1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
10 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
12 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
16 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
18 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
22 * Include changes from 2.0010.
24 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
28 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
29 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
33 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
34 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
35 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
40 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
42 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
46 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
47 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
49 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
53 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
55 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
59 * Various packaging issues.
61 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
65 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
66 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
71 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
72 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
73 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
77 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
78 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
79 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
81 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
85 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
86 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
88 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
92 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
93 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
95 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
98 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
99 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
103 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
104 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
106 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
110 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
111 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
115 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
117 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
121 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
123 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
127 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
128 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
130 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
134 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
136 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
140 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
142 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
143 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
145 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
149 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
150 skips every other role. (rjbs)
152 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
153 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
154 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
155 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
156 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
158 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
162 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
163 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
164 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
167 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
172 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
174 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
175 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
177 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
181 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
182 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
183 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
187 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
188 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
190 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
191 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
193 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
194 environments. (doy, mateu)
196 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
200 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
201 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
202 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
203 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
207 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
208 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
210 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
214 * Update conflicts list.
217 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
221 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
222 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
223 details. (Dave Rolsky)
225 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
226 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
227 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
228 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
229 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
233 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
234 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
235 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
236 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
237 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
240 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
244 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
245 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
247 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
250 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
254 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
255 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
256 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
257 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
259 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
260 immutable classes). (mo)
262 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
263 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
264 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
266 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
270 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
272 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
274 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
278 * Fix some indexing issues.
280 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
282 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
286 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
287 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
288 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
289 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
290 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
292 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
293 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
298 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
299 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
300 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
301 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
303 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
304 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
305 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
309 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
310 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
313 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
317 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
318 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
322 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
326 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
327 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
328 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
329 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
332 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
336 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
339 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
343 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
344 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
345 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
348 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
352 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
353 policy. (Chris Prather)
355 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
356 on this new support policy. (doy)
360 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
361 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
362 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
364 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
365 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
367 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
371 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
372 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
373 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
374 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
377 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
381 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
382 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
385 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
389 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
390 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
392 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
393 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
397 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
398 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
399 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
400 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
401 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
402 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
404 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
405 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
407 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
408 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
409 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
410 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
412 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
413 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
420 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
421 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
423 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
427 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
428 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
429 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
431 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
435 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
436 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
437 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
439 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
440 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
443 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
444 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
447 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
448 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
449 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
451 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
452 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
457 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
458 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
459 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
460 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
462 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
463 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
465 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
466 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
468 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
469 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
470 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
471 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
473 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
474 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
475 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
478 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
479 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
480 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
481 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
483 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
484 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
487 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
488 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
489 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
491 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
495 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
496 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
497 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
499 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
500 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
501 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
504 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
505 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
506 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
508 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
509 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
510 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
512 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
513 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
517 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
518 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
519 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
521 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
522 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
523 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
524 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
526 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
530 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
531 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
532 value is a reference.
534 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
535 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
537 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
541 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
542 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
543 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
545 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
549 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
550 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
554 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
555 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
556 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
558 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
559 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
560 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
562 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
566 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
568 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
572 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
574 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
575 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
580 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
581 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
583 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
584 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
585 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
586 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
587 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
589 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
590 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
591 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
592 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
594 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
598 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
599 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
604 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
606 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
608 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
613 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
615 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
619 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
620 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
621 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
623 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
624 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
625 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
626 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
628 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
629 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
630 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
631 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
632 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
635 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
640 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
641 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
642 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
643 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
644 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
647 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
651 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
654 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
655 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
659 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
660 function (not just method). (doy)
664 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
665 and aren't easily installable/testable.
667 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
671 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
672 to be overridden more easily (doy).
674 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
678 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
679 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
681 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
685 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
686 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
687 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
689 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
693 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
694 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
695 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
697 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
698 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
702 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
703 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
705 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
706 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
710 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
711 is applied to a class (t0m).
713 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
714 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
716 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
719 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
720 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
722 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
723 be much more robust. (doy)
725 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
727 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
730 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
734 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
735 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
737 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
741 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
742 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
744 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
747 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
748 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
749 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
751 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
752 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
753 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
756 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
758 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
762 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
763 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
767 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
769 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
774 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
778 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
779 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
783 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
785 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
789 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
790 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
794 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
795 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
799 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
800 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
802 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
806 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
807 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
808 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
811 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
815 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
