1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
7 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
8 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
9 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
10 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
15 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
18 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
22 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
23 to be overridden more easily (doy).
25 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
29 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
30 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
32 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
36 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
37 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
38 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
40 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
44 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
45 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
46 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
48 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
49 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
53 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
54 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
56 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
57 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
61 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
62 is applied to a class (t0m).
64 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
65 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
67 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
70 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
71 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
73 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
74 be much more robust. (doy)
76 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
78 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
81 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
85 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
86 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
88 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
92 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
93 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
95 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
98 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
99 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
100 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
102 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
103 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
104 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
107 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
109 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
113 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
114 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
118 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
120 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
125 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
129 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
130 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
134 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
136 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
140 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
141 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
145 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
146 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
150 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
151 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
153 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
157 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
158 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
159 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
162 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
166 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
167 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
168 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
169 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
171 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
175 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
176 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
177 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
181 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
184 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
189 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
190 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
194 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
195 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
197 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
198 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
199 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
200 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
202 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
206 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
210 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
211 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
213 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
214 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
215 - Moose::Util::does_role
216 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
217 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
218 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
220 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
224 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
225 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
226 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
229 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
233 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
234 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
237 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
241 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
242 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
245 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
249 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
251 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
252 class. (Dave Rolsky).
254 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
255 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
256 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
258 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
259 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
260 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
263 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
264 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
266 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
267 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
268 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
270 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
272 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
273 substr et al, again. (sorear)
275 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
277 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
280 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
281 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
283 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
284 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
286 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
287 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
288 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
289 dependencies installed.
291 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
292 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
295 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
297 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
301 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
304 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
305 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
308 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
309 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
311 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
312 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
315 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
316 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
317 others. (nothingmuch)
319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
320 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
321 remove_accessors. (doy)
323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
324 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
325 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
328 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
330 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
331 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
332 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
333 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
336 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
337 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
340 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
342 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
344 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
345 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
349 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
350 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
351 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
352 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
354 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
357 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
358 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
359 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
360 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
363 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
364 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
365 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
366 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
367 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
369 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
370 which were not receiving the value of
371 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
372 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
373 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
374 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
378 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
379 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
380 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
381 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
382 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
386 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
387 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
388 - added tests for this (Stevan)
391 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
392 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
393 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
396 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
398 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
401 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
402 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
405 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
406 class if you pass it options for
407 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
408 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
409 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
410 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
411 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
412 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
413 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
414 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
415 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
417 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
418 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
419 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
420 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
421 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
424 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
426 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
427 existing delegation API. (hdp)
429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
430 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
431 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
432 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
433 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
434 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
437 * Moose::Error::Croak
438 * Moose::Error::Confess
439 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
440 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
443 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
446 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
447 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
448 installing a broken sub. (doy)
451 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
454 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
455 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
456 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
458 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
459 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
460 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
461 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
462 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
465 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
468 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
470 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
471 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
474 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
475 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
477 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
479 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
480 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
482 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
483 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
484 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
485 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
486 using it for new code!
488 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
489 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
490 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
491 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
493 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
494 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
495 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
496 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
497 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
498 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
499 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
500 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
503 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
506 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
507 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
510 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
511 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
513 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
514 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
515 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
519 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
520 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
523 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
524 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
526 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
527 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
528 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
531 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
533 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
534 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
535 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
536 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
538 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
540 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
543 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
544 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
545 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
547 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
548 associated_methods. (hdp)
549 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
550 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
551 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
552 misspelled) arguments
554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
555 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
556 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
557 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
560 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
561 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
563 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
567 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
568 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
571 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
572 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
574 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
576 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
577 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
579 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
580 * Moose::Manual::Types
581 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
582 string parsing rathole (mst)
584 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
585 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
586 using plain objects instead
588 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
589 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
592 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
594 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
595 three times today (perigrin)
596 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
597 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
600 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
601 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
602 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
605 - A role's required methods are now represented by
606 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
607 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
608 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
609 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
610 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
613 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
614 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
615 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
616 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
619 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
621 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
624 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
626 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
629 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
630 during global destruction. This method has been made more
631 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
635 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
636 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
639 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
640 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
642 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
643 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
644 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
647 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
649 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
650 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
653 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
657 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
658 methods during global destruction (doy)
661 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
662 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
666 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
667 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
670 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
671 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
674 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
675 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
677 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
679 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
683 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
684 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
685 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
688 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
689 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
690 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
693 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
695 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
696 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
697 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
700 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
701 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
702 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
703 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
705 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
706 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
707 of the Moose core (Sartak)
710 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
713 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
714 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
715 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
719 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
720 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
723 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
725 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
728 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
729 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
732 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
733 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
736 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
737 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
740 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
743 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
746 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
750 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
752 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
753 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
756 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
757 * More deprecations and renamings
758 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
759 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
760 when an object is constructed)
763 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
764 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
765 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
768 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
769 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
770 feature, and it works again.
773 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
775 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
777 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
778 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
779 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
782 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
783 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
