1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
12 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
13 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
15 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
16 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
17 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
18 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
21 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
22 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
23 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
24 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
26 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
30 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
31 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
36 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
38 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
40 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
45 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
47 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
51 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
52 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
53 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
55 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
56 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
57 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
58 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
60 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
61 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
62 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
63 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
64 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
67 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
72 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
73 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
74 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
75 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
76 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
79 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
83 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
86 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
87 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
91 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
92 function (not just method). (doy)
96 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
97 and aren't easily installable/testable.
99 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
103 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
104 to be overridden more easily (doy).
106 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
110 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
111 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
113 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
117 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
118 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
119 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
121 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
125 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
126 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
127 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
129 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
130 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
134 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
135 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
137 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
138 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
142 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
143 is applied to a class (t0m).
145 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
146 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
148 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
151 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
152 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
154 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
155 be much more robust. (doy)
157 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
159 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
162 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
166 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
167 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
169 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
173 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
174 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
176 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
179 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
180 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
181 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
183 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
184 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
185 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
188 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
190 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
194 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
195 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
199 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
201 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
206 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
210 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
211 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
215 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
217 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
221 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
222 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
226 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
227 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
231 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
232 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
234 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
238 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
239 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
240 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
243 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
247 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
248 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
249 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
250 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
252 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
256 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
257 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
258 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
262 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
265 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
270 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
271 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
275 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
276 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
278 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
279 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
280 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
281 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
283 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
287 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
291 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
292 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
294 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
295 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
296 - Moose::Util::does_role
297 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
298 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
299 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
301 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
305 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
306 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
307 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
310 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
314 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
315 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
318 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
322 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
323 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
326 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
330 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
332 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
333 class. (Dave Rolsky).
335 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
336 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
337 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
339 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
340 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
341 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
344 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
345 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
347 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
348 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
349 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
351 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
353 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
354 substr et al, again. (sorear)
356 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
358 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
361 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
362 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
364 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
365 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
367 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
368 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
369 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
370 dependencies installed.
372 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
373 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
376 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
378 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
382 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
384 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
385 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
386 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
388 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
389 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
390 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
392 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
393 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
396 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
397 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
398 others. (nothingmuch)
400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
401 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
402 remove_accessors. (doy)
404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
405 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
406 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
409 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
411 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
412 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
413 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
414 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
417 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
418 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
420 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
421 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
423 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
425 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
426 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
429 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
430 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
431 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
432 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
433 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
435 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
438 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
439 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
440 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
441 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
444 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
445 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
446 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
447 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
448 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
450 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
451 which were not receiving the value of
452 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
453 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
454 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
455 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
459 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
460 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
461 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
462 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
463 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
467 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
468 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
469 - added tests for this (Stevan)
472 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
473 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
474 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
477 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
478 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
479 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
481 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
482 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
483 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
486 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
487 class if you pass it options for
488 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
489 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
490 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
491 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
492 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
493 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
494 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
495 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
496 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
498 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
499 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
500 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
501 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
502 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
505 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
506 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
507 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
508 existing delegation API. (hdp)
510 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
511 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
512 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
513 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
514 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
515 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
518 * Moose::Error::Croak
519 * Moose::Error::Confess
520 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
521 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
524 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
527 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
528 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
529 installing a broken sub. (doy)
532 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
535 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
536 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
537 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
539 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
540 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
541 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
542 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
543 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
545 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
546 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
549 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
551 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
552 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
555 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
556 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
558 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
560 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
561 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
564 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
565 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
566 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
567 using it for new code!
569 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
570 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
571 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
572 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
574 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
575 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
576 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
577 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
578 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
579 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
580 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
581 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
584 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
587 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
588 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
591 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
592 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
595 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
596 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
600 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
601 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
604 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
605 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
607 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
608 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
609 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
612 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
613 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
614 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
615 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
616 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
617 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
619 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
621 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
624 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
625 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
626 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
628 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
629 associated_methods. (hdp)
630 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
631 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
632 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
633 misspelled) arguments
635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
636 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
637 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
638 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
641 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
642 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
644 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
648 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
649 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
652 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
653 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
655 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
657 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
658 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
660 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
661 * Moose::Manual::Types
662 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
663 string parsing rathole (mst)
665 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
666 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
667 using plain objects instead
669 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
670 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
673 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
675 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
676 three times today (perigrin)
677 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
678 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
681 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
682 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
683 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
686 - A role's required methods are now represented by
687 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
688 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
689 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
690 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
691 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
694 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
695 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
696 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
697 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
700 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
702 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
705 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
707 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
710 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
711 during global destruction. This method has been made more
712 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
716 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
717 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
720 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
721 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
723 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
724 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
725 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
728 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
730 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
731 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
734 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
738 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
739 methods during global destruction (doy)
742 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
743 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
747 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
748 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
751 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
752 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
755 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
756 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
758 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
760 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
764 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
765 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
766 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
769 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
770 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
771 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
774 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
776 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
778 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
781 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
782 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
783 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
784 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
786 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
787 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
788 of the Moose core (Sartak)
791 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
794 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
795 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
796 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
800 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
801 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
804 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
806 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
809 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
810 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
813 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
814 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
817 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
818 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
821 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
824 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
827 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
831 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
