072 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1074 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1075 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1076 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1077 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1078 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1079 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1082 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1084 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1085 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1086 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1087 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1090 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1093 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1097 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1098 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1100 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1101 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1102 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1103 guts. (nothingmuch).
1105 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1107 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1110 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1111 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1112 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Class
1115 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1118 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1119 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1121 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1122 * Moose::Unsweetened
1123 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1126 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1127 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1128 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1129 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1130 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1131 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1134 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1135 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1136 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1137 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1138 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1139 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1140 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1141 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1142 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1144 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1146 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1147 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1149 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1150 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1151 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1152 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1154 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1155 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1156 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1157 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1158 same methods for a single role did not work
1159 right (worked just fine with multiple
1161 - added test for this (stevan)
1163 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1164 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1165 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1168 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1169 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1170 - added test for this (t0m)
1173 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1174 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1175 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1178 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1179 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1180 - added test for this (t0m)
1182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1183 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1184 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1185 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1186 - added test for this (perigrin)
1189 - create method for constructing a role
1190 dynamically (Sartak)
1191 - added test for this (Sartak)
1192 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1193 - added test for this (Sartak)
1196 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1199 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1200 methods is useful (Sartak)
1202 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1203 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1204 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1207 * Moose::Meta::Class
1208 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1209 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1210 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1211 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1212 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1213 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1216 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1217 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1219 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1220 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1221 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1222 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1223 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1225 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1227 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1228 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1229 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1232 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1233 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1234 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1235 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1236 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1237 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1240 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1241 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1242 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1243 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1244 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1245 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1246 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1247 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1248 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1249 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1250 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1253 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1256 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1257 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1258 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1259 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1260 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1262 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1264 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1265 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1266 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1269 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1271 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1272 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1273 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1274 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1277 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1278 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1280 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1282 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1283 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1285 * Moose::Meta::Class
1286 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1287 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1288 a required attribute
1290 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1291 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1292 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1293 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1295 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1296 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1299 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1300 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1301 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1302 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1303 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1304 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1305 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1307 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1308 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1309 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1311 * Roles and role application
1312 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1313 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1314 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1315 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1316 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1318 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1319 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1322 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1323 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1324 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1325 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1326 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1329 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1330 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1331 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1332 changes in the Moose internals.
1334 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1336 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1340 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1341 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1342 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1344 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1345 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1346 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1347 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1350 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1351 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1352 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1353 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1354 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1355 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1356 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1357 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1358 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1359 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1360 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1361 constraint implementations.
1363 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1367 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1368 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1369 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1370 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1371 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1372 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1373 - added tests for this (rafl)
1375 * Moose::Meta::Class
1376 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1377 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1378 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1379 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1380 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1381 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1382 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1383 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1386 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1387 - added tests for this (thepler)
1389 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1390 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1391 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1392 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1395 * Moose::Meta::Class
1396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1397 * Moose::Meta::Method
1400 * Moose::Error::Default
1401 * Moose::Error::Croak
1402 * Moose::Error::Confess
1403 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1404 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1405 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1406 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1407 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1408 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1410 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1412 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1413 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1415 * Moose::Unsweetened
1416 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1417 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1418 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1420 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1421 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1422 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1423 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1424 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1427 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1428 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1430 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1431 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1432 several major changes in this release of Moose.

1476 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1479 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1480 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1481 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1482 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1483 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1484 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1486 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1487 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1489 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1491 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1492 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1496 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1497 method when that method was provided by another role being
1498 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1499 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1501 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1509 - added test for this (t0m)
1511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1512 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1513 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1515 - added test for this (t0m)
1518 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1519 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1520 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1523 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1524 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1526 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1528 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1529 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1531 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1532 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1533 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1535 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1536 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1539 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1542 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1546 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1547 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1548 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1557 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1561 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1567 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1568 created so that the process can be more easily

1603 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1604 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1606 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1607 ... this is not my day today ...
1609 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1610 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1611 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1612 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1613 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1616 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1617 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1618 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1619 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1620 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1623 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1625 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1626 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1627 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1628 this is not ever something you want to do
1629 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1630 - added tests for this (stevan)
1633 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1635 - added test for this

1648 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1651 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1653 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1655 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1658 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1659 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1660 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1661 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1662 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1663 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1664 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1665 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1666 - added tests for this
1668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1669 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1670 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1671 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1742 which was causing the indexer to choke
1744 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1745 (late night release engineering)--

1764 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1765 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1766 method for immutablization to check if the
1767 destructor object even needs to be created
1770 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1771 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1772 - added more descriptive error message to help
1773 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1774 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1776 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1778 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1779 XS based functionality is now optional
1780 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1781 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1782 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1784 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1785 to take care of this, mostly we added
1786 support for the package_name and name

1789 support regexp matching of names
1790 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1792 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1793 is currently not supported in roles,
1794 but, ... patches welcome

