1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
9 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
10 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
12 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values or "is"
13 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
14 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
17 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
18 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
19 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
21 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
22 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
23 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
27 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
28 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
29 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
31 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
32 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
33 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
34 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
38 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
39 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
42 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
43 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
45 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
49 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
50 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
51 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
53 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
57 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
58 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
62 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
63 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
64 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
66 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
67 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
68 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
70 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
74 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
76 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
80 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
82 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
83 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
88 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
89 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
91 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
92 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
93 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
94 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
97 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
98 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
99 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
100 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
102 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
106 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
107 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
112 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
114 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
116 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
121 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
123 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
127 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
128 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
129 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
131 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
132 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
133 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
134 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
136 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
137 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
138 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
139 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
140 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
143 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
148 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
149 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
150 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
151 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
152 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
155 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
159 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
162 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
163 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
167 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
168 function (not just method). (doy)
172 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
173 and aren't easily installable/testable.
175 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
179 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
180 to be overridden more easily (doy).
182 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
186 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
187 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
189 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
193 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
194 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
195 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
197 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
201 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
202 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
203 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
205 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
206 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
210 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
211 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
213 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
214 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
218 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
219 is applied to a class (t0m).
221 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
222 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
224 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
227 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
228 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
230 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
231 be much more robust. (doy)
233 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
235 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
238 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
242 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
243 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
245 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
249 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
250 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
252 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
255 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
256 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
257 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
259 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
260 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
261 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
264 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
266 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
270 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
271 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
275 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
277 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
282 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
286 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
287 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
291 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
293 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
297 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
298 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
302 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
303 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
307 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
308 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
310 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
314 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
315 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
316 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
319 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
323 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
324 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
325 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
326 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
328 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
332 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
333 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
334 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
338 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
341 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
345 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
346 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
347 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
351 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
352 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
354 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
355 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
356 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
357 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
359 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
363 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
367 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
368 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
370 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
371 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
372 - Moose::Util::does_role
373 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
374 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
375 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
377 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
381 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
382 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
383 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
386 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
390 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
391 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
394 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
398 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
399 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
402 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
406 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
408 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
409 class. (Dave Rolsky).
411 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
412 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
413 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
416 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
417 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
420 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
421 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
423 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
424 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
425 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
427 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
429 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
430 substr et al, again. (sorear)
432 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
434 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
437 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
438 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
440 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
441 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
443 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
444 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
445 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
446 dependencies installed.
448 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
449 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
452 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
454 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
458 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
461 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
462 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
464 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
465 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
466 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
468 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
469 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
472 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
473 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
474 others. (nothingmuch)
476 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
477 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
478 remove_accessors. (doy)
480 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
481 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
482 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
484 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
485 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
487 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
488 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
489 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
490 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
493 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
494 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
497 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
499 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
501 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
502 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
505 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
506 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
507 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
508 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
509 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
511 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
512 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
514 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
515 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
516 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
517 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
520 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
521 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
522 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
523 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
524 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
526 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
527 which were not receiving the value of
528 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
529 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
530 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
531 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
535 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
536 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
537 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
538 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
539 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
543 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
544 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
545 - added tests for this (Stevan)
548 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
549 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
550 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
553 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
554 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
555 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
558 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
559 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
562 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
563 class if you pass it options for
564 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
565 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
566 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
567 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
568 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
569 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
570 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
571 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
572 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
574 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
575 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
576 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
577 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
578 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
581 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
582 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
583 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
584 existing delegation API. (hdp)
586 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
587 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
588 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
589 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
590 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
591 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
594 * Moose::Error::Croak
595 * Moose::Error::Confess
596 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
597 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
600 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
603 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
604 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
605 installing a broken sub. (doy)
608 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
611 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
612 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
613 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
615 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
616 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
617 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
618 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
619 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
621 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
622 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
625 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
627 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
628 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
631 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
632 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
635 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
636 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
637 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
640 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
641 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
642 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
643 using it for new code!
