1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
9 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
10 during global destruction. This method has been made more
11 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
15 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
16 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
18 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
19 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
20 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
23 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
25 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
26 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
29 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
33 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
34 methods during global destruction (doy)
37 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
38 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
42 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
43 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
46 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
47 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
50 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
51 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
55 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
59 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
60 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
61 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
64 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
65 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
66 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
69 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
70 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
73 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
74 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
75 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
78 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
79 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
80 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
81 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
83 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
84 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
85 of the Moose core (Sartak)
88 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
91 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
92 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
93 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
97 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
98 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
101 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
103 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
106 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
107 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
110 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
111 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
114 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
115 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
118 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
121 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
123 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
124 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
128 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
130 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
131 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
134 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
135 * More deprecations and renamings
136 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
137 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
138 when an object is constructed)
141 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
142 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
143 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
145 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
146 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
147 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
148 feature, and it works again.
151 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
153 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
155 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
156 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
157 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
159 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
160 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
161 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
162 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
163 message. Test provided by perigrin.
165 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
166 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
167 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
168 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
169 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
172 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
173 metaclass object. (hdp)
175 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
176 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
177 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
178 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
179 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
180 point out this fact. (hdp)
182 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
183 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
185 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
186 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
190 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
191 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
192 called during instance construction were passed the
193 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
194 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
196 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
197 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
200 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
201 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
202 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
205 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
206 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
207 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
208 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
209 them, but they are not for "public" use.
212 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
214 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
215 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
216 when an object is constructed)
217 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
219 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
220 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
221 when an object is constructed)
222 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
223 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
224 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
227 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
229 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
230 * No changes from 0.72_01.
232 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
234 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
235 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
236 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
239 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
240 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
242 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
244 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
245 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
247 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
248 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
251 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
252 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
255 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
256 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
257 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
260 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
264 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
265 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
266 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
269 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
272 * Moose::Manual::Delta
273 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
274 with recommended workarounds.
276 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
277 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
280 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
281 (yes, spelled like that).
283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
284 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
287 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
288 changes in latest Class::MOP.
290 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
292 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
293 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
294 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
295 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
296 instead. Reported by doy.
298 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
300 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
301 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
303 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
304 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
305 message) is now deprecated.
306 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
307 often got it wrong. For example:
309 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
311 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
315 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
316 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
317 bite you in weird cases.
319 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
320 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
321 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
324 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
325 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
329 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
332 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
333 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
336 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
337 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
339 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
340 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
343 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
345 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
346 - added tests for this (stevan)
348 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
349 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
350 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
351 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
355 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
356 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
357 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
358 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
360 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
361 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
362 - added tests for this (rafl)
364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
365 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
366 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
367 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
371 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
372 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
375 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
376 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
377 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
379 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
381 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
382 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
385 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
386 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
387 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
388 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
390 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
391 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
392 error message did not specify the attribute name
395 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
397 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
399 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
400 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
401 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
404 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
407 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
409 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
410 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
411 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
412 of fixes and formatting improvements.
414 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
416 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
417 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
418 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
419 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
421 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
422 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
423 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
425 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
426 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
427 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
428 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
429 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
432 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
433 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
434 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
435 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
438 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
439 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
440 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
441 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
442 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
444 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
445 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
446 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
447 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
448 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
449 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
451 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
452 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
454 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
455 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
456 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
457 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
459 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
460 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
463 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
467 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
468 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
470 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
471 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
472 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
475 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
477 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
480 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
481 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
482 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
485 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
488 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
489 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
491 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
493 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
496 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
497 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
498 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
499 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
500 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
501 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
504 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
505 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
506 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
507 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
508 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
509 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
510 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
511 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
512 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
514 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
516 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
517 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
520 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
521 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
522 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
524 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
525 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
526 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
527 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
528 same methods for a single role did not work
529 right (worked just fine with multiple
531 - added test for this (stevan)
533 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
534 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
535 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
538 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
539 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
540 - added test for this (t0m)
543 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
544 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
545 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
547 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
548 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
549 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
550 - added test for this (t0m)
552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
553 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
554 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
555 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
556 - added test for this (perigrin)
559 - create method for constructing a role
561 - added test for this (Sartak)
562 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
563 - added test for this (Sartak)
566 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
568 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
569 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
570 methods is useful (Sartak)
572 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
573 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
574 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
578 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
579 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
580 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
581 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
582 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
583 - added tests for this (jdv79)
586 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
587 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
589 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
590 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
591 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
592 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
593 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
595 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
597 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
598 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
599 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
602 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
603 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
604 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
605 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
606 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
607 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
611 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
612 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
613 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
614 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
615 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
616 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
617 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
618 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
619 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
620 future. (jnapiorkowski)
622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
623 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
626 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
627 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
628 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
629 type. (jnapiorkowski)
630 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
632 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
634 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
635 predicate, and link to more details sections in
636 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
638 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
639 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
642 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
643 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
644 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
647 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
648 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
650 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
652 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
653 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
656 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
657 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
661 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
662 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
663 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
665 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
666 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
669 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
670 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
671 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
672 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
673 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
674 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
675 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
677 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
678 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
679 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
681 * Roles and role application
682 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
683 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
684 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
685 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
686 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
688 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
689 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
692 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
693 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
694 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
695 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
696 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
699 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
700 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
701 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
702 changes in the Moose internals.
704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
705 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
706 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
709 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
710 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
711 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
712 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
715 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
716 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
717 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
719 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
720 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
721 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
722 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
723 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
724 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
725 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
726 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
727 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
728 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
729 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
730 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
731 constraint implementations.
733 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
737 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
738 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
739 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
740 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
741 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
742 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
743 - added tests for this (rafl)
746 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
747 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
748 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
749 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
750 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
751 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
752 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
753 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
756 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
757 - added tests for this (thepler)
759 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
760 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
761 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
762 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
766 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
767 * Moose::Meta::Method
770 * Moose::Error::Default
771 * Moose::Error::Croak
772 * Moose::Error::Confess
773 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
774 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
775 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
776 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
777 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
778 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
780 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
782 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
783 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
786 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
787 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
788 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
791 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
792 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
793 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
794 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
797 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
798 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
800 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
801 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
802 several major changes in this release of Moose.

