1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
9 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
10 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
11 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
13 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
14 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
15 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
19 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
20 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
27 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
28 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
31 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
35 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
36 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
38 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
39 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
43 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
44 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
45 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
46 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
47 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
48 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
50 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
51 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
53 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
54 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
55 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
58 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
59 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
61 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
66 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
67 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
69 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
73 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
74 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
75 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
77 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
81 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
82 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
83 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
85 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
86 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
89 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
90 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
93 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
94 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
95 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
97 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
98 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
103 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
104 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
105 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
106 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
108 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
109 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
111 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
112 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
114 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
115 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
116 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
117 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
119 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
120 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
121 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
124 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
125 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
126 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
127 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
129 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
130 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
133 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
134 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
135 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
137 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
141 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
142 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
143 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
145 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
146 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
147 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
150 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
151 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
152 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
154 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
155 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
156 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
158 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
159 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
163 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
164 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
165 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
167 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
168 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
169 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
170 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
172 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
176 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
177 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
178 value is a reference.
180 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
181 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
183 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
187 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
188 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
189 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
191 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
195 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
196 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
200 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
201 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
202 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
204 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
205 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
206 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
208 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
212 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
214 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
218 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
220 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
221 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
226 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
227 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
229 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
230 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
231 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
232 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
233 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
235 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
236 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
237 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
238 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
240 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
244 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
245 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
250 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
252 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
254 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
259 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
261 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
265 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
266 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
267 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
269 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
270 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
271 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
272 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
274 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
275 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
276 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
277 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
278 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
281 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
286 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
287 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
288 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
289 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
290 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
293 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
297 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
300 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
301 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
305 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
306 function (not just method). (doy)
310 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
311 and aren't easily installable/testable.
313 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
317 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
318 to be overridden more easily (doy).
320 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
324 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
325 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
327 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
331 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
332 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
333 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
335 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
339 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
340 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
341 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
343 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
344 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
348 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
349 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
351 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
352 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
356 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
357 is applied to a class (t0m).
359 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
360 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
362 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
365 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
366 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
368 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
369 be much more robust. (doy)
371 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
373 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
376 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
380 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
381 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
383 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
387 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
388 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
390 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
393 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
394 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
395 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
397 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
398 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
399 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
402 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
404 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
408 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
409 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
413 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
415 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
420 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
424 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
425 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
429 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
431 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
435 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
436 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
440 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
441 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
445 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
446 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
448 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
452 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
453 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
454 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
457 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
461 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
462 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
463 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
464 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
466 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
470 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
471 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
472 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
476 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
479 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
484 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
485 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
489 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
490 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
492 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
493 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
494 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
495 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
497 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
501 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
505 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
506 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
508 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
509 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
510 - Moose::Util::does_role
511 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
512 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
513 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
515 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
519 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
520 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
521 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
524 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
528 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
529 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
532 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
536 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
537 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
540 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
544 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
546 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
547 class. (Dave Rolsky).
549 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
550 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
551 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
553 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
554 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
555 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
558 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
559 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
561 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
562 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
563 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
565 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
567 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
568 substr et al, again. (sorear)
570 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
572 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
575 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
576 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
578 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
579 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
581 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
582 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
583 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
584 dependencies installed.
586 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
587 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
590 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
592 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
596 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
599 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
600 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
603 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
604 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
606 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
607 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
610 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
611 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
612 others. (nothingmuch)
614 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
615 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
616 remove_accessors. (doy)
618 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
619 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
620 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
622 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
623 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
625 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
626 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
627 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
628 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
631 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
632 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
635 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
637 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
639 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
640 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
644 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
645 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
646 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
647 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
649 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
650 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
651 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
652 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
653 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
654 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
655 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
658 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
659 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
660 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
661 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
662 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
664 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
665 which were not receiving the value of
666 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
667 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
668 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
669 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
673 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
674 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
675 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
676 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
677 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
681 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
682 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
683 - added tests for this (Stevan)
686 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
687 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
688 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
691 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
693 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
695 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
696 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
697 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
700 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
701 class if you pass it options for
702 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
703 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
704 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
705 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
706 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
707 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
708 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
709 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
710 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
712 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
713 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
714 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
715 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
716 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
719 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
721 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
722 existing delegation API. (hdp)
724 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
725 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
726 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
727 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
728 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
729 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
732 * Moose::Error::Croak
733 * Moose::Error::Confess
734 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
735 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
738 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
741 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
742 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
743 installing a broken sub. (doy)
746 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
749 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
750 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
751 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
753 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
754 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
755 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
756 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
