1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
7 constraint has a coercion defined. If it doesn't, an error will be thrown
8 when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
13 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
14 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
15 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
16 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
19 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
23 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
26 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
27 constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
31 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined function
32 (not just method) (doy).
36 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
37 and aren't easily installable/testable.
39 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
43 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
44 to be overridden more easily (doy).
46 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
50 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
51 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
53 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
57 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
58 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
59 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
61 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
65 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
66 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
67 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
69 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
70 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
74 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
75 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
77 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
78 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
82 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
83 is applied to a class (t0m).
85 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
86 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
88 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
91 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
92 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
94 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
95 be much more robust. (doy)
97 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
99 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
102 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
106 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
107 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
109 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
113 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
114 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
116 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
119 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
120 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
121 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
123 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
124 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
125 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
128 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
130 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
134 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
135 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
139 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
141 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
145 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
146 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
150 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
151 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
155 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
157 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
161 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
162 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
166 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
167 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
171 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
172 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
174 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
178 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
179 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
180 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
183 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
187 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
188 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
189 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
190 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
192 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
196 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
197 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
198 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
202 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
205 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
210 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
211 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
215 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
216 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
218 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
219 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
220 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
221 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
223 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
227 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
231 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
232 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
234 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
235 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
236 - Moose::Util::does_role
237 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
238 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
239 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
241 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
245 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
246 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
247 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
250 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
254 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
255 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
258 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
262 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
263 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
266 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
270 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
272 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
273 class. (Dave Rolsky).
275 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
276 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
277 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
279 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
280 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
281 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
284 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
285 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
287 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
288 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
289 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
291 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
293 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
294 substr et al, again. (sorear)
296 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
298 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
301 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
302 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
304 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
305 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
307 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
308 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
309 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
310 dependencies installed.
312 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
313 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
316 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
318 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
322 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
324 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
325 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
326 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
328 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
329 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
330 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
332 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
333 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
336 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
337 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
338 others. (nothingmuch)
340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
341 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
342 remove_accessors. (doy)
344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
345 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
346 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
349 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
351 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
352 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
353 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
354 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
357 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
358 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
361 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
363 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
365 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
366 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
369 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
370 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
371 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
372 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
373 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
375 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
377 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
378 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
379 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
380 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
381 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
384 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
385 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
386 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
387 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
388 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
390 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
391 which were not receiving the value of
392 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
393 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
394 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
395 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
399 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
400 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
401 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
402 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
403 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
406 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
407 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
408 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
409 - added tests for this (Stevan)
412 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
413 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
414 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
417 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
418 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
419 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
421 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
422 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
423 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
426 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
427 class if you pass it options for
428 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
429 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
430 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
431 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
432 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
433 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
434 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
435 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
436 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
438 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
439 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
440 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
441 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
442 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
445 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
446 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
447 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
448 existing delegation API. (hdp)
450 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
451 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
452 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
453 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
454 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
455 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
458 * Moose::Error::Croak
459 * Moose::Error::Confess
460 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
461 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
464 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
467 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
468 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
469 installing a broken sub. (doy)
472 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
475 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
476 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
477 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
479 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
480 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
481 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
482 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
483 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
486 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
489 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
491 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
492 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
495 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
496 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
498 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
499 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
500 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
501 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
503 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
504 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
505 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
506 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
507 using it for new code!
509 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
510 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
511 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
512 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
514 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
515 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
516 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
517 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
518 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
519 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
520 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
521 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
524 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
527 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
528 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
532 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
534 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
535 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
536 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
540 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
541 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
544 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
545 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
547 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
548 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
549 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
552 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
553 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
554 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
555 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
556 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
557 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
559 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
561 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
565 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
566 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
568 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
569 associated_methods. (hdp)
570 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
571 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
572 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
573 misspelled) arguments
575 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
576 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
577 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
578 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
580 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
581 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
582 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
584 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
587 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
588 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
589 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
592 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
593 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
595 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
597 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
598 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
600 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
601 * Moose::Manual::Types
602 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
603 string parsing rathole (mst)
605 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
606 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
607 using plain objects instead
609 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
610 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
613 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
615 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
616 three times today (perigrin)
617 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
618 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
620 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
621 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
622 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
623 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
626 - A role's required methods are now represented by
627 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
628 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
629 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
630 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
631 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
634 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
635 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
636 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
637 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
640 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
642 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
645 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
647 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
650 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
651 during global destruction. This method has been made more
652 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
656 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
657 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
660 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
661 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
663 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
664 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
665 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
668 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
670 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
671 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
674 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
678 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
679 methods during global destruction (doy)
682 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
683 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
687 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
688 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
691 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
692 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
695 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
696 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
698 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
700 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
704 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
705 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
706 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
709 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
710 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
711 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
714 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
716 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
717 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
718 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
721 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
722 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
723 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
724 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
726 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
727 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
728 of the Moose core (Sartak)
731 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
734 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
735 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
736 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
740 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
741 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
744 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
746 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
749 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
750 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
753 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
754 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
757 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
758 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
761 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
764 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
766 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
767 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
771 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
773 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
774 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
777 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
778 * More deprecations and renamings
779 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
780 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
781 when an object is constructed)
784 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
785 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
786 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
789 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
790 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
791 feature, and it works again.
794 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
796 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
798 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
799 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
800 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
802 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
803 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
804 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
805 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
806 message. Test provided by perigrin.
808 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
809 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
810 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
811 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
812 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
815 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
816 metaclass object. (hdp)
818 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
819 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