845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
846 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
849 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
850 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
851 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
852 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
853 coincidental exception. (t0m).
854 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
856 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
857 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
859 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
861 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
862 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
866 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
867 method when that method was provided by another role being

878 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
879 - added test for this (t0m)
881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

883 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
885 - added test for this (t0m)
888 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
889 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
890 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
893 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
894 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
896 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
898 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
901 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
902 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
903 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
905 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
906 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
909 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
910 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

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

922 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
923 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
924 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
927 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
931 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

954 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
955 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

974 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
976 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
977 ... this is not my day today ...
979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
980 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
981 clone_and_inherit options still works for
982 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
983 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
986 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
987 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
988 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
989 in this release, except the fact that it includes
990 the changes that I didn't include in the last
993 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
995 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
996 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
997 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
998 this is not ever something you want to do
999 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1000 - added tests for this (stevan)
1003 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1005 - added test for this

1025 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1028 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1029 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1030 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1031 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1032 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1033 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1034 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1035 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 - added tests for this
1038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1039 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1040 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1041 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1112 which was causing the indexer to choke
1114 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1115 (late night release engineering)--
1117 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1118 changes in this release
1120 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1121 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1122 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

1126 since it is called so often by &meta
1128 * Moose::Meta::Class

1131 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1135 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1136 method for immutablization to check if the
1137 destructor object even needs to be created

1141 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1142 - added more descriptive error message to help
1143 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1144 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1146 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1148 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1149 XS based functionality is now optional
1150 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1151 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1152 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1154 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1155 to take care of this, mostly we added
1156 support for the package_name and name
1157 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1158 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1159 support regexp matching of names
1160 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1161 - tests added for this
1162 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1163 is currently not supported in roles,
1164 but, ... patches welcome

1171 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1172 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1173 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1174 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1175 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1176 - added test for this
1178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1200 called by the inlined immutable
1202 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1205 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1206 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1207 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1209 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1210 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1214 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1215 causing occasional cpantester failures
1216 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1217 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1219 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1221 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1222 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1225 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1226 ->body when looping through the
1227 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1229 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1230 eating the $@ values, and so not
1231 working correctly, it still kind of
1232 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1233 - added tests for this
1235 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1236 - added new recipe for immutable
1237 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1255 drink more coffee before
1256 doing release engineering
1258 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1259 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1260 modules. This fixes that.

