1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
6 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
7 non-lvalue-based meta instances.
9 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
10 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers
11 to the existing delegation API. (hdp)
13 * Moose::AttributeHelpers
14 - Moved in from MooseX with API tweaks. See Moose::Manual::Delta for
15 details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels)
18 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
19 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
20 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
23 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
24 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
26 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
27 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
28 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
31 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
32 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
33 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
34 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
35 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
36 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
38 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
40 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
43 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
44 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
45 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
47 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
48 associated_methods. (hdp)
49 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
50 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
51 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
54 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
55 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
56 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
57 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
59 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
60 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
61 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
63 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
66 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
67 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
68 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
71 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
72 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
74 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
76 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
77 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
79 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
80 * Moose::Manual::Types
81 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
82 string parsing rathole (mst)
84 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
85 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
86 using plain objects instead
89 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
94 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
95 three times today (perigrin)
96 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
97 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
99 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
100 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
101 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
102 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
105 - A role's required methods are now represented by
106 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
107 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
108 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
109 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
110 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
113 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
114 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
115 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
116 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
119 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
121 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
124 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
126 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
129 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
130 during global destruction. This method has been made more
131 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
135 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
136 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
139 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
140 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
142 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
143 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
144 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
147 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
149 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
150 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
153 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
157 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
158 methods during global destruction (doy)
161 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
162 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
166 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
167 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
170 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
171 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
174 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
175 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
177 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
179 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
183 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
184 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
185 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
188 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
189 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
190 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
193 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
195 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
196 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
197 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
201 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
202 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
203 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
205 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
206 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
207 of the Moose core (Sartak)
210 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
213 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
214 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
215 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
219 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
220 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
223 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
225 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
228 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
229 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
232 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
233 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
236 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
237 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
240 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
243 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
245 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
246 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
250 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
253 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
256 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
257 * More deprecations and renamings
258 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
259 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
260 when an object is constructed)
263 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
264 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
265 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
268 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
269 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
270 feature, and it works again.
273 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
275 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
277 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
278 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
279 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
282 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
283 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
284 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
285 message. Test provided by perigrin.
287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
288 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
289 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
290 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
291 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
294 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
295 metaclass object. (hdp)
297 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
298 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
299 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
300 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
301 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
302 point out this fact. (hdp)
304 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
305 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
307 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
308 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
312 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
313 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
314 called during instance construction were passed the
315 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
316 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
318 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
319 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
322 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
323 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
324 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
327 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
328 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
329 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
330 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
331 them, but they are not for "public" use.
334 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
336 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
337 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
338 when an object is constructed)
339 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
341 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
342 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
343 when an object is constructed)
344 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
345 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
346 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
349 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
351 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
352 * No changes from 0.72_01.
354 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
356 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
357 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
358 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
360 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
361 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
362 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
364 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
366 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
367 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
369 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
370 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
373 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
374 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
377 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
378 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
379 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
381 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
382 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
386 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
387 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
388 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
390 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
391 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
394 * Moose::Manual::Delta
395 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
396 with recommended workarounds.
398 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
399 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
402 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
403 (yes, spelled like that).
405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
406 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
409 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
410 changes in latest Class::MOP.
412 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
415 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
416 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
417 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
418 instead. Reported by doy.
420 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
422 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
423 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
425 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
426 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
427 message) is now deprecated.
428 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
429 often got it wrong. For example:
431 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
433 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
437 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
438 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
439 bite you in weird cases.
441 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
442 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
443 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
446 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
447 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
451 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
454 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
455 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
458 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
459 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
462 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
465 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
467 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
468 - added tests for this (stevan)
470 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
471 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
472 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
473 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
477 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
478 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
479 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
480 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
482 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
483 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
484 - added tests for this (rafl)
486 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
487 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
488 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
489 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
493 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
494 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
497 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
498 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
499 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
501 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
503 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
504 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
507 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
508 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
509 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
510 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
512 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
513 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
514 error message did not specify the attribute name
517 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
519 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
521 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
522 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
523 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
525 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
526 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
529 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
531 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
532 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
533 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
534 of fixes and formatting improvements.
536 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
538 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
539 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
540 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
541 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
543 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
544 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
545 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
547 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
548 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
549 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
550 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
551 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
553 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
554 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
555 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
556 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
557 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
560 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
561 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
562 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
563 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
564 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
566 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
567 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
568 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
569 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
570 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
571 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
573 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
574 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
576 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
577 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
578 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
579 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
581 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
582 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
585 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
589 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
590 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
592 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
593 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
594 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
597 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
599 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
602 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
603 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
604 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
607 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
610 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
611 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
613 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
615 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
618 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
619 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
620 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
621 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
622 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
623 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
625 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
626 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
627 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
628 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
629 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
630 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
631 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
632 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
