1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
9 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
10 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
13 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
14 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
20 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
21 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
22 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
24 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
25 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
26 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
29 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
30 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
31 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
33 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
34 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
35 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
37 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
38 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
42 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
43 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
44 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
46 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
47 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
48 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
49 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
51 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
55 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
56 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
59 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
60 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
62 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
66 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
67 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
68 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
70 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
74 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
75 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
79 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
80 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
81 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
83 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
84 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
85 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
87 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
91 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
93 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
97 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
99 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
100 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
105 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
106 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
108 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
109 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
110 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
111 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
112 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
114 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
115 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
116 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
117 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
119 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
123 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
124 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
129 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
131 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
133 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
138 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
140 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
144 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
145 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
146 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
148 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
149 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
150 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
151 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
153 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
154 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
155 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
156 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
157 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
160 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
165 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
166 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
167 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
168 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
169 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
172 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
176 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
179 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
180 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
184 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
185 function (not just method). (doy)
189 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
190 and aren't easily installable/testable.
192 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
196 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
197 to be overridden more easily (doy).
199 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
203 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
204 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
206 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
210 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
211 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
212 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
214 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
218 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
219 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
220 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
222 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
223 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
227 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
228 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
230 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
231 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
235 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
236 is applied to a class (t0m).
238 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
239 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
241 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
244 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
245 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
247 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
248 be much more robust. (doy)
250 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
252 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
255 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
259 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
260 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
262 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
266 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
267 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
269 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
272 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
273 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
274 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
276 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
277 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
278 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
281 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
283 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
287 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
288 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
292 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
294 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
299 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
303 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
304 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
308 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
310 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
314 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
315 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
319 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
320 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
324 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
325 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
327 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
331 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
332 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
333 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
336 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
340 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
341 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
342 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
343 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
345 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
349 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
350 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
351 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
355 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
358 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
363 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
364 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
368 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
369 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
371 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
372 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
373 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
374 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
376 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
380 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
384 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
385 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
387 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
388 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
389 - Moose::Util::does_role
390 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
391 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
392 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
394 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
398 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
399 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
400 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
403 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
407 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
408 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
411 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
415 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
416 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
419 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
423 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
425 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
426 class. (Dave Rolsky).
428 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
429 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
430 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
432 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
433 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
434 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
437 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
438 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
440 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
441 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
442 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
444 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
446 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
447 substr et al, again. (sorear)
449 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
451 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
454 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
455 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
457 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
458 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
460 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
461 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
462 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
463 dependencies installed.
465 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
466 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
469 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
471 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
475 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
478 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
479 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
481 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
482 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
483 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
485 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
486 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
489 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
490 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
491 others. (nothingmuch)
493 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
494 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
495 remove_accessors. (doy)
497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
498 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
499 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
502 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
504 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
506 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
507 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
510 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
511 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
514 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
516 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
518 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
519 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
523 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
524 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
525 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
526 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
528 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
531 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
532 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
533 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
534 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
537 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
538 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
539 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
540 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
541 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
543 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
544 which were not receiving the value of
545 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
546 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
547 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
548 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
552 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
553 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
554 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
555 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
556 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
560 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
561 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
562 - added tests for this (Stevan)
565 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
566 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
567 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
570 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
571 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
572 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
575 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
576 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
579 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
580 class if you pass it options for
581 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
582 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
583 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
584 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
585 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
586 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
587 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
588 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
589 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
591 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
592 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
593 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
594 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
595 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
598 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
599 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
600 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
601 existing delegation API. (hdp)
603 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
604 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
605 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
606 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
607 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
608 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
611 * Moose::Error::Croak
612 * Moose::Error::Confess
613 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
614 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
617 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
620 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
621 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
622 installing a broken sub. (doy)
625 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
628 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
629 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
630 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
632 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
633 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
634 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
635 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
636 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
638 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
639 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
642 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
644 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
645 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
648 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
649 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
651 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
653 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
654 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
656 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
657 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
658 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
659 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
660 using it for new code!
