1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
9 policy. (Chris Prather)
11 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
12 on this new support policy. (doy)
16 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
17 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
18 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
20 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed all the docs. Now it's
21 listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
23 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
27 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
28 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
29 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
30 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
37 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
38 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
41 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
45 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
46 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
48 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
49 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
53 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
54 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
55 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
56 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
57 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
58 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
60 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
61 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
63 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
64 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
65 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
68 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
69 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
76 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
77 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
79 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
83 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
84 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
85 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
87 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
91 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
92 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
93 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
95 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
96 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
99 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
100 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
103 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
104 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
105 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
107 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
108 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
113 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
114 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
115 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
116 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
118 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
119 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
121 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
122 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
124 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
125 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
126 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
127 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
129 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
130 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
131 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
134 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
135 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
136 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
137 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
139 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
140 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
143 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
144 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
145 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
147 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
151 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
152 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
153 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
155 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
156 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
157 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
160 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
161 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
162 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
164 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
165 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
166 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
168 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
169 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
173 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
174 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
175 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
177 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
178 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
179 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
180 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
182 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
186 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
187 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
188 value is a reference.
190 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
191 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
193 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
197 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
198 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
199 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
201 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
205 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
206 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
210 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
211 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
212 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
214 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
215 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
216 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
218 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
222 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
224 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
228 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
230 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
231 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
236 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
237 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
239 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
240 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
241 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
242 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
243 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
245 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
246 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
247 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
248 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
250 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
254 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
255 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
260 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
262 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
264 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
269 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
271 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
275 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
276 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
277 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
279 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
280 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
281 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
282 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
284 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
285 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
286 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
287 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
288 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
291 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
296 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
297 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
298 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
299 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
300 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
303 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
307 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
310 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
311 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
315 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
316 function (not just method). (doy)
320 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
321 and aren't easily installable/testable.
323 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
327 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
328 to be overridden more easily (doy).
330 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
334 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
335 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
337 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
341 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
342 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
343 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
345 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
349 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
350 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
351 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
353 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
354 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
358 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
359 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
361 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
362 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
366 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
367 is applied to a class (t0m).
369 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
370 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
372 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
375 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
376 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
378 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
379 be much more robust. (doy)
381 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
383 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
386 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
390 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
391 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
393 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
397 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
398 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
400 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
403 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
404 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
405 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
407 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
408 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
409 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
412 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
414 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
418 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
419 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
423 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
425 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
430 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
434 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
435 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
439 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
441 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
445 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
446 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
450 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
451 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
455 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
456 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
458 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
462 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
463 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
464 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
467 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
471 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
472 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
473 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
474 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
476 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
480 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
481 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
482 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
486 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
489 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
493 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
494 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
495 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
499 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
500 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
502 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
503 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
504 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
505 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
507 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
511 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
515 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
516 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
518 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
519 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
520 - Moose::Util::does_role
521 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
522 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
523 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
525 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
529 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
530 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
531 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
534 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
538 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
539 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
542 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
546 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
547 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
550 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
554 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
556 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
557 class. (Dave Rolsky).
559 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
560 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
561 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
563 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
564 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
565 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
568 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
569 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
571 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
572 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
573 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
575 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
577 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
578 substr et al, again. (sorear)
580 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
582 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
585 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
586 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
588 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
589 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
591 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
592 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
593 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
594 dependencies installed.
596 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
597 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
600 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
602 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
606 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
608 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
609 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
610 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
613 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
614 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
616 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
617 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
620 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
621 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
622 others. (nothingmuch)
624 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
625 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
626 remove_accessors. (doy)
628 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
629 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
630 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
632 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
633 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
635 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
636 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
637 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
638 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
641 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
642 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
644 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
645 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
647 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
649 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
650 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
654 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
655 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
656 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
657 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
659 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
662 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
663 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
664 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
665 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
668 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
669 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
670 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
671 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
672 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
674 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
675 which were not receiving the value of
676 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
677 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
678 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
679 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
683 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
684 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
685 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
686 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
687 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
691 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
692 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
693 - added tests for this (Stevan)
696 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
697 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
698 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
701 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
702 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
703 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
705 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
706 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
707 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
710 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
711 class if you pass it options for
712 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
713 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
714 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
715 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
716 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
717 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
718 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
719 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
720 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
722 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
723 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
724 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
725 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
726 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
729 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
731 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
732 existing delegation API. (hdp)
734 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
735 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
736 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
737 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
738 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
739 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
742 * Moose::Error::Croak
743 * Moose::Error::Confess
744 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
745 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
748 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
751 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
752 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
753 installing a broken sub. (doy)
756 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
759 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
760 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
761 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