816 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
817 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
818 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
820 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
824 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
825 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
826 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
830 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
833 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
838 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
839 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
843 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
844 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
846 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
847 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
848 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
849 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
851 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
855 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
859 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
860 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
862 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
863 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
864 - Moose::Util::does_role
865 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
866 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
867 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
869 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
873 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
874 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
875 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
878 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
882 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
883 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
886 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
890 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
891 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
894 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
898 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
900 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
901 class. (Dave Rolsky).
903 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
904 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
905 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
907 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
908 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
909 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
912 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
913 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
915 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
916 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
917 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
919 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
921 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
922 substr et al, again. (sorear)
924 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
926 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
929 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
930 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
932 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
933 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
935 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
936 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
937 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
938 dependencies installed.
940 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
941 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
944 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
946 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
950 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
952 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
953 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
954 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
956 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
957 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
958 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
960 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
961 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
964 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
965 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
966 others. (nothingmuch)
968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
969 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
970 remove_accessors. (doy)
972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
973 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
974 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
976 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
977 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
979 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
981 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
982 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
985 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
986 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
988 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
989 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
991 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
993 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
994 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
998 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
999 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1000 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1001 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1003 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1004 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1006 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1007 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1008 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1009 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1013 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1014 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1015 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1016 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1018 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1019 which were not receiving the value of
1020 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1021 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1022 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1023 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1027 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1028 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1029 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1030 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1031 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1034 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1035 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1036 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1037 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1039 * Moose::Meta::Class
1040 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1041 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1042 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1045 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1046 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1047 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1049 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1050 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1051 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1054 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1055 class if you pass it options for
1056 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1057 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1058 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1059 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1060 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1061 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1062 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1063 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1064 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1066 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1067 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1068 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1069 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1070 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1073 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1074 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1075 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1076 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1078 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1079 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1080 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1081 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1082 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1083 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1086 * Moose::Error::Croak
1087 * Moose::Error::Confess
1088 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1089 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1092 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1095 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1096 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1097 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1099 * Moose::Meta::Class
1100 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1103 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1104 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1105 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1107 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1108 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1109 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1110 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1111 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1113 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1114 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1117 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1119 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1120 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1123 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1124 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1128 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1129 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1131 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1132 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1133 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1134 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1135 using it for new code!
1137 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1138 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1139 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1140 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1142 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1143 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1144 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1145 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1146 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1147 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1148 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1149 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1152 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1155 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1156 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1160 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1163 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1164 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1166 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1167 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1168 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1169 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1171 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1172 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1173 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1176 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1177 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1180 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1182 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1183 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1184 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1185 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1187 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1189 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1193 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1194 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1196 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1197 associated_methods. (hdp)
1198 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1199 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1200 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1201 misspelled) arguments
1203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1204 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1205 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1206 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1210 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1212 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1216 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1217 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1220 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1221 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1223 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1224 * Moose::Meta::Class
1225 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1226 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1228 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1229 * Moose::Manual::Types
1230 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1231 string parsing rathole (mst)
1233 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1234 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1235 using plain objects instead
1237 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1238 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1239 that's what we need.
1241 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1242 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1243 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1244 three times today (perigrin)
1245 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1246 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1249 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1250 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1251 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1254 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1255 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1256 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1257 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1258 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1259 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1262 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1263 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1264 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1265 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1268 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1270 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1273 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1275 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1278 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1279 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1280 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1284 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1285 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1288 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1289 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1291 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1293 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1295 * Moose::Unsweetened
1296 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1298 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1299 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1302 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1306 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1307 methods during global destruction (doy)
1309 * Moose::Meta::Class
1310 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1311 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1312 consumption (Sartak)
1314 * Moose::Meta::Class
1315 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1316 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1319 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1320 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1323 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1324 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1326 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1328 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1332 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1333 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1334 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1337 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1338 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1339 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1342 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1344 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1346 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1349 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1350 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1351 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1352 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1354 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1355 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1356 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1359 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1362 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1363 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1364 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1368 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1369 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1371 * Moose::Meta::Class
1372 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1374 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1376 * Moose::Meta::Class
1377 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1378 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1381 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1382 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1385 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1386 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1389 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1392 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1395 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1398 * Moose::Meta::Class
1399 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1401 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1402 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1405 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1406 * More deprecations and renamings
1407 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1408 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1409 when an object is constructed)
1412 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1413 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1414 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1417 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1418 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1419 feature, and it works again.
1422 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1424 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1426 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1427 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1428 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1430 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1431 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1432 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1433 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1434 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1437 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1438 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1439 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1440 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1443 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1444 metaclass object. (hdp)
1446 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1447 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1448 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1449 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1450 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1451 point out this fact. (hdp)
1453 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1454 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1456 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1457 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1459 * Moose::Meta::Class
1460 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1461 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1462 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1463 called during instance construction were passed the
1464 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1465 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1467 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1468 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1471 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1472 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1473 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1476 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1477 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1478 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1479 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1480 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1482 - Moose::Meta::Class
