1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
9 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
11 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute ovewrites an accessor for
12 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
16 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
17 members, if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
18 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
19 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
20 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
21 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
23 * Using a regexp to define delegation for a class which was not yet loaded
24 caused an error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max
25 Kanat-Alexander. RT #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
27 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
28 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
30 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
35 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
36 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
38 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
42 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
43 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
44 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
46 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
50 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
51 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
52 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
55 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
58 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
59 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
62 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
63 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
64 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
66 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
67 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
72 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
73 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
74 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
77 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
78 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
80 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
81 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
83 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
84 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
85 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
88 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
89 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
90 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
93 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
94 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
95 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
96 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
98 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
99 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
102 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
103 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
104 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
106 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
110 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
111 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
112 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
114 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
115 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
116 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
119 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
120 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
121 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
123 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
124 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
125 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
127 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
128 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
132 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
133 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
134 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
136 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
137 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
138 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
139 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
141 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
145 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
146 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
147 value is a reference.
149 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
150 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
152 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
156 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
157 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
158 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
160 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
164 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
165 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
169 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
170 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
171 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
173 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
174 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
175 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
177 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
181 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
183 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
187 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
189 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
190 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
195 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
196 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
198 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
199 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
200 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
201 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
202 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
204 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
205 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
206 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
207 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
209 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
213 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
214 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
219 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
221 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
223 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
228 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
230 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
234 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
235 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
236 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
238 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
239 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
240 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
241 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
243 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
244 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
245 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
246 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
247 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
250 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
255 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
256 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
257 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
258 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
259 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
262 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
266 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
269 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
270 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
274 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
275 function (not just method). (doy)
279 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
280 and aren't easily installable/testable.
282 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
286 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
287 to be overridden more easily (doy).
289 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
293 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
294 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
296 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
300 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
301 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
302 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
304 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
308 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
309 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
310 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
312 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
313 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
317 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
318 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
320 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
321 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
325 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
326 is applied to a class (t0m).
328 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
329 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
331 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
334 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
335 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
337 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
338 be much more robust. (doy)
340 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
342 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
345 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
349 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
350 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
352 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
356 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
357 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
359 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
362 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
363 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
364 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
366 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
367 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
368 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
371 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
373 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
377 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
378 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
382 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
384 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
389 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
393 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
394 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
398 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
400 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
404 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
405 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
409 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
410 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
414 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
415 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
417 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
421 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
422 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
423 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
426 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
430 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
431 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
432 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
433 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
435 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
439 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
440 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
441 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
445 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
448 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
453 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
454 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
458 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
459 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
461 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
462 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
463 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
464 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
466 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
470 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
474 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
475 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
477 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
478 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
479 - Moose::Util::does_role
480 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
481 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
482 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
484 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
488 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
489 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
490 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
493 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
497 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
498 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
501 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
505 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
506 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
509 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
513 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
515 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
516 class. (Dave Rolsky).
518 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
519 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
520 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
522 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
523 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
524 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
527 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
528 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
530 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
531 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
532 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
534 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
536 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
537 substr et al, again. (sorear)
539 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
541 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
544 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
545 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
547 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
548 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
550 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
551 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
552 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
553 dependencies installed.
555 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
556 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
559 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
561 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
565 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
568 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
569 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
571 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
572 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
573 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
575 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
576 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
579 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
580 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
581 others. (nothingmuch)
583 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
584 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
585 remove_accessors. (doy)
587 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
588 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
589 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
591 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
592 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
594 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
596 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