763 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
764 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
765 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
766 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
767 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
770 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
773 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
775 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
776 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
779 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
780 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
784 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
785 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
787 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
788 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
789 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
790 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
791 using it for new code!
793 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
794 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
795 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
796 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
798 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
799 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
800 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
801 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
802 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
803 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
804 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
805 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
808 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
811 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
812 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
816 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
818 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
819 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
820 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
823 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
824 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
825 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
828 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
829 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
832 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
833 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
836 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
838 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
839 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
840 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
841 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
843 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
845 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
849 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
850 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
852 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
853 associated_methods. (hdp)
854 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
855 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
856 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
857 misspelled) arguments
859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
860 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
861 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
862 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
864 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
865 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
866 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
868 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
871 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
872 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
873 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
876 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
877 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
879 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
881 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
882 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
884 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
885 * Moose::Manual::Types
886 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
887 string parsing rathole (mst)
889 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
890 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
891 using plain objects instead
893 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
894 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
897 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
899 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
900 three times today (perigrin)
901 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
902 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
904 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
905 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
906 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
907 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
910 - A role's required methods are now represented by
911 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
912 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
913 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
914 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
915 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
918 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
919 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
920 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
921 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
924 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
926 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
929 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
931 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
934 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
935 during global destruction. This method has been made more
936 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
940 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
941 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
944 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
945 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
947 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
948 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
949 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
952 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
954 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
955 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
958 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
962 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
963 methods during global destruction (doy)
966 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
967 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
971 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
972 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
975 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
976 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
979 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
980 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
982 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
984 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
988 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
989 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
990 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
993 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
994 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
995 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
998 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1000 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1001 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1002 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1005 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1006 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1007 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1008 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1010 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1011 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1012 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1015 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1018 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1019 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1020 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1024 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1025 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1027 * Moose::Meta::Class
1028 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1030 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1032 * Moose::Meta::Class
1033 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1034 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1037 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1038 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1041 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1042 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1045 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1048 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1051 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1054 * Moose::Meta::Class
1055 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1057 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1058 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1061 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1062 * More deprecations and renamings
1063 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1064 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1065 when an object is constructed)
1068 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1069 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1070 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1072 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1073 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1074 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1075 feature, and it works again.
1078 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1080 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1082 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1083 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1084 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1086 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1087 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1088 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1089 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1090 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1092 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1093 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1094 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1095 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1096 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1099 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1100 metaclass object. (hdp)
1102 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1103 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1104 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1105 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1106 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1107 point out this fact. (hdp)
1109 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1110 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1112 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1113 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1115 * Moose::Meta::Class
1116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1117 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1118 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1119 called during instance construction were passed the
1120 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1121 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1123 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1124 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1128 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1129 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1132 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1133 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1134 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1135 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1136 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1138 - Moose::Meta::Class
1139 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1141 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1142 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1143 when an object is constructed)
1144 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1146 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1147 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1148 when an object is constructed)
1149 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1150 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1151 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1154 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1156 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1157 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1159 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1161 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1162 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1163 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1165 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1166 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1167 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1169 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1171 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1172 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1174 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1175 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1178 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1179 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1182 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1183 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1184 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1187 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1191 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1192 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1193 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1195 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1196 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1199 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1200 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1201 with recommended workarounds.
1203 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1204 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1207 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1208 (yes, spelled like that).
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1211 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1213 * Moose::Meta::Class
1214 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1215 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1217 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1219 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1220 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1221 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1222 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1223 instead. Reported by doy.
1225 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1227 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1228 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1231 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1232 message) is now deprecated.
1233 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1234 often got it wrong. For example:
1236 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1238 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1242 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1243 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1244 bite you in weird cases.
1246 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1247 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1248 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1249 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1251 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1252 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1256 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1259 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1260 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1264 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1267 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1270 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1271 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1272 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1273 - added tests for this (stevan)
1275 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1276 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1277 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1278 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1282 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1283 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1284 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1285 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1287 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1288 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1289 - added tests for this (rafl)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1292 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1293 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1294 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1298 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1299 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1302 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1303 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1304 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1306 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1308 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1309 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1311 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1312 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1313 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1314 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1315 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1318 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1319 error message did not specify the attribute name
1322 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1324 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1326 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1327 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1328 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1331 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1334 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1336 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1337 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1338 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1339 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1341 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1343 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1344 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1345 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1346 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1349 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1350 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1352 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1353 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1354 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1355 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1356 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1359 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1360 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1361 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1362 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1364 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1365 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1366 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1367 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1368 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1369 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1371 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1372 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1373 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1374 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1375 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1376 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1378 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1379 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1381 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1382 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1383 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1384 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1386 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1387 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1390 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1394 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1395 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1397 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1398 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1399 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1400 guts. (nothingmuch).
1402 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1404 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1406 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1407 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1408 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1409 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1411 * Moose::Meta::Class
1412 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1415 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1416 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1418 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1419 * Moose::Unsweetened
