1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Accessors will now not be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
13 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
14 to be overridden more easily (doy).
16 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
20 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
21 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
23 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
27 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
28 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
29 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
31 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
35 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
36 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
37 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
39 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
40 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
44 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
45 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
47 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
48 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
52 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
53 is applied to a class (t0m).
55 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
56 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
58 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
61 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
62 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
64 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
65 be much more robust. (doy)
67 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
69 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
72 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
76 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
77 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
79 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
83 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
84 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
86 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
89 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
90 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
91 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
93 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
94 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
95 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
98 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
100 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
104 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
105 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
109 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
111 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
116 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
120 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
121 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
125 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
127 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
131 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
132 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
136 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
137 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
141 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
142 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
144 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
148 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
149 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
150 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
153 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
157 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
158 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
159 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
160 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
162 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
166 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
167 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
168 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
172 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
175 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
180 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
181 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
185 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
186 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
188 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
189 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
190 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
191 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
193 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
197 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
201 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
202 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
204 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
205 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
206 - Moose::Util::does_role
207 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
208 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
209 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
211 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
215 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
216 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
217 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
220 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
224 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
225 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
228 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
232 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
233 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
236 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
240 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
242 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
243 class. (Dave Rolsky).
245 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
246 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
247 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
249 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
250 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
251 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
254 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
255 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
257 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
258 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
259 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
261 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
263 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
264 substr et al, again. (sorear)
266 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
268 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
271 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
272 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
274 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
275 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
277 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
278 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
279 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
280 dependencies installed.
282 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
283 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
286 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
288 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
292 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
295 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
296 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
299 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
300 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
302 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
303 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
306 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
307 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
308 others. (nothingmuch)
310 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
311 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
312 remove_accessors. (doy)
314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
315 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
316 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
319 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
321 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
322 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
323 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
324 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
327 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
328 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
331 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
333 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
335 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
336 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
340 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
341 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
342 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
343 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
345 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
348 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
349 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
350 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
351 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
354 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
355 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
356 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
357 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
358 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
360 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
361 which were not receiving the value of
362 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
363 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
364 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
365 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
369 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
370 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
371 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
372 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
373 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
376 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
377 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
378 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
379 - added tests for this (Stevan)
382 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
383 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
384 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
387 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
389 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
392 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
393 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
396 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
397 class if you pass it options for
398 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
399 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
400 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
401 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
402 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
403 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
404 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
405 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
406 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
408 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
409 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
410 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
411 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
412 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
415 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
416 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
417 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
418 existing delegation API. (hdp)
420 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
421 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
422 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
423 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
424 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
425 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
428 * Moose::Error::Croak
429 * Moose::Error::Confess
430 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
431 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
434 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
437 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
438 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
439 installing a broken sub. (doy)
442 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
445 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
446 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
447 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
449 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
450 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
451 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
452 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
453 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
456 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
459 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
461 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
462 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
465 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
466 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
470 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
471 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
474 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
475 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
476 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
477 using it for new code!
479 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
480 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
481 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
482 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
484 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
485 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
486 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
487 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
488 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
489 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
490 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
491 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
494 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
497 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
498 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
502 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
504 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
505 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
506 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
509 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
510 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
511 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
514 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
515 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
518 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
519 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
522 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
523 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
524 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
525 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
526 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
527 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
529 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
531 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
534 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
535 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
536 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
538 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
539 associated_methods. (hdp)
540 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
541 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
542 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
543 misspelled) arguments
545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
546 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
547 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
548 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
550 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
552 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
554 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
558 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
559 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
562 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
563 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
565 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
567 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
568 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
570 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
571 * Moose::Manual::Types
572 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
573 string parsing rathole (mst)
575 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
576 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
577 using plain objects instead
579 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
580 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
583 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
585 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
586 three times today (perigrin)
587 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
588 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
591 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
592 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
593 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
596 - A role's required methods are now represented by
597 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
598 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
599 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
600 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
601 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
604 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
605 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
606 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
607 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
610 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
612 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
615 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
617 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
620 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
621 during global destruction. This method has been made more
622 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
626 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
627 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
630 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
631 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
633 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
634 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
635 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
638 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
640 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
641 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
644 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
648 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
649 methods during global destruction (doy)
652 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
653 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
657 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
658 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
661 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
662 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
665 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
666 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
668 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
670 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
674 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
675 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
676 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
679 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
680 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
681 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
684 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
686 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
687 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
688 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
691 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
692 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
693 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
694 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
696 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
697 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
698 of the Moose core (Sartak)
701 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
704 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
705 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
706 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
710 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
711 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
714 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
716 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
719 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
720 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
723 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
724 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
727 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
728 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
731 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
734 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
737 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
741 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
743 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
744 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
747 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
748 * More deprecations and renamings
749 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
750 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
751 when an object is constructed)
754 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
755 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
756 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
759 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
760 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
761 feature, and it works again.
764 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
766 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
768 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
769 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
770 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
773 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
774 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
775 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
776 message. Test provided by perigrin.
778 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
779 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
