1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
10 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
12 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
14 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
18 * Fix some indexing issues.
20 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
22 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
26 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
27 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
28 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
29 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
30 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
32 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
33 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
38 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
39 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
40 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
41 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
43 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
44 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
45 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
49 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
50 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
52 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
56 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
57 policy. (Chris Prather)
59 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
60 on this new support policy. (doy)
64 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
65 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
66 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
68 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
69 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
71 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
75 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
76 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
77 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
78 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
85 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
86 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
89 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
93 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
94 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
96 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
97 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
101 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
102 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
103 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
104 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
105 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
106 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
108 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
109 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
111 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
112 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
113 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
114 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
116 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
117 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
119 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
124 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
125 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
127 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
131 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
132 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
133 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
135 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
139 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
140 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
141 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
143 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
144 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
147 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
148 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
151 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
152 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
153 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
155 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
156 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
161 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
162 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
163 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
164 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
167 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
169 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
170 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
172 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
173 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
174 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
175 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
177 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
178 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
179 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
182 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
183 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
184 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
185 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
187 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
188 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
191 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
192 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
193 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
195 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
199 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
200 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
201 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
203 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
204 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
205 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
208 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
209 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
210 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
212 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
213 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
214 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
216 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
217 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
221 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
222 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
223 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
225 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
226 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
227 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
228 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
230 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
234 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
235 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
236 value is a reference.
238 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
239 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
241 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
245 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
246 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
247 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
249 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
253 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
254 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
258 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
259 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
260 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
262 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
263 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
264 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
266 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
270 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
272 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
276 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
278 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
279 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
284 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
285 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
287 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
288 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
289 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
290 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
291 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
293 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
294 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
295 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
296 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
298 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
302 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
303 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
308 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
310 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
312 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
317 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
319 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
323 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
324 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
325 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
327 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
328 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
329 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
330 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
332 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
333 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
334 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
335 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
336 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
339 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
344 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
345 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
346 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
347 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
348 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
351 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
355 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
358 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
359 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
363 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
364 function (not just method). (doy)
368 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
369 and aren't easily installable/testable.
371 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
375 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
376 to be overridden more easily (doy).
378 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
382 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
383 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
385 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
389 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
390 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
391 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
393 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
397 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
398 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
399 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
401 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
402 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
406 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
407 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
409 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
410 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
414 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
415 is applied to a class (t0m).
417 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
418 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
420 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
423 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
424 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
426 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
427 be much more robust. (doy)
429 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
431 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
434 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
438 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
439 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
441 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
445 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
446 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
448 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
451 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
452 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
453 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
455 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
456 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
457 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
460 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
462 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
466 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
467 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
471 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
473 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
477 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
478 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
482 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
483 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
487 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
489 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
493 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
494 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
498 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
499 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
503 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
504 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
506 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
510 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
511 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
512 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
515 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
519 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
520 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
521 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
522 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
524 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
528 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
529 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
530 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
534 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
537 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
542 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
543 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
547 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
548 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
550 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
551 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
552 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
553 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
555 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
559 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
563 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
564 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
566 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
567 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
568 - Moose::Util::does_role
569 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
570 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
571 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
573 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
577 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
578 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
579 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
582 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
586 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
587 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
590 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
594 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
595 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
598 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
602 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
604 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
605 class. (Dave Rolsky).
607 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
608 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
609 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
611 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
612 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
613 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
616 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
617 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
619 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
620 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
621 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
623 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
625 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
626 substr et al, again. (sorear)
628 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
630 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
633 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
634 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
636 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
637 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
639 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
640 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
641 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
642 dependencies installed.
644 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
645 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
648 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
650 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
654 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
656 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
657 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
658 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
660 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
661 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
662 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
664 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
665 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
668 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
669 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
670 others. (nothingmuch)
672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
673 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
674 remove_accessors. (doy)
676 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
677 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
678 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
681 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
683 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
684 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
685 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
686 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
689 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
690 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
693 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
695 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
697 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
698 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
701 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
702 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
703 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
704 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
705 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
707 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
708 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
710 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
711 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
712 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
713 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
716 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
717 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
718 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
719 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
720 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
722 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
723 which were not receiving the value of
724 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
725 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
726 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
727 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
731 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
732 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
733 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
734 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
735 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
738 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
739 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
740 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
741 - added tests for this (Stevan)
744 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
745 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
746 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
749 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
751 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
754 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
755 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
758 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
759 class if you pass it options for
760 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
761 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
762 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
763 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
764 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