1420 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1423 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1424 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1425 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1426 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1427 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1428 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1430 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1431 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1432 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1433 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1434 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1435 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1436 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1437 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1438 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1439 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1441 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1443 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1444 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1447 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1448 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1449 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1451 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1452 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1453 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1454 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1455 same methods for a single role did not work
1456 right (worked just fine with multiple
1458 - added test for this (stevan)
1460 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1461 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1462 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1465 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1466 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1467 - added test for this (t0m)
1470 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1471 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1472 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1475 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1476 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1477 - added test for this (t0m)
1479 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1480 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1481 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1482 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1483 - added test for this (perigrin)
1486 - create method for constructing a role
1487 dynamically (Sartak)
1488 - added test for this (Sartak)
1489 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1490 - added test for this (Sartak)
1493 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1495 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1496 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1497 methods is useful (Sartak)
1499 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1500 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1501 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1504 * Moose::Meta::Class
1505 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1506 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1507 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1508 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1509 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1510 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1513 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1514 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1516 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1517 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1518 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1519 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1520 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1522 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1524 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1525 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1526 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1529 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1530 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1531 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1532 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1533 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1534 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1537 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1538 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1539 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1540 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1541 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1542 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1543 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1544 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1545 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1546 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1547 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1549 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1550 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1554 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1555 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1556 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1557 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1559 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1561 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1562 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1563 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1565 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1566 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1568 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1569 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1570 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1571 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1574 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1575 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1577 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1579 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1580 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1582 * Moose::Meta::Class
1583 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1584 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1585 a required attribute
1587 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1588 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1589 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1590 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1592 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1593 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1596 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1597 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1598 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1599 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1600 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1601 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1602 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1604 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1605 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1606 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1608 * Roles and role application
1609 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1610 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1611 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1612 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1613 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1615 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1616 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1619 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1620 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1621 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1622 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1623 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1626 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1627 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1628 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1629 changes in the Moose internals.
1631 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1632 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1633 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1637 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1638 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1639 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1641 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1642 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1643 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1644 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1647 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1648 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1649 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1650 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1651 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1652 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1653 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1654 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1655 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1656 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1657 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1658 constraint implementations.
1660 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1664 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1665 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1666 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1667 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1668 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1669 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1670 - added tests for this (rafl)
1672 * Moose::Meta::Class
1673 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1674 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1675 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1676 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1677 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1678 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1679 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1680 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1683 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1684 - added tests for this (thepler)
1686 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1687 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1688 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1689 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1692 * Moose::Meta::Class
1693 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1694 * Moose::Meta::Method
1697 * Moose::Error::Default
1698 * Moose::Error::Croak
1699 * Moose::Error::Confess
1700 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1701 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1702 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1703 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1704 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1705 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1707 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1709 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1710 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1712 * Moose::Unsweetened
1713 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1714 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1715 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1718 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1719 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1720 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1721 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1724 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1725 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1727 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1728 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1729 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1730 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1733 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1735 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1736 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1738 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1741 - Various bug fixes.
1743 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1744 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1746 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1748 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1749 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1750 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1751 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1752 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1753 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1755 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1756 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1757 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1759 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1760 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1761 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1764 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1765 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1766 dependency to 0.64_07.
1768 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1769 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1770 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1772 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1773 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1776 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1777 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1778 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1779 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1780 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1781 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1783 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1784 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1786 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1788 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1789 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1793 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1794 method when that method was provided by another role being
1795 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1796 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1798 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1800 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1801 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1803 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1804 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1805 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1806 - added test for this (t0m)
1808 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1809 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1810 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1812 - added test for this (t0m)
1815 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1816 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1817 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1820 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1821 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1823 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1825 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1826 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1828 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1829 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1830 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1832 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1833 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1836 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1837 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1838 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1839 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1843 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1844 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1845 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1849 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1850 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1851 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1854 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1858 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1859 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1860 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1862 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1863 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1864 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1865 created so that the process can be more easily
1866 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1869 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1870 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1871 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1874 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1877 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1878 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1880 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1881 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1882 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1884 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1885 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1886 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1888 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1889 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1891 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1892 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1895 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1896 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1900 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1901 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1903 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1904 ... this is not my day today ...
1906 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1907 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1908 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1909 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1910 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1913 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1914 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1915 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1916 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1917 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1920 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1922 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1923 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1924 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1925 this is not ever something you want to do
1926 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1927 - added tests for this (stevan)
1930 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1932 - added test for this
1934 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1935 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1936 - added tests for this (wreis)
1938 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1939 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1940 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1941 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1943 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1944 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1945 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1948 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1950 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1952 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1955 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1956 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1957 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1958 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1959 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1960 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1961 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1962 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1963 - added tests for this
1965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1966 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1967 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1968 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1970 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1973 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1974 - added tests for this (sartak)
1975 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1976 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1979 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1981 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1982 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1985 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1986 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1987 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1989 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1991 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1992 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1995 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1996 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1997 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2000 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2001 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2003 - added docs for this (TODO).
2004 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2005 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2006 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2007 - fix builder and default both being used
2012 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2014 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2015 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2016 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2020 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2024 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2025 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2026 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2029 - move the ClassName type check code to
2030 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2032 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2033 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2035 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2036 (early morning release engineering)--
2038 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2039 which was causing the indexer to choke
2041 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2042 (late night release engineering)--
2044 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2045 changes in this release
2047 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2048 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2049 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2051 * Moose::Meta::Class

