1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * An internals change in 0.97 broke applying a role to an instance (sadly,
9 this wasn't tested by the test suite). (Rafael Kitover)
16 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class destroyed the cache,
17 causing the class to go out of scope unexpectedly. This could easily
18 happen at a distance by applying a metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave
25 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
26 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
27 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
31 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
38 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method, in
39 addition to execute, to be able to call a code attribute as a method.
44 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
45 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
46 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions Moose::before,
47 Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs, with the same
48 behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp result in an error.
51 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
55 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
59 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
60 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
62 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
63 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
64 - Moose::Util::does_role
65 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
66 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
67 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
69 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
73 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
74 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
75 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
78 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
82 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 with Visual
83 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
86 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
90 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
91 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
94 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
98 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
100 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
101 class. (Dave Rolsky).
103 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
104 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
105 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
107 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
108 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
109 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
112 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
113 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
115 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
116 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
117 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
119 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
121 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
122 substr et al, again. (sorear)
124 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
126 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
129 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
130 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
132 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
133 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
135 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
136 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
137 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
138 dependencies installed.
140 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
141 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
144 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
146 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
150 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
152 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
153 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
154 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
156 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
157 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
158 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
160 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
161 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
164 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
165 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
166 others. (nothingmuch)
168 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
169 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
170 remove_accessors. (doy)
172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
173 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
174 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
177 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
179 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
180 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
181 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
182 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
185 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
186 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
189 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
191 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
193 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
194 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
197 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
198 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
199 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
200 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
201 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
203 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
206 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
207 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
208 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
209 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
212 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
213 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
214 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
215 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
216 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
218 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
219 which were not receiving the value of
220 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
221 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
222 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
223 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
227 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
228 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
229 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
230 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
231 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
235 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
236 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
237 - added tests for this (Stevan)
240 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
241 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
242 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
245 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
247 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
250 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
251 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
254 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
255 class if you pass it options for
256 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
257 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
258 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
259 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
260 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
261 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
262 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
263 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
264 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
266 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
267 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
268 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
269 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
270 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
273 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
274 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
275 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
276 existing delegation API. (hdp)
278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
279 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
280 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
281 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
282 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
283 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
286 * Moose::Error::Croak
287 * Moose::Error::Confess
288 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
289 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
292 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
295 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
296 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
297 installing a broken sub. (doy)
300 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
303 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
304 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
305 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
307 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
308 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
309 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
310 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
311 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
313 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
314 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
317 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
319 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
320 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
323 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
324 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
328 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
329 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
332 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
333 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
334 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
335 using it for new code!
337 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
338 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
339 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
340 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
342 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
343 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
344 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
345 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
346 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
347 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
348 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
349 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
352 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
355 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
356 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
359 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
360 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
363 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
364 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
368 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
369 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
372 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
373 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
376 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
377 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
380 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
381 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
382 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
383 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
384 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
385 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
387 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
389 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
392 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
393 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
394 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
396 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
397 associated_methods. (hdp)
398 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
399 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
400 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
401 misspelled) arguments
403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
404 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
405 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
406 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
408 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
410 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
412 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
416 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
417 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
420 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
421 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
423 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
425 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
426 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
428 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
429 * Moose::Manual::Types
430 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
431 string parsing rathole (mst)
433 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
434 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
435 using plain objects instead
437 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
438 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
441 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
443 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
444 three times today (perigrin)
445 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
446 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
449 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
450 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
451 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
454 - A role's required methods are now represented by
455 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
456 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
457 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
458 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
459 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
462 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
463 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
464 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
465 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
468 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
470 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
473 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
475 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
478 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
479 during global destruction. This method has been made more
480 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
484 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
485 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
488 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
489 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
491 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
492 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
493 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
496 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
498 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
499 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
502 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
506 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
507 methods during global destruction (doy)
510 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
511 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
515 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
516 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
519 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
520 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
523 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
524 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
526 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
528 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
532 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
533 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
534 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
537 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
538 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
539 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
542 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
544 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
545 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
546 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
549 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
550 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
551 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
552 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
554 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
555 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
556 of the Moose core (Sartak)
559 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
562 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
563 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
564 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
568 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
569 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
572 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
574 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
577 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
578 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
581 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
582 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
585 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
586 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
589 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
592 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
595 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
599 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
602 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
605 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
606 * More deprecations and renamings
607 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
608 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
609 when an object is constructed)
612 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
613 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
614 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
616 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
617 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
618 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
619 feature, and it works again.
622 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
624 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
626 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
627 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
628 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
630 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
631 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
632 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
633 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
634 message. Test provided by perigrin.
636 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
637 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
638 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
639 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
640 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
643 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
644 metaclass object. (hdp)
646 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
647 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
648 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
649 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
650 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
651 point out this fact. (hdp)
653 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
654 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
656 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
657 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
661 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
662 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
663 called during instance construction were passed the
664 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
665 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
667 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
668 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
671 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
672 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
673 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
676 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
677 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
678 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
679 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
680 them, but they are not for "public" use.
683 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
685 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
686 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
687 when an object is constructed)
688 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
690 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
691 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
692 when an object is constructed)
693 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
694 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
695 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
698 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
700 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
701 * No changes from 0.72_01.
703 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
705 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
706 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
707 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
709 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
710 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
711 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
713 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
715 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
716 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
718 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