645 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
646 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
647 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
648 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
650 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
651 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
652 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
653 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
654 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
655 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
656 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
657 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
660 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
663 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
664 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
668 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
671 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
672 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
675 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
676 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
677 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
680 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
681 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
684 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
685 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
688 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
690 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
691 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
692 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
693 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
695 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
697 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
700 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
701 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
702 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
704 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
705 associated_methods. (hdp)
706 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
707 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
708 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
709 misspelled) arguments
711 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
712 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
713 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
714 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
716 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
717 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
718 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
720 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
724 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
725 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
728 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
729 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
731 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
733 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
734 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
736 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
737 * Moose::Manual::Types
738 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
739 string parsing rathole (mst)
741 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
742 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
743 using plain objects instead
745 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
746 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
749 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
751 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
752 three times today (perigrin)
753 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
754 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
756 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
757 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
758 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
759 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
762 - A role's required methods are now represented by
763 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
764 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
765 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
766 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
767 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
770 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
771 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
772 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
773 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
776 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
778 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
781 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
783 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
786 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
787 during global destruction. This method has been made more
788 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
792 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
793 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
796 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
797 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
799 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
800 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
801 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
804 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
806 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
807 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
810 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
814 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
815 methods during global destruction (doy)
818 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
819 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
823 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
824 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
827 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
828 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
831 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
832 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
834 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
836 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
840 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
841 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
842 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
845 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
846 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
847 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
850 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
852 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
853 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
854 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
857 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
858 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
859 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
860 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
862 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
863 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
864 of the Moose core (Sartak)
867 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
870 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
871 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
872 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
876 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
877 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
880 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
882 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
885 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
886 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
889 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
890 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
893 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
894 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
897 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
900 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
903 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
907 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
909 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
910 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
913 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
914 * More deprecations and renamings
915 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
916 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
917 when an object is constructed)
920 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
921 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
922 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
925 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
926 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
927 feature, and it works again.
930 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
932 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
934 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
935 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
936 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
938 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
939 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
940 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
941 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
942 message. Test provided by perigrin.
944 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
945 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
946 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
947 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
948 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
951 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
952 metaclass object. (hdp)
954 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
955 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
956 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
957 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
958 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
959 point out this fact. (hdp)
961 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
962 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
964 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
965 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
968 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
969 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
970 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
971 called during instance construction were passed the
972 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
973 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
975 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
976 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
979 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
980 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
981 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
984 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
985 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
986 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
987 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
988 them, but they are not for "public" use.
991 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
993 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
994 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
995 when an object is constructed)
996 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
998 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
999 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1000 when an object is constructed)
1001 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1002 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1003 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1006 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1008 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1009 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1011 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1013 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1014 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1015 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1017 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1018 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1019 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1021 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1023 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1024 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1026 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1027 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1030 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1031 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1034 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1035 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1036 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1038 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1039 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1043 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1044 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1045 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1047 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1048 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1051 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1052 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1053 with recommended workarounds.
1055 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1056 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1059 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1060 (yes, spelled like that).
1062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1063 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1065 * Moose::Meta::Class
1066 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1067 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1069 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1071 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1072 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1073 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1074 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1075 instead. Reported by doy.
1077 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1079 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1080 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1082 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1083 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1084 message) is now deprecated.
1085 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1086 often got it wrong. For example:
1088 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1090 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1094 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1095 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1096 bite you in weird cases.
1098 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1099 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1100 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1101 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1103 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1104 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1108 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1111 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1112 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1115 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1116 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1118 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1119 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1122 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1123 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1124 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1125 - added tests for this (stevan)
1127 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1128 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1129 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1130 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1134 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1135 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1136 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1137 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1139 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1140 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1141 - added tests for this (rafl)
1143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1144 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1145 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1146 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1150 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1151 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1154 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1155 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1156 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1158 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1160 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1161 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1163 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1164 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1165 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1166 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1167 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1170 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1171 error message did not specify the attribute name
1174 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1176 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1178 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1179 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1180 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1182 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1183 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1186 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1188 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1189 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1190 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1191 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1193 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1195 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1196 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1197 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1198 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1201 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1202 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1205 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1206 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1207 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1208 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1210 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1211 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1212 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1213 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1214 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1217 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1218 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1219 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1220 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1221 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1223 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1224 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1225 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1226 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1227 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1228 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1231 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1233 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1234 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1235 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1236 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1239 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1242 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1246 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1247 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1249 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1250 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1251 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1252 guts. (nothingmuch).