834 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
837 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
838 * More deprecations and renamings
839 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
840 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
841 when an object is constructed)
844 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
845 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
846 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
848 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
849 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
850 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
851 feature, and it works again.
854 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
856 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
858 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
859 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
860 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
862 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
863 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
864 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
865 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
866 message. Test provided by perigrin.
868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
869 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
870 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
871 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
872 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
875 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
876 metaclass object. (hdp)
878 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
879 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
880 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
881 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
882 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
883 point out this fact. (hdp)
885 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
886 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
888 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
889 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
892 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
893 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
894 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
895 called during instance construction were passed the
896 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
897 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
899 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
900 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
903 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
904 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
905 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
908 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
909 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
910 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
911 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
912 them, but they are not for "public" use.
915 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
917 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
918 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
919 when an object is constructed)
920 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
922 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
923 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
924 when an object is constructed)
925 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
926 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
927 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
930 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
932 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
933 * No changes from 0.72_01.
935 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
937 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
938 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
939 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
941 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
942 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
943 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
945 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
947 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
948 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
950 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
951 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
954 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
955 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
958 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
959 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
960 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
963 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
967 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
968 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
969 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
971 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
972 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
975 * Moose::Manual::Delta
976 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
977 with recommended workarounds.
979 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
980 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
982 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
983 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
984 (yes, spelled like that).
986 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
987 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
990 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
991 changes in latest Class::MOP.
993 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
995 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
996 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
997 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
998 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
999 instead. Reported by doy.
1001 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1003 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1004 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1006 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1007 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1008 message) is now deprecated.
1009 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1010 often got it wrong. For example:
1012 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1014 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1018 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1019 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1020 bite you in weird cases.
1022 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1023 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1024 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1025 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1027 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1028 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1032 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1035 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1036 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1039 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1040 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1042 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1043 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1046 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1047 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1048 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1049 - added tests for this (stevan)
1051 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1052 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1053 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1054 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1058 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1059 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1060 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1061 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1063 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1064 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1065 - added tests for this (rafl)
1067 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1068 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1069 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1070 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1074 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1075 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1078 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1079 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1080 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1082 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1084 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1085 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1087 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1088 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1089 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1090 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1091 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1093 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1094 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1095 error message did not specify the attribute name
1098 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1100 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1102 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1103 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1104 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1107 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1110 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1112 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1113 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1114 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1115 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1117 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1119 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1120 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1121 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1122 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1125 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1126 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1128 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1129 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1130 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1131 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1132 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1134 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1135 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1136 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1137 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1138 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1140 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1141 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1142 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1143 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1144 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1145 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1147 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1148 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1149 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1150 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1151 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1152 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1154 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1155 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1157 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1158 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1159 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1160 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1163 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1166 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1170 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1171 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1173 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1174 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1175 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1176 guts. (nothingmuch).
1178 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1180 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1182 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1183 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1184 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1185 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1187 * Moose::Meta::Class
1188 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1191 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1192 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1194 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1195 * Moose::Unsweetened
1196 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1199 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1200 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1201 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1202 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1203 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1204 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1207 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1208 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1209 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1210 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1211 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1212 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1213 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1214 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1215 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1217 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1219 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1220 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1223 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1224 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1225 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1227 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1228 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1229 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1230 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1231 same methods for a single role did not work
1232 right (worked just fine with multiple
1234 - added test for this (stevan)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1237 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1238 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1241 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1242 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1243 - added test for this (t0m)
1246 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1247 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1248 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1251 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1252 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1253 - added test for this (t0m)
1255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1256 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1257 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1258 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1259 - added test for this (perigrin)
1262 - create method for constructing a role
1263 dynamically (Sartak)
1264 - added test for this (Sartak)
1265 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1266 - added test for this (Sartak)
1269 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1271 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1272 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1273 methods is useful (Sartak)
1275 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1277 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1280 * Moose::Meta::Class
1281 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1282 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1283 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1284 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1285 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1286 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1289 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1290 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1292 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1293 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1294 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1295 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1296 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1298 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1300 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1301 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1302 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1305 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1306 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1307 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1308 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1309 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1310 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1314 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1315 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1316 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1317 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1318 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1319 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1320 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1321 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1322 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1323 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1325 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1326 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1329 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1330 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1331 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1332 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1333 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1335 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1337 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1338 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1339 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1341 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1342 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1345 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1346 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1347 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1350 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1351 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1353 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1355 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1356 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1358 * Moose::Meta::Class
1359 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1360 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1361 a required attribute
1363 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1365 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1366 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1369 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1372 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1373 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1374 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1375 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1376 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1377 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1378 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1380 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1381 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1382 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1384 * Roles and role application
1385 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1386 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1387 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1388 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1389 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1391 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1392 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1395 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1396 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1397 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1398 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1399 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1402 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1403 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1404 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1405 changes in the Moose internals.
1407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1409 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1412 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1413 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1414 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1415 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1417 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1418 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1419 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1420 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1422 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1423 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1424 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1425 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1426 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1427 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1428 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1429 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1430 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1431 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1432 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1433 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1434 constraint implementations.
1436 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1440 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1441 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1442 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1443 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1444 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1445 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1446 - added tests for this (rafl)
1448 * Moose::Meta::Class
1449 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1450 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1451 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1452 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1453 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1454 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1455 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1456 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1459 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1460 - added tests for this (thepler)
1462 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1463 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1464 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1465 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1468 * Moose::Meta::Class
1469 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1470 * Moose::Meta::Method
1473 * Moose::Error::Default
1474 * Moose::Error::Croak
1475 * Moose::Error::Confess
1476 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1477 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1478 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1479 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1480 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1481 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1483 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1485 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1486 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1488 * Moose::Unsweetened
1489 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1490 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1491 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1494 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1495 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1496 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1497 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1500 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1501 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1503 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1504 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1505 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1506 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1509 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1511 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1512 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.