633 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
634 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
636 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
638 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
639 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
642 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
643 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
644 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
646 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
647 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
648 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
649 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
650 same methods for a single role did not work
651 right (worked just fine with multiple
653 - added test for this (stevan)
655 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
656 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
657 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
660 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
661 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
662 - added test for this (t0m)
665 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
666 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
667 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
670 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
671 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
672 - added test for this (t0m)
674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
675 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
676 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
677 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
678 - added test for this (perigrin)
681 - create method for constructing a role
683 - added test for this (Sartak)
684 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
685 - added test for this (Sartak)
688 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
690 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
691 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
692 methods is useful (Sartak)
694 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
695 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
696 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
700 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
701 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
702 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
703 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
704 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
705 - added tests for this (jdv79)
708 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
709 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
711 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
712 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
713 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
714 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
715 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
717 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
719 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
720 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
721 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
724 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
725 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
726 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
727 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
728 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
729 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
732 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
733 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
734 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
735 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
736 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
737 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
738 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
739 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
740 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
741 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
742 future. (jnapiorkowski)
744 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
745 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
748 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
749 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
750 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
751 type. (jnapiorkowski)
752 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
754 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
756 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
757 predicate, and link to more details sections in
758 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
761 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
764 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
765 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
766 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
769 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
770 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
772 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
774 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
775 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
778 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
779 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
783 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
784 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
785 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
787 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
788 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
791 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
792 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
793 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
794 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
795 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
796 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
797 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
799 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
800 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
801 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
803 * Roles and role application
804 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
805 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
806 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
807 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
808 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
810 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
811 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
814 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
815 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
816 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
817 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
818 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
821 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
822 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
823 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
824 changes in the Moose internals.
826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
827 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
828 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
831 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
832 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
833 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
834 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
836 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
837 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
838 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
839 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
841 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
842 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
843 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
844 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
845 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
846 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
847 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
848 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
849 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
850 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
851 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
852 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
853 constraint implementations.
855 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
859 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
860 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
861 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
862 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
863 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
864 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
865 - added tests for this (rafl)
868 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
869 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
870 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
871 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
872 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
873 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
874 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
875 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
878 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
879 - added tests for this (thepler)
881 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
882 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
883 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
884 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
888 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
889 * Moose::Meta::Method
892 * Moose::Error::Default
893 * Moose::Error::Croak
894 * Moose::Error::Confess
895 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
896 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
897 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
898 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
899 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
900 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
902 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
904 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
905 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
908 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
909 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
910 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
913 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
914 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
915 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
916 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
919 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
920 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
922 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
923 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
924 several major changes in this release of Moose.
925 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
928 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
930 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
931 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
933 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
938 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
939 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
941 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
943 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
944 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
945 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
946 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
947 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
948 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
950 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
951 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
952 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
954 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
955 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
956 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
959 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
960 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
961 dependency to 0.64_07.
963 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
964 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
965 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
967 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
968 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
971 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
972 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
973 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
974 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
975 coincidental exception. (t0m).
976 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
979 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
981 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
983 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
984 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
988 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
989 method when that method was provided by another role being
990 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
991 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
993 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
995 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
996 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
998 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
999 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1000 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1001 - added test for this (t0m)
1003 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1004 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1005 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1007 - added test for this (t0m)
1010 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1011 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1012 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1015 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1016 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1018 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1020 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1021 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1023 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1024 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1025 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1027 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1028 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1031 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1032 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1033 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1034 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1038 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1039 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1040 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1043 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1044 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1045 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1046 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1049 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1053 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1054 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1055 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1057 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1059 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1060 created so that the process can be more easily
1061 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1063 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1064 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1065 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1066 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1068 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1069 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1072 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1073 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1075 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1076 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1077 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1079 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1080 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1081 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1083 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1084 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1086 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1087 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1090 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1091 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1095 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1096 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1098 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1099 ... this is not my day today ...
1101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1102 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1103 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1104 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1105 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1108 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1109 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1110 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1111 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1112 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1115 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1117 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1118 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1119 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1120 this is not ever something you want to do
1121 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1122 - added tests for this (stevan)
1125 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1127 - added test for this
1129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1130 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1131 - added tests for this (wreis)
1133 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1134 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1135 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1136 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1138 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1139 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1140 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1143 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1145 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1147 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1150 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1151 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1152 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1153 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1154 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1155 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1156 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1157 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1158 - added tests for this
1160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1161 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1162 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1163 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1165 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1168 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1169 - added tests for this (sartak)
1170 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1171 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1174 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1176 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1177 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1180 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1181 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1182 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1184 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1186 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1187 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1190 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1191 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1192 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1195 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1196 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1198 - added docs for this (TODO).
1199 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1200 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1201 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1202 - fix builder and default both being used
1207 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1209 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1210 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

