1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
9 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
10 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
13 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
18 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
19 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
20 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
23 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
24 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
26 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
27 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
29 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
30 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
31 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
34 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
35 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
36 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily.
38 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens is the attribute has
39 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer).
41 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
42 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder.
44 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you defined a builder
51 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
52 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
53 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
55 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
56 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
57 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
60 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
61 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
62 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
64 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
65 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
66 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
68 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
69 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
73 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
74 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
75 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
77 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
78 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
79 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
80 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
82 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
86 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
87 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
90 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
91 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
93 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
97 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
98 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
99 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
101 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
105 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
106 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
110 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
111 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
112 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
114 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
115 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
116 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
118 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
122 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
124 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
128 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
130 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
131 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
136 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
137 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
139 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
140 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
141 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
142 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
143 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
145 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
146 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
147 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
148 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
150 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
154 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
155 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
160 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
162 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
164 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
169 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
171 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
175 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
176 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
177 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
179 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
180 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
181 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
182 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
184 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
185 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
186 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
187 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
188 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
191 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
196 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
197 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
198 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
199 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
200 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
203 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
207 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
210 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
211 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
215 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
216 function (not just method). (doy)
220 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
221 and aren't easily installable/testable.
223 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
227 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
228 to be overridden more easily (doy).
230 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
234 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
235 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
237 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
241 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
242 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
243 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
245 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
249 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
250 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
251 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
253 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
254 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
258 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
259 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
261 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
262 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
266 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
267 is applied to a class (t0m).
269 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
270 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
272 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
275 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
276 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
278 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
279 be much more robust. (doy)
281 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
283 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
286 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
290 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
291 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
293 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
297 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
298 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
300 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
303 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
304 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
305 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
307 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
308 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
309 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
312 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
314 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
318 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
319 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
323 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
325 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
329 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
330 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
334 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
335 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
339 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
341 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
345 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
346 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
350 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
351 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
355 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
356 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
358 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
362 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
363 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
364 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
367 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
371 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
372 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
373 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
374 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
376 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
380 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
381 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
382 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
386 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
389 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
393 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
394 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
395 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
399 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
400 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
402 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
403 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
404 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
405 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
407 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
411 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
415 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
416 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
418 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
419 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
420 - Moose::Util::does_role
421 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
422 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
423 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
425 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
429 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
430 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
431 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
434 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
438 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
439 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
442 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
446 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
447 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
450 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
454 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
456 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
457 class. (Dave Rolsky).
459 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
460 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
461 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
464 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
465 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
468 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
469 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
471 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
472 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
473 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
475 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
477 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
478 substr et al, again. (sorear)
480 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
482 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
485 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
486 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
488 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
489 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
491 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
492 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
493 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
494 dependencies installed.
496 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
497 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
500 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
502 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
506 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
508 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
509 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
510 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
512 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
513 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
514 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
516 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
517 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
520 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
521 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
522 others. (nothingmuch)
524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
525 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
526 remove_accessors. (doy)
528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
529 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
530 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
533 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
535 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
537 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
538 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
541 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
542 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
544 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
545 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
547 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
549 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
550 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
554 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
555 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
556 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
557 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
559 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
560 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
562 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
563 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
564 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
565 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
568 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
569 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
570 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
571 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
572 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
574 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
575 which were not receiving the value of
576 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
577 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
578 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
579 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
583 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
584 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
585 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
586 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
587 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
591 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
592 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
593 - added tests for this (Stevan)
596 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
597 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
598 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
601 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
603 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
605 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
606 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
607 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
610 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
611 class if you pass it options for
612 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
613 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
614 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
615 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
616 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
617 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
618 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
619 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
620 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
622 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
623 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
624 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
625 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
626 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
629 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
631 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
632 existing delegation API. (hdp)
634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
635 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
636 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
637 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
638 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
639 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
642 * Moose::Error::Croak
643 * Moose::Error::Confess
644 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
645 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
648 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
651 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
652 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
653 installing a broken sub. (doy)
656 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
659 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
660 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
661 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
663 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
664 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
665 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
666 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
667 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
669 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
670 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
673 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
675 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
676 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
679 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
680 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
684 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
685 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
687 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
688 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
689 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
690 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
691 using it for new code!
