1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
9 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
11 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
14 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
18 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
19 immutable classes). (mo)
21 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
22 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
23 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
25 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
29 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
31 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
33 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
37 * Fix some indexing issues.
39 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
41 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
45 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
46 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
47 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
48 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
49 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
51 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
52 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
57 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
58 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
59 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
60 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
62 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
63 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
64 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
68 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
69 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
72 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
76 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
77 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
78 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
79 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
82 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
86 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
89 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
93 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
94 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
95 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
97 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
101 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
102 policy. (Chris Prather)
104 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
105 on this new support policy. (doy)
109 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
110 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
111 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
113 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
114 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
116 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
120 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
121 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
122 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
123 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
126 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
130 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
131 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
134 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
138 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
139 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
141 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
142 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
146 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
147 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
148 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
149 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
150 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
151 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
153 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
154 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
156 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
157 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
158 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
159 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
161 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
162 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
164 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
169 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
170 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
172 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
176 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
177 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
178 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
180 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
184 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
185 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
186 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
188 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
189 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
192 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
193 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
196 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
197 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
198 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
200 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
201 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
206 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
207 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
208 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
209 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
211 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
212 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
214 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
215 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
217 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
218 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
219 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
220 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
222 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
223 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
224 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
227 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
228 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
229 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
230 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
232 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
233 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
236 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
237 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
238 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
240 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
244 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
245 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
246 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
248 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
249 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
250 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
253 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
254 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
255 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
257 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
258 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
259 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
261 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
262 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
266 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
267 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
268 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
270 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
271 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
272 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
273 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
275 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
279 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
280 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
281 value is a reference.
283 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
284 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
286 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
290 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
291 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
292 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
294 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
298 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
299 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
303 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
304 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
305 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
307 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
308 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
309 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
311 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
315 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
317 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
321 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
323 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
324 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
329 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
330 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
332 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
333 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
334 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
335 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
336 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
338 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
339 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
340 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
341 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
343 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
347 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
348 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
353 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
355 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
357 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
362 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
364 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
368 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
369 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
370 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
372 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
373 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
374 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
375 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
377 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
378 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
379 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
380 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
381 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
384 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
389 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
390 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
391 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
392 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
393 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
396 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
400 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
403 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
404 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
408 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
409 function (not just method). (doy)
413 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
414 and aren't easily installable/testable.
416 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
420 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
421 to be overridden more easily (doy).
423 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
427 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
428 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
430 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
434 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
435 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
436 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
438 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
442 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
443 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
444 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
446 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
447 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
451 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
452 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
454 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
455 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
459 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
460 is applied to a class (t0m).
462 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
463 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
465 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
468 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
469 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
471 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
472 be much more robust. (doy)
474 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
476 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
479 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
483 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
484 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
486 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
490 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
491 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
493 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
496 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
497 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
498 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
500 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
501 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
502 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
505 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
507 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
511 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
512 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
516 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
518 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
523 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
527 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
528 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
532 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
534 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
538 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
539 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
543 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
544 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
548 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
549 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
551 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
555 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
556 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
557 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
560 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
564 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
565 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
566 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
567 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
569 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
573 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
574 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
575 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
579 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
582 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
586 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
587 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
588 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
592 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
593 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
595 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
596 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
597 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
598 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
600 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
604 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
608 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
609 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
611 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
612 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
613 - Moose::Util::does_role
614 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
615 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
616 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
618 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
622 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
623 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
624 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
627 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
631 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
632 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
635 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
639 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
640 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
643 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
647 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
649 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
650 class. (Dave Rolsky).
652 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
653 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
654 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
656 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
657 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
658 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
661 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
662 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
664 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
665 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
666 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
668 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
670 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
671 substr et al, again. (sorear)
673 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
675 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
678 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
679 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
681 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
682 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
684 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
685 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
686 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
687 dependencies installed.