597 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
600 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
601 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
603 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
604 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
606 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
608 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
609 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
612 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
613 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
614 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
615 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
616 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
618 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
621 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
622 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
623 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
624 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
627 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
628 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
629 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
630 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
631 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
633 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
634 which were not receiving the value of
635 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
636 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
637 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
638 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
642 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
643 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
644 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
645 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
646 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
650 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
651 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
652 - added tests for this (Stevan)
655 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
656 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
657 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
660 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
662 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
664 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
665 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
666 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
669 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
670 class if you pass it options for
671 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
672 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
673 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
674 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
675 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
676 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
677 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
678 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
679 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
681 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
682 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
683 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
684 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
685 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
688 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
690 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
691 existing delegation API. (hdp)
693 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
694 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
695 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
696 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
697 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
698 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
701 * Moose::Error::Croak
702 * Moose::Error::Confess
703 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
704 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
707 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
710 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
711 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
712 installing a broken sub. (doy)
715 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
718 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
719 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
720 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
722 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
723 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
724 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
725 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
726 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
728 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
729 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
732 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
734 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
735 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
738 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
739 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
741 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
742 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
743 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
744 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
747 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
748 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
749 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
750 using it for new code!
752 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
753 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
754 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
755 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
757 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
758 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
759 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
760 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
761 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
762 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
763 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
764 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
767 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
770 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
771 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
774 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
775 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
777 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
778 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
779 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
782 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
783 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
784 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
787 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
788 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
791 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
792 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
795 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
796 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
797 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
798 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
799 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
800 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
802 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
804 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
808 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
809 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
811 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
812 associated_methods. (hdp)
813 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
814 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
815 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
816 misspelled) arguments
818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
819 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
820 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
821 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
823 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
825 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
827 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
831 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
832 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
835 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
836 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
838 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
840 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
841 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
843 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
844 * Moose::Manual::Types
845 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
846 string parsing rathole (mst)
848 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
849 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
850 using plain objects instead
852 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
853 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
856 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
858 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
859 three times today (perigrin)
860 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
861 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
863 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
864 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
865 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
866 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
869 - A role's required methods are now represented by
870 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
871 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
872 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
873 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
874 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
877 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
878 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
879 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
880 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
883 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
885 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
888 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
890 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
893 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
894 during global destruction. This method has been made more
895 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
899 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
900 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
903 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
904 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
906 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
907 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
908 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
911 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
913 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
914 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
917 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
921 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
922 methods during global destruction (doy)
925 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
926 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
930 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
931 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
934 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
935 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
938 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
939 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
941 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
943 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
947 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
948 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
949 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
952 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
953 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
954 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
957 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
959 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
961 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
964 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
965 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
966 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
967 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
969 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
970 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
971 of the Moose core (Sartak)
974 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
977 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
978 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
979 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
983 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
984 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
987 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
989 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
992 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
993 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
996 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
997 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1000 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1001 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1004 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1007 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1009 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1010 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1013 * Moose::Meta::Class
1014 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1017 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1020 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1021 * More deprecations and renamings
1022 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1023 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1024 when an object is constructed)
1027 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1028 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1029 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1031 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1032 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1033 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1034 feature, and it works again.
1037 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1039 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1041 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1042 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1043 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1045 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1046 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1047 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1048 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1049 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1051 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1052 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1053 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1054 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1055 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1058 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1059 metaclass object. (hdp)
1061 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1062 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1063 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1064 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1065 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1066 point out this fact. (hdp)
1068 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1069 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1071 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1072 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1074 * Moose::Meta::Class
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1076 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1077 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1078 called during instance construction were passed the
1079 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1080 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1082 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1083 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1086 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1087 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1088 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1091 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1092 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1093 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1094 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1095 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1097 - Moose::Meta::Class