757 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
760 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
763 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
765 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
766 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
769 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
770 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
772 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
774 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
775 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
777 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
778 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
779 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
780 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
781 using it for new code!
783 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
784 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
785 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
786 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
788 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
789 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
790 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
791 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
792 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
793 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
794 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
795 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
798 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
801 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
802 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
805 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
806 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
809 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
810 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
814 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
815 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
818 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
819 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
822 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
823 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
826 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
827 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
828 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
829 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
830 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
831 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
833 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
835 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
839 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
840 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
842 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
843 associated_methods. (hdp)
844 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
845 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
846 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
847 misspelled) arguments
849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
850 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
851 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
852 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
855 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
856 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
858 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
862 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
863 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
866 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
867 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
869 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
871 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
872 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
874 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
875 * Moose::Manual::Types
876 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
877 string parsing rathole (mst)
879 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
880 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
881 using plain objects instead
883 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
884 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
887 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
889 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
890 three times today (perigrin)
891 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
892 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
894 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
895 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
896 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
897 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
900 - A role's required methods are now represented by
901 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
902 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
903 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
904 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
905 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
908 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
909 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
910 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
911 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
914 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
916 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
919 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
921 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
924 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
925 during global destruction. This method has been made more
926 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
930 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
931 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
934 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
935 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
937 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
938 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
939 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
942 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
944 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
945 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
948 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
952 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
953 methods during global destruction (doy)
956 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
957 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
961 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
962 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
965 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
966 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
969 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
970 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
972 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
974 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
978 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
979 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
980 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
983 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
984 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
985 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
988 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
990 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
992 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
995 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
996 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
997 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
998 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1000 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1001 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1002 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1005 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1008 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1009 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1010 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1014 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1015 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1017 * Moose::Meta::Class
1018 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1020 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1022 * Moose::Meta::Class
1023 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1024 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1027 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1028 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1031 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1032 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1035 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1038 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1040 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1041 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1044 * Moose::Meta::Class
1045 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1047 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1048 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1051 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1052 * More deprecations and renamings
1053 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1054 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1055 when an object is constructed)
1058 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1059 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1060 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1063 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1064 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1065 feature, and it works again.
1068 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1070 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1072 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1073 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1074 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1076 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1077 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1078 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1079 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1080 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1082 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1083 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1084 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1085 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1086 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1089 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1090 metaclass object. (hdp)
1092 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1093 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1094 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1095 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1096 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1097 point out this fact. (hdp)
1099 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1100 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1102 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1103 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1105 * Moose::Meta::Class
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1107 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1108 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1109 called during instance construction were passed the
1110 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1111 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1113 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1114 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1117 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1118 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1119 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1122 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1123 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1124 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1125 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1126 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1128 - Moose::Meta::Class
1129 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1131 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1132 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1133 when an object is constructed)
1134 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1136 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1137 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1138 when an object is constructed)
1139 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1140 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1141 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1144 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1146 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1147 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1149 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1151 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1152 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1153 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1156 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1157 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1159 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1161 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1162 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1164 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1165 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1168 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1169 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1172 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1173 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1174 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1177 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1181 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1182 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1183 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1185 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1186 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1189 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1190 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1191 with recommended workarounds.
1193 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1194 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1197 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1198 (yes, spelled like that).
1200 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1201 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1203 * Moose::Meta::Class
1204 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1205 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1207 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1209 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1210 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1211 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1212 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1213 instead. Reported by doy.
1215 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1217 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1218 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1220 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1221 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1222 message) is now deprecated.
1223 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1224 often got it wrong. For example:
1226 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1228 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1232 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1233 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1234 bite you in weird cases.
1236 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1237 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1238 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1239 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1241 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1242 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1246 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1249 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1250 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1253 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1254 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1256 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1257 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1260 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1261 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1262 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1263 - added tests for this (stevan)
1265 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1266 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1267 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1268 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1272 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1273 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1274 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1275 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1277 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1278 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1279 - added tests for this (rafl)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1282 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1283 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1284 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1288 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1289 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1292 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1293 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1294 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1298 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1299 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1301 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1302 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1303 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1304 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1305 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1308 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1309 error message did not specify the attribute name
1312 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1314 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1316 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1317 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1318 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1320 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1321 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1324 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1326 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1327 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1328 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1329 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1331 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1333 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1334 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1335 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1336 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1339 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1340 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1342 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1343 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1344 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1345 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1346 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1349 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1350 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1351 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1352 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1355 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1356 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1357 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1358 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1359 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1361 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1362 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1363 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1364 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1365 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1366 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1369 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1371 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1372 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1373 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1374 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1377 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1380 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1384 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1385 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1387 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1388 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1389 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1390 guts. (nothingmuch).
1392 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1393 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1394 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1397 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1398 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1399 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1401 * Moose::Meta::Class
1402 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1405 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1406 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1408 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1409 * Moose::Unsweetened
