1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
9 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
10 during global destruction. This method has been made more
11 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
15 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
16 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
19 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
20 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
22 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
23 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
24 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
27 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
29 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
30 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
33 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
37 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
38 methods during global destruction (doy)
41 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
42 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
46 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
47 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
50 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
51 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
54 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
55 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
59 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
63 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
64 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
65 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
68 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
69 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
70 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
73 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
74 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
77 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
78 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
79 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
82 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
83 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
84 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
85 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
87 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
88 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
89 of the Moose core (Sartak)
92 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
95 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
96 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
97 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
101 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
102 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
105 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
107 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
110 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
111 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
114 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
115 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
118 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
119 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
122 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
125 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
128 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
132 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
134 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
135 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
138 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
139 * More deprecations and renamings
140 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
141 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
142 when an object is constructed)
145 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
146 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
147 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
149 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
150 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
151 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
152 feature, and it works again.
155 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
157 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
159 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
160 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
161 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
163 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
164 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
165 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
166 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
167 message. Test provided by perigrin.
169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
170 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
171 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
172 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
173 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
176 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
177 metaclass object. (hdp)
179 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
180 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
181 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
182 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
183 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
184 point out this fact. (hdp)
186 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
187 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
189 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
190 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
194 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
195 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
196 called during instance construction were passed the
197 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
198 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
200 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
201 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
204 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
205 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
206 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
209 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
210 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
211 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
212 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
213 them, but they are not for "public" use.
216 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
218 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
219 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
220 when an object is constructed)
221 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
223 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
224 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
225 when an object is constructed)
226 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
227 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
228 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
231 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
233 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
234 * No changes from 0.72_01.
236 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
238 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
239 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
240 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
243 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
244 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
246 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
248 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
249 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
251 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
252 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
255 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
256 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
259 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
260 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
261 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
264 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
268 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
269 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
270 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
273 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
276 * Moose::Manual::Delta
277 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
278 with recommended workarounds.
280 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
281 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
284 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
285 (yes, spelled like that).
287 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
288 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
291 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
292 changes in latest Class::MOP.
294 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
297 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
298 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
299 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
300 instead. Reported by doy.
302 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
304 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
305 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
308 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
309 message) is now deprecated.
310 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
311 often got it wrong. For example:
313 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
315 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
319 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
320 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
321 bite you in weird cases.
323 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
324 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
325 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
328 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
329 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
333 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
336 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
337 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
340 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
341 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
344 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
347 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
348 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
349 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
350 - added tests for this (stevan)
352 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
353 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
354 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
355 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
359 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
360 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
361 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
362 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
364 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
365 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
366 - added tests for this (rafl)
368 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
369 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
370 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
371 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
375 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
376 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
379 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
380 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
381 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
383 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
385 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
386 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
389 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
390 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
391 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
392 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
395 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
396 error message did not specify the attribute name
399 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
401 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
403 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
404 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
405 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
408 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
411 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
413 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
414 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
415 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
416 of fixes and formatting improvements.
418 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
420 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
421 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
422 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
423 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
425 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
426 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
427 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
429 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
430 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
431 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
432 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
433 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
436 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
437 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
438 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
439 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
441 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
442 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
443 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
444 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
445 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
446 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
448 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
449 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
450 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
451 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
452 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
453 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
456 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
458 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
459 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
460 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
461 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
464 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
467 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
471 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
472 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
474 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
475 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
476 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
479 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
481 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
484 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
485 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
486 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
489 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
492 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
493 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
495 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
497 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
500 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
501 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
502 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
503 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
504 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
505 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
508 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
509 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
510 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
511 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
512 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
513 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
514 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
515 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
516 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
518 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
520 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
521 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
524 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
525 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
526 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
528 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
529 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
530 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
531 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
532 same methods for a single role did not work
533 right (worked just fine with multiple
535 - added test for this (stevan)
537 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
538 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
539 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
542 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
543 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
544 - added test for this (t0m)
547 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
548 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
549 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
551 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
552 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
553 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
554 - added test for this (t0m)
556 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
557 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
558 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
559 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
560 - added test for this (perigrin)
563 - create method for constructing a role
565 - added test for this (Sartak)
566 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
567 - added test for this (Sartak)
570 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
572 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
573 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
574 methods is useful (Sartak)
576 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
577 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
578 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
582 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
583 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
584 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
585 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
586 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
587 - added tests for this (jdv79)
590 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
591 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
593 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
594 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
595 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
596 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
597 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
599 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
601 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
602 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
603 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
606 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
607 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
608 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
609 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
610 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
611 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
615 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
616 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
617 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
618 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
619 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
620 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
621 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
622 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
623 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
624 future. (jnapiorkowski)
626 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
627 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
630 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
631 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
632 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
633 type. (jnapiorkowski)
634 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
636 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
638 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
639 predicate, and link to more details sections in
640 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
642 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
643 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
646 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
647 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
648 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
651 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
652 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
654 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
656 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
657 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
660 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
661 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
664 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
665 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
666 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
667 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
669 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
670 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
672 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
673 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
674 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
675 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
676 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
677 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
678 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
679 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
681 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
682 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
683 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
685 * Roles and role application
686 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
687 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
688 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
689 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
690 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
692 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
693 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
696 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
697 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
698 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
699 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
700 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
703 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
704 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
705 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
706 changes in the Moose internals.
708 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
710 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
713 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
714 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
715 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
716 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
718 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
719 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
720 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
721 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
723 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
724 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
725 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
726 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
727 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
728 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
729 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
730 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
731 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
732 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
733 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
734 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
735 constraint implementations.
737 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
741 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
742 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
743 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
744 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
745 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
746 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
747 - added tests for this (rafl)
750 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
751 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
752 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
753 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
754 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
755 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
756 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
757 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
760 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
761 - added tests for this (thepler)
763 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
764 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
765 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
766 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
770 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
771 * Moose::Meta::Method
774 * Moose::Error::Default
775 * Moose::Error::Croak
776 * Moose::Error::Confess
777 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
778 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
779 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
780 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
781 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
782 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
784 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
786 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
787 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
790 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
791 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
792 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
794 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
795 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
796 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
797 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
798 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
801 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
802 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
804 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
805 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
806 several major changes in this release of Moose.
807 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
810 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
812 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
813 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.

