1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
7 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
8 three times today (perigrin)
9 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
10 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
12 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
14 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
15 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
16 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
19 - A role's required methods are now represented by
20 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
21 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
22 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
23 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
24 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
27 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
29 - Add test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
32 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
34 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
37 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
38 during global destruction. This method has been made more
39 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
43 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
44 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
47 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
48 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
50 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
51 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
52 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
55 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
57 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
58 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
61 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
65 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
66 methods during global destruction (doy)
69 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
70 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
74 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
75 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
78 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
79 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
82 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
83 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
87 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
91 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
92 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
93 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
96 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
97 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
98 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
101 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. It seems that if
102 we use a dev version number there CPAN.pm will not follow the
105 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
106 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
107 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
110 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
111 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
112 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
113 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
115 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
116 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
117 of the Moose core (Sartak)
120 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
123 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
124 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
125 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
129 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
130 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
133 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
135 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
138 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
139 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
142 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
143 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
146 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
147 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
150 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
153 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
156 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
160 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
162 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
163 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
166 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
167 * More deprecations and renamings
168 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
169 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
170 when an object is constructed)
173 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
174 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
175 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
177 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
178 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
179 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
180 feature, and it works again.
183 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
185 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
187 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
188 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
189 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
191 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
192 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
193 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
194 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
195 message. Test provided by perigrin.
197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
198 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
199 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
200 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
201 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
204 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
205 metaclass object. (hdp)
207 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
208 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
209 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
210 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
211 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
212 point out this fact. (hdp)
214 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
215 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
217 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
218 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
222 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
223 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
224 called during instance construction were passed the
225 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
226 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
228 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
229 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
232 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
233 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
234 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
237 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
238 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
239 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
240 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
241 them, but they are not for "public" use.
244 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
246 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
247 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
248 when an object is constructed)
249 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
251 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
252 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
253 when an object is constructed)
254 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
255 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
256 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
259 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
261 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
262 * No changes from 0.72_01.
264 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
266 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
267 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
268 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
270 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
271 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
272 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
274 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
276 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
277 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
279 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
280 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
283 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
284 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
287 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
288 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
289 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
292 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
296 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
297 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
298 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
300 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
301 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
304 * Moose::Manual::Delta
305 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
306 with recommended workarounds.
308 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
309 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
312 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
313 (yes, spelled like that).
315 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
316 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
319 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
320 changes in latest Class::MOP.
322 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
324 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
325 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
326 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
327 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
328 instead. Reported by doy.
330 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
332 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
333 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
336 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
337 message) is now deprecated.
338 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
339 often got it wrong. For example:
341 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
343 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
347 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
348 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
349 bite you in weird cases.
351 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
352 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
353 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
356 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
357 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
361 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
364 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
365 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
368 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
369 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
372 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
375 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
376 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
377 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
378 - added tests for this (stevan)
380 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
381 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
382 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
383 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
387 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
388 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
389 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
390 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
392 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
393 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
394 - added tests for this (rafl)
396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
397 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
398 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
399 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
403 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
404 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
407 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
408 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
409 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
411 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
413 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
414 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
417 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
418 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
419 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
420 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
423 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
424 error message did not specify the attribute name
427 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
429 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
431 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
432 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
433 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
436 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
439 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
441 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
442 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
443 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
444 of fixes and formatting improvements.
446 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
448 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
449 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
450 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
451 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
454 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
455 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
458 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
459 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
460 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
461 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
464 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
465 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
466 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
467 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
469 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
470 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
471 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
472 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
473 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
474 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
476 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
477 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
478 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
479 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
480 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
481 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
484 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
486 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
487 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
488 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
489 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
492 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
495 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
499 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
500 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
502 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
503 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
504 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
507 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
508 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
509 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
512 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
513 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
514 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
517 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
520 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
521 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
523 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
525 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
528 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
529 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
530 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
531 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
532 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
533 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
536 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
537 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
538 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
539 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
540 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
541 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
542 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
543 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
544 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
546 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
548 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
549 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
551 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
552 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
553 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
554 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
556 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
557 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
558 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
559 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
560 same methods for a single role did not work
561 right (worked just fine with multiple
563 - added test for this (stevan)
565 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
566 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
567 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
570 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
571 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
572 - added test for this (t0m)
575 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
576 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
577 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
580 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
581 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
582 - added test for this (t0m)
584 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
585 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
586 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
587 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
588 - added test for this (perigrin)
591 - create method for constructing a role
593 - added test for this (Sartak)
594 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
595 - added test for this (Sartak)
598 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
600 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
601 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
602 methods is useful (Sartak)
604 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
605 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
606 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
610 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
611 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
612 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
613 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
614 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
615 - added tests for this (jdv79)
618 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
619 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
621 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
622 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
623 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
624 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
625 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
627 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
629 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
630 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
631 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
634 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
635 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
636 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
637 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
638 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
639 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
642 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
643 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
644 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
645 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
646 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
647 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
648 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
649 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
650 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
651 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
652 future. (jnapiorkowski)
654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
655 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
658 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
659 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
660 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
661 type. (jnapiorkowski)
662 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
664 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
666 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
667 predicate, and link to more details sections in
668 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
670 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
671 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
673 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
674 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
675 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
676 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
679 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
680 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
682 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
684 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
685 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
688 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
689 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
692 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
693 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
694 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
695 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
697 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
698 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
701 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
702 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
703 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
704 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
705 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
706 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
707 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
709 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
710 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
711 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
713 * Roles and role application
714 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
715 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
716 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
717 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
718 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
720 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
721 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
724 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
725 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
726 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
727 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
728 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
731 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
732 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
733 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
734 changes in the Moose internals.
736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
738 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
741 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
742 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
743 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
744 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
746 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
747 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
748 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
749 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
752 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
753 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
754 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
755 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
756 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
757 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
758 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
759 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
760 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
761 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
762 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
763 constraint implementations.
765 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
769 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
770 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
771 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
772 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
773 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
774 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
775 - added tests for this (rafl)
778 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
779 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
780 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
781 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
782 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
783 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
784 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
785 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
788 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
789 - added tests for this (thepler)
791 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
792 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
793 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
794 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
799 * Moose::Meta::Method
802 * Moose::Error::Default
803 * Moose::Error::Croak
804 * Moose::Error::Confess
805 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
806 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
807 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
808 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
809 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
810 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
812 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
814 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
815 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
818 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
819 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
820 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
823 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
824 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
825 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
826 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
829 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
830 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
832 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
833 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
834 several major changes in this release of Moose.
835 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
838 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
840 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
841 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
843 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the