1524 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1525 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1526 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1527 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1528 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1529 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

1542 dependency to 0.64_07.
1544 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1545 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1546 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1549 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1552 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1553 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1554 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1555 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1556 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1557 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1559 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1560 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1562 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1564 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1565 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1569 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1570 method when that method was provided by another role being
1571 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1572 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1574 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1582 - added test for this (t0m)
1584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1585 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1586 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1588 - added test for this (t0m)
1591 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1592 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1593 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1596 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1597 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1599 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1601 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1602 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1604 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1605 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1606 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1608 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1609 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1612 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1613 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

1615 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1619 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1620 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1621 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1625 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1626 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1627 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1630 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1634 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1636 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1638 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1640 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1641 created so that the process can be more easily

1676 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1677 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1679 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1680 ... this is not my day today ...
1682 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1683 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1684 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1685 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1686 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1689 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1690 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1691 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1692 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1693 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1696 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1698 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1699 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1700 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1701 this is not ever something you want to do
1702 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1703 - added tests for this (stevan)
1706 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1708 - added test for this

1720 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1721 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1724 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1726 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1728 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1731 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1732 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1733 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1734 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1735 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1736 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1737 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1738 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1739 - added tests for this
1741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1742 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1743 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1744 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1815 which was causing the indexer to choke
1817 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1818 (late night release engineering)--
1820 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1821 changes in this release

1834 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1838 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1839 method for immutablization to check if the
1840 destructor object even needs to be created
1843 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1844 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1845 - added more descriptive error message to help
1846 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1847 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1849 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1851 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1852 XS based functionality is now optional
1853 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1854 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1855 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1857 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1858 to take care of this, mostly we added
1859 support for the package_name and name
1860 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1861 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1862 support regexp matching of names
1863 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1864 - tests added for this
1865 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1866 is currently not supported in roles,
1867 but, ... patches welcome
1868 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1869 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1870 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1874 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1875 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1876 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1877 same array ref form that Moose.pm does

1879 - added test for this
1881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1882 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1883 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1886 * Moose::Meta::Class
1887 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1891 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1893 - added tests for this
1894 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1895 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1903 called by the inlined immutable
1905 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1907 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1908 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1909 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1910 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

