1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
7 constraint has a coercion defined. If it doesn't, an error will be thrown
8 when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
13 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
14 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
15 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
16 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
19 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
23 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
26 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
27 constraint parser (doy, nothingmuch).
31 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
32 and aren't easily installable/testable.
34 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
38 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
39 to be overridden more easily (doy).
41 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
45 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
46 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
48 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
52 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
53 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
54 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
56 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
60 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
61 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
62 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
64 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
65 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
69 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
70 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
72 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
73 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
77 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
78 is applied to a class (t0m).
80 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
81 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
83 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
86 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
87 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
89 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
90 be much more robust. (doy)
92 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
94 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
97 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
101 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
102 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
104 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
108 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
109 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
111 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
114 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
115 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
116 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
118 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
119 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
120 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
123 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
125 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
129 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
130 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
134 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
136 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
140 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
141 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
145 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
146 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
150 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
152 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
156 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
157 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
161 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
162 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
166 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
167 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
169 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
173 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
174 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
175 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
178 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
182 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
183 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
184 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
185 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
187 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
191 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
192 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
193 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
197 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
200 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
205 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
206 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
210 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
211 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
213 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
214 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
215 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
216 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
218 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
222 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
226 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
227 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
229 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
230 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
231 - Moose::Util::does_role
232 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
233 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
234 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
236 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
240 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
241 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
242 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
245 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
249 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
250 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
253 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
257 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
258 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
261 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
265 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
267 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
268 class. (Dave Rolsky).
270 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
271 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
272 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
274 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
275 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
276 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
279 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
280 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
282 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
283 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
284 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
286 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
288 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
289 substr et al, again. (sorear)
291 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
293 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
296 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
297 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
299 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
300 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
302 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
303 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
304 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
305 dependencies installed.
307 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
308 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
311 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
313 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
317 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
319 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
320 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
321 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
324 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
325 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
327 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
328 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
331 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
332 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
333 others. (nothingmuch)
335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
336 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
337 remove_accessors. (doy)
339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
340 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
341 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
343 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
344 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
346 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
347 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
348 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
349 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
352 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
353 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
356 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
358 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
360 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
361 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
364 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
365 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
366 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
367 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
368 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
370 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
371 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
372 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
373 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
374 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
375 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
376 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
379 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
380 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
381 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
382 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
383 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
385 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
386 which were not receiving the value of
387 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
388 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
389 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
390 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
394 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
395 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
396 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
397 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
398 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
402 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
403 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
404 - added tests for this (Stevan)
407 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
408 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
409 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
412 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
413 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
414 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
416 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
417 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
418 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
421 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
422 class if you pass it options for
423 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
424 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
425 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
426 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
427 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
428 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
429 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
430 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
431 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
433 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
434 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
435 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
436 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
437 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
440 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
441 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
442 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
443 existing delegation API. (hdp)
445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
446 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
447 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
448 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
449 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
450 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
453 * Moose::Error::Croak
454 * Moose::Error::Confess
455 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
456 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
459 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
462 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
463 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
464 installing a broken sub. (doy)
467 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
470 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
471 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
472 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
474 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
475 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
476 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
477 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
478 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
480 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
481 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
484 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
486 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
487 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
490 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
491 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
493 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
495 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
496 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
499 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
500 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
501 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
502 using it for new code!
504 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
505 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
506 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
507 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
509 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
510 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
511 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
512 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
513 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
514 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
515 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
516 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
519 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
522 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
523 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
527 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
530 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
531 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
534 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
535 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
536 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
539 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
540 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
543 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
544 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
547 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
549 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
550 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
551 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
552 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
554 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
556 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
560 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
561 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
563 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
564 associated_methods. (hdp)
565 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
566 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
567 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
568 misspelled) arguments
570 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
571 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
572 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
573 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
575 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
576 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
577 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
579 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
582 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
583 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
584 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
587 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
588 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
590 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
592 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
593 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
595 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
596 * Moose::Manual::Types
597 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
598 string parsing rathole (mst)
600 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
601 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
602 using plain objects instead
604 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
605 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
608 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
610 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
611 three times today (perigrin)
612 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
613 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
615 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
616 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
617 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
618 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
621 - A role's required methods are now represented by
622 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
623 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
624 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
625 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
626 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
629 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
630 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
631 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
632 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
635 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
637 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
640 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
642 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
645 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
646 during global destruction. This method has been made more
647 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
651 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
652 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
655 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
656 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
658 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
659 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
660 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
663 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
665 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
666 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
669 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
673 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
674 methods during global destruction (doy)
677 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
678 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
682 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
683 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
686 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
687 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
690 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
691 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
693 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
695 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
699 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
700 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
701 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
704 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
705 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
706 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
709 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
711 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
712 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
713 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
716 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
717 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
718 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
719 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
721 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
722 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
723 of the Moose core (Sartak)
726 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
729 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
730 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
731 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
735 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
736 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
739 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
741 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
744 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
745 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
748 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
749 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
752 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
753 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
756 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
759 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
761 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
762 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
766 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
769 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
772 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
773 * More deprecations and renamings
774 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
775 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
776 when an object is constructed)
779 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
780 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
781 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
784 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