861 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
862 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

875 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
878 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
882 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
883 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
884 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
885 coincidental exception. (t0m).
886 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
888 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
889 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
891 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
893 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
894 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
898 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
899 method when that method was provided by another role being
900 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
901 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
903 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
905 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
906 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!

910 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
911 - added test for this (t0m)
913 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

915 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
917 - added test for this (t0m)
920 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
921 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
922 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
925 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
926 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
928 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
930 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
933 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
934 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
935 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
937 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
938 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
941 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
942 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
943 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
944 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
948 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
949 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
950 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
953 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
954 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
955 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
956 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
959 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
963 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1008 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1009 ... this is not my day today ...
1011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1012 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1013 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1014 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1015 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1018 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1019 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1020 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1021 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1022 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1025 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1027 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1028 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1029 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1030 this is not ever something you want to do
1031 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1032 - added tests for this (stevan)
1035 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1037 - added test for this

1057 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1060 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1061 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1062 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1063 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1064 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1065 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1066 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1067 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 - added tests for this
1070 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1071 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1072 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1073 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1173 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1174 - added more descriptive error message to help
1175 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1176 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1178 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1180 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1181 XS based functionality is now optional
1182 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1183 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1184 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1186 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1187 to take care of this, mostly we added
1188 support for the package_name and name
1189 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1190 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1191 support regexp matching of names
1192 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1203 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1204 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1205 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1206 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1207 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1208 - added test for this
1210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1232 called by the inlined immutable
1234 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1237 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1238 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1239 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1241 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1242 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1254 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1257 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1258 ->body when looping through the
1259 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1261 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1262 eating the $@ values, and so not
1263 working correctly, it still kind of
1264 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1265 - added tests for this

1280 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1282 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1283 since Module::Install has done that.