829 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
830 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
832 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
833 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
834 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
850 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
853 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
854 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
855 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
856 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
857 coincidental exception. (t0m).
858 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
860 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
861 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
863 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
865 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
866 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
870 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
871 method when that method was provided by another role being
872 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
873 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
875 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
877 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
878 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!

882 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
883 - added test for this (t0m)
885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
886 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
887 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
889 - added test for this (t0m)
892 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
893 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
894 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
897 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
898 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
900 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
902 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
905 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
906 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
907 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
909 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
910 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
913 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
914 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
915 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
916 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
920 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
921 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
922 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
925 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
926 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
927 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
928 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
931 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
935 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

951 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
954 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
955 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
957 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
958 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
959 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

978 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
980 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
981 ... this is not my day today ...
983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
984 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
985 clone_and_inherit options still works for
986 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
987 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
990 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
991 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
992 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
993 in this release, except the fact that it includes
994 the changes that I didn't include in the last
997 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
999 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1000 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1001 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1002 this is not ever something you want to do
1003 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1004 - added tests for this (stevan)
1007 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1009 - added test for this

1029 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1032 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1033 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1034 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1035 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1036 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1037 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1038 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1039 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1040 - added tests for this
1042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1043 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1044 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1045 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1047 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1116 which was causing the indexer to choke
1118 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1119 (late night release engineering)--
1121 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1122 changes in this release
1124 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
1125 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1126 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
1128 * Moose::Meta::Class
1129 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
1130 since it is called so often by &meta
1132 * Moose::Meta::Class
1134 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
1135 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1138 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1139 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1140 method for immutablization to check if the
1141 destructor object even needs to be created

1145 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1146 - added more descriptive error message to help
1147 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1148 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1150 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1152 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1153 XS based functionality is now optional
1154 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1155 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1156 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1158 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1159 to take care of this, mostly we added
1160 support for the package_name and name
1161 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1162 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1163 support regexp matching of names
1164 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1165 - tests added for this
1166 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1167 is currently not supported in roles,
1168 but, ... patches welcome

1170 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1171 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1174 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1175 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1176 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1177 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1178 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1179 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1180 - added test for this
1182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1183 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an

1204 called by the inlined immutable
1206 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1209 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1210 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1211 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1213 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1214 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1218 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1219 causing occasional cpantester failures
1220 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
1221 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
1223 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
1225 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1226 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1229 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1230 ->body when looping through the
1231 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1233 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1234 eating the $@ values, and so not
1235 working correctly, it still kind of
1236 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1237 - added tests for this
1239 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1240 - added new recipe for immutable
1241 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1259 drink more coffee before
1260 doing release engineering
1262 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1263 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