1925 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1928 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1929 ->body when looping through the
1930 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1932 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1933 eating the $@ values, and so not
1934 working correctly, it still kind of
1935 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1936 - added tests for this
1938 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1939 - added new recipe for immutable
1940 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1958 drink more coffee before
1959 doing release engineering
1961 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1995 - added test for this
1997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2073 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2074 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2076 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2078 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2079 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2080 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2081 officially support it.
2082 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2083 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2086 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2087 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2118 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2122 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2123 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2124 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2126 - added more delegation tests
2127 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2128 support traits and their introspection.
2129 - added tests for this

2369 - added tests for this
2372 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2373 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2412 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2415 - fixed how required methods are handled
2416 when they encounter overriden or modified
2417 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2418 - added tests for this
2420 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2421 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2422 the | always creates a union and so is
2423 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2424 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2426 - added more tests for this
2428 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2431 * Parameterized Types
2432 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2433 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2434 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2435 They can also be nested:
2436 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2437 And work with the type unions as well:
2438 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2440 * Better Framework Extendability
2441 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2442 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2443 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2444 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2447 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2448 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2449 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2450 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2697 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2698 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2699 - added test for this

2711 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2713 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2714 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2715 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2718 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2719 !! for this developer release to work !!
2721 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2722 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2723 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2724 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2725 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2726 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2727 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2728 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2729 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2730 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2731 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2733 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2734 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2735 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2736 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2739 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2740 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2741 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2742 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2743 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2745 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2747 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2748 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2751 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2752 called unless they actually need to be.
2753 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2754 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2755 DEMOLISH method present.
2757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2758 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2759 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2760 type constraint, which allows for a
2761 hand optimized version of the type
2762 constraint to be used when possible.
2763 - Any internally created type constraints
2764 now provide an optimized version as well.
2766 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2768 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2769 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2770 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2772 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2773 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2774 your class namespace of these exported
2777 * Moose::Meta::Class
2778 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2779 comes up during global destruction
2781 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2785 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2789 - changed how we do type checks so that
2790 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2793 - moved accessor generation methods to
2794 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2795 conform to the API changes from
2798 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2799 - changed how constraints are compiled
2800 so that we do less recursion and more
2801 iteration. This makes the type check
2803 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2806 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2807 - created this from methods formerly found in
2808 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2810 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2811 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2814 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2816 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2817 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2819 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2822 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2823 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2824 - added tests for this
2825 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2826 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2827 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2828 - removed tests for this
2830 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2832 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2833 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2834 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2837 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2838 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2839 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2841 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2842 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2843 comments for more info.
2846 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2847 asked questions and common problems
2849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2850 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2851 - added tests for this
2853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2854 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2855 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2856 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2858 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2859 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2862 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2863 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2864 is much appreciated :)
2865 - added tests for this
2867 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2868 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2869 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2872 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2873 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2875 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2877 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2878 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2882 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2883 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2884 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2886 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2888 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2891 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2892 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2893 keywords because we need to localize them.
2894 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2896 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2897 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2898 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2901 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2904 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2905 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2906 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2909 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2910 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2911 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2913 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2915 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2916 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2917 bottom of your class file.
2920 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2923 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2925 - improved error message when loading modules so
2926 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2927 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2928 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2931 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2932 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2933 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2935 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2936 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2938 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2939 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2940 turn them on for you.
2941 - added tests for this
2942 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2943 in Moose::Meta::Class
2946 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2947 automatically turned on for you.

2969 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2970 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2971 - This release works in combination with
2972 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2973 release because it uses the a new
2974 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2975 complete Role implementation. It has
2976 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2977 the the previous CPAN version. This
2978 release also lacks good updated docs,
2979 the official release will have updated docs.
2982 - refactored the keyword exports
2983 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2984 accepts more than one Role at a time
2985 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2986 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2989 - refactored the keyword exports
2990 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2991 accepts more than one Role at a time
2993 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2994 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2995 string enumerations which can be used as
2997 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3000 - more careful checking of params to new()
3003 - much work done on the role composition
3004 - many new tests for conflict detection
3005 and composition edge cases
3006 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3007 looking at the tests
3009 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3010 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3011 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3013 * Moose::Meta::Class
3014 - some small changes to support the new
3016 - some small additions to support Roles
3018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3019 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3021 - some small changes to support the new
3023 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3024 with the 'handles' option
3025 - added several tests for this
3026 - no docs for this yet
3028 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3030 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3031 thanks to chansen for this commit
3032 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3033 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3034 on a per-attribute basis
3035 - added tests for this
3036 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3037 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3038 experimental feature and probably not finished
3039 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3040 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3041 - added tests for this
3044 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3056 construct_instance (for the better)
3058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3103 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3105 - added test for this
3108 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