693 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
694 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
695 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
696 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
698 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
699 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
700 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
701 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
702 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
703 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
704 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
705 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
708 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
711 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
712 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
716 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
719 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
720 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
723 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
724 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
725 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
728 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
729 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
731 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
732 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
733 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
736 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
738 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
739 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
740 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
741 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
743 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
745 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
749 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
750 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
752 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
753 associated_methods. (hdp)
754 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
755 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
756 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
757 misspelled) arguments
759 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
760 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
761 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
762 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
765 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
766 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
768 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
772 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
773 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
776 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
777 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
779 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
781 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
782 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
784 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
785 * Moose::Manual::Types
786 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
787 string parsing rathole (mst)
789 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
790 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
791 using plain objects instead
793 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
794 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
797 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
799 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
800 three times today (perigrin)
801 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
802 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
805 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
806 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
807 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
810 - A role's required methods are now represented by
811 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
812 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
813 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
814 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
815 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
818 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
819 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
820 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
821 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
824 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
826 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
829 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
831 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
834 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
835 during global destruction. This method has been made more
836 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
840 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
841 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
844 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
845 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
847 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
848 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
849 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
852 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
854 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
855 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
858 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
862 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
863 methods during global destruction (doy)
866 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
867 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
871 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
872 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
875 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
876 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
879 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
880 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
882 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
884 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
888 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
889 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
890 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
893 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
894 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
895 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
898 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
900 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
901 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
902 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
905 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
906 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
907 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
908 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
910 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
911 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
912 of the Moose core (Sartak)
915 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
918 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
919 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
920 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
924 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
925 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
928 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
930 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
933 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
934 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
937 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
938 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
941 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
942 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
945 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
948 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
951 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
955 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
957 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
958 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
961 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
962 * More deprecations and renamings
963 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
964 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
965 when an object is constructed)
968 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
969 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
970 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
972 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
973 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
974 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
975 feature, and it works again.
978 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
980 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
982 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
983 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
984 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
987 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
988 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
989 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
990 message. Test provided by perigrin.
992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
993 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
994 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
995 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
996 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
999 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1000 metaclass object. (hdp)
1002 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1003 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1004 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1005 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1006 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1007 point out this fact. (hdp)
1009 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1010 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1012 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1013 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1015 * Moose::Meta::Class
1016 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1017 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1018 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1019 called during instance construction were passed the
1020 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1021 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1023 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1024 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1027 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1028 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1029 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1032 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1033 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1034 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1035 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1036 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1038 - Moose::Meta::Class
1039 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1041 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1042 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1043 when an object is constructed)
1044 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1046 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1047 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1048 when an object is constructed)
1049 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1050 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1051 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1054 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1056 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1057 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1059 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1061 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1062 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1063 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1065 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1066 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1067 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1069 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1071 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1072 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1074 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1075 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1078 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1079 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1082 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1083 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1084 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1086 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1087 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1091 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1092 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1093 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1096 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1099 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1100 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1101 with recommended workarounds.
1103 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1104 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1107 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1108 (yes, spelled like that).
1110 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1111 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1113 * Moose::Meta::Class
1114 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1115 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1117 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1120 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1121 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1122 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1123 instead. Reported by doy.
1125 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1127 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1128 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1131 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1132 message) is now deprecated.
1133 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1134 often got it wrong. For example:
1136 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1138 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1142 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1143 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1144 bite you in weird cases.
