1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
7 string parsing rathole (mst)
9 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
10 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
11 using plain objects instead
14 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
19 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
20 three times today (perigrin)
21 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
22 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
24 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
25 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
26 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
27 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
30 - A role's required methods are now represented by
31 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
32 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
33 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
34 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
35 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
38 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
39 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
40 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
41 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
44 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
46 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
49 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
51 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
54 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
55 during global destruction. This method has been made more
56 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
60 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
61 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
64 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
65 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
67 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
68 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
69 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
72 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
74 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
75 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
78 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
82 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
83 methods during global destruction (doy)
86 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
87 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
91 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
92 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
95 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
96 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
99 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
100 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
102 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
104 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
108 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
109 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
110 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
113 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
114 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
115 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
118 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
120 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
121 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
122 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
125 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
126 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
127 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
128 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
130 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
131 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
132 of the Moose core (Sartak)
135 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
138 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
139 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
140 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
144 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
145 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
148 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
150 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
153 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
154 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
157 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
158 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
161 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
162 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
165 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
168 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
170 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
171 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
175 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
177 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
178 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
181 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
182 * More deprecations and renamings
183 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
184 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
185 when an object is constructed)
188 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
189 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
190 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
192 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
193 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
194 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
195 feature, and it works again.
198 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
200 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
202 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
203 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
204 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
207 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
208 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
209 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
210 message. Test provided by perigrin.
212 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
213 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
214 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
215 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
216 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
219 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
220 metaclass object. (hdp)
222 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
223 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
224 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
225 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
226 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
227 point out this fact. (hdp)
229 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
230 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
232 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
233 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
237 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
238 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
239 called during instance construction were passed the
240 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
241 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
243 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
244 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
247 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
248 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
249 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
252 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
253 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
254 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
255 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
256 them, but they are not for "public" use.
259 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
261 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
262 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
263 when an object is constructed)
264 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
266 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
267 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
268 when an object is constructed)
269 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
270 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
271 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
274 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
276 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
277 * No changes from 0.72_01.
279 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
281 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
282 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
283 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
285 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
286 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
287 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
289 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
291 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
292 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
294 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
295 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
298 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
299 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
302 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
303 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
304 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
307 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
311 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
312 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
313 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
315 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
316 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
319 * Moose::Manual::Delta
320 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
321 with recommended workarounds.
323 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
324 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
327 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
328 (yes, spelled like that).
330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
331 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
334 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
335 changes in latest Class::MOP.
337 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
340 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
341 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
342 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
343 instead. Reported by doy.
345 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
347 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
348 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
351 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
352 message) is now deprecated.
353 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
354 often got it wrong. For example:
356 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
358 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
362 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
363 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
364 bite you in weird cases.
366 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
367 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
368 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
371 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
372 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
376 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
379 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
380 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
383 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
384 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
386 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
387 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
390 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
391 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
392 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
393 - added tests for this (stevan)
395 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
396 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
397 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
398 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
402 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
403 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
404 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
405 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
407 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
408 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
409 - added tests for this (rafl)
411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
412 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
413 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
414 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
418 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
419 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
422 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
423 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
424 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
426 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
428 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
429 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
432 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
433 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
434 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
435 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
438 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
439 error message did not specify the attribute name
442 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
444 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
446 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
447 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
448 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
451 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
454 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
456 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
457 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
458 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
459 of fixes and formatting improvements.
461 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
463 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
464 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
465 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
466 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
469 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
470 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
472 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
473 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
474 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
475 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
476 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
478 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
479 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
480 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
481 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
482 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
485 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
486 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
487 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
488 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
489 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
491 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
492 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
493 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
494 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
495 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
496 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
499 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
501 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
502 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
503 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
504 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
506 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
507 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
510 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
514 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
515 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
517 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
518 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
519 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
522 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
523 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
524 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
527 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
528 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
529 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
532 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
535 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
536 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
538 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
540 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
543 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
544 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
545 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
546 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
547 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
548 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
550 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
551 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
552 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
553 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
554 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
555 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
556 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
557 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
558 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
559 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
561 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
563 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
564 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
566 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
567 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
568 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
569 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
571 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
572 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
573 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
574 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
575 same methods for a single role did not work
576 right (worked just fine with multiple
578 - added test for this (stevan)
580 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
581 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
582 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
585 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
586 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
587 - added test for this (t0m)
590 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
591 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
592 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
594 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
595 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
596 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
597 - added test for this (t0m)
599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
600 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
601 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
602 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
603 - added test for this (perigrin)
606 - create method for constructing a role
608 - added test for this (Sartak)
609 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
610 - added test for this (Sartak)
613 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
615 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
616 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
617 methods is useful (Sartak)
619 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
621 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
625 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
626 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
627 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
628 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
629 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
630 - added tests for this (jdv79)
633 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
634 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
636 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
637 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
638 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
639 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
640 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
642 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
644 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
645 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
646 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
649 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
650 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
651 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
652 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
653 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
654 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
658 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
659 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
660 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
661 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
662 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
663 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
664 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
665 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
666 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
667 future. (jnapiorkowski)
669 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
670 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
673 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
674 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
675 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
676 type. (jnapiorkowski)
677 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
679 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
681 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
682 predicate, and link to more details sections in
683 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
685 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
686 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
689 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
690 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
691 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
694 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
695 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
697 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
699 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
700 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
703 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
704 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
707 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
708 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
709 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
710 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
712 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
713 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
716 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
717 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
718 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
719 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
720 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
721 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
722 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
724 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
725 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
726 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
728 * Roles and role application
729 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
730 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
731 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
732 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
733 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
735 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
736 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
739 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
740 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
741 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
742 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
743 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
746 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
747 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
748 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
749 changes in the Moose internals.
751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
752 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
753 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
756 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
757 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
758 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
759 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
761 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
762 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
763 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
764 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
766 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
767 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
768 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
769 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
770 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
771 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
772 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
773 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
774 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
775 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
776 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
777 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
778 constraint implementations.
780 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
784 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
785 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
786 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
787 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
788 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
789 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
790 - added tests for this (rafl)
793 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
794 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
795 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
796 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
797 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
798 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
799 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
800 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
803 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
804 - added tests for this (thepler)
806 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
807 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
808 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
809 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
814 * Moose::Meta::Method
817 * Moose::Error::Default
818 * Moose::Error::Croak
819 * Moose::Error::Confess
820 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
821 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
822 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
823 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
824 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
825 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
827 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
829 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
830 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
833 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
834 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
835 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
838 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
839 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
840 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
841 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
844 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
845 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
847 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
848 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
849 several major changes in this release of Moose.
850 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
853 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
855 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
856 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
858 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
863 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed

869 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
870 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
871 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
872 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
873 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
875 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
876 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
877 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
879 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

881 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
884 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
885 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
886 dependency to 0.64_07.
888 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
889 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
890 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
893 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
896 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
897 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
898 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
899 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
900 coincidental exception. (t0m).
901 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
904 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
906 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
908 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
909 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
913 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
914 method when that method was provided by another role being
915 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
916 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
918 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
920 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
921 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
923 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

925 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
926 - added test for this (t0m)
928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
929 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
930 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
932 - added test for this (t0m)
935 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
936 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
937 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
940 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
941 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
943 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
945 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
948 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
949 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
950 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
952 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
953 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
956 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
957 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
958 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
959 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
963 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
964 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
965 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
968 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
969 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
970 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
971 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
974 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
978 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
979 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
980 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)

1000 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1001 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1002 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

1021 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1023 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1024 ... this is not my day today ...
1026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1027 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1028 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1029 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1030 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1033 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1034 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1035 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1036 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1037 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1040 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1042 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1043 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1044 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1045 this is not ever something you want to do
1046 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1047 - added tests for this (stevan)
1050 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1052 - added test for this

1065 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1068 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1070 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1072 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1075 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1076 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1077 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1078 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1079 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1080 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1081 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1082 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 - added tests for this
1085 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1086 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1087 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1088 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1090 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

1159 which was causing the indexer to choke
1161 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1162 (late night release engineering)--
1164 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1165 changes in this release
1167 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

1173 since it is called so often by &meta
1175 * Moose::Meta::Class

1178 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor

1183 method for immutablization to check if the
1184 destructor object even needs to be created
1187 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1188 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1189 - added more descriptive error message to help
1190 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1191 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1193 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1195 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1196 XS based functionality is now optional
1197 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1198 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1199 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1201 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1202 to take care of this, mostly we added
1203 support for the package_name and name
1204 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1205 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1206 support regexp matching of names
1207 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1210 is currently not supported in roles,
1211 but, ... patches welcome

1213 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1214 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1217 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1218 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1219 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1220 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1221 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
1222 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
1223 - added test for this
1225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1246 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
1247 called by the inlined immutable
1249 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1251 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1252 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1253 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1254 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1256 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1257 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
1261 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
1262 causing occasional cpantester failures

1268 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
1269 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1272 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1273 ->body when looping through the
1274 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1276 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1277 eating the $@ values, and so not
1278 working correctly, it still kind of
1279 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1280 - added tests for this
1282 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1283 - added new recipe for immutable
1284 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1292 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
1295 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
1297 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
1298 since Module::Install has done that.

1302 drink more coffee before
1303 doing release engineering
1305 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
1306 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
1307 modules. This fixes that.