765 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
766 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
767 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
768 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
770 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
771 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
772 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
773 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
774 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
777 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
778 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
779 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
780 existing delegation API. (hdp)
782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
783 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
784 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
785 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
786 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
787 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
790 * Moose::Error::Croak
791 * Moose::Error::Confess
792 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
793 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
796 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
799 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
800 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
801 installing a broken sub. (doy)
804 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
807 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
808 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
809 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
811 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
812 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
813 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
814 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
815 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
817 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
818 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
821 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
823 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
824 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
827 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
828 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
832 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
833 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
835 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
836 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
837 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
838 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
839 using it for new code!
841 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
842 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
843 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
844 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
846 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
847 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
848 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
849 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
850 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
851 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
852 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
853 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
856 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
859 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
860 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
863 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
864 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
866 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
867 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
868 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
871 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
872 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
873 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
876 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
877 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
879 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
880 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
881 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
884 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
886 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
887 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
888 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
889 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
891 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
893 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
896 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
897 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
898 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
900 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
901 associated_methods. (hdp)
902 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
903 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
904 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
905 misspelled) arguments
907 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
908 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
909 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
910 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
913 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
914 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
916 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
919 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
920 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
921 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
924 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
925 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
927 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
929 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
930 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
932 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
933 * Moose::Manual::Types
934 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
935 string parsing rathole (mst)
937 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
938 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
939 using plain objects instead
941 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
942 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
945 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
947 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
948 three times today (perigrin)
949 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
950 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
952 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
953 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
954 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
955 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
958 - A role's required methods are now represented by
959 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
960 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
961 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
962 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
963 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
966 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
967 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
968 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
969 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
972 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
974 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
977 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
979 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
982 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
983 during global destruction. This method has been made more
984 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
988 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
989 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
992 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
993 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
995 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
996 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
997 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1000 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1002 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1003 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1006 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1010 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1011 methods during global destruction (doy)
1013 * Moose::Meta::Class
1014 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1015 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1016 consumption (Sartak)
1018 * Moose::Meta::Class
1019 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1020 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1023 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1024 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1027 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1028 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1030 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1032 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1036 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1037 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1038 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1041 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1042 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1043 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1046 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1048 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1049 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1050 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1053 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1054 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1055 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1056 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1058 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1059 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1060 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1063 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1066 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1067 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1068 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1072 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1073 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1075 * Moose::Meta::Class
1076 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1078 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1080 * Moose::Meta::Class
1081 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1082 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1085 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1086 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1089 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1090 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1093 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1096 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1098 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1099 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1102 * Moose::Meta::Class
1103 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1105 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1106 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1109 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1110 * More deprecations and renamings
1111 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1112 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1113 when an object is constructed)
1116 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1117 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1118 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1120 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1121 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1122 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1123 feature, and it works again.
1126 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1128 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1130 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1131 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1132 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1135 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1136 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1137 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1138 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1141 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1142 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1143 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1144 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1147 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1148 metaclass object. (hdp)
1150 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1151 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1152 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1153 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1154 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1155 point out this fact. (hdp)
1157 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1158 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1160 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1161 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1163 * Moose::Meta::Class
1164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1165 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1166 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1167 called during instance construction were passed the
1168 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1169 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1171 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1172 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1175 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1176 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1177 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1180 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1181 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1182 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1183 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1184 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1186 - Moose::Meta::Class
1187 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1189 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1190 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1191 when an object is constructed)
1192 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1194 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1195 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1196 when an object is constructed)
1197 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1198 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1199 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1202 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1204 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1205 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1207 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1209 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1210 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1211 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1214 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1215 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1217 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1219 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1220 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1222 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1223 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1226 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1227 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1230 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1231 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1232 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1235 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1239 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1240 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1241 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1244 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1247 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1248 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1249 with recommended workarounds.
1251 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1252 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1255 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1256 (yes, spelled like that).
1258 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1259 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1261 * Moose::Meta::Class
1262 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1263 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1265 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1268 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1269 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1270 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1271 instead. Reported by doy.
1273 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1275 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1276 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1278 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1279 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1280 message) is now deprecated.
1281 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1282 often got it wrong. For example:
1284 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1286 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1290 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1291 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1292 bite you in weird cases.
1294 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1295 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1296 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1297 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1299 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1300 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1304 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1307 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1308 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1311 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1312 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1314 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1315 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1318 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1319 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1320 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1321 - added tests for this (stevan)
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1324 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1325 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1326 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1330 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1331 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1332 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1333 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1335 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1336 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1337 - added tests for this (rafl)
1339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1340 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1341 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1342 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1346 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1347 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1351 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1352 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1356 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1357 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1359 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1360 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1361 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1362 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1363 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1366 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1367 error message did not specify the attribute name
1370 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1372 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1374 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1375 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1376 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1379 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1382 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1384 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1385 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1386 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1387 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1389 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1391 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1392 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1393 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1394 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1397 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1398 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1401 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1402 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1403 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1404 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1406 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1407 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1408 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1409 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1410 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1413 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1414 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1415 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1416 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1417 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1419 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1420 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1421 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1422 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1423 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1424 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1427 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1429 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1430 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1431 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1432 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1434 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1435 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1438 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1442 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1443 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1445 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1446 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1447 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1448 guts. (nothingmuch).