1146 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1147 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1148 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1149 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1152 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1156 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1159 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1160 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1163 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1164 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1167 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1170 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1171 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1172 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1173 - added tests for this (stevan)
1175 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1176 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1177 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1178 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1182 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1183 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1184 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1185 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1187 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1188 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1189 - added tests for this (rafl)
1191 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1192 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1193 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1194 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1198 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1199 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1203 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1204 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1206 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1208 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1209 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1211 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1212 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1213 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1214 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1215 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1218 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1219 error message did not specify the attribute name
1222 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1224 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1226 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1227 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1228 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1230 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1231 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1234 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1236 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1237 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1238 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1239 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1241 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1243 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1244 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1245 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1246 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1249 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1250 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1252 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1253 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1254 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1255 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1256 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1258 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1259 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1260 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1261 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1262 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1264 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1265 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1266 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1267 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1268 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1269 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1271 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1272 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1273 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1274 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1275 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1276 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1279 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1281 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1282 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1283 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1284 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1286 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1287 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1290 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1294 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1295 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1298 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1299 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1300 guts. (nothingmuch).
1302 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1303 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1304 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1307 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1308 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1309 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1311 * Moose::Meta::Class
1312 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1315 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1316 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1318 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1319 * Moose::Unsweetened
1320 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1323 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1324 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1325 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1326 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1327 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1328 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1331 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1332 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1333 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1334 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1335 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1336 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1337 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1338 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1339 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1341 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1343 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1344 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1346 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1347 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1348 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1349 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1351 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1352 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1353 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1354 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1355 same methods for a single role did not work
1356 right (worked just fine with multiple
1358 - added test for this (stevan)
1360 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1361 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1362 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1365 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1366 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1367 - added test for this (t0m)
1370 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1371 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1372 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1375 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1376 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1377 - added test for this (t0m)
1379 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1380 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1381 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1382 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1383 - added test for this (perigrin)
1386 - create method for constructing a role
1387 dynamically (Sartak)
1388 - added test for this (Sartak)
1389 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1390 - added test for this (Sartak)
1393 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1395 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1396 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1397 methods is useful (Sartak)
1399 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1401 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1404 * Moose::Meta::Class
1405 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1406 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1407 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1408 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1409 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1410 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1413 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1414 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1416 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1417 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1418 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1419 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1420 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1422 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1424 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1425 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1426 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1429 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1430 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1431 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1432 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1433 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1434 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1438 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1439 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1440 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1441 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1442 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1443 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1444 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1445 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1446 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1447 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1449 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1450 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1453 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1454 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1455 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1456 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1457 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1459 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1461 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1462 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1463 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1465 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1466 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1468 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1469 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1470 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1471 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1474 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1475 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1477 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1479 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1480 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1482 * Moose::Meta::Class
1483 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1484 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1485 a required attribute
1487 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1489 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1490 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1492 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1493 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1495 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1496 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1497 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1498 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1499 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1500 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1501 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1502 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1504 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1505 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1506 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1508 * Roles and role application
1509 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1510 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1511 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1512 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1513 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1515 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1516 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1519 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1520 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1521 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1522 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1523 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1526 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1527 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1528 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1529 changes in the Moose internals.
1531 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1533 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1536 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1537 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1538 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1539 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1541 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1542 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1543 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1544 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1546 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1547 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1548 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1549 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1550 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1551 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1552 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1553 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1554 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1555 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1556 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1557 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1558 constraint implementations.
1560 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1564 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1565 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1566 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1567 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1568 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1569 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1570 - added tests for this (rafl)
1572 * Moose::Meta::Class
1573 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1574 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1575 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1576 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1577 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1578 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1579 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1580 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1583 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1584 - added tests for this (thepler)
1586 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1587 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1588 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1589 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1592 * Moose::Meta::Class
1593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1594 * Moose::Meta::Method
1597 * Moose::Error::Default
1598 * Moose::Error::Croak
1599 * Moose::Error::Confess
1600 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1601 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1602 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1603 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1604 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1605 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1607 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1609 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1610 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1612 * Moose::Unsweetened
1613 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1614 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1615 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1618 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1619 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1620 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1621 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1624 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1625 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1627 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1628 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1629 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1630 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1633 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1635 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1636 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1638 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1641 - Various bug fixes.