1287 drink more coffee before
1288 doing release engineering
1290 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1405 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1407 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1451 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1452 it ever did this originally, this means we now

1698 - added tests for this
1701 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1702 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1745 when they encounter overriden or modified
1746 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1747 - added tests for this
1749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

1755 - added more tests for this
1757 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1760 * Parameterized Types
1761 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1762 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1763 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1764 They can also be nested:
1765 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1766 And work with the type unions as well:
1767 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1769 * Better Framework Extendability
1770 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1771 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1772 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1773 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1776 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1777 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1778 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1779 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
1782 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
1784 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2019 * Moose::Meta::Class
2020 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2021 it will first look in for the class in the
2022 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2023 then default to just loading $name.
2024 - added tests and docs for this
2026 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2027 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2028 - added test for this

2036 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2037 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2040 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2042 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2043 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2044 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2047 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2048 !! for this developer release to work !!
2050 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2051 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2052 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2053 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2054 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2055 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2056 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2057 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2058 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2059 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2060 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2062 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2063 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2064 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2065 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2068 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2069 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2070 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2071 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2072 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2074 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2076 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2077 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2080 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2081 called unless they actually need to be.
2082 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2083 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2084 DEMOLISH method present.
2086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2088 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2089 type constraint, which allows for a
2090 hand optimized version of the type
2091 constraint to be used when possible.
2092 - Any internally created type constraints
2093 now provide an optimized version as well.
2095 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2097 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2098 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2099 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2102 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2103 your class namespace of these exported
2106 * Moose::Meta::Class
2107 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2108 comes up during global destruction
2110 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2114 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2118 - changed how we do type checks so that
2119 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2122 - moved accessor generation methods to
2123 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2124 conform to the API changes from
2127 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2128 - changed how constraints are compiled
2129 so that we do less recursion and more
2130 iteration. This makes the type check
2132 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2135 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2136 - created this from methods formerly found in
2137 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2139 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2140 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2143 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2145 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2146 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2148 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2151 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2152 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2153 - added tests for this
2154 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2155 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2156 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2157 - removed tests for this
2159 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2161 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2162 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2163 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2166 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2167 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2168 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2170 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2171 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2172 comments for more info.
2175 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2176 asked questions and common problems
2178 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2179 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2180 - added tests for this
2182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2183 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2184 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2185 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2187 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2188 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2191 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2192 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2193 is much appreciated :)
2194 - added tests for this
2196 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2197 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2198 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2202 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2204 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2206 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2207 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2211 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2212 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2213 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2215 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2217 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2220 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2221 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2222 keywords because we need to localize them.
2223 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2225 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2226 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2227 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2230 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2233 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2234 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2235 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2238 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2239 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2240 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2242 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2244 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2245 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2246 bottom of your class file.
2249 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2252 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2254 - improved error message when loading modules so
2255 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2256 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2257 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2260 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2261 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2262 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2264 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2265 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2267 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2268 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2269 turn them on for you.
2270 - added tests for this
2271 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2272 in Moose::Meta::Class
2275 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2276 automatically turned on for you.

2298 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2299 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2300 - This release works in combination with
2301 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2302 release because it uses the a new
2303 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2304 complete Role implementation. It has
2305 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2306 the the previous CPAN version. This
2307 release also lacks good updated docs,
2308 the official release will have updated docs.
2311 - refactored the keyword exports
2312 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2313 accepts more than one Role at a time
2314 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2315 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2318 - refactored the keyword exports
2319 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2320 accepts more than one Role at a time
2322 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2323 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2324 string enumerations which can be used as
2326 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2329 - more careful checking of params to new()
2332 - much work done on the role composition
2333 - many new tests for conflict detection
2334 and composition edge cases
2335 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2336 looking at the tests
2338 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2339 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2340 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2342 * Moose::Meta::Class
2343 - some small changes to support the new
2345 - some small additions to support Roles
2347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2348 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2350 - some small changes to support the new
2352 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2353 with the 'handles' option
2354 - added several tests for this
2355 - no docs for this yet
2357 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2359 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2360 thanks to chansen for this commit
2361 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2362 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2363 on a per-attribute basis
2364 - added tests for this
2365 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2366 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2367 experimental feature and probably not finished

2369 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2370 - added tests for this

2432 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2434 - added test for this
2437 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2438 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