689 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
690 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
693 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
695 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
699 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
701 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
702 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
703 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
706 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
707 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
709 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
710 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
713 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
714 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
715 others. (nothingmuch)
717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
718 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
719 remove_accessors. (doy)
721 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
722 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
723 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
726 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
728 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
730 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
731 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
734 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
735 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
738 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
740 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
742 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
743 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
747 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
748 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
749 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
750 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
752 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
754 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
755 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
756 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
757 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
758 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
761 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
762 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
763 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
764 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
765 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
767 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
768 which were not receiving the value of
769 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
770 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
771 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
772 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
776 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
777 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
778 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
779 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
780 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
784 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
785 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
786 - added tests for this (Stevan)
789 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
790 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
791 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
794 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
796 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
799 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
800 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
803 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
804 class if you pass it options for
805 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
806 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
807 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
808 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
809 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
810 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
811 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
812 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
813 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
815 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
816 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
817 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
818 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
819 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
822 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
823 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
824 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
825 existing delegation API. (hdp)
827 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
828 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
829 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
830 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
831 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
832 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
835 * Moose::Error::Croak
836 * Moose::Error::Confess
837 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
838 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
841 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
844 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
845 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
846 installing a broken sub. (doy)
849 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
852 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
853 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
854 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
856 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
857 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
858 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
859 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
860 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
862 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
863 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
866 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
868 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
869 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
872 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
873 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
876 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
877 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
878 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
880 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
881 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
882 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
883 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
884 using it for new code!
886 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
887 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
888 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
889 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
891 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
892 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
893 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
894 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
895 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
896 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
897 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
898 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
901 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
904 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
905 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
908 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
909 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
911 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
912 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
913 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
916 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
917 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
918 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
921 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
922 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
925 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
926 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
929 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
930 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
931 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
932 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
933 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
934 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
936 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
938 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
941 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
942 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
943 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
945 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
946 associated_methods. (hdp)
947 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
948 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
949 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
950 misspelled) arguments
952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
953 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
954 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
955 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
957 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
958 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
959 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
961 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
965 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
966 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
969 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
970 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
972 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
974 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
975 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
977 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
978 * Moose::Manual::Types
979 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
980 string parsing rathole (mst)
982 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
983 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
984 using plain objects instead
986 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
987 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
990 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
992 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
993 three times today (perigrin)
994 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
995 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
998 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
999 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1000 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1003 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1004 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1005 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1006 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1007 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1008 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1011 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1012 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1013 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1014 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1017 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1019 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1022 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1024 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1027 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1028 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1029 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1033 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1034 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1037 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1038 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1040 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1041 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1042 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1044 * Moose::Unsweetened
1045 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1047 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1048 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1051 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1055 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1056 methods during global destruction (doy)
1058 * Moose::Meta::Class
1059 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1060 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1061 consumption (Sartak)
1063 * Moose::Meta::Class
1064 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1065 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1068 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1069 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1072 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1073 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1075 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1077 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1081 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1082 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1083 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1086 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1087 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1088 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1091 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1093 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1094 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1095 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1098 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1099 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1100 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1101 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1103 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1104 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1105 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1108 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1111 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1112 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1113 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1117 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1118 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1120 * Moose::Meta::Class
1121 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1123 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1125 * Moose::Meta::Class
1126 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1127 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1130 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1131 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1134 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1135 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1138 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1141 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1143 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1144 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1147 * Moose::Meta::Class
1148 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1151 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1154 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1155 * More deprecations and renamings
1156 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1157 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1158 when an object is constructed)
1161 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1162 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1163 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1166 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1167 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1168 feature, and it works again.