1483 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1485 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1486 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1487 when an object is constructed)
1488 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1490 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1491 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1492 when an object is constructed)
1493 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1494 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1495 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1498 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1500 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1501 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1503 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1505 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1506 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1507 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1509 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1510 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1511 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1513 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1515 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1516 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1518 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1519 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1522 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1523 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1526 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1527 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1528 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1531 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1535 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1536 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1537 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1540 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1543 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1544 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1545 with recommended workarounds.
1547 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1548 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1550 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1551 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1552 (yes, spelled like that).
1554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1555 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1557 * Moose::Meta::Class
1558 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1559 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1561 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1564 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1565 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1566 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1567 instead. Reported by doy.
1569 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1571 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1572 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1575 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1576 message) is now deprecated.
1577 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1578 often got it wrong. For example:
1580 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1582 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1586 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1587 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1588 bite you in weird cases.
1590 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1591 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1592 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1593 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1595 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1596 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1600 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1603 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1604 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1607 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1608 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1611 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1614 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1615 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1616 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1617 - added tests for this (stevan)
1619 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1620 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1621 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1622 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1626 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1627 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1628 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1629 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1631 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1632 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1633 - added tests for this (rafl)
1635 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1636 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1637 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1638 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1642 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1643 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1646 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1647 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1648 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1650 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1652 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1653 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1656 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1657 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1658 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1659 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1662 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1663 error message did not specify the attribute name
1666 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1668 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1670 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1671 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1672 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1675 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1678 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1680 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1681 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1682 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1683 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1685 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1687 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1688 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1689 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1690 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1693 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1694 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1697 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1698 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1699 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1700 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1702 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1703 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1704 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1705 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1706 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1709 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1710 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1711 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1712 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1713 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1715 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1716 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1717 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1718 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1719 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1720 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1722 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1723 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1725 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1726 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1727 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1728 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1730 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1731 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1734 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1738 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1739 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1741 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1742 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1743 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1744 guts. (nothingmuch).
1746 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1747 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1748 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1751 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1752 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1753 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1755 * Moose::Meta::Class
1756 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1759 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1760 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1762 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1763 * Moose::Unsweetened
1764 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1767 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1768 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1769 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1770 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1771 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1772 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1774 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1775 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1776 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1777 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1778 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1779 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1780 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1781 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1782 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1783 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1787 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1788 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1791 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1792 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1793 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1795 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1796 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1797 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1798 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1799 same methods for a single role did not work
1800 right (worked just fine with multiple
1802 - added test for this (stevan)
1804 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1805 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1806 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1809 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1810 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1811 - added test for this (t0m)
1814 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1815 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1816 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1819 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1820 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1821 - added test for this (t0m)
1823 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1824 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1825 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1826 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1827 - added test for this (perigrin)
1830 - create method for constructing a role
1831 dynamically (Sartak)
1832 - added test for this (Sartak)
1833 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1834 - added test for this (Sartak)
1837 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1839 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1840 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1841 methods is useful (Sartak)
1843 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1845 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1848 * Moose::Meta::Class
1849 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1850 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1851 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1852 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1853 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1857 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1858 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1861 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1862 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1863 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1864 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1866 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1868 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1869 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1870 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1873 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1874 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1875 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1876 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1877 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1878 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1881 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1882 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1883 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1884 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1885 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1886 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1887 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1888 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1889 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1890 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1891 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1893 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1894 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1897 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1898 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1899 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1900 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1901 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1903 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1905 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1906 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1907 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1909 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1910 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1913 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1914 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1915 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1918 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1919 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1921 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1923 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1924 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1926 * Moose::Meta::Class
1927 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1928 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1929 a required attribute
1931 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1932 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1933 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1934 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1936 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1937 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1939 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1940 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1941 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1942 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1943 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1944 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1945 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1946 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1948 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1949 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1950 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1952 * Roles and role application
1953 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1954 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1955 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1956 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1957 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1959 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1960 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1963 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1964 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1965 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1966 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1967 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1970 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1971 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1972 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1973 changes in the Moose internals.
1975 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1976 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1977 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1980 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1981 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1982 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1983 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1985 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1986 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1987 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1988 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1991 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1992 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1993 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1994 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1995 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1996 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1997 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1998 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1999 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2000 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2001 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2002 constraint implementations.
2004 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2008 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2009 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2010 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2011 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2012 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2013 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2014 - added tests for this (rafl)
2016 * Moose::Meta::Class
2017 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2018 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2019 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2020 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2021 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2022 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2023 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2024 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2027 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2028 - added tests for this (thepler)
2030 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2031 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2032 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2033 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2036 * Moose::Meta::Class
2037 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2038 * Moose::Meta::Method
2041 * Moose::Error::Default
2042 * Moose::Error::Croak
2043 * Moose::Error::Confess
2044 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2045 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2046 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2047 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2048 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2049 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2051 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2053 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2054 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2056 * Moose::Unsweetened
2057 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2058 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2059 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2061 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2062 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2063 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2064 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2065 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2068 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2069 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2071 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2072 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2073 several major changes in this release of Moose.