784 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
785 message. Test provided by perigrin.
787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
788 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
789 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
790 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
791 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
794 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
795 metaclass object. (hdp)
797 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
798 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
799 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
800 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
801 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
802 point out this fact. (hdp)
804 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
805 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
807 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
808 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
811 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
812 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
813 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
814 called during instance construction were passed the
815 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
816 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
818 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
819 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
822 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
823 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
824 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
827 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
828 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
829 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
830 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
831 them, but they are not for "public" use.
834 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
836 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
837 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
838 when an object is constructed)
839 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
841 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
842 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
843 when an object is constructed)
844 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
845 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
846 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
849 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
851 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
852 * No changes from 0.72_01.
854 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
856 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
857 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
858 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
861 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
862 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
864 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
866 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
867 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
869 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
870 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
873 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
874 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
877 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
878 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
879 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
882 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
886 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
887 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
888 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
890 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
891 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
894 * Moose::Manual::Delta
895 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
896 with recommended workarounds.
898 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
899 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
902 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
903 (yes, spelled like that).
905 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
906 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
909 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
910 changes in latest Class::MOP.
912 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
914 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
915 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
916 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
917 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
918 instead. Reported by doy.
920 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
922 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
923 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
926 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
927 message) is now deprecated.
928 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
929 often got it wrong. For example:
931 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
933 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
937 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
938 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
939 bite you in weird cases.
941 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
942 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
943 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
946 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
947 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
951 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
954 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
955 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
958 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
959 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
961 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
962 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
965 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
966 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
967 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
968 - added tests for this (stevan)
970 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
971 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
972 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
973 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
977 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
978 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
979 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
980 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
982 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
983 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
984 - added tests for this (rafl)
986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
987 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
988 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
989 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
993 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
994 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
997 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
998 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
999 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1001 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1003 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1004 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1006 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1007 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1008 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1009 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1010 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1013 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1014 error message did not specify the attribute name
1017 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1019 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1021 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1022 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1023 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1025 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1026 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1029 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1031 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1032 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1033 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1034 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1036 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1038 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1039 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1040 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1041 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1044 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1045 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1047 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1048 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1049 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1050 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1051 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1054 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1055 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1056 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1057 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1060 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1061 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1062 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1063 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1064 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1066 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1067 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1068 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1069 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1070 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1071 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1073 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1074 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1076 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1077 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1078 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1079 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1082 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1085 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1089 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1090 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1092 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1093 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1094 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1095 guts. (nothingmuch).
1097 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1098 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1099 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1102 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1103 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1104 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Class
1107 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1110 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1111 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1113 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1114 * Moose::Unsweetened
1115 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1118 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1119 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1120 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1121 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1122 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1123 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1126 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1127 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1128 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1129 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1130 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1131 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1132 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1133 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1134 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1136 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1138 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1139 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1142 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1143 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1144 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1146 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1147 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1148 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1149 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1150 same methods for a single role did not work
1151 right (worked just fine with multiple
1153 - added test for this (stevan)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1156 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1157 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1160 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1161 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1162 - added test for this (t0m)
1165 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1166 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1167 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1170 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1171 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1172 - added test for this (t0m)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1175 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1176 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1177 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1178 - added test for this (perigrin)
1181 - create method for constructing a role
1182 dynamically (Sartak)
1183 - added test for this (Sartak)
1184 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1185 - added test for this (Sartak)
1188 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1190 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1191 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1192 methods is useful (Sartak)
1194 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1196 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1199 * Moose::Meta::Class
1200 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1201 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1202 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1203 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1204 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1205 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1208 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1209 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1211 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1212 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1213 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1214 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1215 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1217 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1219 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1220 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1221 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1224 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1225 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1226 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1227 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1228 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1229 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1232 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1233 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1234 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1235 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1236 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1237 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1238 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1239 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1240 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1241 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1242 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1244 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1245 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1249 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1250 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1251 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1252 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1254 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1256 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1257 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1258 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1261 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1264 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1265 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1266 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1269 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1270 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1272 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1274 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1275 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Class
1278 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1279 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1280 a required attribute
1282 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1283 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1284 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1285 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1287 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1288 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1291 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1292 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1293 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1294 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1295 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1296 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1297 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1299 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1300 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1301 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1303 * Roles and role application
1304 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1305 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1306 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1307 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1308 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1310 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1311 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1314 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1315 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1316 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1317 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1318 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1321 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1322 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1323 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1324 changes in the Moose internals.
1326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1327 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1328 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1331 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1332 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1333 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1334 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1337 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1338 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1339 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1341 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1342 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1343 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1344 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1345 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1346 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1347 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1348 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1349 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1350 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1351 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1352 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1353 constraint implementations.
1355 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1359 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1360 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1361 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1362 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1363 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1364 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1365 - added tests for this (rafl)
1367 * Moose::Meta::Class
1368 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1369 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1370 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1371 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1372 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1373 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1374 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1375 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1378 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1379 - added tests for this (thepler)
1381 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1382 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1383 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1384 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1387 * Moose::Meta::Class
1388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1389 * Moose::Meta::Method
1392 * Moose::Error::Default
1393 * Moose::Error::Croak
1394 * Moose::Error::Confess
1395 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1396 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1397 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1398 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1399 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1400 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1402 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1404 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1405 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1407 * Moose::Unsweetened
1408 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1409 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1410 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1413 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1414 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1415 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1416 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1419 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1420 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1422 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1423 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1424 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1425 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1451 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1452 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