662 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
663 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
664 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
665 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
667 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
668 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
669 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
670 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
671 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
672 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
673 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
674 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
677 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
680 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
681 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
684 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
685 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
687 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
688 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
689 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
693 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
694 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
697 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
698 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
701 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
702 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
705 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
706 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
707 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
708 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
709 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
710 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
712 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
714 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
718 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
719 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
721 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
722 associated_methods. (hdp)
723 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
724 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
725 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
726 misspelled) arguments
728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
729 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
730 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
731 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
734 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
735 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
737 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
741 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
742 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
745 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
746 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
748 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
750 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
751 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
753 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
754 * Moose::Manual::Types
755 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
756 string parsing rathole (mst)
758 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
759 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
760 using plain objects instead
762 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
763 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
766 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
768 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
769 three times today (perigrin)
770 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
771 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
774 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
775 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
776 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
779 - A role's required methods are now represented by
780 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
781 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
782 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
783 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
784 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
787 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
788 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
789 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
790 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
793 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
795 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
798 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
800 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
803 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
804 during global destruction. This method has been made more
805 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
809 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
810 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
813 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
814 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
816 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
817 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
818 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
821 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
823 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
824 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
827 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
831 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
832 methods during global destruction (doy)
835 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
836 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
840 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
841 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
844 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
845 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
848 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
849 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
851 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
853 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
857 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
858 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
859 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
862 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
863 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
864 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
867 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
869 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
870 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
871 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
874 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
875 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
876 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
877 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
879 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
880 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
881 of the Moose core (Sartak)
884 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
887 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
888 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
889 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
893 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
894 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
897 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
899 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
902 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
903 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
906 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
907 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
910 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
911 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
914 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
917 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
919 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
920 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
924 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
926 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
927 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
930 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
931 * More deprecations and renamings
932 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
933 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
934 when an object is constructed)
937 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
938 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
939 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
942 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
943 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
944 feature, and it works again.
947 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
949 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
951 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
952 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
953 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
956 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
957 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
958 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
959 message. Test provided by perigrin.
961 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
962 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
963 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
964 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
965 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
968 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
969 metaclass object. (hdp)
971 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
972 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
973 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
974 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
975 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
976 point out this fact. (hdp)
978 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
979 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
981 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
982 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
985 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
986 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
987 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
988 called during instance construction were passed the
989 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
990 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
992 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
993 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
996 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
997 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
998 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1001 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1002 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1003 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1004 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1005 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1007 - Moose::Meta::Class
1008 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1010 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1011 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1012 when an object is constructed)
1013 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1015 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1016 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1017 when an object is constructed)
1018 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1019 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1020 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1023 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1025 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1026 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1028 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1030 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1031 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1032 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1034 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1035 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1036 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1038 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1040 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1041 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1043 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1044 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1047 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1048 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1051 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1052 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1053 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1056 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1060 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1061 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1062 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1064 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1065 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1068 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1069 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1070 with recommended workarounds.
1072 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1073 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1076 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1077 (yes, spelled like that).
1079 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1080 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1082 * Moose::Meta::Class
1083 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1084 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1086 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1088 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1089 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1090 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1091 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1092 instead. Reported by doy.
1094 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1096 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1097 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1100 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1101 message) is now deprecated.
1102 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1103 often got it wrong. For example:
1105 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1107 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1111 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1112 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1113 bite you in weird cases.
1115 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1116 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1117 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1118 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1120 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1121 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1125 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1128 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1129 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1132 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1133 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1136 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1139 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1141 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1142 - added tests for this (stevan)
1144 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1145 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1146 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1147 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1151 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1152 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1153 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1154 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1156 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1157 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1158 - added tests for this (rafl)
1160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1161 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1162 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1163 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1167 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1168 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1171 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1172 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1173 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1175 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1177 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1178 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1180 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1181 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1182 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1183 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1184 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1187 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1188 error message did not specify the attribute name
1191 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1193 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1195 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1196 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1197 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1200 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1203 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1205 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1206 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1207 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1208 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1210 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1212 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1213 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1214 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1215 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1218 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1219 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1222 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1223 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1224 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1225 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1228 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1229 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1230 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1231 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1234 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1235 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1236 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1237 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1238 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1240 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1241 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1242 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1243 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1244 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1245 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1248 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1250 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1251 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1252 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1253 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1256 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1259 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1263 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1264 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1267 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1268 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1269 guts. (nothingmuch).