820 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
821 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
822 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
823 point out this fact. (hdp)
825 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
826 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
828 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
829 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
832 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
833 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
834 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
835 called during instance construction were passed the
836 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
837 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
839 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
840 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
843 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
844 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
845 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
848 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
849 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
850 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
851 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
852 them, but they are not for "public" use.
855 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
857 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
858 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
859 when an object is constructed)
860 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
862 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
863 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
864 when an object is constructed)
865 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
866 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
867 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
870 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
872 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
873 * No changes from 0.72_01.
875 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
877 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
878 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
879 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
881 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
882 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
883 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
885 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
887 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
888 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
890 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
891 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
894 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
895 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
898 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
899 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
900 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
902 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
903 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
907 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
908 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
909 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
911 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
912 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
915 * Moose::Manual::Delta
916 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
917 with recommended workarounds.
919 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
920 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
922 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
923 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
924 (yes, spelled like that).
926 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
927 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
930 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
931 changes in latest Class::MOP.
933 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
936 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
937 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
938 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
939 instead. Reported by doy.
941 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
943 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
944 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
946 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
947 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
948 message) is now deprecated.
949 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
950 often got it wrong. For example:
952 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
954 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
958 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
959 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
960 bite you in weird cases.
962 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
963 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
964 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
967 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
968 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
972 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
975 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
976 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
979 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
980 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
983 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
986 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
987 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
988 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
989 - added tests for this (stevan)
991 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
992 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
993 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
994 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
998 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
999 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1000 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1001 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1003 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1004 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1005 - added tests for this (rafl)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1008 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1009 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1010 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1014 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1015 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1019 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1020 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1022 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1024 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1025 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1027 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1028 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1029 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1030 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1031 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1033 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1034 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1035 error message did not specify the attribute name
1038 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1040 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1042 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1043 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1044 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1047 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1050 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1052 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1053 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1054 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1055 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1057 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1059 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1060 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1061 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1062 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1065 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1066 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1069 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1070 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1071 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1072 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1075 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1076 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1077 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1078 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1081 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1082 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1083 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1084 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1085 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1087 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1088 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1089 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1090 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1091 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1092 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1094 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1095 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1097 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1098 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1099 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1100 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1103 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1106 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1110 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1111 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1113 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1114 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1115 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1116 guts. (nothingmuch).
1118 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1120 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1123 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1124 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1125 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1127 * Moose::Meta::Class
1128 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1131 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1132 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1134 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1135 * Moose::Unsweetened
1136 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1139 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1140 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1141 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1142 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1143 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1144 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1146 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1147 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1148 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1149 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1150 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1151 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1152 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1153 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1154 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1155 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1157 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1159 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1160 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1163 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1164 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1165 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1167 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1168 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1169 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1170 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1171 same methods for a single role did not work
1172 right (worked just fine with multiple
1174 - added test for this (stevan)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1177 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1178 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1181 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1182 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1183 - added test for this (t0m)
1186 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1187 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1188 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1191 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1192 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1193 - added test for this (t0m)
1195 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1196 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1197 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1198 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1199 - added test for this (perigrin)
1202 - create method for constructing a role
1203 dynamically (Sartak)
1204 - added test for this (Sartak)
1205 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1206 - added test for this (Sartak)
1209 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1211 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1212 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1213 methods is useful (Sartak)
1215 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1217 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1220 * Moose::Meta::Class
1221 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1222 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1223 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1224 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1225 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1226 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1229 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1230 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1232 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1233 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1234 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1235 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1236 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1238 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1240 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1241 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1242 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1245 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1246 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1247 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1248 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1249 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1250 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1253 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1254 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1255 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1256 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1257 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1258 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1259 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1260 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1261 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1262 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1263 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1265 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1266 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1270 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1271 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1272 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1273 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1275 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1277 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1278 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1279 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1281 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1282 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1285 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1286 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1287 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1290 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1291 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1293 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1295 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1296 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Class
1299 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1300 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1301 a required attribute
1303 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1304 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1305 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1306 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1309 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1311 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1312 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1313 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1314 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1315 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1316 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1317 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1318 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1320 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1321 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1322 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1324 * Roles and role application
1325 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1326 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1327 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1328 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1329 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1331 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1332 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1335 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1336 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1337 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1338 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1339 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1342 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1343 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1344 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1345 changes in the Moose internals.
1347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1349 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1352 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1353 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1354 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1355 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1357 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1358 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1359 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1360 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1362 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1363 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1364 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1365 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1366 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1367 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1368 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1369 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1370 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1371 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1372 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1373 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1374 constraint implementations.
1376 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1380 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1381 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1382 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1383 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1384 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1385 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1386 - added tests for this (rafl)
1388 * Moose::Meta::Class
1389 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1390 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1391 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1392 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1393 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1394 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1395 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1396 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1399 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1400 - added tests for this (thepler)
1402 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1403 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1404 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1405 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1408 * Moose::Meta::Class
1409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1410 * Moose::Meta::Method
1413 * Moose::Error::Default
1414 * Moose::Error::Croak
1415 * Moose::Error::Confess
1416 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1417 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1418 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1419 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1420 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1421 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1423 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1425 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1426 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1428 * Moose::Unsweetened
1429 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1430 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1431 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1433 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1434 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1435 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1436 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1437 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1440 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1441 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1443 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1444 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1445 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1446 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1485 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1486 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1488 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1489 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1492 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1493 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1494 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1495 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1496 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1497 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1499 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1500 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1502 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1504 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1505 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1509 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1510 method when that method was provided by another role being
1511 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1512 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1514 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1522 - added test for this (t0m)
1524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1525 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1526 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1528 - added test for this (t0m)
1531 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1532 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1533 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1537 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1539 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1541 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1542 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1544 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1545 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1546 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1548 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1549 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1552 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1555 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1559 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1560 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1561 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1565 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1566 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