1220 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
1221 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
1223 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1224 - move the ClassName type check code to
1225 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
1227 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1228 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
1230 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1231 (early morning release engineering)--
1233 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1234 which was causing the indexer to choke
1236 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1237 (late night release engineering)--
1239 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1240 changes in this release
1242 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1243 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1244 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1246 * Moose::Meta::Class
1247 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1248 since it is called so often by &meta
1250 * Moose::Meta::Class
1252 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1253 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1256 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1257 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1258 method for immutablization to check if the
1259 destructor object even needs to be created
1262 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1263 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1264 - added more descriptive error message to help
1265 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1266 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1268 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1270 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1271 XS based functionality is now optional
1272 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1273 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1274 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1276 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1277 to take care of this, mostly we added
1278 support for the package_name and name
1279 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1280 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1281 support regexp matching of names
1282 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1283 - tests added for this
1284 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1285 is currently not supported in roles,
1286 but, ... patches welcome
1287 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1288 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1289 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1292 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1293 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1294 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1295 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1296 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1297 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1298 - added test for this
1300 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1301 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1302 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1305 * Moose::Meta::Class
1306 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1310 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1312 - added tests for this
1313 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1314 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1316 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1317 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1318 themselves parameterizable types
1320 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1321 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1322 called by the inlined immutable
1324 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1326 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1327 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1328 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1329 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1331 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1332 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1336 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1337 causing occasional cpantester failures
1338 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1339 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1341 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1343 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1344 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1347 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1348 ->body when looping through the
1349 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1351 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1352 eating the $@ values, and so not
1353 working correctly, it still kind of
1354 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1355 - added tests for this
1357 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1358 - added new recipe for immutable
1359 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1361 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
1362 - added new recipe for builder and
1363 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1365 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
1366 - added new recipe for method aliasing
1367 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1370 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1372 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1373 since Module::Install has done that.
1375 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
1377 drink more coffee before
1378 doing release engineering
1380 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1381 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1382 modules. This fixes that.
1384 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
1385 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1386 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
1388 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
1389 since we have tests which need the C3
1392 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
1393 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
1395 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
1396 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
1398 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
1399 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
1400 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
1401 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
1407 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
1408 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Class
1411 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the