785 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
786 feature, and it works again.
789 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
791 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
793 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
794 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
795 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
797 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
798 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
799 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
800 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
801 message. Test provided by perigrin.
803 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
804 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
805 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
806 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
807 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
810 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
811 metaclass object. (hdp)
813 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
814 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
815 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
816 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
817 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
818 point out this fact. (hdp)
820 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
821 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
823 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
824 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
827 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
828 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
829 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
830 called during instance construction were passed the
831 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
832 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
834 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
835 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
838 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
839 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
840 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
843 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
844 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
845 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
846 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
847 them, but they are not for "public" use.
850 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
852 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
853 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
854 when an object is constructed)
855 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
857 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
858 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
859 when an object is constructed)
860 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
861 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
862 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
865 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
867 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
868 * No changes from 0.72_01.
870 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
872 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
873 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
874 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
876 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
877 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
878 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
880 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
882 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
883 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
885 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
886 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
889 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
890 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
893 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
894 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
895 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
897 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
898 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
902 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
903 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
904 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
906 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
907 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
910 * Moose::Manual::Delta
911 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
912 with recommended workarounds.
914 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
915 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
917 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
918 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
919 (yes, spelled like that).
921 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
922 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
925 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
926 changes in latest Class::MOP.
928 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
930 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
931 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
932 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
933 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
934 instead. Reported by doy.
936 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
938 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
939 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
941 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
942 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
943 message) is now deprecated.
944 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
945 often got it wrong. For example:
947 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
949 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
953 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
954 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
955 bite you in weird cases.
957 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
958 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
959 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
962 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
963 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
967 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
970 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
971 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
974 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
975 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
977 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
978 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
981 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
983 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
984 - added tests for this (stevan)
986 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
987 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
988 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
989 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
993 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
994 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
995 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
996 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
998 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
999 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1000 - added tests for this (rafl)
1002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1003 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1004 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1005 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1009 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1010 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1013 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1014 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1015 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1017 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1019 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1020 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1022 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1023 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1024 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1025 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1026 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1029 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1030 error message did not specify the attribute name
1033 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1035 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1037 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1038 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1039 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1042 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1045 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1047 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1048 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1049 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1050 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1052 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1054 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1055 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1056 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1057 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1060 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1061 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1063 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1064 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1065 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1066 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1067 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1070 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1071 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1072 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1073 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1075 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1076 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1077 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1078 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1079 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1080 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1082 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1083 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1084 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1085 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1086 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1087 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1090 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1092 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1093 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1094 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1095 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1098 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1101 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1105 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1106 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1108 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1109 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1110 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1111 guts. (nothingmuch).
1113 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1115 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1118 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1119 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1120 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Class
1123 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1126 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1127 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1129 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1130 * Moose::Unsweetened
1131 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1134 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1135 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1136 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1137 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1138 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1139 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1142 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1143 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1144 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1145 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1146 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1147 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1148 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1149 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1150 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1152 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1154 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1155 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1157 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1158 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1159 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1160 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1163 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1164 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1165 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1166 same methods for a single role did not work
1167 right (worked just fine with multiple
1169 - added test for this (stevan)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1172 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1173 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1176 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1177 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1178 - added test for this (t0m)
1181 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1182 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1183 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1186 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1187 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1188 - added test for this (t0m)
1190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1191 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1192 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1193 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1194 - added test for this (perigrin)
1197 - create method for constructing a role
1198 dynamically (Sartak)
1199 - added test for this (Sartak)
1200 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1201 - added test for this (Sartak)
1204 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1206 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1207 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1208 methods is useful (Sartak)
1210 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1211 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1212 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1215 * Moose::Meta::Class
1216 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1217 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1218 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1219 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1220 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1221 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1224 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1225 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1227 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1228 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1229 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1230 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1231 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1233 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1235 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1236 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1237 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1240 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1241 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1242 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1243 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1244 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1245 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1249 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1250 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1251 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1252 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1253 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1254 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1255 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1256 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1257 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1258 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1260 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1261 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1265 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1266 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1267 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1268 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1270 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1272 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1273 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1274 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1277 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1280 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1281 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1282 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1285 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1286 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1288 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1290 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1291 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1293 * Moose::Meta::Class
1294 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1295 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1296 a required attribute
1298 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1300 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1301 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1303 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1304 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1307 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1308 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1309 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1310 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1311 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1312 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1313 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1315 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1316 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1317 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1319 * Roles and role application
1320 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1321 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1322 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1323 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1324 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1326 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1327 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1330 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1331 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1332 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1333 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1334 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1337 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1338 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1339 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1340 changes in the Moose internals.
1342 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1343 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1344 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1347 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1348 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1349 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1350 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1352 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1353 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1354 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1355 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1357 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1358 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1359 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1360 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1361 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1362 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1363 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1364 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1365 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1366 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1367 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1368 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1369 constraint implementations.
1371 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1375 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1376 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1377 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1378 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1379 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1380 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1381 - added tests for this (rafl)
1383 * Moose::Meta::Class
1384 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1385 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1386 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1387 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1388 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1389 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1390 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1391 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1394 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1395 - added tests for this (thepler)
1397 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1398 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1399 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1400 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1403 * Moose::Meta::Class
1404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1405 * Moose::Meta::Method
1408 * Moose::Error::Default
1409 * Moose::Error::Croak
1410 * Moose::Error::Confess
1411 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1412 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1413 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1414 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1415 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1416 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1418 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1420 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1421 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1423 * Moose::Unsweetened
1424 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1425 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1426 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1428 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1429 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1430 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1431 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1432 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1435 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1436 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1438 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1439 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1440 several major changes in this release of Moose.