719 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
722 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
723 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
726 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
727 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
728 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
731 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
735 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
736 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
737 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
740 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
743 * Moose::Manual::Delta
744 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
745 with recommended workarounds.
747 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
748 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
750 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
751 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
752 (yes, spelled like that).
754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
755 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
758 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
759 changes in latest Class::MOP.
761 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
764 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
765 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
766 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
767 instead. Reported by doy.
769 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
771 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
772 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
775 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
776 message) is now deprecated.
777 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
778 often got it wrong. For example:
780 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
782 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
786 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
787 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
788 bite you in weird cases.
790 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
791 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
792 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
795 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
796 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
800 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
803 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
804 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
807 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
808 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
811 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
814 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
816 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
817 - added tests for this (stevan)
819 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
820 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
821 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
822 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
826 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
827 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
828 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
829 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
831 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
832 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
833 - added tests for this (rafl)
835 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
836 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
837 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
838 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
842 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
843 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
846 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
847 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
848 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
850 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
852 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
853 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
856 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
857 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
858 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
859 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
862 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
863 error message did not specify the attribute name
866 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
868 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
870 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
871 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
872 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
874 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
875 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
878 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
880 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
881 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
882 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
883 of fixes and formatting improvements.
885 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
887 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
888 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
889 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
890 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
893 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
894 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
897 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
898 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
899 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
900 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
902 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
903 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
904 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
905 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
906 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
908 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
909 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
910 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
911 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
912 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
913 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
915 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
916 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
917 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
918 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
919 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
920 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
923 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
925 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
926 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
927 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
928 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
930 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
931 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
934 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
938 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
939 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
941 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
942 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
943 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
946 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
947 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
948 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
951 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
952 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
953 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
956 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
959 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
960 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
962 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
964 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
967 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
968 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
969 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
970 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
971 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
972 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
974 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
975 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
976 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
977 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
978 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
979 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
980 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
981 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
982 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
983 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
985 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
987 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
988 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
991 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
992 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
993 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
995 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
996 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
997 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
998 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
999 same methods for a single role did not work
1000 right (worked just fine with multiple
1002 - added test for this (stevan)
1004 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1005 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1006 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1009 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1010 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1011 - added test for this (t0m)
1014 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1015 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1016 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1019 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1020 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1021 - added test for this (t0m)
1023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1024 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1025 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1026 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1027 - added test for this (perigrin)
1030 - create method for constructing a role
1031 dynamically (Sartak)
1032 - added test for this (Sartak)
1033 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1034 - added test for this (Sartak)
1037 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1039 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1040 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1041 methods is useful (Sartak)
1043 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1044 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1045 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1048 * Moose::Meta::Class
1049 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1050 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1051 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1052 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1053 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1054 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1057 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1058 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1060 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1061 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1062 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1063 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1064 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1066 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1068 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1069 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1070 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1073 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1074 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1075 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1076 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1077 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1078 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1082 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1083 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1084 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1085 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1086 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1087 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1088 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1089 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1090 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1091 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1093 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1094 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1097 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1098 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1099 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1100 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1101 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1103 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1105 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1106 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1107 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1109 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1110 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1112 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1113 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1114 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1115 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1118 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1119 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1121 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1123 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1124 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Class
1127 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1128 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1129 a required attribute
1131 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1132 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1133 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1134 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1137 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1140 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1141 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1142 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1143 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1144 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1145 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1146 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1148 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1149 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1150 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1152 * Roles and role application
1153 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1154 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1155 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1156 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1157 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1159 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1160 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1163 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1164 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1165 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1166 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1167 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1170 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1171 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1172 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1173 changes in the Moose internals.
1175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1177 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1180 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1181 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1182 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1183 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1185 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1186 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1187 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1188 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1191 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1192 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1193 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1194 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1195 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1196 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1197 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1198 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1199 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1200 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1201 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1202 constraint implementations.
1204 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1208 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1209 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1210 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1211 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1212 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1213 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1214 - added tests for this (rafl)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Class
1217 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1218 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1219 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1220 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1221 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1222 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1223 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1227 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1228 - added tests for this (thepler)
1230 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1231 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1232 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1233 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1236 * Moose::Meta::Class
1237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1238 * Moose::Meta::Method
1241 * Moose::Error::Default
1242 * Moose::Error::Croak
1243 * Moose::Error::Confess
1244 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1245 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1246 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1247 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1248 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1249 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1251 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1253 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1254 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1256 * Moose::Unsweetened
1257 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1258 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1259 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1261 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1262 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1263 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1264 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1265 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1268 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1269 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1271 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1272 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1273 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1274 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1277 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1279 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1280 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1282 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1285 - Various bug fixes.
1287 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1288 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1290 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1292 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1293 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1294 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1295 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1296 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1297 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1299 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1300 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1301 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1303 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1305 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1308 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1309 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1310 dependency to 0.64_07.
1312 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1313 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1314 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1316 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1317 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1320 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1321 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1322 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1323 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1324 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1325 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1327 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1328 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1330 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1332 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1333 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1337 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1338 method when that method was provided by another role being
1339 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1340 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1342 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1344 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1345 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1348 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1349 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1350 - added test for this (t0m)
1352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1353 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1354 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1356 - added test for this (t0m)
1359 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"