1643 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1644 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1646 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1648 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1649 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1650 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1651 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1652 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1653 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1656 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1657 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1659 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1661 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1664 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1665 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1666 dependency to 0.64_07.
1668 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1669 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1670 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1672 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1673 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1676 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1677 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1678 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1679 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1680 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1681 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1683 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1684 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1686 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1688 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1689 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1693 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1694 method when that method was provided by another role being
1695 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1696 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1698 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1700 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1701 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1703 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1704 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1705 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1706 - added test for this (t0m)
1708 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1709 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1710 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1712 - added test for this (t0m)
1715 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1716 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1717 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1720 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1721 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1723 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1725 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1726 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1729 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1730 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1733 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1738 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1739 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1743 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1744 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1745 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1748 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1749 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1750 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1751 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1754 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1758 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1759 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1760 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1762 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1763 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1764 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1765 created so that the process can be more easily
1766 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1769 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1770 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1771 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1774 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1777 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1778 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1780 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1781 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1782 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1784 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1785 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1786 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1788 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1789 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1791 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1792 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1795 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1796 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1800 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1801 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1803 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1804 ... this is not my day today ...
1806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1807 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1808 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1809 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1810 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1813 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1814 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1815 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1816 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1817 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1820 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1822 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1823 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1824 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1825 this is not ever something you want to do
1826 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1827 - added tests for this (stevan)
1830 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1832 - added test for this
1834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1835 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1836 - added tests for this (wreis)
1838 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1839 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1840 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1841 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1843 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1844 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1845 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1848 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1850 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1852 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1855 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1856 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1857 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1858 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1859 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1860 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1861 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1862 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1863 - added tests for this
1865 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1866 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1867 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1868 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1870 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1873 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1874 - added tests for this (sartak)
1875 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1876 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1879 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1881 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1882 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1885 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1886 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1887 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1889 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1891 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1892 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1895 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

1897 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1900 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1901 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1903 - added docs for this (TODO).
1904 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1905 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1906 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

1912 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1914 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1915 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1916 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1920 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1924 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
1925 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1926 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1929 - move the ClassName type check code to
1930 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1932 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1933 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1935 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1936 (early morning release engineering)--
1938 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1939 which was causing the indexer to choke
1941 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1942 (late night release engineering)--
1944 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1945 changes in this release
1947 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1948 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1949 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1951 * Moose::Meta::Class
1952 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1953 since it is called so often by &meta
1955 * Moose::Meta::Class
1957 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1958 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1961 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1962 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1963 method for immutablization to check if the
1964 destructor object even needs to be created
1967 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1968 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1969 - added more descriptive error message to help
1970 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1971 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1973 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1975 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1976 XS based functionality is now optional
1977 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1978 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1979 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1981 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1982 to take care of this, mostly we added
1983 support for the package_name and name
1984 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1985 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1986 support regexp matching of names
1987 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1988 - tests added for this
1989 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1990 is currently not supported in roles,
1991 but, ... patches welcome
1992 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1993 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1994 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1997 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1998 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1999 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2000 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2001 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2002 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2003 - added test for this
2005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2006 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2007 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2010 * Moose::Meta::Class
2011 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2015 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2017 - added tests for this
2018 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2019 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2022 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2023 themselves parameterizable types
2025 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2026 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2027 called by the inlined immutable
2029 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2031 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2032 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2033 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2034 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2036 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2037 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2041 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2042 causing occasional cpantester failures
2043 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2044 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2046 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2048 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2049 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2052 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2053 ->body when looping through the
2054 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2056 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2057 eating the $@ values, and so not
2058 working correctly, it still kind of
2059 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2060 - added tests for this
2062 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7

2200 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2202 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2552 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2555 * Parameterized Types
2556 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2557 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2558 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2559 They can also be nested:
2560 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2561 And work with the type unions as well:
2562 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2564 * Better Framework Extendability
2565 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2566 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2567 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2568 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2571 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2572 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2573 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2574 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2737 - added tests and docs for this
2738 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
2739 default for where be { 1 }
2740 - added test for this
2742 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2743 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
2744 merlyn for finding this bug
2745 - tests added for this
2746 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2749 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2750 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2751 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2752 - added tests for this
2754 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2756 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2769 where not handled correctly in roles
2770 - added tests for this
2772 * Moose::Meta::Class
2773 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
2774 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
2775 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
2777 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
2778 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2780 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
2781 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
2782 so this release is just to fix that.