1377 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1379 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1419 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1421 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1422 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
1423 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1424 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1425 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1427 - added more delegation tests
1428 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1429 support traits and their introspection.
1430 - added tests for this

1670 - added tests for this
1673 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1674 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1713 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1716 - fixed how required methods are handled
1717 when they encounter overriden or modified
1718 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1719 - added tests for this
1721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1722 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1723 the | always creates a union and so is
1724 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1725 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1727 - added more tests for this
1729 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1732 * Parameterized Types
1733 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1734 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1735 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1736 They can also be nested:
1737 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1738 And work with the type unions as well:
1739 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1741 * Better Framework Extendability
1742 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1743 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1744 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1745 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1748 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1749 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1750 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1751 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1754 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1756 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

1986 so that you can actually document your
1987 attributes and inspect them through the

1991 * Moose::Meta::Class
1992 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
1993 it will first look in for the class in the
1994 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
1995 then default to just loading $name.
1996 - added tests and docs for this
1998 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1999 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2000 - added test for this

2005 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2006 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2008 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2009 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2012 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2014 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2015 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2016 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2019 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2020 !! for this developer release to work !!
2022 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2023 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2024 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2025 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2026 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2027 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2028 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2029 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2030 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2031 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2032 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2034 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2035 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2036 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2037 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2040 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2042 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2043 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2044 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2046 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2048 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2049 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2052 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2053 called unless they actually need to be.
2054 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2055 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2056 DEMOLISH method present.
2058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2059 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2060 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2061 type constraint, which allows for a
2062 hand optimized version of the type
2063 constraint to be used when possible.
2064 - Any internally created type constraints
2065 now provide an optimized version as well.
2067 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2069 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2070 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2071 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2074 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2075 your class namespace of these exported
2078 * Moose::Meta::Class
2079 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2080 comes up during global destruction
2082 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2086 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2090 - changed how we do type checks so that
2091 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2094 - moved accessor generation methods to
2095 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2096 conform to the API changes from
2099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2100 - changed how constraints are compiled
2101 so that we do less recursion and more
2102 iteration. This makes the type check
2104 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2108 - created this from methods formerly found in
2109 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2111 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2112 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2115 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2118 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2120 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2122 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2123 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2124 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2125 - added tests for this
2126 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2127 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2128 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2129 - removed tests for this
2131 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2133 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2134 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2135 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2138 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2139 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2140 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2142 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2143 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2144 comments for more info.
2147 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2148 asked questions and common problems
2150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2151 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2152 - added tests for this
2154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2155 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2156 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2157 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2159 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2160 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2163 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2164 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2165 is much appreciated :)
2166 - added tests for this
2168 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2169 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2170 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2174 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2176 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2178 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2179 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2183 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2184 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2185 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2187 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2189 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2192 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2193 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2194 keywords because we need to localize them.
2195 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2197 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2198 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2199 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2202 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2205 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2206 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2207 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2210 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2211 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2212 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2214 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2216 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2217 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2218 bottom of your class file.
2221 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2224 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2226 - improved error message when loading modules so
2227 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2228 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2229 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2232 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2233 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2234 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2237 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2239 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2240 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2241 turn them on for you.
2242 - added tests for this
2243 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2244 in Moose::Meta::Class
2247 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2248 automatically turned on for you.

2270 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2271 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2272 - This release works in combination with
2273 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2274 release because it uses the a new
2275 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2276 complete Role implementation. It has
2277 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2278 the the previous CPAN version. This
2279 release also lacks good updated docs,
2280 the official release will have updated docs.
2283 - refactored the keyword exports
2284 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2285 accepts more than one Role at a time
2286 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2287 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2290 - refactored the keyword exports
2291 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2292 accepts more than one Role at a time
2294 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2295 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2296 string enumerations which can be used as
2298 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2301 - more careful checking of params to new()
2304 - much work done on the role composition
2305 - many new tests for conflict detection
2306 and composition edge cases
2307 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2308 looking at the tests
2310 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2311 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2312 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2314 * Moose::Meta::Class
2315 - some small changes to support the new
2317 - some small additions to support Roles
2319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2320 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2322 - some small changes to support the new
2324 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2325 with the 'handles' option
2326 - added several tests for this
2327 - no docs for this yet
2329 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2331 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2332 thanks to chansen for this commit
2333 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2334 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2335 on a per-attribute basis
2336 - added tests for this
2337 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2338 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2339 experimental feature and probably not finished