1570 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1574 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1576 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1578 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1580 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1581 created so that the process can be more easily

1616 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1617 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1619 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1620 ... this is not my day today ...
1622 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1623 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1624 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1625 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1626 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1629 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1630 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1631 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1632 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1633 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1636 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1638 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1639 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1640 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1641 this is not ever something you want to do

1643 - added tests for this (stevan)
1646 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1648 - added test for this

1666 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1668 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1671 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1672 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1673 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1674 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1675 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1676 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1677 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1678 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1679 - added tests for this
1681 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1682 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1683 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1684 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1757 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1758 (late night release engineering)--

1779 method for immutablization to check if the
1780 destructor object even needs to be created
1783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1784 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1785 - added more descriptive error message to help
1786 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1787 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1789 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1791 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1792 XS based functionality is now optional
1793 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1794 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1795 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1797 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1798 to take care of this, mostly we added
1799 support for the package_name and name

1802 support regexp matching of names
1803 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1815 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1816 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the

1819 - added test for this
1821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1868 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1869 ->body when looping through the
1870 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1872 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1873 eating the $@ values, and so not
1874 working correctly, it still kind of
1875 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1876 - added tests for this
1878 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1879 - added new recipe for immutable
1880 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1898 drink more coffee before
1899 doing release engineering
1901 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2016 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2018 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2061 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2062 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2063 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2064 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2066 - added more delegation tests
2067 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2068 support traits and their introspection.
2069 - added tests for this