2785 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2786 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2787 (thanks to konobi for this)
2788 - added tests and docs
2790 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

2793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2794 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2795 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2796 - added tests for this
2797 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2798 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2799 functions to facilitate introspection.
2801 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2802 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2803 to build the list of delegated methods
2804 correctly (and not override important
2805 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2807 - added tests and docs for this
2808 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2809 so that you can actually document your
2810 attributes and inspect them through the
2812 - added tests and docs for this
2814 * Moose::Meta::Class
2815 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2816 it will first look in for the class in the
2817 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2818 then default to just loading $name.
2819 - added tests and docs for this
2821 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2822 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2823 - added test for this
2826 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2827 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2828 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2829 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2831 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2832 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2835 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2837 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2838 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2839 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2842 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2843 !! for this developer release to work !!
2845 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2846 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2847 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2848 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2849 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2850 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2851 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2852 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2853 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2854 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2855 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2857 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2858 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2859 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2860 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2863 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2865 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2866 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2867 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2869 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2871 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2872 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2875 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2876 called unless they actually need to be.
2877 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2878 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2879 DEMOLISH method present.
2881 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2882 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2883 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2884 type constraint, which allows for a
2885 hand optimized version of the type
2886 constraint to be used when possible.
2887 - Any internally created type constraints
2888 now provide an optimized version as well.
2890 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2892 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2893 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2894 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2897 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2898 your class namespace of these exported
2901 * Moose::Meta::Class
2902 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2903 comes up during global destruction
2905 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2909 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2912 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2913 - changed how we do type checks so that
2914 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2917 - moved accessor generation methods to
2918 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2919 conform to the API changes from
2922 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2923 - changed how constraints are compiled
2924 so that we do less recursion and more
2925 iteration. This makes the type check
2927 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2930 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2931 - created this from methods formerly found in
2932 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2934 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2935 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2937 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2938 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2940 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2941 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2943 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2945 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2946 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2947 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2948 - added tests for this
2949 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2950 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2951 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2952 - removed tests for this
2954 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2956 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2957 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2958 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2961 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2962 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2963 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2965 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2966 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2967 comments for more info.
2970 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2971 asked questions and common problems
2973 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2974 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2975 - added tests for this
2977 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2978 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2979 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2980 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2982 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2983 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2986 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2987 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2988 is much appreciated :)
2989 - added tests for this
2991 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2992 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2993 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2997 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2999 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3001 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3002 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3006 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3007 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3008 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3010 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3012 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3015 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3016 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3017 keywords because we need to localize them.
3018 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3020 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3021 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3022 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3025 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3028 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3029 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3030 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3033 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3034 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3035 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3037 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3039 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3040 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3041 bottom of your class file.
3044 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3047 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3049 - improved error message when loading modules so
3050 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3051 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3052 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3055 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3056 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3057 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3059 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3060 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3062 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3063 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3064 turn them on for you.
3065 - added tests for this

3094 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3095 - This release works in combination with
3096 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3097 release because it uses the a new
3098 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3099 complete Role implementation. It has
3100 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3101 the the previous CPAN version. This
3102 release also lacks good updated docs,
3103 the official release will have updated docs.
3106 - refactored the keyword exports
3107 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3108 accepts more than one Role at a time

3114 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3115 accepts more than one Role at a time
3117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3119 string enumerations which can be used as
3121 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3124 - more careful checking of params to new()
3127 - much work done on the role composition
3128 - many new tests for conflict detection
3129 and composition edge cases
3130 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3131 looking at the tests
3133 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3134 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3135 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3145 - some small changes to support the new
3147 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3148 with the 'handles' option