1796 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1797 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1801 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1802 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1803 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

1806 - added test for this
1808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1834 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1835 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1836 (if possible) to create the anon-class

1855 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1856 ->body when looping through the
1857 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1859 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1860 eating the $@ values, and so not
1861 working correctly, it still kind of
1862 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1863 - added tests for this
1865 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1866 - added new recipe for immutable
1867 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1885 drink more coffee before
1886 doing release engineering
1888 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2003 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2005 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2006 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2007 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2009 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2010 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2031 a role is applied to an the instance (rebless_params)
2032 - added tests for this
2034 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2035 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a
2036 custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
2037 - added tests for this

2045 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2296 - added tests for this
2299 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2300 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2343 when they encounter overriden or modified
2344 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2345 - added tests for this
2347 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2348 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2349 the | always creates a union and so is
2350 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2351 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2353 - added more tests for this
2355 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2358 * Parameterized Types
2359 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2360 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2361 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2362 They can also be nested:
2363 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2364 And work with the type unions as well:
2365 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2367 * Better Framework Extendability
2368 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2369 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2370 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2371 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2374 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2375 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2376 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2377 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2380 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2382 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2612 so that you can actually document your
2613 attributes and inspect them through the

2617 * Moose::Meta::Class
2618 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

2624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2625 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2626 - added test for this

2634 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2635 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2638 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2640 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2641 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2642 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2645 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2646 !! for this developer release to work !!
2648 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2649 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2650 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2651 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2652 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2653 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2654 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2655 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2656 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2657 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2658 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2660 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2661 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2662 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2663 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2666 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2668 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2669 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2670 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2672 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2674 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2675 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2678 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2679 called unless they actually need to be.
2680 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2681 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2682 DEMOLISH method present.
2684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2686 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2687 type constraint, which allows for a
2688 hand optimized version of the type
2689 constraint to be used when possible.
2690 - Any internally created type constraints
2691 now provide an optimized version as well.
2693 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2695 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2696 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2697 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2700 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2701 your class namespace of these exported
2704 * Moose::Meta::Class
2705 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2706 comes up during global destruction
2708 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2712 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2716 - changed how we do type checks so that
2717 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2720 - moved accessor generation methods to
2721 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2722 conform to the API changes from
2725 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2726 - changed how constraints are compiled
2727 so that we do less recursion and more
2728 iteration. This makes the type check
2730 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2733 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2734 - created this from methods formerly found in
2735 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2737 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2738 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2740 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2741 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2743 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2744 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2746 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2749 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2750 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2751 - added tests for this
2752 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2753 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2754 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2755 - removed tests for this
2757 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2759 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2760 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2761 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2764 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2765 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2766 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2768 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2769 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2770 comments for more info.
2773 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2774 asked questions and common problems
2776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2777 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2778 - added tests for this
2780 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2781 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2782 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2783 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2785 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2786 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2789 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2790 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2791 is much appreciated :)
2792 - added tests for this
2794 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2795 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2796 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2799 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2800 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2802 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2804 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2805 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2809 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2810 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2811 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2813 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2815 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2818 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2819 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2820 keywords because we need to localize them.
2821 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2823 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2824 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2825 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2828 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2831 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2832 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2833 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2836 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2837 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2838 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2840 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2842 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2843 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2844 bottom of your class file.
2847 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2850 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2852 - improved error message when loading modules so
2853 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2854 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2855 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2858 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2859 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2860 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2862 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2863 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2865 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2866 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2867 turn them on for you.
2868 - added tests for this
2869 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2870 in Moose::Meta::Class
2873 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2874 automatically turned on for you.
2875 - added tests for this
2878 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2879 - added tests for this

2896 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2897 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2898 - This release works in combination with
2899 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2900 release because it uses the a new
2901 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2902 complete Role implementation. It has
2903 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2904 the the previous CPAN version. This
2905 release also lacks good updated docs,
2906 the official release will have updated docs.
2909 - refactored the keyword exports
2910 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2911 accepts more than one Role at a time
2912 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2913 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2916 - refactored the keyword exports
2917 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2918 accepts more than one Role at a time
2920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2921 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2922 string enumerations which can be used as
2924 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2927 - more careful checking of params to new()
2930 - much work done on the role composition
2931 - many new tests for conflict detection
2932 and composition edge cases
2933 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2934 looking at the tests
2936 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2937 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2938 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2940 * Moose::Meta::Class
2941 - some small changes to support the new
2943 - some small additions to support Roles
2945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2946 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2948 - some small changes to support the new
2950 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2951 with the 'handles' option
2952 - added several tests for this
2953 - no docs for this yet
2955 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2957 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2958 thanks to chansen for this commit
2959 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2960 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2961 on a per-attribute basis
2962 - added tests for this
2963 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2964 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2965 experimental feature and probably not finished
2966 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2967 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2968 - added tests for this

3030 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3032 - added test for this
3035 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