1447 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1448 ... this is not my day today ...
1450 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1451 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1452 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1453 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1454 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1457 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1458 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1459 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1460 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1461 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1464 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1466 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1467 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1499 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1500 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1501 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1502 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1503 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1504 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1505 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1506 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1507 - added tests for this
1509 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1510 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

1620 XS based functionality is now optional
1621 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1622 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1623 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1726 drink more coffee before
1727 doing release engineering
1729 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2054 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2055 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2057 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2058 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)
2060 * Moose::Meta::Class
2062 - several tweaks to take advantage of the
2063 new method map caching in Class::MOP
2065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2066 - allow subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef to
2067 be used as a container (sartak)
2068 - added tests for this
2069 - basic support for coercion to ArrayRef and
2070 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2071 - added tests for this
2073 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2074 - coercions will now create subtypes as needed
2075 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2076 types without having to explictly define them
2077 - added tests for this
2079 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2080 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2081 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2083 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2084 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2085 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2086 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2087 - added tests for this
2088 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2089 a single type at different times instead of
2090 having to do it all in one place
2091 - added tests for this
2093 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2094 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2095 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2098 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2099 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2100 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2101 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2102 new features above (although you cannot add
2103 more type coercions for Union types)
2105 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2107 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2108 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2109 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2110 - added tests for this.
2111 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2112 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2113 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2114 - added tests for this
2115 - added docs for this
2117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2118 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2119 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2120 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2121 instead it will just return undef.
2122 - added docs for this
2124 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2136 with work correctly.
2137 - added tests for this
2140 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2141 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2144 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2145 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2146 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2148 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2160 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2162 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2179 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2180 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2183 - fixed how required methods are handled
2184 when they encounter overriden or modified
2185 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2186 - added tests for this
2188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2189 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2190 the | always creates a union and so is
2191 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2192 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2194 - added more tests for this
2196 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2199 * Parameterized Types
2200 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2201 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2202 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2203 They can also be nested:
2204 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2205 And work with the type unions as well:
2206 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2208 * Better Framework Extendability
2209 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2210 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2211 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2212 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2215 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2216 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2217 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2218 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2221 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2223 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2224 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2227 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2228 set it to inline the accessors
2229 - fix import to allow Sub::Exporter like { into => }

2254 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2255 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2257 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2258 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2259 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2260 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2262 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2263 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2264 - updated the accompanying test as well
2266 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2267 +++ with new features added as well +++
2269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2270 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2271 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
2272 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
2273 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2275 - added tests for this
2277 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2278 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
2279 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we
2280 can track where the type constraints are created
2282 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2283 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2284 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2286 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2287 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2288 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2289 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2291 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2303 (thanks to shlomif).
2305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2306 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2307 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2308 - added tests for this
2309 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2311 - added tests for this
2313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2315 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2316 - type-constraint tests now handle overloaded objects correctly

2344 - This contains Moose specific test functions
2345 - added tests for these
2347 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2348 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2351 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
2352 to the 'handles' option.
2353 - added tests and docs for this
2354 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to
2355 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
2356 (but not changing the handles option)
2357 - added tests and docs for this
2360 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2361 so that required methods can come from superclasses
2362 - adjusted tests for this
2364 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
2365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2366 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