780 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
781 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
782 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
785 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
786 metaclass object. (hdp)
788 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
789 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
790 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
791 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
792 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
793 point out this fact. (hdp)
795 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
796 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
798 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
799 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
802 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
803 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
804 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
805 called during instance construction were passed the
806 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
807 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
809 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
810 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
813 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
814 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
815 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
818 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
819 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
820 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
821 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
822 them, but they are not for "public" use.
825 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
827 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
828 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
829 when an object is constructed)
830 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
832 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
833 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
834 when an object is constructed)
835 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
836 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
837 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
840 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
842 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
843 * No changes from 0.72_01.
845 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
847 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
848 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
849 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
851 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
852 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
853 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
855 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
857 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
858 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
860 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
861 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
864 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
865 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
868 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
869 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
870 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
872 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
873 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
877 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
878 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
879 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
881 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
882 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
885 * Moose::Manual::Delta
886 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
887 with recommended workarounds.
889 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
890 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
892 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
893 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
894 (yes, spelled like that).
896 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
897 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
900 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
901 changes in latest Class::MOP.
903 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
905 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
906 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
907 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
908 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
909 instead. Reported by doy.
911 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
913 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
914 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
916 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
917 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
918 message) is now deprecated.
919 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
920 often got it wrong. For example:
922 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
924 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
928 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
929 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
930 bite you in weird cases.
932 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
933 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
934 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
937 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
938 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
942 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
945 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
946 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
949 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
950 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
953 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
956 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
957 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
958 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
959 - added tests for this (stevan)
961 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
962 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
963 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
964 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
968 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
969 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
970 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
971 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
973 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
974 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
975 - added tests for this (rafl)
977 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
978 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
979 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
980 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
984 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
985 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
988 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
989 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
990 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
992 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
994 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
995 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
998 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
999 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1000 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1001 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1003 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1004 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1005 error message did not specify the attribute name
1008 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1010 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1012 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1013 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1014 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1016 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1017 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1020 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1022 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1023 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1024 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1025 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1027 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1029 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1030 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1031 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1032 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1034 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1035 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1036 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1038 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1039 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1040 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1041 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1042 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1044 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1045 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1046 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1047 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1048 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1051 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1052 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1053 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1054 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1055 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1057 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1058 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1059 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1060 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1061 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1062 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1064 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1065 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1067 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1068 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1069 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1070 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1073 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1076 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1080 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1081 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1083 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1084 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1085 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1086 guts. (nothingmuch).
1088 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1089 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1090 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1093 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1094 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1095 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1097 * Moose::Meta::Class
1098 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1101 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1102 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1105 * Moose::Unsweetened
1106 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1109 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1110 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1111 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1112 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1113 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1114 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1116 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1117 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1118 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1119 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1120 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1121 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1122 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1124 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1125 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1127 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1129 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1130 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1133 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1134 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1135 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1137 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1138 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1139 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1140 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1141 same methods for a single role did not work
1142 right (worked just fine with multiple
1144 - added test for this (stevan)
1146 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1147 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1148 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1151 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1152 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1153 - added test for this (t0m)
1156 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1157 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1158 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1161 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1162 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1163 - added test for this (t0m)
1165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1166 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1167 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1168 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1169 - added test for this (perigrin)
1172 - create method for constructing a role
1173 dynamically (Sartak)
1174 - added test for this (Sartak)
1175 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1176 - added test for this (Sartak)
1179 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1181 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1182 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1183 methods is useful (Sartak)
1185 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1187 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1190 * Moose::Meta::Class
1191 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1192 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1193 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1194 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1195 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1196 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1199 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1200 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1203 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1204 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1205 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1206 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1208 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1210 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1211 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1212 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1215 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1216 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1217 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1218 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1219 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1220 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1223 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1224 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1225 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1226 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1227 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1228 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1229 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1230 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1231 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1232 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1233 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1235 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1236 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1240 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1241 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1242 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1243 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1245 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1247 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1248 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1249 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1252 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1255 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1256 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1257 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1260 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1261 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1263 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1265 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1266 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1268 * Moose::Meta::Class
1269 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1270 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1271 a required attribute
1273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1274 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1275 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1276 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1279 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1281 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1282 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1283 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1284 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1285 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1286 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1287 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1288 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1290 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1291 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1292 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1294 * Roles and role application
1295 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1296 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1297 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1298 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1299 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1301 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1302 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1305 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1306 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1307 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1308 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1309 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1312 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1313 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1314 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1315 changes in the Moose internals.
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1319 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1322 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1323 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1324 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1325 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1327 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1328 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1329 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1330 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1332 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1333 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1334 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1335 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1336 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1337 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1338 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1339 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1340 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1341 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1342 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1343 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1344 constraint implementations.
1346 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1350 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1351 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1352 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1353 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1354 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1355 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1356 - added tests for this (rafl)
1358 * Moose::Meta::Class
1359 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1360 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1361 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1362 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1363 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1364 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1365 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1366 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1369 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1370 - added tests for this (thepler)
1372 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1373 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1374 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1375 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1378 * Moose::Meta::Class
1379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1380 * Moose::Meta::Method
1383 * Moose::Error::Default
1384 * Moose::Error::Croak
1385 * Moose::Error::Confess
1386 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1387 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1388 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1389 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1390 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1391 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1393 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1395 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1396 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1398 * Moose::Unsweetened
1399 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1400 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1401 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1403 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1404 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1405 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1406 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1407 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1410 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1411 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1413 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1414 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1415 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1416 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