1271 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1273 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1276 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1277 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1278 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1280 * Moose::Meta::Class
1281 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1284 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1285 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1287 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1288 * Moose::Unsweetened
1289 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1292 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1293 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1294 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1295 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1296 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1297 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1299 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1300 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1301 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1302 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1303 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1304 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1305 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1306 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1307 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1308 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1310 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1312 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1313 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1316 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1317 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1318 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1320 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1321 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1322 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1323 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1324 same methods for a single role did not work
1325 right (worked just fine with multiple
1327 - added test for this (stevan)
1329 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1330 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1331 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1334 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1335 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1336 - added test for this (t0m)
1339 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1340 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1341 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1343 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1344 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1345 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1346 - added test for this (t0m)
1348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1349 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1350 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1351 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1352 - added test for this (perigrin)
1355 - create method for constructing a role
1356 dynamically (Sartak)
1357 - added test for this (Sartak)
1358 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1359 - added test for this (Sartak)
1362 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1364 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1365 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1366 methods is useful (Sartak)
1368 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1369 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1370 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1373 * Moose::Meta::Class
1374 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1375 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1376 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1377 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1378 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1379 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1382 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1383 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1385 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1386 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1387 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1388 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1389 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1391 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1393 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1394 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1395 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1398 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1399 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1400 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1401 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1402 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1403 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1406 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1407 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1408 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1409 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1410 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1411 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1412 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1413 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1414 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1415 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1416 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1418 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1419 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1422 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1423 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1424 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1425 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1426 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1428 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1430 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1431 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1432 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1434 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1435 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1438 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1439 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1440 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1443 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1444 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1446 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1448 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1449 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1451 * Moose::Meta::Class
1452 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1453 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1454 a required attribute
1456 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1457 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1458 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1459 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1461 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1462 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1464 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1465 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1466 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1467 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1468 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1469 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1470 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1471 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1473 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1474 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1475 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1477 * Roles and role application
1478 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1479 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1480 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1481 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1482 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1484 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1485 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1488 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1489 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1490 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1491 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1492 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1495 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1496 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1497 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1498 changes in the Moose internals.
1500 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1502 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1505 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1506 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1507 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1508 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1510 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1511 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1512 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1513 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1516 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1517 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1518 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1519 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1520 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1521 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1522 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1523 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1524 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1525 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1526 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1527 constraint implementations.
1529 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1533 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1534 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1535 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1536 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1537 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1538 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1539 - added tests for this (rafl)
1541 * Moose::Meta::Class
1542 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1543 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1544 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1545 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1546 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1547 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1548 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1549 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1552 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1553 - added tests for this (thepler)
1555 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1556 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1557 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1558 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1561 * Moose::Meta::Class
1562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1563 * Moose::Meta::Method
1566 * Moose::Error::Default
1567 * Moose::Error::Croak
1568 * Moose::Error::Confess
1569 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1570 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1571 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1572 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1573 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1574 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1576 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1578 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1579 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1581 * Moose::Unsweetened
1582 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1583 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1584 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1586 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1587 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1588 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1589 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1590 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1593 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1594 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1596 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1597 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1598 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1599 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1602 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1604 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1605 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1607 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1610 - Various bug fixes.
1612 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1613 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1615 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1617 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1618 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1619 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1620 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1621 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1622 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1624 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1625 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1626 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1628 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1629 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1630 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1633 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1634 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1635 dependency to 0.64_07.