1483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1484 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1487 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1488 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1489 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1490 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1491 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1492 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1494 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1495 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1497 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1499 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1500 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1504 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required

1507 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1509 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1517 - added test for this (t0m)
1519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1520 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1521 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1523 - added test for this (t0m)
1526 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1527 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1528 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1531 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1532 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1534 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1536 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1537 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1539 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1540 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1541 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1543 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1544 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1547 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

1550 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1554 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1555 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1556 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1565 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1569 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1575 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1576 created so that the process can be more easily

1611 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1612 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1614 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1615 ... this is not my day today ...
1617 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1618 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1619 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1620 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1621 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1624 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1625 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1626 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1627 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1628 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1631 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1633 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1634 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1635 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1636 this is not ever something you want to do

1638 - added tests for this (stevan)
1641 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1643 - added test for this

1656 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1659 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1661 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1663 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1666 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1667 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1668 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1669 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1670 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1671 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1672 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1673 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1674 - added tests for this
1676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1677 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1678 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1679 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1750 which was causing the indexer to choke
1752 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1753 (late night release engineering)--
1755 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional

1772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1773 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1774 method for immutablization to check if the
1775 destructor object even needs to be created
1778 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1779 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1780 - added more descriptive error message to help
1781 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1782 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1784 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1786 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1787 XS based functionality is now optional
1788 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1789 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1790 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1792 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1793 to take care of this, mostly we added
1794 support for the package_name and name

1797 support regexp matching of names
1798 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1800 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1801 is currently not supported in roles,
1802 but, ... patches welcome

1809 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1810 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1811 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1812 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1813 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1814 - added test for this
1816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1817 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1818 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1821 * Moose::Meta::Class

1826 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1828 - added tests for this

1838 called by the inlined immutable
1840 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1842 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1843 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1844 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1845 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

1863 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1864 ->body when looping through the
1865 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1867 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1868 eating the $@ values, and so not
1869 working correctly, it still kind of
1870 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1871 - added tests for this
1873 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1874 - added new recipe for immutable
1875 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

1893 drink more coffee before
1894 doing release engineering
1896 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2011 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2013 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2053 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2056 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2057 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2058 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2059 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2061 - added more delegation tests
2062 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2063 support traits and their introspection.
2064 - added tests for this

2220 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2221 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