1171 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1173 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1175 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1176 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1177 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1180 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1181 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1182 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1183 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1185 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1186 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1187 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1188 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1189 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1192 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1193 metaclass object. (hdp)
1195 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1196 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1197 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1198 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1199 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1200 point out this fact. (hdp)
1202 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1203 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1205 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1206 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1208 * Moose::Meta::Class
1209 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1210 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1211 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1212 called during instance construction were passed the
1213 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1214 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1216 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1217 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1220 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1221 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1222 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1225 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1226 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1227 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1228 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1229 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1231 - Moose::Meta::Class
1232 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1234 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1235 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1236 when an object is constructed)
1237 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1239 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1240 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1241 when an object is constructed)
1242 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1243 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1244 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1247 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1249 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1250 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1252 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1254 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1255 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1256 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1258 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1259 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1260 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1262 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1264 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1265 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1268 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1272 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1275 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1276 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1277 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1280 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1284 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1285 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1286 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1289 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1292 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1293 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1294 with recommended workarounds.
1296 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1297 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1300 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1301 (yes, spelled like that).
1303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1304 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1306 * Moose::Meta::Class
1307 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1308 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1310 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1313 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1314 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1315 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1316 instead. Reported by doy.
1318 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1320 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1321 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1324 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1325 message) is now deprecated.
1326 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1327 often got it wrong. For example:
1329 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1331 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1335 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1336 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1337 bite you in weird cases.
1339 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1340 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1341 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1342 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1344 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1345 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1349 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1352 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1353 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1356 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1357 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1359 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1360 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1363 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1364 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1365 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1366 - added tests for this (stevan)
1368 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1369 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1370 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1371 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1375 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1376 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1377 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1378 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1380 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1381 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1382 - added tests for this (rafl)
1384 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1385 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1386 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1387 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1391 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1392 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1395 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1396 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1397 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1399 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1401 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1402 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1404 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1405 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1406 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1407 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1408 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1411 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1412 error message did not specify the attribute name
1415 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1417 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1419 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1420 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1421 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1423 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1424 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1427 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1429 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1430 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1431 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1432 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1434 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1436 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1437 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1438 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1439 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1441 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1442 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1443 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1445 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1446 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1447 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1448 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1449 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1451 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1452 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1453 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1454 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1455 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1458 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1459 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1460 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1461 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1462 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1464 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1465 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1466 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1467 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1468 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1469 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1472 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1474 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1475 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1476 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1477 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1479 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1480 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1483 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1487 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1488 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1490 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1491 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1492 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1493 guts. (nothingmuch).
1495 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1496 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1497 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1500 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1501 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1502 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1504 * Moose::Meta::Class
1505 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1508 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1509 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1511 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1512 * Moose::Unsweetened
1513 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1516 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1517 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1518 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1519 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1520 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1521 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1523 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1524 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1525 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1526 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1527 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1528 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1529 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1531 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1532 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1534 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1536 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1537 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1539 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1540 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1541 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1542 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1544 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1545 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1546 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1547 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1548 same methods for a single role did not work
1549 right (worked just fine with multiple
1551 - added test for this (stevan)
1553 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1554 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1555 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1558 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1559 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1560 - added test for this (t0m)
1563 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1564 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1565 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1567 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1568 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1569 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1570 - added test for this (t0m)
1572 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1573 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1574 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1575 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1576 - added test for this (perigrin)
1579 - create method for constructing a role
1580 dynamically (Sartak)
1581 - added test for this (Sartak)
1582 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1583 - added test for this (Sartak)
1586 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1588 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1589 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1590 methods is useful (Sartak)
1592 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1594 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1597 * Moose::Meta::Class
1598 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1599 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1600 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1601 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1602 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1603 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1606 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1607 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1609 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1610 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1611 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1612 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1613 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1615 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1617 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1618 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1619 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1622 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1623 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1624 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1625 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1626 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1627 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1631 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1632 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1633 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1634 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1635 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1636 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1637 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1638 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1639 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1640 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1642 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1643 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1646 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1647 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1648 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1649 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1650 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1652 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1654 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1655 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1656 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1658 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1659 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1661 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1662 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1663 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1664 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1667 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1668 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1670 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1672 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1673 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1675 * Moose::Meta::Class
1676 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1677 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1678 a required attribute
1680 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1681 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1682 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1683 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1686 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1689 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1690 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1691 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1692 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1693 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1694 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1695 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1698 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1699 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1701 * Roles and role application
1702 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1703 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1704 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1705 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1706 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1708 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1709 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1712 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1713 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1714 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1715 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1716 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1719 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1720 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1721 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1722 changes in the Moose internals.