1637 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1638 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1639 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1642 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1646 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1647 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1648 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1649 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1650 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1652 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1653 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1655 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1657 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1658 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1662 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1663 method when that method was provided by another role being
1664 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1665 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1667 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1669 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1670 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1672 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1673 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1674 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1675 - added test for this (t0m)
1677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1678 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1679 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1681 - added test for this (t0m)
1684 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1685 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1686 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1689 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1690 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1692 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1694 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1695 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1697 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1698 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1699 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1701 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1702 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1705 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1706 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1707 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1708 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1712 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1713 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1714 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1717 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1718 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1719 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1720 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1723 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1727 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1728 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1729 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1731 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1733 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1734 created so that the process can be more easily
1735 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1737 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1738 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1739 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1740 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1743 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1746 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1747 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1749 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1750 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1751 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1753 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1754 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1755 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1757 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1758 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1760 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1761 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1764 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1765 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1769 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1770 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1772 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1773 ... this is not my day today ...
1775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1776 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1777 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1778 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1779 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1782 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1783 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1784 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1785 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1786 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1789 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1791 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1792 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1793 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1794 this is not ever something you want to do
1795 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1796 - added tests for this (stevan)
1799 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1801 - added test for this
1803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1804 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1805 - added tests for this (wreis)
1807 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1808 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1809 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1810 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1812 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1813 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1814 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1817 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1819 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1821 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1824 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1825 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1826 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1827 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1828 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1829 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1830 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1831 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1832 - added tests for this
1834 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1835 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1836 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1837 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1839 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1841 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1842 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1843 - added tests for this (sartak)
1844 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1845 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1848 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()

1854 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1855 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1856 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1858 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1860 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1861 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

1868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1869 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1870 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1872 - added docs for this (TODO).
1873 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1874 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1875 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1876 - fix builder and default both being used
1881 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1883 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1884 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1885 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1889 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1893 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1894 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1895 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1898 - move the ClassName type check code to
1899 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1901 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1902 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1904 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1905 (early morning release engineering)--
1907 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1908 which was causing the indexer to choke
1910 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1911 (late night release engineering)--
1913 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1914 changes in this release
1916 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1917 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1918 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1920 * Moose::Meta::Class
1921 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1922 since it is called so often by &meta
1924 * Moose::Meta::Class
1926 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1927 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1930 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1931 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1932 method for immutablization to check if the
1933 destructor object even needs to be created
1936 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1937 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1938 - added more descriptive error message to help
1939 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1940 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1942 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1944 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1945 XS based functionality is now optional
1946 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1947 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1948 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1950 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1951 to take care of this, mostly we added
1952 support for the package_name and name
1953 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1954 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1955 support regexp matching of names
1956 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1957 - tests added for this
1958 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1959 is currently not supported in roles,
1960 but, ... patches welcome
1961 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1962 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1963 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1966 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1967 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1968 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1969 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1970 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1971 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1972 - added test for this
1974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1975 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1976 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1979 * Moose::Meta::Class
1980 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1984 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1986 - added tests for this
1987 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1988 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1991 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1992 themselves parameterizable types
1994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1995 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1996 called by the inlined immutable
1998 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2000 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2001 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2002 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2003 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2005 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2006 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2010 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2011 causing occasional cpantester failures
2012 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2013 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2015 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2017 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2018 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2021 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2022 ->body when looping through the
2023 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2025 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2026 eating the $@ values, and so not
2027 working correctly, it still kind of
2028 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2029 - added tests for this
2031 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2032 - added new recipe for immutable
2033 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2035 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2036 - added new recipe for builder and
2037 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2039 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2040 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2041 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2044 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2046 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2047 since Module::Install has done that.
2049 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2051 drink more coffee before
2052 doing release engineering
2054 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2055 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2056 modules. This fixes that.
2058 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2059 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2060 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2062 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2063 since we have tests which need the C3
2066 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008

2462 - added tests for this
2465 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2466 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2505 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2508 - fixed how required methods are handled
2509 when they encounter overriden or modified
2510 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2511 - added tests for this
2513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2514 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2515 the | always creates a union and so is
2516 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2517 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

2521 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2524 * Parameterized Types
2525 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2526 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2527 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2528 They can also be nested:
2529 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2530 And work with the type unions as well:
2531 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2533 * Better Framework Extendability
2534 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2535 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2536 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2537 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2540 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2541 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2542 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2543 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2739 - added tests for this
2741 * Moose::Meta::Class
2742 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2743 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2744 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2746 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2747 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

2750 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2751 so this release is just to fix that.