1254 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1256 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1259 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1260 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1261 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1263 * Moose::Meta::Class
1264 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1267 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1268 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1270 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1271 * Moose::Unsweetened
1272 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1275 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1276 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1277 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1278 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1279 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1280 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1283 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1284 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1285 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1286 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1287 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1288 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1289 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1290 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1291 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1293 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1295 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1296 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1299 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1300 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1301 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1304 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1305 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1306 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1307 same methods for a single role did not work
1308 right (worked just fine with multiple
1310 - added test for this (stevan)
1312 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1313 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1314 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1317 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1318 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1319 - added test for this (t0m)
1322 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1323 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1324 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1327 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1328 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1329 - added test for this (t0m)
1331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1332 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1333 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1334 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1335 - added test for this (perigrin)
1338 - create method for constructing a role
1339 dynamically (Sartak)
1340 - added test for this (Sartak)
1341 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1342 - added test for this (Sartak)
1345 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1347 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1348 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1349 methods is useful (Sartak)
1351 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1353 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1356 * Moose::Meta::Class
1357 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1358 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1359 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1360 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1361 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1362 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1365 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1366 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1368 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1369 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1370 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1371 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1372 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1374 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1376 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1377 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1378 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1381 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1382 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1383 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1384 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1385 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1386 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1389 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1390 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1391 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1392 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1393 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1394 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1395 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1396 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1397 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1398 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1399 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1401 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1402 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1405 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1406 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1407 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1408 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1409 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1411 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1413 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1414 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1415 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1418 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1420 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1421 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1422 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1423 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1426 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1427 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1429 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1431 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1432 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1434 * Moose::Meta::Class
1435 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1436 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1437 a required attribute
1439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1440 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1441 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1442 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1444 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1445 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1448 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1449 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1450 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1451 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1452 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1453 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1454 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1456 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1457 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1458 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1460 * Roles and role application
1461 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1462 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1463 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1464 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1465 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1467 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1468 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1471 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1472 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1473 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1474 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1475 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1478 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1479 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1480 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1481 changes in the Moose internals.
1483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1484 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1485 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1489 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1490 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1491 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1493 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1494 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1495 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1496 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1498 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1499 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1500 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1501 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1502 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1503 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1504 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1505 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1506 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1507 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1508 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1509 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1510 constraint implementations.
1512 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1516 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1517 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1518 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1519 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1520 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1521 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1522 - added tests for this (rafl)
1524 * Moose::Meta::Class
1525 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1526 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1527 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1528 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1529 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1530 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1531 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1532 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1535 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1536 - added tests for this (thepler)
1538 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1539 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1540 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1541 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1544 * Moose::Meta::Class
1545 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1546 * Moose::Meta::Method
1549 * Moose::Error::Default
1550 * Moose::Error::Croak
1551 * Moose::Error::Confess
1552 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1553 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1554 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1555 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1556 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1557 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1559 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1561 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1562 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1564 * Moose::Unsweetened
1565 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1566 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1567 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1570 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1571 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1572 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1573 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1576 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1577 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1579 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1580 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1581 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1582 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1585 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1587 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1588 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1590 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1593 - Various bug fixes.
1595 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1596 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1598 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1600 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1601 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1602 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1603 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1604 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1605 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1608 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1609 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1611 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1612 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1613 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1616 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1617 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1618 dependency to 0.64_07.