1455 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1456 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1458 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1459 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1462 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1463 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1464 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1465 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1466 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1467 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1469 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1470 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1472 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1474 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1475 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"

1492 - added test for this (t0m)
1494 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1495 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1496 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1498 - added test for this (t0m)
1501 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1502 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1503 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1506 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1507 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1509 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

1512 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1514 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

1546 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1548 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1549 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1550 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1551 created so that the process can be more easily
1552 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

1586 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1587 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1589 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1590 ... this is not my day today ...
1592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1593 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1594 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1595 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1596 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1599 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1600 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1601 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1602 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1603 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1606 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1608 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1609 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

1638 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1641 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1642 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1643 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1644 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1645 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1646 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1647 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1648 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 - added tests for this
1651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1652 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1653 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

1747 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1748 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1749 method for immutablization to check if the
1750 destructor object even needs to be created
1753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1754 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1755 - added more descriptive error message to help
1756 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1757 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1759 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1761 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1762 XS based functionality is now optional
1763 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1764 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1765 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1776 is currently not supported in roles,
1777 but, ... patches welcome

1785 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1842 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1843 eating the $@ values, and so not
1844 working correctly, it still kind of
1845 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1846 - added tests for this
1848 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7

1868 drink more coffee before
1869 doing release engineering
1871 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1986 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1988 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2028 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2279 - added tests for this
2282 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2283 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2325 - fixed how required methods are handled
2326 when they encounter overriden or modified
2327 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2328 - added tests for this
2330 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2331 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2332 the | always creates a union and so is
2333 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2334 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2336 - added more tests for this
2338 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2341 * Parameterized Types
2342 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2343 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2344 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2345 They can also be nested:
2346 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2347 And work with the type unions as well:
2348 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2350 * Better Framework Extendability
2351 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2352 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2353 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2354 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2357 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2358 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2359 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2360 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2363 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2365 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2366 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