1450 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1452 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1454 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1455 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1456 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1457 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1459 * Moose::Meta::Class
1460 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1463 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1464 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1466 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1467 * Moose::Unsweetened
1468 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1471 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1472 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1473 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1474 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1475 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1476 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1479 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1480 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1481 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1482 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1483 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1484 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1485 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1486 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1487 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1489 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1491 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1492 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1495 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1496 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1497 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1499 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1500 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1501 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1502 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1503 same methods for a single role did not work
1504 right (worked just fine with multiple
1506 - added test for this (stevan)
1508 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1509 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1510 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1513 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1514 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1515 - added test for this (t0m)
1518 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1519 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1520 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1523 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1524 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1525 - added test for this (t0m)
1527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1528 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1529 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1530 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1531 - added test for this (perigrin)
1534 - create method for constructing a role
1535 dynamically (Sartak)
1536 - added test for this (Sartak)
1537 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1538 - added test for this (Sartak)
1541 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1543 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1544 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1545 methods is useful (Sartak)
1547 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1549 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1552 * Moose::Meta::Class
1553 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1554 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1555 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1556 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1557 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1558 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1561 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1562 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1564 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1565 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1566 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1567 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1568 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1570 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1572 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1573 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1574 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1577 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1578 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1579 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1580 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1581 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1582 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1586 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1587 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1588 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1589 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1590 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1591 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1592 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1593 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1594 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1595 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1597 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1598 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1602 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1603 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1604 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1605 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1607 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1609 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1610 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1611 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1614 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1617 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1618 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1619 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1622 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1623 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1625 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1627 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1628 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1630 * Moose::Meta::Class
1631 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1632 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1633 a required attribute
1635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1637 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1638 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1641 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1643 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1644 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1645 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1646 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1647 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1648 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1649 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1650 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1652 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1653 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1654 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1656 * Roles and role application
1657 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1658 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1659 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1660 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1661 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1663 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1664 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1667 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1668 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1669 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1670 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1671 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1674 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1675 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1676 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1677 changes in the Moose internals.
1679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1681 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1684 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1685 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1686 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1687 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1689 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1690 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1691 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1692 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1695 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1696 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1697 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1698 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1699 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1700 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1701 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1702 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1703 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1704 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1705 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1706 constraint implementations.
1708 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1712 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1713 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1714 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1715 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1716 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1717 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1718 - added tests for this (rafl)
1720 * Moose::Meta::Class
1721 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1722 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1723 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1724 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1725 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1726 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1727 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1728 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1731 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1732 - added tests for this (thepler)
1734 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1735 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1736 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1737 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1740 * Moose::Meta::Class
1741 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1742 * Moose::Meta::Method
1745 * Moose::Error::Default
1746 * Moose::Error::Croak
1747 * Moose::Error::Confess
1748 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1749 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1750 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1751 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1752 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1753 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1755 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1757 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1758 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1760 * Moose::Unsweetened
1761 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1762 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1763 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1766 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1767 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1768 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1769 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1772 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1773 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1775 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1776 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1777 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1778 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1781 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1783 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1784 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1786 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1789 - Various bug fixes.
1791 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1792 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1794 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1796 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1797 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1798 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1799 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1800 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1801 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1804 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1805 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1807 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1808 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1809 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1812 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1813 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1814 dependency to 0.64_07.
1816 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1817 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1818 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1821 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1825 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1826 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1827 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1828 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1829 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1831 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1832 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1834 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1836 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1837 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1841 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1842 method when that method was provided by another role being
1843 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1844 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1846 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1848 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1849 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1851 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1852 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1853 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1854 - added test for this (t0m)
1856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1857 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1858 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1860 - added test for this (t0m)
1863 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1864 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1865 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1869 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1871 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1873 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1874 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1876 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1877 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1878 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1880 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1881 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1885 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1886 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1887 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1891 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1892 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1893 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1897 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1898 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1899 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1902 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1906 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1907 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1908 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1910 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1912 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1913 created so that the process can be more easily
1914 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1916 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1917 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1918 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1919 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1922 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1925 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1926 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1928 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1929 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1930 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1932 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1933 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1934 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1936 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1937 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1939 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1940 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1943 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1944 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1948 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1949 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1951 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1952 ... this is not my day today ...
1954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1955 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1956 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1957 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1958 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1961 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1962 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1963 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1964 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1965 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1968 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1970 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1971 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1972 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1973 this is not ever something you want to do
1974 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1975 - added tests for this (stevan)
1978 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1980 - added test for this
1982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1983 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1984 - added tests for this (wreis)
1986 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1987 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1988 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1989 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1991 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1992 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1993 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1996 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1998 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2000 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2003 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2004 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2005 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2006 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2007 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2008 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2009 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2010 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2011 - added tests for this
2013 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2014 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2015 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2016 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2018 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2021 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2022 - added tests for this (sartak)
2023 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2024 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2027 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2029 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2030 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2034 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2035 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2037 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2039 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2040 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2043 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2201 ->body when looping through the
2202 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2204 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2205 eating the $@ values, and so not
2206 working correctly, it still kind of
2207 eats them, but so does vanilla perl