1724 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1726 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1729 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1730 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1731 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1732 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1734 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1735 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1736 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1737 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1740 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1741 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1742 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1743 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1744 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1745 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1746 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1747 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1748 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1749 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1750 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1751 constraint implementations.
1753 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1757 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1758 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1759 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1760 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1761 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1762 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1763 - added tests for this (rafl)
1765 * Moose::Meta::Class
1766 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1767 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1768 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1769 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1770 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1771 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1772 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1773 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1776 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1777 - added tests for this (thepler)
1779 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1780 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1781 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1782 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1785 * Moose::Meta::Class
1786 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1787 * Moose::Meta::Method
1790 * Moose::Error::Default
1791 * Moose::Error::Croak
1792 * Moose::Error::Confess
1793 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1794 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1795 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1796 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1797 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1798 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1800 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1802 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1803 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 * Moose::Unsweetened
1806 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1807 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1808 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1811 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1812 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1813 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1814 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1817 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1818 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1820 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1821 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1822 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1823 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1826 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1828 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1829 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1831 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1834 - Various bug fixes.
1836 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1837 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1839 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1841 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1842 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1843 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1844 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1845 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1846 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1849 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1850 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1852 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1853 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1854 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1857 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1858 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1859 dependency to 0.64_07.
1861 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1862 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1863 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1865 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1866 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1869 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1870 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1871 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1872 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1873 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1874 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1876 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1877 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1879 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1881 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1882 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1886 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1887 method when that method was provided by another role being
1888 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1891 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1893 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1894 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1896 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1897 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1898 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1899 - added test for this (t0m)
1901 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1902 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1903 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1905 - added test for this (t0m)
1908 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1909 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1910 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1914 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1916 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1918 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1919 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1922 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1923 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1925 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1926 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1930 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1931 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1932 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1936 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1937 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1938 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1941 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1942 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1943 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1944 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1947 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1951 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1952 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1953 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1955 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1957 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1958 created so that the process can be more easily
1959 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1961 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1962 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1963 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1964 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1966 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1967 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1970 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1971 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1973 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1974 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1975 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1977 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1978 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1979 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1981 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1982 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1984 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1985 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1988 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1989 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1993 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1994 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1996 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1997 ... this is not my day today ...
1999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2000 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2001 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2002 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2003 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2006 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2007 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2008 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2009 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2010 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2013 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2015 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2016 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2017 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2018 this is not ever something you want to do
2019 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2020 - added tests for this (stevan)
2023 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2025 - added test for this
2027 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2028 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2029 - added tests for this (wreis)
2031 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2032 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2033 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2034 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2036 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2037 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2038 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2041 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2043 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2045 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2048 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2049 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2050 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2051 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2052 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2053 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2054 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2055 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2056 - added tests for this
2058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2059 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2393 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2395 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2735 - added tests for this
2737 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2738 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2739 the | always creates a union and so is
2740 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2741 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2743 - added more tests for this
2745 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2748 * Parameterized Types
2749 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2750 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2751 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2752 They can also be nested:
2753 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2754 And work with the type unions as well:
2755 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2757 * Better Framework Extendability
2758 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2759 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2760 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2761 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2764 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2765 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2766 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2767 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2770 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2772 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2773 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2822 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2824 - added tests for this
2826 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2832 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2833 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2835 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

2852 (thanks to shlomif).
2854 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2855 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2856 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy

2905 (but not changing the handles option)
2906 - added tests and docs for this
2909 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
2910 so that required methods can come from superclasses

2921 the other side (perigrin)
2923 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
2924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2925 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2926 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2927 prototypes for functions
2928 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2929 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2939 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2942 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2943 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2944 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2945 - added tests for this
2947 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2949 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2970 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2971 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2973 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2974 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2975 so this release is just to fix that.