1410 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1413 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1414 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1415 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1416 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1417 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1418 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1421 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1422 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1423 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1424 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1425 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1426 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1427 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1428 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1429 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1431 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1433 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1434 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1437 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1438 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1439 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1441 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1442 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1443 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1444 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1445 same methods for a single role did not work
1446 right (worked just fine with multiple
1448 - added test for this (stevan)
1450 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1451 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1452 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1455 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1456 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1457 - added test for this (t0m)
1460 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1461 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1462 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1465 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1466 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1467 - added test for this (t0m)
1469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1470 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1471 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1472 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1473 - added test for this (perigrin)
1476 - create method for constructing a role
1477 dynamically (Sartak)
1478 - added test for this (Sartak)
1479 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1480 - added test for this (Sartak)
1483 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1485 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1486 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1487 methods is useful (Sartak)
1489 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1490 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1491 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1494 * Moose::Meta::Class
1495 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1496 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1497 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1498 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1499 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1500 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1503 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1504 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1506 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1507 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1508 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1509 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1510 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1512 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1514 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1515 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1516 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1519 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1520 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1521 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1522 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1523 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1524 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1528 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1529 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1530 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1531 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1532 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1533 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1534 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1535 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1536 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1537 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1540 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1543 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1544 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1545 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1546 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1547 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1549 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1551 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1552 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1553 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1555 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1556 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1558 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1559 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1560 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1561 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1564 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1565 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1567 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1569 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1570 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1572 * Moose::Meta::Class
1573 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1574 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1575 a required attribute
1577 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1579 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1580 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1582 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1583 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1586 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1587 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1588 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1589 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1590 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1591 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1592 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1594 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1595 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1596 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1598 * Roles and role application
1599 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1600 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1601 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1602 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1603 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1605 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1606 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1609 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1610 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1611 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1612 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1613 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1616 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1617 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1618 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1619 changes in the Moose internals.
1621 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1622 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1623 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1626 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1627 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1628 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1629 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1631 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1632 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1633 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1634 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1636 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1637 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1638 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1639 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1640 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1641 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1642 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1643 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1644 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1645 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1646 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1647 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1648 constraint implementations.
1650 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1654 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1655 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1656 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1657 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1658 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1659 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1660 - added tests for this (rafl)
1662 * Moose::Meta::Class
1663 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1664 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1665 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1666 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1667 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1668 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1669 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1670 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1673 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1674 - added tests for this (thepler)
1676 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1677 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1678 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1679 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1682 * Moose::Meta::Class
1683 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1684 * Moose::Meta::Method
1687 * Moose::Error::Default
1688 * Moose::Error::Croak
1689 * Moose::Error::Confess
1690 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1691 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1692 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1693 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1694 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1695 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1697 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1699 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1700 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1702 * Moose::Unsweetened
1703 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1704 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1705 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1707 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1708 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1709 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1710 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1711 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1714 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1715 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1717 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1718 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1719 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1720 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1723 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1725 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1726 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1728 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1731 - Various bug fixes.
1733 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1734 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1736 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1738 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1739 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1740 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1741 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1742 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1743 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1746 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1747 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1749 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1750 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1751 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1754 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1755 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1756 dependency to 0.64_07.
1758 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1759 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1760 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1763 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1766 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1767 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1768 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1769 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1770 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1771 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1774 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1776 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1778 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1779 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1783 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1784 method when that method was provided by another role being
1785 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1786 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1788 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1790 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1791 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1793 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1794 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1795 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1796 - added test for this (t0m)
1798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1799 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1800 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1802 - added test for this (t0m)
1805 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1806 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1807 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1810 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1811 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1813 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1815 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1816 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1818 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1819 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1820 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1823 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1826 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1828 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1829 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1833 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1834 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1835 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1838 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1839 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1840 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1841 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1844 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1848 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1849 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1850 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1852 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1854 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1855 created so that the process can be more easily
1856 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1858 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1859 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1860 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1861 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1864 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1867 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1868 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1870 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1871 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1872 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1874 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1875 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1876 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1878 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1879 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1881 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1882 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1885 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1886 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1890 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1891 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1893 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1894 ... this is not my day today ...
1896 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1897 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1898 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1899 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1900 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1903 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1904 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1905 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1906 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1907 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1910 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1912 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1913 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1914 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1915 this is not ever something you want to do
1916 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1917 - added tests for this (stevan)
1920 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1922 - added test for this
1924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1925 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1926 - added tests for this (wreis)
1928 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1929 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1930 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1931 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1933 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1934 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1935 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1938 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1940 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1942 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1945 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1946 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1947 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1948 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1949 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1950 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1951 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1952 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1953 - added tests for this
1955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1956 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1957 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1958 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1960 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1963 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1964 - added tests for this (sartak)
1965 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1966 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1969 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1971 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1972 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1975 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1976 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1977 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1979 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1981 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1982 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1985 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1986 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1987 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1989 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1990 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1991 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1993 - added docs for this (TODO).
1994 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1995 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1996 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1997 - fix builder and default both being used
2002 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2004 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2005 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2006 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2010 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2014 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2015 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2016 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2019 - move the ClassName type check code to
2020 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2022 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2023 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2025 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2026 (early morning release engineering)--
2028 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2029 which was causing the indexer to choke
2031 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2032 (late night release engineering)--
2034 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2035 changes in this release
2037 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2038 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2039 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2041 * Moose::Meta::Class
2042 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2043 since it is called so often by &meta
2045 * Moose::Meta::Class
2047 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2048 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2051 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