2348 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2350 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2684 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2687 - fixed how required methods are handled
2688 when they encounter overriden or modified
2689 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2690 - added tests for this
2692 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2693 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2694 the | always creates a union and so is
2695 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2696 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2698 - added more tests for this
2700 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2703 * Parameterized Types
2704 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2705 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2706 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2707 They can also be nested:
2708 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2709 And work with the type unions as well:
2710 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2712 * Better Framework Extendability
2713 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2714 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2715 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2716 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2719 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2720 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2721 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2722 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2725 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2727 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2881 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2882 prototypes for functions
2883 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2884 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2894 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2897 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2898 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2899 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2900 - added tests for this
2902 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2904 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2926 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2928 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007

2930 so this release is just to fix that.
2933 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2934 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2935 (thanks to konobi for this)

2947 functions to facilitate introspection.
2949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2950 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2951 to build the list of delegated methods
2952 correctly (and not override important
2953 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2955 - added tests and docs for this
2956 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2957 so that you can actually document your
2958 attributes and inspect them through the
2960 - added tests and docs for this
2962 * Moose::Meta::Class
2963 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2964 it will first look in for the class in the
2965 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2966 then default to just loading $name.
2967 - added tests and docs for this
2969 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2970 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2971 - added test for this
2974 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2975 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2976 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2977 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2979 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2980 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2983 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2985 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2986 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2987 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2990 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2991 !! for this developer release to work !!
2993 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2994 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2995 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2996 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2997 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2998 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2999 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3000 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3001 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3002 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3003 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3005 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3006 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3007 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3008 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3011 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3012 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3013 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3014 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3015 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3017 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3019 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3020 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3023 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3024 called unless they actually need to be.
3025 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3026 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3027 DEMOLISH method present.
3029 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3030 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3031 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3032 type constraint, which allows for a
3033 hand optimized version of the type
3034 constraint to be used when possible.
3035 - Any internally created type constraints
3036 now provide an optimized version as well.
3038 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3040 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3041 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3042 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3045 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3046 your class namespace of these exported
3049 * Moose::Meta::Class
3050 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3051 comes up during global destruction
3053 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3057 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3061 - changed how we do type checks so that
3062 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3065 - moved accessor generation methods to
3066 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3067 conform to the API changes from
3070 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3071 - changed how constraints are compiled
3072 so that we do less recursion and more
3073 iteration. This makes the type check
3075 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3078 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3079 - created this from methods formerly found in
3080 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3082 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3083 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3085 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3086 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3088 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3089 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3091 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3093 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3094 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3095 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3096 - added tests for this
3097 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3098 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3099 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3100 - removed tests for this
3102 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3104 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3105 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3106 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3109 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3110 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3111 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3113 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3114 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3115 comments for more info.
3118 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3119 asked questions and common problems
3121 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3122 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3123 - added tests for this
3125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3126 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3127 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3128 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3130 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3131 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3134 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3135 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3136 is much appreciated :)
3137 - added tests for this
3139 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3140 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3141 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3145 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3147 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3149 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3150 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3154 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3155 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3156 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3158 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3160 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3163 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3164 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3165 keywords because we need to localize them.
3166 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3168 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3169 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3170 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3173 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3177 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3178 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3181 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3182 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3183 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3185 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3187 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3188 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3189 bottom of your class file.
3192 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3195 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3197 - improved error message when loading modules so
3198 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3199 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3200 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3203 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3204 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3205 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3208 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3210 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3211 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3212 turn them on for you.
3213 - added tests for this

3242 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3243 - This release works in combination with
3244 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3245 release because it uses the a new
3246 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3247 complete Role implementation. It has
3248 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3249 the the previous CPAN version. This
3250 release also lacks good updated docs,
3251 the official release will have updated docs.
3254 - refactored the keyword exports
3255 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3256 accepts more than one Role at a time

3267 string enumerations which can be used as
3269 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3272 - more careful checking of params to new()
3275 - much work done on the role composition
3276 - many new tests for conflict detection
3277 and composition edge cases
3278 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3279 looking at the tests

3304 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3305 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3306 on a per-attribute basis
3307 - added tests for this
3308 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3309 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an

3312 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3313 - added tests for this