2304 - added tests for this
2307 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2308 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2350 - fixed how required methods are handled
2351 when they encounter overriden or modified
2352 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2353 - added tests for this
2355 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2356 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2357 the | always creates a union and so is
2358 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2359 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2361 - added more tests for this
2363 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2366 * Parameterized Types
2367 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2368 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2369 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2370 They can also be nested:
2371 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2372 And work with the type unions as well:
2373 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2375 * Better Framework Extendability
2376 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2377 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2378 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2379 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2382 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2383 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2384 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2385 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2388 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2390 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2391 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2619 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2620 so that you can actually document your
2621 attributes and inspect them through the

2625 * Moose::Meta::Class
2626 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2627 it will first look in for the class in the

2629 then default to just loading $name.
2630 - added tests and docs for this
2632 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2633 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2634 - added test for this

2639 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2640 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2642 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2643 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2646 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2648 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2649 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2650 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2653 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2654 !! for this developer release to work !!
2656 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2657 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2658 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2659 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2660 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2661 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2662 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2663 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2664 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2665 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2666 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2668 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2669 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2670 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2671 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2674 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2675 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2676 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2677 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2678 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2680 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2682 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2683 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2686 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2687 called unless they actually need to be.
2688 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2689 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2690 DEMOLISH method present.
2692 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2693 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2694 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2695 type constraint, which allows for a
2696 hand optimized version of the type
2697 constraint to be used when possible.
2698 - Any internally created type constraints
2699 now provide an optimized version as well.
2701 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2703 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2704 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2705 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2707 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2708 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2709 your class namespace of these exported
2712 * Moose::Meta::Class
2713 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2714 comes up during global destruction
2716 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2720 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2724 - changed how we do type checks so that
2725 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2728 - moved accessor generation methods to
2729 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2730 conform to the API changes from
2733 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2734 - changed how constraints are compiled
2735 so that we do less recursion and more
2736 iteration. This makes the type check
2738 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2742 - created this from methods formerly found in
2743 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2745 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2746 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2749 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2751 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2752 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2754 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2756 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2757 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2758 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2759 - added tests for this
2760 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2761 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2762 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2763 - removed tests for this
2765 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2767 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2768 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2769 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2772 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2773 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2774 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2776 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2777 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2778 comments for more info.
2781 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2782 asked questions and common problems
2784 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2785 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2786 - added tests for this
2788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2789 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2790 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2791 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2793 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2794 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2797 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2798 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2799 is much appreciated :)
2800 - added tests for this
2802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2803 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2804 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2807 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2808 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2810 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2812 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2813 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2817 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2818 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2819 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2821 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2823 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2826 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2827 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2828 keywords because we need to localize them.
2829 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2831 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2832 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2833 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2836 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2839 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2840 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2841 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2844 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2845 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2846 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2848 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2850 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2851 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2852 bottom of your class file.
2855 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2858 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2860 - improved error message when loading modules so
2861 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2862 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2863 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2866 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2867 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2868 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2870 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2871 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2873 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2874 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2875 turn them on for you.
2876 - added tests for this
2877 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2878 in Moose::Meta::Class
2881 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2882 automatically turned on for you.

2886 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2887 - added tests for this

2901 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2904 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2905 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2906 - This release works in combination with
2907 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2908 release because it uses the a new
2909 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2910 complete Role implementation. It has
2911 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2912 the the previous CPAN version. This
2913 release also lacks good updated docs,
2914 the official release will have updated docs.
2917 - refactored the keyword exports
2918 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2919 accepts more than one Role at a time
2920 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2921 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2924 - refactored the keyword exports
2925 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2926 accepts more than one Role at a time
2928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2929 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2930 string enumerations which can be used as
2932 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2935 - more careful checking of params to new()
2938 - much work done on the role composition
2939 - many new tests for conflict detection
2940 and composition edge cases
2941 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2942 looking at the tests
2944 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2945 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2946 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2948 * Moose::Meta::Class
2949 - some small changes to support the new
2951 - some small additions to support Roles
2953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2954 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2956 - some small changes to support the new
2958 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2959 with the 'handles' option
2960 - added several tests for this
2961 - no docs for this yet
2963 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2965 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2966 thanks to chansen for this commit
2967 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2968 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2969 on a per-attribute basis
2970 - added tests for this
2971 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2972 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2973 experimental feature and probably not finished
2974 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2975 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2976 - added tests for this

3038 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3040 - added test for this
3043 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