1620 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1621 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1622 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1625 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1628 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1629 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1630 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1631 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1632 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1633 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1636 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1638 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1640 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1641 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1645 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1646 method when that method was provided by another role being
1647 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1648 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1650 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1652 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1653 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1656 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1657 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1658 - added test for this (t0m)
1660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1661 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1662 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1664 - added test for this (t0m)
1667 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1668 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1669 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1672 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1673 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1675 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1677 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1678 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1680 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1681 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1682 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1684 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1685 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1689 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1690 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1691 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1695 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1696 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1697 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1700 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1701 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1702 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1703 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1706 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1710 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1711 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1712 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1714 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1716 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1717 created so that the process can be more easily
1718 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1722 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1723 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1726 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1729 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1730 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1733 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1734 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1737 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1738 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1740 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1741 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1743 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1744 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1747 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1748 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1752 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1753 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1755 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1756 ... this is not my day today ...
1758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1759 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1760 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1761 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1762 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1765 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1766 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1767 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1768 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1769 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1772 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1774 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1775 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1776 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1777 this is not ever something you want to do
1778 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1779 - added tests for this (stevan)
1782 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1784 - added test for this
1786 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1787 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1788 - added tests for this (wreis)
1790 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1791 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1792 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1793 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1795 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1796 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1797 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1800 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1802 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1804 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1807 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1808 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1809 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1810 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1811 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1812 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1813 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1814 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1815 - added tests for this
1817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1818 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1819 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1820 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1822 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1825 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1826 - added tests for this (sartak)
1827 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1828 install_delegation method (Stevan)

1852 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1853 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1855 - added docs for this (TODO).
1856 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1857 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1858 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1876 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1877 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1878 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1880 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1881 - move the ClassName type check code to
1882 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1884 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1885 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1887 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1888 (early morning release engineering)--
1890 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1891 which was causing the indexer to choke
1893 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1894 (late night release engineering)--
1896 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1897 changes in this release
1899 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1900 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1901 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1903 * Moose::Meta::Class
1904 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1905 since it is called so often by &meta
1907 * Moose::Meta::Class
1909 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1910 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1914 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1915 method for immutablization to check if the
1916 destructor object even needs to be created
1919 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1920 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1921 - added more descriptive error message to help
1922 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1923 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1925 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1927 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1928 XS based functionality is now optional
1929 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1930 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1931 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1933 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1934 to take care of this, mostly we added
1935 support for the package_name and name
1936 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1937 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1938 support regexp matching of names
1939 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1940 - tests added for this
1941 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1942 is currently not supported in roles,
1943 but, ... patches welcome
1944 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1945 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1946 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1949 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1950 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1951 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1952 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1953 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1954 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1955 - added test for this
1957 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1958 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1959 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1962 * Moose::Meta::Class
1963 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1967 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1969 - added tests for this
1970 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1971 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1973 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1974 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1975 themselves parameterizable types
1977 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1978 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1979 called by the inlined immutable
1981 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1983 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1984 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1985 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1986 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1988 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1989 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1993 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1994 causing occasional cpantester failures

1996 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1998 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2000 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2001 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2004 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2005 ->body when looping through the
2006 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2008 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2009 eating the $@ values, and so not
2010 working correctly, it still kind of
2011 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2012 - added tests for this
2014 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2015 - added new recipe for immutable
2016 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2018 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2019 - added new recipe for builder and
2020 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2022 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2023 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2024 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2027 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2029 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2030 since Module::Install has done that.
2032 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2034 drink more coffee before
2035 doing release engineering
2037 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2038 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2039 modules. This fixes that.
2041 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2042 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2043 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2045 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2046 since we have tests which need the C3
2049 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2050 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2052 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2053 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2055 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2056 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2057 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2058 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2064 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2065 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2067 * Moose::Meta::Class
2068 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2069 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the

2152 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2154 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2155 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2445 - added tests for this
2448 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2449 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2491 - fixed how required methods are handled
2492 when they encounter overriden or modified
2493 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2494 - added tests for this
2496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2497 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2498 the | always creates a union and so is
2499 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2500 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

2504 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2507 * Parameterized Types
2508 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2509 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2510 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2511 They can also be nested:
2512 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2513 And work with the type unions as well:
2514 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2516 * Better Framework Extendability
2517 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2518 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2519 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2520 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2523 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2524 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2525 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2526 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2734 so this release is just to fix that.