1310 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
1311 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

1417 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
1418 - I hate Pod::Coverage
1420 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1422 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
1423 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
1424 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
1425 officially support it.
1426 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
1427 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
1430 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
1431 monkeypatching of classes in one liners
1434 - fixing the 'apply_all_roles' keyword so that it will not
1435 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

1462 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
1464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1466 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
1467 it ever did this originally, this means we now
1468 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
1470 - added more delegation tests
1471 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
1472 support traits and their introspection.
1473 - added tests for this

1629 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
1630 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!

1713 - added tests for this
1716 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
1717 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

1756 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
1759 - fixed how required methods are handled
1760 when they encounter overriden or modified
1761 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1762 - added tests for this
1764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1765 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1766 the | always creates a union and so is
1767 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1768 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
1770 - added more tests for this
1772 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1775 * Parameterized Types
1776 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1777 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
1778 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
1779 They can also be nested:
1780 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
1781 And work with the type unions as well:
1782 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
1784 * Better Framework Extendability
1785 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
1786 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
1787 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
1788 section of the Moose.pm docs.
1791 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
1792 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
1793 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
1794 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2055 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2057 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2058 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2059 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2062 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2063 !! for this developer release to work !!
2065 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2066 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2067 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2068 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2069 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2070 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2071 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2072 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2073 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2074 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2075 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2077 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2078 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2079 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2080 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2083 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2084 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2085 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2086 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2087 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2089 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2091 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2092 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2095 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2096 called unless they actually need to be.
2097 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2098 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2099 DEMOLISH method present.
2101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2102 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2103 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2104 type constraint, which allows for a
2105 hand optimized version of the type
2106 constraint to be used when possible.
2107 - Any internally created type constraints
2108 now provide an optimized version as well.
2110 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2112 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2113 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2114 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2116 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2117 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2118 your class namespace of these exported
2121 * Moose::Meta::Class
2122 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2123 comes up during global destruction
2125 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2129 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2133 - changed how we do type checks so that
2134 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2137 - moved accessor generation methods to
2138 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2139 conform to the API changes from
2142 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2143 - changed how constraints are compiled
2144 so that we do less recursion and more
2145 iteration. This makes the type check
2147 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2150 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2151 - created this from methods formerly found in
2152 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2154 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2155 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2158 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2160 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2161 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2163 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2166 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2167 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2168 - added tests for this
2169 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2170 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2171 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2172 - removed tests for this
2174 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2176 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2177 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2178 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2181 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2182 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2183 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2185 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2186 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2187 comments for more info.
2190 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2191 asked questions and common problems
2193 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2194 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2195 - added tests for this
2197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2198 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2199 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2200 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2202 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2203 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2206 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2207 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2208 is much appreciated :)
2209 - added tests for this
2211 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2212 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2213 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2216 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2217 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2219 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2221 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2222 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2226 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2227 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2228 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2230 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2232 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2235 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2236 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2237 keywords because we need to localize them.
2238 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2240 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2241 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2242 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2245 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2249 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2250 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2253 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2254 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2255 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2257 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2259 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2260 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2261 bottom of your class file.
2264 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2267 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2269 - improved error message when loading modules so
2270 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2271 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2272 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2275 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2276 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2277 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2279 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2280 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2282 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2283 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2284 turn them on for you.
2285 - added tests for this
2286 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2287 in Moose::Meta::Class
2290 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2291 automatically turned on for you.

2295 - now handles an edge case for override errors
2296 - added tests for this

2310 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
2313 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2314 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2315 - This release works in combination with
2316 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2317 release because it uses the a new
2318 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2319 complete Role implementation. It has
2320 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2321 the the previous CPAN version. This
2322 release also lacks good updated docs,
2323 the official release will have updated docs.
2326 - refactored the keyword exports
2327 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2328 accepts more than one Role at a time
2329 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2330 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
2333 - refactored the keyword exports
2334 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2335 accepts more than one Role at a time
2337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2338 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
2339 string enumerations which can be used as
2341 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
2344 - more careful checking of params to new()
2347 - much work done on the role composition
2348 - many new tests for conflict detection
2349 and composition edge cases
2350 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2351 looking at the tests
2353 * Moose::Meta::Instance
2354 - added new Instance metaclass to support
2355 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
2357 * Moose::Meta::Class

2360 - some small additions to support Roles
2362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2363 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
2365 - some small changes to support the new
2367 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
2368 with the 'handles' option
2369 - added several tests for this
2370 - no docs for this yet
2372 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
2374 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
2375 thanks to chansen for this commit
2376 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2377 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2378 on a per-attribute basis
2379 - added tests for this
2380 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
2381 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
2382 experimental feature and probably not finished
2383 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
2384 more details, or ask about it on #moose
2385 - added tests for this
2388 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

2400 construct_instance (for the better)
2402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2447 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
2449 - added test for this
2452 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
2453 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