2075 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2076 XS based functionality is now optional
2077 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2078 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2079 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2153 ->body when looping through the
2154 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2156 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2157 eating the $@ values, and so not
2158 working correctly, it still kind of
2159 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2160 - added tests for this

2182 drink more coffee before
2183 doing release engineering
2185 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2300 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2302 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2303 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2346 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2347 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2639 - fixed how required methods are handled
2640 when they encounter overriden or modified
2641 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2642 - added tests for this
2644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2645 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2646 the | always creates a union and so is
2647 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2648 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2650 - added more tests for this
2652 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2655 * Parameterized Types
2656 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2657 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2658 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2659 They can also be nested:
2660 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2661 And work with the type unions as well:
2662 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2664 * Better Framework Extendability
2665 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2666 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2667 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2668 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2671 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2672 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2673 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2674 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2677 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2679 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2718 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2719 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2720 - updated the accompanying test as well

2851 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2852 - added tests for this
2854 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2856 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2908 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2909 so that you can actually document your
2910 attributes and inspect them through the

2917 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2918 then default to just loading $name.
2919 - added tests and docs for this
2921 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2922 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2923 - added test for this
2926 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2927 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2928 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2929 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2931 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2932 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2935 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2937 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2938 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2939 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2942 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2943 !! for this developer release to work !!
2945 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2946 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2947 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2948 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2949 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2950 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2951 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2952 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2953 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2954 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2955 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2957 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2958 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2959 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2960 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2963 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2965 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2966 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2967 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2969 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2971 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2972 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2975 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2976 called unless they actually need to be.
2977 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2978 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2979 DEMOLISH method present.
2981 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2982 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2983 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2984 type constraint, which allows for a
2985 hand optimized version of the type
2986 constraint to be used when possible.
2987 - Any internally created type constraints
2988 now provide an optimized version as well.
2990 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2992 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2993 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2994 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2997 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2998 your class namespace of these exported
3001 * Moose::Meta::Class
3002 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3003 comes up during global destruction
3005 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3009 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3012 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3013 - changed how we do type checks so that
3014 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3017 - moved accessor generation methods to
3018 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3019 conform to the API changes from
3022 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3023 - changed how constraints are compiled
3024 so that we do less recursion and more
3025 iteration. This makes the type check
3027 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3030 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3031 - created this from methods formerly found in
3032 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3046 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3047 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3048 - added tests for this
3049 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3050 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3051 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3052 - removed tests for this
3054 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3056 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3057 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3058 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3061 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3062 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3063 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3065 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3066 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3067 comments for more info.
3070 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3071 asked questions and common problems
3073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3074 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3075 - added tests for this
3077 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3078 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3079 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3080 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3082 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3083 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3086 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3087 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3088 is much appreciated :)
3089 - added tests for this
3091 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3092 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3093 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3096 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3097 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3099 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3101 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3102 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3106 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3107 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3108 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3110 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3112 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3115 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive

3117 keywords because we need to localize them.
3118 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3120 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3121 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3122 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3125 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3128 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3129 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3130 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3133 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3134 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3135 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3137 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3139 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3140 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3141 bottom of your class file.
3144 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3147 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3149 - improved error message when loading modules so
3150 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3151 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3152 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3155 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3156 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3157 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3160 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3162 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3163 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3164 turn them on for you.
3165 - added tests for this

3194 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3195 - This release works in combination with
3196 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3197 release because it uses the a new
3198 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3199 complete Role implementation. It has
3200 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3201 the the previous CPAN version. This
3202 release also lacks good updated docs,
3203 the official release will have updated docs.
3206 - refactored the keyword exports
3207 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3208 accepts more than one Role at a time

3221 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3224 - more careful checking of params to new()
3227 - much work done on the role composition
3228 - many new tests for conflict detection
3229 and composition edge cases
3230 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3231 looking at the tests

3256 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3257 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3258 on a per-attribute basis
3259 - added tests for this