1098 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1100 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1101 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1102 when an object is constructed)
1103 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1105 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1106 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1107 when an object is constructed)
1108 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1109 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1110 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1113 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1115 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1116 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1118 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1120 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1121 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1122 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1124 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1125 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1126 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1128 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1130 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1131 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1133 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1134 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1137 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1138 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1141 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1142 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1143 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1145 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1146 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1150 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1151 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1152 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1154 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1155 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1158 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1159 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1160 with recommended workarounds.
1162 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1163 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1166 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1167 (yes, spelled like that).
1169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1170 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1172 * Moose::Meta::Class
1173 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1174 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1176 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1179 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1180 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1181 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1182 instead. Reported by doy.
1184 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1186 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1187 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1190 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1191 message) is now deprecated.
1192 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1193 often got it wrong. For example:
1195 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1197 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1201 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1202 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1203 bite you in weird cases.
1205 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1206 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1207 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1208 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1210 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1211 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1215 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1218 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1219 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1223 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1226 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1229 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1231 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1232 - added tests for this (stevan)
1234 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1235 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1236 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1237 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1241 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1242 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1243 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1244 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1246 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1247 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1248 - added tests for this (rafl)
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1251 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1252 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1253 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1257 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1258 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1261 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1262 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1263 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1265 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1267 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1268 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1270 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1271 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1272 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1273 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1274 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1276 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1277 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1278 error message did not specify the attribute name
1281 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1283 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1285 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1286 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1287 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1290 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1293 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1295 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1296 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1297 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1298 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1300 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1302 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1303 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1304 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1305 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1308 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1309 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1311 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1312 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1313 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1314 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1315 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1317 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1318 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1319 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1320 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1321 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1324 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1325 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1326 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1327 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1328 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1330 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1331 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1332 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1333 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1334 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1335 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1337 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1338 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1340 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1341 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1342 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1343 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1346 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1349 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1353 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1354 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1356 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1357 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1358 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1359 guts. (nothingmuch).
1361 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1362 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1363 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1366 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1367 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1368 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1370 * Moose::Meta::Class
1371 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1374 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1375 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1377 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1378 * Moose::Unsweetened
1379 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1382 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1383 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1384 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1385 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1386 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1387 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1389 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1390 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1391 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1392 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1393 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1394 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1395 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1396 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1397 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1398 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1400 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1402 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1403 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1406 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1407 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1408 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1410 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1411 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1412 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1413 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1414 same methods for a single role did not work
1415 right (worked just fine with multiple
1417 - added test for this (stevan)
1419 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1420 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1421 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1424 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1425 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1426 - added test for this (t0m)
1429 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1430 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1431 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1434 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1435 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1436 - added test for this (t0m)
1438 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1439 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1440 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1441 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1442 - added test for this (perigrin)
1445 - create method for constructing a role
1446 dynamically (Sartak)
1447 - added test for this (Sartak)
1448 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1449 - added test for this (Sartak)
1452 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1454 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1455 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1456 methods is useful (Sartak)
1458 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1460 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1463 * Moose::Meta::Class
1464 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1465 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1466 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1467 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1468 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1469 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1472 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1473 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1475 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1476 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1477 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1478 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1479 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1481 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1483 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1484 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1485 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1488 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1489 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1490 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1491 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1492 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1493 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1497 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1498 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1499 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1500 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1501 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1502 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1503 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1504 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1505 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1506 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1508 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1509 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1513 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1514 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1515 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1516 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1518 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1520 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1521 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1522 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1525 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1528 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1529 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1530 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1533 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1534 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1536 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1538 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1539 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1541 * Moose::Meta::Class
1542 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1543 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1544 a required attribute
1546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1548 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1549 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1552 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1555 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1556 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1557 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1558 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1559 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1560 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1561 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1563 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1564 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1565 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1567 * Roles and role application