1415 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1417 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1418 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
1419 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1420 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1421 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1423 - added more delegation tests
1424 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1425 support traits and their introspection.
1426 - added tests for this

1665 with work correctly.
1666 - added tests for this
1669 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1670 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1709 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1712 - fixed how required methods are handled
1713 when they encounter overriden or modified
1714 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1715 - added tests for this
1717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1718 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1719 the | always creates a union and so is
1720 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1721 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1723 - added more tests for this
1725 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1728 * Parameterized Types
1729 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1730 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1731 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1732 They can also be nested:
1733 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1734 And work with the type unions as well:
1735 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1737 * Better Framework Extendability
1738 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1739 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1740 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1741 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1744 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1745 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1746 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1747 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1750 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1752 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

1982 so that you can actually document your
1983 attributes and inspect them through the

1987 * Moose::Meta::Class
1988 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1989 it will first look in for the class in the
1990 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1991 then default to just loading $name.
1992 - added tests and docs for this
1994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1995 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
1996 - added test for this
1999 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

2004 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2005 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2008 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2010 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2011 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2012 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2015 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2016 !! for this developer release to work !!
2018 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2019 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2020 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2021 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2022 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2023 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2024 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2025 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2026 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2027 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2028 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2030 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2031 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2032 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2033 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2036 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2037 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2038 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2039 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2040 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2042 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2044 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2045 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2048 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2049 called unless they actually need to be.
2050 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2051 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2052 DEMOLISH method present.
2054 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2055 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2056 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2057 type constraint, which allows for a
2058 hand optimized version of the type
2059 constraint to be used when possible.
2060 - Any internally created type constraints
2061 now provide an optimized version as well.
2063 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2065 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2066 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2067 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2070 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2071 your class namespace of these exported
2074 * Moose::Meta::Class
2075 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2076 comes up during global destruction
2078 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2082 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2086 - changed how we do type checks so that
2087 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2090 - moved accessor generation methods to
2091 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2092 conform to the API changes from
2095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2096 - changed how constraints are compiled
2097 so that we do less recursion and more
2098 iteration. This makes the type check
2100 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2104 - created this from methods formerly found in
2105 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2107 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2108 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2110 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2111 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2113 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2114 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2116 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2119 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2120 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2121 - added tests for this
2122 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2123 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2124 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2125 - removed tests for this
2127 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2129 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2130 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2131 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2134 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2135 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2136 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2138 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2139 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2140 comments for more info.
2143 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2144 asked questions and common problems
2146 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2147 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2148 - added tests for this
2150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2151 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2152 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2153 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2155 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2156 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2159 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2160 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2161 is much appreciated :)
2162 - added tests for this
2164 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2165 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2166 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2169 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2170 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2172 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2174 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2175 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2179 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2180 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2181 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2183 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2185 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2188 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2189 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2190 keywords because we need to localize them.
2191 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2193 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2194 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2195 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2198 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2202 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2203 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2206 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2207 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2208 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2210 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2212 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2213 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2214 bottom of your class file.
2217 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2220 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2222 - improved error message when loading modules so
2223 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2224 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2225 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2228 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2229 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2230 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2232 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2233 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2235 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2236 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2237 turn them on for you.
2238 - added tests for this
2239 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2240 in Moose::Meta::Class
2243 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2244 automatically turned on for you.

2266 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2267 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2268 - This release works in combination with
2269 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2270 release because it uses the a new
2271 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2272 complete Role implementation. It has
2273 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2274 the the previous CPAN version. This
2275 release also lacks good updated docs,
2276 the official release will have updated docs.
2279 - refactored the keyword exports
2280 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2281 accepts more than one Role at a time
2282 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2283 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2286 - refactored the keyword exports
2287 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2288 accepts more than one Role at a time
2290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2291 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2292 string enumerations which can be used as
2294 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2297 - more careful checking of params to new()
2300 - much work done on the role composition
2301 - many new tests for conflict detection
2302 and composition edge cases
2303 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2304 looking at the tests
2306 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2307 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2308 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2310 * Moose::Meta::Class
2311 - some small changes to support the new
2313 - some small additions to support Roles
2315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2316 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2318 - some small changes to support the new
2320 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2321 with the 'handles' option
2322 - added several tests for this
2323 - no docs for this yet
2325 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2327 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2328 thanks to chansen for this commit
2329 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2330 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2331 on a per-attribute basis
2332 - added tests for this
2333 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2334 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2335 experimental feature and probably not finished