1495 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1497 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1498 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

1541 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1542 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1788 - added tests for this
1791 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1792 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1835 when they encounter overriden or modified
1836 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1837 - added tests for this
1839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1840 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1841 the | always creates a union and so is
1842 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

1847 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1850 * Parameterized Types
1851 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1852 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1853 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1854 They can also be nested:
1855 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1856 And work with the type unions as well:
1857 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1859 * Better Framework Extendability
1860 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1861 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1862 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1863 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1866 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1867 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1868 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1869 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2081 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2082 (thanks to konobi for this)
2083 - added tests and docs
2085 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
2086 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
2088 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2089 - 'type' now supports messages as well
2090 thanks to phaylon for finding this
2091 - added tests for this
2092 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
2093 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
2094 functions to facilitate introspection.
2096 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2097 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2098 to build the list of delegated methods
2099 correctly (and not override important
2100 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2102 - added tests and docs for this
2103 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2104 so that you can actually document your
2105 attributes and inspect them through the
2107 - added tests and docs for this
2109 * Moose::Meta::Class
2110 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2111 it will first look in for the class in the
2112 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2113 then default to just loading $name.
2114 - added tests and docs for this
2116 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2117 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2118 - added test for this
2121 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2122 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2123 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2124 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2126 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2127 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2130 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2132 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2133 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2134 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2137 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2138 !! for this developer release to work !!
2140 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2141 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2142 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2143 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2144 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2145 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2146 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2147 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2148 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2149 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2150 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2152 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2153 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2154 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2155 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2158 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2159 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2160 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2161 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2162 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2164 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2166 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2167 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2170 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2171 called unless they actually need to be.
2172 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2173 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2174 DEMOLISH method present.
2176 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2177 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2178 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2179 type constraint, which allows for a
2180 hand optimized version of the type
2181 constraint to be used when possible.
2182 - Any internally created type constraints
2183 now provide an optimized version as well.
2185 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2187 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2188 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2189 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2192 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2193 your class namespace of these exported
2196 * Moose::Meta::Class
2197 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2198 comes up during global destruction
2200 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2204 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2207 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2208 - changed how we do type checks so that
2209 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2212 - moved accessor generation methods to
2213 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2214 conform to the API changes from
2217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2218 - changed how constraints are compiled
2219 so that we do less recursion and more
2220 iteration. This makes the type check
2222 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2225 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2226 - created this from methods formerly found in
2227 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2229 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2230 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2233 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2235 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2236 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2238 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2241 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2242 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2243 - added tests for this
2244 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2245 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2246 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2247 - removed tests for this
2249 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2251 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2252 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2253 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2256 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2257 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2258 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2260 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2261 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2262 comments for more info.
2265 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2266 asked questions and common problems
2268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2269 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2270 - added tests for this
2272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2273 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2274 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2275 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2277 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2278 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2281 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2282 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2283 is much appreciated :)
2284 - added tests for this
2286 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2287 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2288 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2291 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2292 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2294 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2296 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2297 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2301 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2302 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2303 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2305 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2307 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2310 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2311 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2312 keywords because we need to localize them.
2313 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2315 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2316 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2317 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2320 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2323 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2324 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2325 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2328 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2329 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2330 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2332 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2334 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2335 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2336 bottom of your class file.
2339 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2342 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2344 - improved error message when loading modules so
2345 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2346 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2347 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2350 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2351 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2352 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2354 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2355 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2357 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2358 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2359 turn them on for you.
2360 - added tests for this

2389 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2390 - This release works in combination with
2391 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2392 release because it uses the a new
2393 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2394 complete Role implementation. It has
2395 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2396 the the previous CPAN version. This
2397 release also lacks good updated docs,
2398 the official release will have updated docs.
2401 - refactored the keyword exports
2402 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2403 accepts more than one Role at a time

2414 string enumerations which can be used as
2416 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2419 - more careful checking of params to new()
2422 - much work done on the role composition
2423 - many new tests for conflict detection
2424 and composition edge cases
2425 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2426 looking at the tests
2428 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2429 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2430 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

2435 - some small additions to support Roles
2437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2438 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2440 - some small changes to support the new
2442 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2443 with the 'handles' option
2444 - added several tests for this
2445 - no docs for this yet

2449 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2450 thanks to chansen for this commit
2451 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2452 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2453 on a per-attribute basis
2454 - added tests for this
2455 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2456 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2457 experimental feature and probably not finished