1568 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1569 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1570 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1571 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1572 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1574 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1575 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1578 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1579 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1580 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1581 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1582 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1585 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1586 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1587 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1588 changes in the Moose internals.
1590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1591 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1592 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1596 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1597 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1598 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1601 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1602 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1603 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1606 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1607 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1608 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1609 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1610 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1611 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1612 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1613 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1614 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1615 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1616 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1617 constraint implementations.
1619 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1623 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1624 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1625 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1626 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1627 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1628 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1629 - added tests for this (rafl)
1631 * Moose::Meta::Class
1632 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1633 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1634 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1635 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1636 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1637 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1638 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1639 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1642 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1643 - added tests for this (thepler)
1645 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1646 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1647 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1648 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1651 * Moose::Meta::Class
1652 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1653 * Moose::Meta::Method
1656 * Moose::Error::Default
1657 * Moose::Error::Croak
1658 * Moose::Error::Confess
1659 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1660 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1661 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1662 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1663 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1664 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1666 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1668 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1669 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1671 * Moose::Unsweetened
1672 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1673 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1674 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1676 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1677 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1678 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1679 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1680 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1683 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1684 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1686 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1687 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1688 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1689 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1692 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1694 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1695 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1697 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1700 - Various bug fixes.
1702 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1703 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1705 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1707 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1708 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1709 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1710 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1711 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1712 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1714 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1715 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1716 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1718 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1719 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1720 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1723 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1724 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1725 dependency to 0.64_07.
1727 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1728 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1729 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1731 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1732 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1735 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1736 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1737 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1738 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1739 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1740 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1742 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1743 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1745 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1747 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1748 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1752 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1753 method when that method was provided by another role being
1754 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1755 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1757 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1759 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1760 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1763 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1764 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1765 - added test for this (t0m)
1767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1768 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1769 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1771 - added test for this (t0m)
1774 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1775 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1776 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1780 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1782 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1784 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1785 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1787 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1788 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1789 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1792 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1795 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1796 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1797 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1798 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1802 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1803 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1804 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1807 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1808 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1809 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1810 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1813 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1817 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1818 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1819 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1821 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1822 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1823 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1824 created so that the process can be more easily
1825 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1827 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1828 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1829 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1830 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1832 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1833 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1836 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1837 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1839 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1840 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1841 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1843 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1844 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1845 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1847 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1848 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1850 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1851 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1854 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1855 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1859 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1860 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1862 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1863 ... this is not my day today ...
1865 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1866 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1867 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1868 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1869 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1872 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1873 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1874 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1875 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1876 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1879 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1881 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1882 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1883 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1884 this is not ever something you want to do
1885 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1886 - added tests for this (stevan)
1889 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1891 - added test for this
1893 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1894 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1895 - added tests for this (wreis)
1897 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1898 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1899 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1900 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1902 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1903 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1904 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1907 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1909 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1911 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1914 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1915 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1916 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1917 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1918 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1919 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1920 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1921 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1922 - added tests for this
1924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1925 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1926 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1927 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1929 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1932 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1933 - added tests for this (sartak)
1934 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1935 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1938 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1940 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1941 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1943 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1944 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1945 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1946 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1948 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1950 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1951 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1954 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1955 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1956 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1959 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1960 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1962 - added docs for this (TODO).
1963 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1964 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1965 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1966 - fix builder and default both being used
1971 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1973 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1974 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1975 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1979 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1983 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1984 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1985 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1987 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1988 - move the ClassName type check code to
1989 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1991 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1992 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1994 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1995 (early morning release engineering)--
1997 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1998 which was causing the indexer to choke
2000 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2001 (late night release engineering)--
2003 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2004 changes in this release
2006 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2007 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2008 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2010 * Moose::Meta::Class
2011 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2012 since it is called so often by &meta
2014 * Moose::Meta::Class
2016 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2017 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2021 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2022 method for immutablization to check if the
2023 destructor object even needs to be created
2026 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2027 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2028 - added more descriptive error message to help
2029 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2030 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2032 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2034 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2035 XS based functionality is now optional
2036 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2037 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2038 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2040 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2041 to take care of this, mostly we added
2042 support for the package_name and name
2043 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2044 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2045 support regexp matching of names
2046 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2047 - tests added for this
2048 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2049 is currently not supported in roles,
2050 but, ... patches welcome
2051 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced

2057 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2058 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2062 - added test for this
2064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2112 ->body when looping through the
2113 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2115 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2116 eating the $@ values, and so not
2117 working correctly, it still kind of
2118 eats them, but so does vanilla perl

2141 drink more coffee before
2142 doing release engineering
2144 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2259 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2261 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2262 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2305 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2306 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2599 when they encounter overriden or modified
2600 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2601 - added tests for this
2603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2604 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2605 the | always creates a union and so is

2607 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2609 - added more tests for this
2611 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2614 * Parameterized Types
2615 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2616 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2617 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2618 They can also be nested:
2619 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2620 And work with the type unions as well:
2621 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2623 * Better Framework Extendability
2624 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2625 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2626 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2627 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2630 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2631 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2632 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2633 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2636 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2638 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2791 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2792 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2793 prototypes for functions
2794 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2795 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2810 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2811 - added tests for this
2813 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2815 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2841 so this release is just to fix that.
2844 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2845 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

2858 functions to facilitate introspection.
2860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2867 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2868 so that you can actually document your
2869 attributes and inspect them through the

2873 * Moose::Meta::Class
2874 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2875 it will first look in for the class in the
2876 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2877 then default to just loading $name.
2878 - added tests and docs for this
2880 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2881 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2882 - added test for this
2885 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2887 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2888 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2890 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2891 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2894 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2896 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2897 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2898 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2901 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2902 !! for this developer release to work !!
2904 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2905 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2906 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2907 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2908 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2909 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2910 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2911 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2912 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2913 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2914 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2916 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2917 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2918 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2919 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2922 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2923 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2924 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2925 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2926 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2928 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2930 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2931 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2934 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2935 called unless they actually need to be.
2936 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2937 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2938 DEMOLISH method present.
2940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2941 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2942 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2943 type constraint, which allows for a
2944 hand optimized version of the type
2945 constraint to be used when possible.
2946 - Any internally created type constraints
2947 now provide an optimized version as well.
2949 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2951 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2952 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2953 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2956 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2957 your class namespace of these exported
2960 * Moose::Meta::Class
2961 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2962 comes up during global destruction
2964 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2968 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2971 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2972 - changed how we do type checks so that
2973 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2976 - moved accessor generation methods to
2977 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2978 conform to the API changes from
2981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2982 - changed how constraints are compiled
2983 so that we do less recursion and more
2984 iteration. This makes the type check
2986 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2989 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2990 - created this from methods formerly found in
2991 Moose::Meta::Attribute

3004 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3005 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3006 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3007 - added tests for this
3008 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3009 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3010 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3011 - removed tests for this
3013 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3015 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3016 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3017 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3020 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3021 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3022 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3024 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3025 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3026 comments for more info.
3029 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3030 asked questions and common problems
3032 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3033 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3034 - added tests for this
3036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3037 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3038 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3039 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3041 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3042 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3045 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3046 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3047 is much appreciated :)
3048 - added tests for this
3050 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3051 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3052 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3055 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3056 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3058 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3060 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3061 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3065 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3066 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3067 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3069 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3071 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3074 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3075 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3076 keywords because we need to localize them.
3077 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3079 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3080 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3081 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3084 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3088 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3089 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3092 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3093 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3094 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3096 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3098 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3099 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3100 bottom of your class file.
3103 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3106 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3108 - improved error message when loading modules so
3109 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3110 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3111 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3114 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3115 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3116 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3118 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3119 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3121 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3122 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3123 turn them on for you.
3124 - added tests for this

3153 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3154 - This release works in combination with
3155 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3156 release because it uses the a new
3157 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3158 complete Role implementation. It has
3159 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3160 the the previous CPAN version. This
3161 release also lacks good updated docs,
3162 the official release will have updated docs.
3165 - refactored the keyword exports
3166 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3167 accepts more than one Role at a time

3173 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3174 accepts more than one Role at a time
3176 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3178 string enumerations which can be used as
3180 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3183 - more careful checking of params to new()
3186 - much work done on the role composition
3187 - many new tests for conflict detection
3188 and composition edge cases
3189 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3190 looking at the tests
3192 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3193 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3194 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3204 - some small changes to support the new
3206 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3207 with the 'handles' option

3215 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3216 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3217 on a per-attribute basis
3218 - added tests for this