2372 the other side (perigrin)
2374 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2375 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2376 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2377 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2378 prototypes for functions
2379 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2380 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
2381 - added tests and docs for this

2390 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2393 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2394 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2395 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2396 - added tests for this
2398 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2400 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
2401 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

2413 where not handled correctly in roles
2414 - added tests for this
2416 * Moose::Meta::Class
2417 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2418 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2419 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2421 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2422 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2424 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2425 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2426 so this release is just to fix that.
2429 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2430 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2431 (thanks to konobi for this)
2432 - added tests and docs
2434 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2435 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2438 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2439 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2440 - added tests for this
2441 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2442 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2443 functions to facilitate introspection.
2445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2446 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2447 to build the list of delegated methods
2448 correctly (and not override important
2449 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2451 - added tests and docs for this
2452 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2453 so that you can actually document your
2454 attributes and inspect them through the
2456 - added tests and docs for this
2458 * Moose::Meta::Class
2459 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2460 it will first look in for the class in the
2461 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2462 then default to just loading $name.
2463 - added tests and docs for this
2465 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2466 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2467 - added test for this
2470 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2471 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2472 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2473 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2475 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2476 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2479 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2481 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2482 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2483 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2486 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2487 !! for this developer release to work !!
2489 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2490 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2491 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2492 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2493 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2494 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2495 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2496 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2497 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2498 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2499 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2501 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2502 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2503 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2504 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2507 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2508 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2509 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2510 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2511 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2513 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2515 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2516 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2519 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2520 called unless they actually need to be.
2521 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2522 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2523 DEMOLISH method present.
2525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2526 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2527 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2528 type constraint, which allows for a
2529 hand optimized version of the type
2530 constraint to be used when possible.
2531 - Any internally created type constraints
2532 now provide an optimized version as well.
2534 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2536 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2537 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2538 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2540 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2541 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2542 your class namespace of these exported
2545 * Moose::Meta::Class
2546 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2547 comes up during global destruction
2549 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2553 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2557 - changed how we do type checks so that
2558 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2561 - moved accessor generation methods to
2562 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2563 conform to the API changes from
2566 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2567 - changed how constraints are compiled
2568 so that we do less recursion and more
2569 iteration. This makes the type check
2571 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2574 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2575 - created this from methods formerly found in
2576 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2578 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2579 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2582 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2584 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2585 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2587 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2589 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2590 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2591 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2592 - added tests for this
2593 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2594 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2595 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2596 - removed tests for this
2598 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2600 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2601 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2602 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2605 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2606 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2607 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2609 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2610 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2611 comments for more info.
2614 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2615 asked questions and common problems
2617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2618 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2619 - added tests for this
2621 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2622 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2623 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2624 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2626 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2627 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2630 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2631 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2632 is much appreciated :)
2633 - added tests for this
2635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2636 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2637 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2641 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2643 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2645 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2646 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2650 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2651 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2652 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2654 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2656 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2659 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2660 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2661 keywords because we need to localize them.
2662 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2664 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2665 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2666 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2669 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2672 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2673 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2674 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2677 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2678 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2679 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2681 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2683 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2684 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2685 bottom of your class file.
2688 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2691 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2693 - improved error message when loading modules so
2694 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2695 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2696 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2699 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2700 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2701 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2703 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2704 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2706 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2707 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2708 turn them on for you.
2709 - added tests for this
2710 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2711 in Moose::Meta::Class
2714 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2715 automatically turned on for you.
2716 - added tests for this
2719 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2720 - added tests for this
2721 - added some more edge case tests
2723 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
2724 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2726 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2730 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2734 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2737 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2738 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2739 - This release works in combination with
2740 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2741 release because it uses the a new
2742 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2743 complete Role implementation. It has
2744 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2745 the the previous CPAN version. This
2746 release also lacks good updated docs,
2747 the official release will have updated docs.
2750 - refactored the keyword exports
2751 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2752 accepts more than one Role at a time
2753 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2754 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2757 - refactored the keyword exports
2758 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2759 accepts more than one Role at a time
2761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2762 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2763 string enumerations which can be used as
2765 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2768 - more careful checking of params to new()
2771 - much work done on the role composition
2772 - many new tests for conflict detection
2773 and composition edge cases
2774 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2775 looking at the tests
2777 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2778 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2779 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2781 * Moose::Meta::Class
2782 - some small changes to support the new

2792 with the 'handles' option
2793 - added several tests for this
2794 - no docs for this yet
2796 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2798 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2799 thanks to chansen for this commit
2800 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2801 to support custom attribute meta-classes

2805 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2806 experimental feature and probably not finished