2978 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2979 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2980 (thanks to konobi for this)

2992 functions to facilitate introspection.
2994 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2995 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2996 to build the list of delegated methods
2997 correctly (and not override important
2998 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3000 - added tests and docs for this
3001 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3002 so that you can actually document your
3003 attributes and inspect them through the
3005 - added tests and docs for this
3007 * Moose::Meta::Class
3008 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3009 it will first look in for the class in the
3010 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3011 then default to just loading $name.
3012 - added tests and docs for this
3014 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3015 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3016 - added test for this
3019 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3020 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3021 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3022 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3024 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3025 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3028 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3030 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3031 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3032 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3035 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3036 !! for this developer release to work !!
3038 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3039 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3040 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3041 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3042 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3043 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3044 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3045 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3046 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3047 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3048 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3050 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3051 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3052 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3053 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3056 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3057 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3058 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3059 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3060 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3062 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3064 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3065 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3068 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3069 called unless they actually need to be.
3070 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3071 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3072 DEMOLISH method present.
3074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3075 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3076 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3077 type constraint, which allows for a
3078 hand optimized version of the type
3079 constraint to be used when possible.
3080 - Any internally created type constraints
3081 now provide an optimized version as well.
3083 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3085 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3086 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3087 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3090 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3091 your class namespace of these exported
3094 * Moose::Meta::Class
3095 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3096 comes up during global destruction
3098 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3102 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3105 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3106 - changed how we do type checks so that
3107 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3110 - moved accessor generation methods to
3111 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3112 conform to the API changes from
3115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3116 - changed how constraints are compiled
3117 so that we do less recursion and more
3118 iteration. This makes the type check
3120 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3123 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3124 - created this from methods formerly found in
3125 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3127 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3128 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3130 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3131 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3133 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3134 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3136 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3138 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3139 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3140 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3141 - added tests for this
3142 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3143 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3144 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3145 - removed tests for this
3147 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3149 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3150 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3151 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3154 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3155 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3156 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3158 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3159 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3160 comments for more info.
3163 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3164 asked questions and common problems
3166 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3167 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3168 - added tests for this
3170 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3171 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3172 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3173 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3175 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3176 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3179 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3180 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3181 is much appreciated :)
3182 - added tests for this
3184 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3185 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3186 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3190 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3192 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3194 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3195 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3199 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3200 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3201 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3203 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3205 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3208 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3209 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3210 keywords because we need to localize them.
3211 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3213 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3214 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3215 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3218 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3221 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3222 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3223 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3226 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3227 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3228 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3230 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3232 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3233 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3234 bottom of your class file.
3237 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3240 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3242 - improved error message when loading modules so
3243 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3244 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3245 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3248 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3249 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3250 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3252 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3253 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3255 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3256 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3257 turn them on for you.
3258 - added tests for this
3259 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3260 in Moose::Meta::Class

3287 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3288 - This release works in combination with
3289 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3290 release because it uses the a new
3291 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3292 complete Role implementation. It has
3293 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3294 the the previous CPAN version. This
3295 release also lacks good updated docs,
3296 the official release will have updated docs.
3299 - refactored the keyword exports
3300 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3301 accepts more than one Role at a time
3302 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3303 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3306 - refactored the keyword exports
3307 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3308 accepts more than one Role at a time
3310 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3311 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3312 string enumerations which can be used as
3314 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3317 - more careful checking of params to new()
3320 - much work done on the role composition
3321 - many new tests for conflict detection
3322 and composition edge cases
3323 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3324 looking at the tests
3326 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3327 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3328 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3343 - no docs for this yet
3345 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3347 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3348 thanks to chansen for this commit
3349 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3350 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3351 on a per-attribute basis
3352 - added tests for this
3353 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3354 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3355 experimental feature and probably not finished
3356 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3357 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3358 - added tests for this
3361 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3419 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3420 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3422 - added test for this
3425 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3426 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
3427 - added test for this