1464 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1465 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1468 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1471 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1472 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1473 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1474 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1475 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1476 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1478 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1479 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1481 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1483 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1484 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1488 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1489 method when that method was provided by another role being
1490 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1491 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1493 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1500 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1501 - added test for this (t0m)
1503 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1504 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1505 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1507 - added test for this (t0m)
1510 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1511 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1512 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1515 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1516 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1518 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1520 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1521 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1523 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1524 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1525 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)

1534 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1538 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1539 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1540 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1544 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1545 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1546 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1549 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1553 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1555 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1557 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1558 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1559 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1560 created so that the process can be more easily
1561 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1590 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1591 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1595 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1596 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1598 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1599 ... this is not my day today ...
1601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1602 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1603 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1604 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1605 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1608 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1609 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1610 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1611 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1612 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1615 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1617 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1618 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1619 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1620 this is not ever something you want to do
1621 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1622 - added tests for this (stevan)
1625 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1627 - added test for this

1640 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1643 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1645 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1647 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1650 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1651 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1652 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1653 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1654 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1655 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1656 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1657 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1658 - added tests for this
1660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1661 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1662 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1663 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1756 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1757 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1758 method for immutablization to check if the
1759 destructor object even needs to be created
1762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1763 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1764 - added more descriptive error message to help
1765 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1766 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1768 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1770 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1771 XS based functionality is now optional
1772 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1773 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1774 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1776 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1777 to take care of this, mostly we added
1778 support for the package_name and name

1781 support regexp matching of names
1782 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1784 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1785 is currently not supported in roles,
1786 but, ... patches welcome

1788 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1789 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1794 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1795 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