2248 ... this is not my day today ...
2250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2251 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that

2254 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2257 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2258 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2259 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2301 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2302 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2303 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2304 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2305 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2306 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2307 - added tests for this
2309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2310 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2782 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2784 * Moose::Meta::Class
2785 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2786 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2787 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2788 method in the first place ;)
2790 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2791 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2792 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
2794 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
2795 - (see the POD for details)
2797 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
2798 - this release contains a major reworking and
2799 cleanup of the role system
2800 - 100% backwards compat.
2801 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2802 classes based on type of applicants
2803 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2804 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2805 used in this process
2806 - new Composite role metaclass
2807 - runtime application of roles to instances
2808 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2809 classes when applicable

2842 - added this module to support the refactor
2843 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2845 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2846 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2847 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2851 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2853 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2854 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2855 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2857 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2893 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2894 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2895 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2898 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2899 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2900 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2901 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2905 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2906 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2907 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2915 - added docs for this
2917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2918 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2919 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2920 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,

2937 - added tests for this
2940 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2941 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2944 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2980 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2983 - fixed how required methods are handled
2984 when they encounter overriden or modified
2985 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2986 - added tests for this
2988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2989 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2990 the | always creates a union and so is
2991 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2992 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2994 - added more tests for this
2996 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2999 * Parameterized Types
3000 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3001 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3002 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3003 They can also be nested:
3004 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3005 And work with the type unions as well:
3006 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3008 * Better Framework Extendability
3009 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3010 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3011 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3012 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3015 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3016 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3017 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3018 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3021 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3023 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3024 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
3027 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

3073 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
3075 - added tests for this
3077 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3083 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3084 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3086 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3087 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3088 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3089 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3156 (but not changing the handles option)
3157 - added tests and docs for this
3160 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3161 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3172 the other side (perigrin)
3174 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3175 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3176 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3177 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3178 prototypes for functions
3179 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3180 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3181 - added tests and docs for this

3190 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3193 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3194 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3195 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3196 - added tests for this
3198 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3200 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3222 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3224 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3225 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3226 so this release is just to fix that.
3229 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3230 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3231 (thanks to konobi for this)