2595 so that you can actually document your
2596 attributes and inspect them through the

2600 * Moose::Meta::Class
2601 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2602 it will first look in for the class in the
2603 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2604 then default to just loading $name.
2605 - added tests and docs for this
2607 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2608 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2609 - added test for this

2614 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2615 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2617 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2618 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2621 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2623 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2624 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2625 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2628 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2629 !! for this developer release to work !!
2631 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2632 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2633 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2634 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2635 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2636 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2637 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2638 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2639 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2640 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2641 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2643 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2644 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2645 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2646 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2649 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2651 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2652 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2653 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2655 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2657 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2658 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2661 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2662 called unless they actually need to be.
2663 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2664 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2665 DEMOLISH method present.
2667 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2668 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2669 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2670 type constraint, which allows for a
2671 hand optimized version of the type
2672 constraint to be used when possible.
2673 - Any internally created type constraints
2674 now provide an optimized version as well.
2676 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2678 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2679 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2680 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2682 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2683 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2684 your class namespace of these exported
2687 * Moose::Meta::Class
2688 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2689 comes up during global destruction
2691 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2695 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2699 - changed how we do type checks so that
2700 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2703 - moved accessor generation methods to
2704 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2705 conform to the API changes from
2708 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2709 - changed how constraints are compiled
2710 so that we do less recursion and more
2711 iteration. This makes the type check
2713 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2716 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2717 - created this from methods formerly found in
2718 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2720 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2721 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2723 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2724 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2727 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2729 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2731 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2732 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2733 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2734 - added tests for this
2735 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2736 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2737 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2738 - removed tests for this
2740 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2742 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2743 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2744 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2747 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2748 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2749 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2751 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2752 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2753 comments for more info.
2756 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2757 asked questions and common problems
2759 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2760 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2761 - added tests for this
2763 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2764 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2765 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2766 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2768 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2769 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2772 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2773 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2774 is much appreciated :)
2775 - added tests for this
2777 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2778 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2779 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2782 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2783 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2785 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2787 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2788 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2792 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2793 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2794 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2796 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2798 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2801 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2802 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2803 keywords because we need to localize them.
2804 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2806 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2807 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2808 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2811 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2814 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2815 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2816 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2819 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2820 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2821 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2823 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2825 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2826 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2827 bottom of your class file.
2830 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2833 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2835 - improved error message when loading modules so
2836 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2837 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2838 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2841 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2842 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2843 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2845 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2846 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2848 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2849 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2850 turn them on for you.
2851 - added tests for this
2852 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2853 in Moose::Meta::Class
2856 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2857 automatically turned on for you.
2858 - added tests for this
2861 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2862 - added tests for this
2863 - added some more edge case tests
2865 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006
2866 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2868 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2872 - added prototypes to the exported subs
2875 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2876 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2879 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2880 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2881 - This release works in combination with
2882 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2883 release because it uses the a new
2884 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2885 complete Role implementation. It has
2886 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2887 the the previous CPAN version. This
2888 release also lacks good updated docs,
2889 the official release will have updated docs.
2892 - refactored the keyword exports
2893 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2894 accepts more than one Role at a time
2895 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2896 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2899 - refactored the keyword exports
2900 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2901 accepts more than one Role at a time
2903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2904 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2905 string enumerations which can be used as
2907 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2910 - more careful checking of params to new()
2913 - much work done on the role composition
2914 - many new tests for conflict detection
2915 and composition edge cases
2916 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2917 looking at the tests
2919 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2920 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2921 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2923 * Moose::Meta::Class
2924 - some small changes to support the new
2926 - some small additions to support Roles
2928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2929 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2931 - some small changes to support the new
2933 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2934 with the 'handles' option
2935 - added several tests for this
2936 - no docs for this yet
2938 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2940 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2941 thanks to chansen for this commit
2942 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2943 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2944 on a per-attribute basis
2945 - added tests for this
2946 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2947 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2948 experimental feature and probably not finished
2949 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2950 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2951 - added tests for this

2966 construct_instance (for the better)
2968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3013 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3015 - added test for this
3018 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