2309 - added tests for this
2312 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2313 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2355 - fixed how required methods are handled
2356 when they encounter overriden or modified
2357 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2358 - added tests for this
2360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2361 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2362 the | always creates a union and so is
2363 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2364 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2366 - added more tests for this
2368 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2371 * Parameterized Types
2372 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2373 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2374 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2375 They can also be nested:
2376 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2377 And work with the type unions as well:
2378 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2380 * Better Framework Extendability
2381 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2382 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2383 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2384 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2387 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2388 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2389 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2390 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2393 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2395 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2396 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2624 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2625 so that you can actually document your
2626 attributes and inspect them through the

2630 * Moose::Meta::Class
2631 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2632 it will first look in for the class in the
2633 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2634 then default to just loading $name.
2635 - added tests and docs for this
2637 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2638 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2639 - added test for this

2644 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2645 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2647 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2648 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2651 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2653 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2654 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2655 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2658 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2659 !! for this developer release to work !!
2661 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2662 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2663 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2664 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2665 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2666 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2667 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2668 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2669 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2670 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2671 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2673 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2674 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2675 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2676 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2679 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2681 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2682 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2683 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2685 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2687 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2688 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2691 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2692 called unless they actually need to be.
2693 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2694 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2695 DEMOLISH method present.
2697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2698 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2699 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2700 type constraint, which allows for a
2701 hand optimized version of the type
2702 constraint to be used when possible.
2703 - Any internally created type constraints
2704 now provide an optimized version as well.
2706 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2708 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2709 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2710 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2712 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2713 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2714 your class namespace of these exported
2717 * Moose::Meta::Class
2718 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2719 comes up during global destruction
2721 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2725 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2728 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2729 - changed how we do type checks so that
2730 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2733 - moved accessor generation methods to
2734 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2735 conform to the API changes from
2738 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2739 - changed how constraints are compiled
2740 so that we do less recursion and more
2741 iteration. This makes the type check
2743 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2747 - created this from methods formerly found in
2748 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2750 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2751 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2754 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2756 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2757 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2759 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2761 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2762 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2763 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2764 - added tests for this
2765 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2766 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2767 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2768 - removed tests for this
2770 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2772 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2773 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2774 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2777 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2778 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2779 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2781 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2782 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2783 comments for more info.
2786 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2787 asked questions and common problems
2789 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2790 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2791 - added tests for this
2793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2794 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2795 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2796 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2798 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2799 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2802 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2803 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2804 is much appreciated :)
2805 - added tests for this
2807 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2808 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2809 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2812 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2813 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2815 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2817 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2818 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2822 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2823 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2824 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2826 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2828 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2831 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2832 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2833 keywords because we need to localize them.
2834 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2836 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2837 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2838 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2841 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2844 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2845 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2846 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2849 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2850 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2851 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2853 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2855 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2856 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2857 bottom of your class file.
2860 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2863 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2865 - improved error message when loading modules so
2866 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2867 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2868 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2871 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2872 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2873 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2875 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2876 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2878 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2879 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2880 turn them on for you.
2881 - added tests for this
2882 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2883 in Moose::Meta::Class
2886 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2887 automatically turned on for you.
2888 - added tests for this
2891 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2892 - added tests for this

2906 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2909 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2910 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2911 - This release works in combination with
2912 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2913 release because it uses the a new
2914 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2915 complete Role implementation. It has
2916 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2917 the the previous CPAN version. This
2918 release also lacks good updated docs,
2919 the official release will have updated docs.
2922 - refactored the keyword exports
2923 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2924 accepts more than one Role at a time
2925 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2926 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2929 - refactored the keyword exports
2930 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2931 accepts more than one Role at a time
2933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2934 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2935 string enumerations which can be used as
2937 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2940 - more careful checking of params to new()
2943 - much work done on the role composition
2944 - many new tests for conflict detection
2945 and composition edge cases
2946 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2947 looking at the tests
2949 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2950 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2951 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2953 * Moose::Meta::Class
2954 - some small changes to support the new
2956 - some small additions to support Roles
2958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2959 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2961 - some small changes to support the new
2963 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2964 with the 'handles' option
2965 - added several tests for this
2966 - no docs for this yet
2968 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2970 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2971 thanks to chansen for this commit
2972 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2973 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2974 on a per-attribute basis
2975 - added tests for this
2976 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2977 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2978 experimental feature and probably not finished

2980 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2981 - added tests for this