2737 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2738 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2739 (thanks to konobi for this)
2740 - added tests and docs
2742 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2743 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2746 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2747 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2748 - added tests for this
2749 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2750 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2751 functions to facilitate introspection.
2753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2754 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2755 to build the list of delegated methods
2756 correctly (and not override important
2757 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2759 - added tests and docs for this
2760 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2761 so that you can actually document your
2762 attributes and inspect them through the
2764 - added tests and docs for this
2766 * Moose::Meta::Class
2767 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2768 it will first look in for the class in the
2769 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2770 then default to just loading $name.
2771 - added tests and docs for this
2773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2774 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2775 - added test for this
2778 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2779 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2780 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2781 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2783 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2784 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2787 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2789 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2790 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2791 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2794 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2795 !! for this developer release to work !!
2797 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2798 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2799 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2800 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2801 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2802 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2803 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2804 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2805 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2806 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2807 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2809 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2810 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2811 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2812 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2815 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2817 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2818 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2819 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2821 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2823 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2824 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2827 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2828 called unless they actually need to be.
2829 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2830 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2831 DEMOLISH method present.
2833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2834 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2835 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2836 type constraint, which allows for a
2837 hand optimized version of the type
2838 constraint to be used when possible.
2839 - Any internally created type constraints
2840 now provide an optimized version as well.
2842 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2844 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2845 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2846 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2849 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2850 your class namespace of these exported
2853 * Moose::Meta::Class
2854 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2855 comes up during global destruction
2857 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2861 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2864 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2865 - changed how we do type checks so that
2866 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2869 - moved accessor generation methods to
2870 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2871 conform to the API changes from
2874 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2875 - changed how constraints are compiled
2876 so that we do less recursion and more
2877 iteration. This makes the type check
2879 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2883 - created this from methods formerly found in
2884 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2886 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2887 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2889 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2890 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2892 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2893 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2895 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2897 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2898 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2899 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2900 - added tests for this
2901 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2902 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2903 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2904 - removed tests for this
2906 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2908 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2909 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2910 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2913 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2914 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2915 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2917 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2918 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2919 comments for more info.
2922 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2923 asked questions and common problems
2925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2926 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2927 - added tests for this
2929 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2930 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2931 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2932 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2934 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2935 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2938 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2939 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2940 is much appreciated :)
2941 - added tests for this
2943 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2944 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2945 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2948 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2949 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2951 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2953 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2954 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2958 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2959 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2960 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2962 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2964 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2967 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2968 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2969 keywords because we need to localize them.
2970 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2972 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2973 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2974 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2977 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2980 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2981 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2982 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2985 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2986 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2987 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2989 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2991 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2992 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2993 bottom of your class file.
2996 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2999 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3001 - improved error message when loading modules so
3002 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3003 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3004 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3007 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3008 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3009 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3011 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3012 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3014 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3015 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3016 turn them on for you.
3017 - added tests for this

3046 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3047 - This release works in combination with
3048 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3049 release because it uses the a new
3050 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3051 complete Role implementation. It has
3052 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3053 the the previous CPAN version. This
3054 release also lacks good updated docs,
3055 the official release will have updated docs.
3058 - refactored the keyword exports
3059 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3060 accepts more than one Role at a time

3071 string enumerations which can be used as
3073 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3076 - more careful checking of params to new()
3079 - much work done on the role composition
3080 - many new tests for conflict detection
3081 and composition edge cases
3082 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3083 looking at the tests
3085 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3086 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3087 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3108 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3109 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3110 on a per-attribute basis
3111 - added tests for this
3112 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3113 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