1798 - added test for this
1800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1847 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1848 ->body when looping through the
1849 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1851 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1852 eating the $@ values, and so not
1853 working correctly, it still kind of
1854 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1855 - added tests for this
1857 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1858 - added new recipe for immutable
1859 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1877 drink more coffee before
1878 doing release engineering
1880 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1995 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1997 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2037 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2288 - added tests for this
2291 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2292 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2335 when they encounter overriden or modified
2336 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2337 - added tests for this
2339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2345 - added more tests for this
2347 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2350 * Parameterized Types
2351 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2352 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2353 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2354 They can also be nested:
2355 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2356 And work with the type unions as well:
2357 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2359 * Better Framework Extendability
2360 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2361 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2362 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2363 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2366 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2367 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2368 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2369 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2372 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2374 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2375 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2603 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2604 so that you can actually document your
2605 attributes and inspect them through the

2609 * Moose::Meta::Class
2610 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2611 it will first look in for the class in the

2616 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2617 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2618 - added test for this

2626 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2627 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2630 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2632 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2633 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2634 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2637 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2638 !! for this developer release to work !!
2640 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2641 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2642 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2643 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2644 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2645 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2646 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2647 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2648 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2649 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2650 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2652 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2653 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2654 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2655 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2658 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2659 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2660 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2661 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2662 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2664 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2666 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2667 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2670 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2671 called unless they actually need to be.
2672 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2673 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2674 DEMOLISH method present.
2676 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2677 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2678 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2679 type constraint, which allows for a
2680 hand optimized version of the type
2681 constraint to be used when possible.
2682 - Any internally created type constraints
2683 now provide an optimized version as well.
2685 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2687 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2688 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2689 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2692 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2693 your class namespace of these exported
2696 * Moose::Meta::Class
2697 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2698 comes up during global destruction
2700 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2704 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2707 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2708 - changed how we do type checks so that
2709 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2712 - moved accessor generation methods to
2713 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2714 conform to the API changes from
2717 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2718 - changed how constraints are compiled
2719 so that we do less recursion and more
2720 iteration. This makes the type check
2722 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2725 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2726 - created this from methods formerly found in
2727 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2729 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2730 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2732 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2733 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class

2740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2741 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2742 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2743 - added tests for this
2744 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2745 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2746 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2747 - removed tests for this
2749 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2751 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2752 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2753 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2756 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2757 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2758 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2760 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2761 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2762 comments for more info.
2765 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2766 asked questions and common problems
2768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2769 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2770 - added tests for this
2772 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2773 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2774 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2775 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2777 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2778 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2781 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2782 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2783 is much appreciated :)
2784 - added tests for this
2786 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2787 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2788 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2791 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2792 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2794 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2796 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2797 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2801 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2802 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2803 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2805 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2807 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2810 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2811 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2812 keywords because we need to localize them.
2813 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2815 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2816 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2817 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2820 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2823 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2824 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2825 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2828 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2829 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2830 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2832 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2834 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2835 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2836 bottom of your class file.
2839 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2842 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2844 - improved error message when loading modules so
2845 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2846 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2847 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2850 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2851 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2852 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2854 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2855 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2857 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2858 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2859 turn them on for you.
2860 - added tests for this
2861 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2862 in Moose::Meta::Class
2865 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2866 automatically turned on for you.

2885 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2888 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2889 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2890 - This release works in combination with
2891 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2892 release because it uses the a new
2893 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2894 complete Role implementation. It has
2895 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2896 the the previous CPAN version. This
2897 release also lacks good updated docs,
2898 the official release will have updated docs.
2901 - refactored the keyword exports
2902 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2903 accepts more than one Role at a time
2904 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2905 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2908 - refactored the keyword exports
2909 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2910 accepts more than one Role at a time
2912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2913 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2914 string enumerations which can be used as
2916 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2919 - more careful checking of params to new()
2922 - much work done on the role composition
2923 - many new tests for conflict detection
2924 and composition edge cases
2925 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2926 looking at the tests
2928 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2929 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2930 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2932 * Moose::Meta::Class
2933 - some small changes to support the new
2935 - some small additions to support Roles
2937 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2938 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2940 - some small changes to support the new
2942 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2943 with the 'handles' option
2944 - added several tests for this
2945 - no docs for this yet
2947 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2949 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2950 thanks to chansen for this commit
2951 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2952 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2953 on a per-attribute basis
2954 - added tests for this
2955 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2956 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2957 experimental feature and probably not finished

2959 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2960 - added tests for this

3022 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3024 - added test for this