2065 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2066 XS based functionality is now optional
2067 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2068 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2069 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2143 ->body when looping through the
2144 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2146 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2147 eating the $@ values, and so not
2148 working correctly, it still kind of
2149 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2150 - added tests for this

2172 drink more coffee before
2173 doing release engineering
2175 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2290 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2292 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2630 when they encounter overriden or modified
2631 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2632 - added tests for this
2634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2635 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2636 the | always creates a union and so is

2638 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2640 - added more tests for this
2642 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2645 * Parameterized Types
2646 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2647 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2648 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2649 They can also be nested:
2650 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2651 And work with the type unions as well:
2652 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2654 * Better Framework Extendability
2655 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2656 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2657 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2658 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2661 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2662 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2663 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2664 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2667 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2669 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2708 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2709 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2710 - updated the accompanying test as well

2841 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2842 - added tests for this
2844 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2846 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2898 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2899 so that you can actually document your
2900 attributes and inspect them through the

2904 * Moose::Meta::Class
2905 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses

2907 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2908 then default to just loading $name.
2909 - added tests and docs for this
2911 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2912 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2913 - added test for this
2916 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2917 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2918 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2919 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2921 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2922 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2925 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2927 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2928 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2929 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2932 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2933 !! for this developer release to work !!
2935 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2936 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2937 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2938 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2939 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2940 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2941 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2942 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2943 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2944 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2945 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2947 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2948 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2949 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2950 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2953 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2955 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2956 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2957 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2959 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2961 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2962 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2965 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2966 called unless they actually need to be.
2967 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2968 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2969 DEMOLISH method present.
2971 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2972 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2973 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2974 type constraint, which allows for a
2975 hand optimized version of the type
2976 constraint to be used when possible.
2977 - Any internally created type constraints
2978 now provide an optimized version as well.
2980 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2982 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2983 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2984 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2986 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2987 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2988 your class namespace of these exported
2991 * Moose::Meta::Class
2992 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2993 comes up during global destruction
2995 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2999 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3003 - changed how we do type checks so that
3004 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3007 - moved accessor generation methods to
3008 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3009 conform to the API changes from
3012 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3013 - changed how constraints are compiled
3014 so that we do less recursion and more
3015 iteration. This makes the type check
3017 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3021 - created this from methods formerly found in
3022 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3036 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3037 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3038 - added tests for this
3039 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3040 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3041 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3042 - removed tests for this
3044 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3046 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3047 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3048 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3051 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3052 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3053 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3055 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3056 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3057 comments for more info.
3060 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3061 asked questions and common problems
3063 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3064 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3065 - added tests for this
3067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3068 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3069 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3070 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3072 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3073 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3076 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3077 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3078 is much appreciated :)
3079 - added tests for this
3081 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3082 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3083 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3086 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3087 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3089 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3091 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3092 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3096 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3097 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3098 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3100 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3102 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3105 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive

3107 keywords because we need to localize them.
3108 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3110 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3111 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3112 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3115 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3118 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3119 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3120 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3123 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3124 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3125 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3127 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3129 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3130 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3131 bottom of your class file.
3134 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3137 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3139 - improved error message when loading modules so
3140 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3141 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3142 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3145 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3146 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3147 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3150 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3152 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3153 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3154 turn them on for you.
3155 - added tests for this

3184 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3185 - This release works in combination with
3186 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3187 release because it uses the a new
3188 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3189 complete Role implementation. It has
3190 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3191 the the previous CPAN version. This
3192 release also lacks good updated docs,
3193 the official release will have updated docs.
3196 - refactored the keyword exports
3197 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3198 accepts more than one Role at a time

3217 - much work done on the role composition
3218 - many new tests for conflict detection
3219 and composition edge cases
3220 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3221 looking at the tests

3246 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3247 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3248 on a per-attribute basis
3249 - added tests for this