2754 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2755 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2756 (thanks to konobi for this)
2757 - added tests and docs
2759 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2760 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2762 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2763 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2764 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2765 - added tests for this
2766 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2767 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2768 functions to facilitate introspection.
2770 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2771 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2772 to build the list of delegated methods
2773 correctly (and not override important
2774 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2776 - added tests and docs for this
2777 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2778 so that you can actually document your
2779 attributes and inspect them through the
2781 - added tests and docs for this
2783 * Moose::Meta::Class
2784 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2785 it will first look in for the class in the
2786 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2787 then default to just loading $name.
2788 - added tests and docs for this
2790 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2791 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2792 - added test for this
2795 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2796 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2797 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2798 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2800 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2801 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2804 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2806 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2807 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2808 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2811 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2812 !! for this developer release to work !!
2814 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2815 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2816 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2817 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2818 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2819 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2820 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2821 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2822 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2823 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2824 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2826 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2827 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2828 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2829 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2832 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2834 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2835 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2836 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2838 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2840 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2841 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2844 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2845 called unless they actually need to be.
2846 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2847 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2848 DEMOLISH method present.
2850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2851 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2852 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2853 type constraint, which allows for a
2854 hand optimized version of the type
2855 constraint to be used when possible.
2856 - Any internally created type constraints
2857 now provide an optimized version as well.
2859 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2861 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2862 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2863 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2865 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2866 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2867 your class namespace of these exported
2870 * Moose::Meta::Class
2871 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2872 comes up during global destruction
2874 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2878 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2882 - changed how we do type checks so that
2883 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2886 - moved accessor generation methods to
2887 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2888 conform to the API changes from
2891 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2892 - changed how constraints are compiled
2893 so that we do less recursion and more
2894 iteration. This makes the type check
2896 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2899 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2900 - created this from methods formerly found in
2901 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2903 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2904 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2906 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2907 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2909 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2910 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2912 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2914 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2915 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2916 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2917 - added tests for this
2918 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2919 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2920 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2921 - removed tests for this
2923 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2925 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2926 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2927 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2930 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2931 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2932 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2934 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2935 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2936 comments for more info.
2939 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2940 asked questions and common problems
2942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2943 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2944 - added tests for this
2946 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2947 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2948 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2949 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2951 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2952 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2955 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2956 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2957 is much appreciated :)
2958 - added tests for this
2960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2961 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2962 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2965 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2966 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2968 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2970 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2971 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2975 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2976 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2977 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2979 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2981 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2984 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2985 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2986 keywords because we need to localize them.
2987 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2989 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2990 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2991 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2994 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2997 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2998 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2999 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3002 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3003 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3004 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3006 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3008 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3009 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3010 bottom of your class file.
3013 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3016 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3018 - improved error message when loading modules so
3019 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3020 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3021 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3024 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3025 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3026 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3028 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3029 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3031 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3032 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3033 turn them on for you.
3034 - added tests for this

3063 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3064 - This release works in combination with
3065 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3066 release because it uses the a new
3067 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3068 complete Role implementation. It has
3069 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3070 the the previous CPAN version. This
3071 release also lacks good updated docs,
3072 the official release will have updated docs.
3075 - refactored the keyword exports
3076 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3077 accepts more than one Role at a time

3088 string enumerations which can be used as
3090 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3093 - more careful checking of params to new()
3096 - much work done on the role composition
3097 - many new tests for conflict detection
3098 and composition edge cases
3099 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3100 looking at the tests
3102 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3103 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3104 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3114 - some small changes to support the new
3116 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3117 with the 'handles' option

3125 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3126 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3127 on a per-attribute basis
3128 - added tests for this