3242 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3243 functions to facilitate introspection.
3245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3246 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3247 to build the list of delegated methods
3248 correctly (and not override important
3249 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3251 - added tests and docs for this
3252 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3253 so that you can actually document your
3254 attributes and inspect them through the
3256 - added tests and docs for this
3258 * Moose::Meta::Class
3259 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3260 it will first look in for the class in the
3261 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3262 then default to just loading $name.
3263 - added tests and docs for this
3265 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3266 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3267 - added test for this
3270 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3271 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3272 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3273 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3275 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3276 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3279 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3281 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3282 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3283 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3286 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3287 !! for this developer release to work !!
3289 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3290 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3291 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3292 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3293 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3294 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3295 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3296 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3297 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3298 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3299 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3301 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3302 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3303 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3304 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3307 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3309 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3310 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3311 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3313 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3315 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3316 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3319 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3320 called unless they actually need to be.
3321 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3322 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3323 DEMOLISH method present.
3325 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3326 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3327 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3328 type constraint, which allows for a
3329 hand optimized version of the type
3330 constraint to be used when possible.
3331 - Any internally created type constraints
3332 now provide an optimized version as well.
3334 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3336 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3337 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3338 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3340 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3341 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3342 your class namespace of these exported
3345 * Moose::Meta::Class
3346 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3347 comes up during global destruction
3349 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3353 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3357 - changed how we do type checks so that
3358 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3361 - moved accessor generation methods to
3362 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3363 conform to the API changes from
3366 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3367 - changed how constraints are compiled
3368 so that we do less recursion and more
3369 iteration. This makes the type check
3371 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3375 - created this from methods formerly found in
3376 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3378 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3379 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3381 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3382 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3384 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3385 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3387 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3390 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3391 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3392 - added tests for this
3393 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3394 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3395 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3396 - removed tests for this
3398 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3400 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3401 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3402 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3405 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3406 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3407 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3409 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3410 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3411 comments for more info.
3414 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3415 asked questions and common problems
3417 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3418 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3419 - added tests for this
3421 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3422 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3423 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3424 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3426 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3427 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3430 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3431 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3432 is much appreciated :)
3433 - added tests for this
3435 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3436 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3437 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3440 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3441 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3443 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3445 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3446 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3450 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily

3454 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3456 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3459 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3460 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3461 keywords because we need to localize them.
3462 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3464 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3465 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3466 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3469 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3472 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3473 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3474 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3477 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3478 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3479 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3481 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3483 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3484 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3485 bottom of your class file.
3488 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3491 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3493 - improved error message when loading modules so
3494 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3495 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3496 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3499 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3500 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3501 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3504 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3506 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3507 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3508 turn them on for you.
3509 - added tests for this
3510 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3511 in Moose::Meta::Class
3514 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3515 automatically turned on for you.
3516 - added tests for this
3519 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3520 - added tests for this
3521 - added some more edge case tests

3537 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3538 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3539 - This release works in combination with
3540 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3541 release because it uses the a new
3542 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3543 complete Role implementation. It has
3544 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3545 the the previous CPAN version. This
3546 release also lacks good updated docs,
3547 the official release will have updated docs.
3550 - refactored the keyword exports
3551 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3552 accepts more than one Role at a time
3553 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3554 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3557 - refactored the keyword exports
3558 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3559 accepts more than one Role at a time
3561 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3562 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3563 string enumerations which can be used as
3565 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3568 - more careful checking of params to new()
3571 - much work done on the role composition
3572 - many new tests for conflict detection
3573 and composition edge cases
3574 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3575 looking at the tests
3577 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3578 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3579 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3581 * Moose::Meta::Class
3582 - some small changes to support the new
3584 - some small additions to support Roles
3586 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3587 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3589 - some small changes to support the new
3591 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3592 with the 'handles' option
3593 - added several tests for this
3594 - no docs for this yet
3596 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3598 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3599 thanks to chansen for this commit
3600 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3601 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3602 on a per-attribute basis
3603 - added tests for this
3604 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3605 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3606 experimental feature and probably not finished
