1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
9 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
11 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
15 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
17 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
18 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
23 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
24 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
26 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
27 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
28 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
29 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
32 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
33 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
34 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
35 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
37 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
41 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
42 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
47 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
49 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
51 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
56 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
58 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
62 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
63 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
64 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
66 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
67 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
68 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
69 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
71 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
72 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
73 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
74 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
75 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
78 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
83 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
84 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
85 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
86 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
87 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
90 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
94 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
97 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
98 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
102 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
103 function (not just method). (doy)
107 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
108 and aren't easily installable/testable.
110 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
114 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
115 to be overridden more easily (doy).
117 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
121 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
122 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
124 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
128 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
129 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
130 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
132 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
136 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
137 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
138 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
140 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
141 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
145 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
146 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
148 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
149 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
153 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
154 is applied to a class (t0m).
156 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
157 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
159 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
162 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
163 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
165 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
166 be much more robust. (doy)
168 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
170 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
173 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
177 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
178 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
180 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
184 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
185 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
187 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
190 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
191 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
192 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
194 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
195 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
196 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
199 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
201 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
205 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
206 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
210 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
212 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
217 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
221 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
222 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
226 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
228 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
232 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
233 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
237 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
238 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
242 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
243 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
245 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
249 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
250 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
251 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
254 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
258 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
259 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
260 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
261 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
263 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
267 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
268 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
269 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
273 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
276 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
280 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
281 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
282 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
286 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
287 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
289 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
290 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
291 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
292 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
294 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
298 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
302 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
303 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
305 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
306 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
307 - Moose::Util::does_role
308 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
309 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
310 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
312 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
316 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
317 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
318 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
321 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
325 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
326 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
329 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
333 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
334 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
337 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
341 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
343 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
344 class. (Dave Rolsky).
346 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
347 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
348 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
350 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
351 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
352 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
355 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
356 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky>
358 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
359 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
360 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
362 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
364 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
365 substr et al, again. (sorear)
367 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
369 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
372 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
373 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
375 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
376 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
378 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
379 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
380 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
381 dependencies installed.
383 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
384 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
387 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
389 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
393 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
396 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
397 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
399 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
400 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
401 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
403 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
404 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
407 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
408 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
409 others. (nothingmuch)
411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
412 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
413 remove_accessors. (doy)
415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
416 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
417 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
420 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
422 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
424 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
425 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
428 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
429 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
432 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
434 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
436 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
437 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
441 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
442 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
443 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
444 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
446 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
448 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
449 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
450 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
451 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
452 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
455 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
456 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
457 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
458 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
459 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
461 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
462 which were not receiving the value of
463 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
464 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
465 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
466 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
470 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
471 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
472 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
473 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
474 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
478 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
479 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
480 - added tests for this (Stevan)
483 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
484 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
485 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
488 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
490 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
493 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
494 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
497 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
498 class if you pass it options for
499 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
500 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
501 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
502 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
503 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
504 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
505 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
506 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
507 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
509 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
510 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
511 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
512 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
513 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
516 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
517 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
518 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
519 existing delegation API. (hdp)
521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
522 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
523 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
524 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
525 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
526 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
529 * Moose::Error::Croak
530 * Moose::Error::Confess
531 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
532 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
535 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
538 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
539 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
540 installing a broken sub. (doy)
543 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
546 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
547 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
548 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
550 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
551 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
552 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
553 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
554 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
556 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
557 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
560 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
562 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
563 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
566 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
567 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
571 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
572 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
574 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
575 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
576 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
577 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
578 using it for new code!
580 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
581 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
582 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
583 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
585 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
586 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
587 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
588 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
589 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
590 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
591 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
592 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
595 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
598 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
599 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
603 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
605 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
606 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
607 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
610 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
611 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
612 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
615 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
616 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
619 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
620 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
623 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
624 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
625 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
626 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
627 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
628 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
630 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
632 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
635 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
636 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
637 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
639 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
640 associated_methods. (hdp)
641 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
642 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
643 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
644 misspelled) arguments
646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
647 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
648 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
649 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
651 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
652 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
653 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
655 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
658 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
659 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
660 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
663 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
664 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
666 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
668 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
669 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
671 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
672 * Moose::Manual::Types
673 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
674 string parsing rathole (mst)
676 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
677 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
678 using plain objects instead
680 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
681 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
684 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
686 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
687 three times today (perigrin)
688 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
689 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
691 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
692 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
693 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
694 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
697 - A role's required methods are now represented by
698 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
699 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
700 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
701 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
702 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
705 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
706 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
707 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
708 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
711 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
713 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
716 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
718 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
721 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
722 during global destruction. This method has been made more
723 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
727 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
728 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
731 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
732 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
734 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
735 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
736 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
739 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
741 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
742 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
745 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
749 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
750 methods during global destruction (doy)
753 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
754 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
758 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
759 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
762 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
763 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
766 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
767 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
769 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
771 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
775 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
776 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
777 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
780 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
781 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
782 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
785 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
787 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
788 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
789 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
792 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
793 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
794 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
795 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
797 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
798 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
799 of the Moose core (Sartak)
802 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
805 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
806 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
807 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
811 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
812 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
815 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
817 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
820 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
821 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
824 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
825 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
828 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
829 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
832 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
835 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
838 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
842 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
844 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
845 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
848 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
849 * More deprecations and renamings
850 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
851 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
852 when an object is constructed)
855 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
856 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
857 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
859 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
860 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
861 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
862 feature, and it works again.
865 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
867 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
869 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
870 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
871 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
873 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
874 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
875 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
876 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
877 message. Test provided by perigrin.
879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
880 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
881 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
882 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
883 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
886 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
887 metaclass object. (hdp)
889 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
890 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
891 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
892 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
893 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
894 point out this fact. (hdp)
896 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
897 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
899 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
900 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
903 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
904 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
905 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
906 called during instance construction were passed the
907 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
908 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
910 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
911 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
914 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
915 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
916 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
919 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
920 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
921 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
922 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
923 them, but they are not for "public" use.
926 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
928 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
929 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
930 when an object is constructed)
931 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
933 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
934 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
935 when an object is constructed)
936 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
937 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
938 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
941 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
943 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
944 * No changes from 0.72_01.
946 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
948 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
949 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
950 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
953 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
954 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
956 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
958 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
959 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
961 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
962 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
965 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
966 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
969 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
970 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
971 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
974 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
978 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
979 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
980 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
982 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
983 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
986 * Moose::Manual::Delta
987 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
988 with recommended workarounds.
990 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
991 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
993 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
994 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
995 (yes, spelled like that).
997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
998 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1000 * Moose::Meta::Class
1001 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1002 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1004 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1006 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1007 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1008 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1009 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1010 instead. Reported by doy.
1012 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1014 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1015 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1017 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1018 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1019 message) is now deprecated.
1020 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1021 often got it wrong. For example:
1023 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1025 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1029 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1030 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1031 bite you in weird cases.
1033 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1034 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1035 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1036 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1038 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1039 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1043 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1046 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1047 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1050 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1051 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1053 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1054 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1057 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1059 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1060 - added tests for this (stevan)
1062 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1063 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1064 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1065 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1069 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1070 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1071 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1072 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1074 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1075 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1076 - added tests for this (rafl)
1078 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1079 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1080 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1081 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1085 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1086 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1089 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1090 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1091 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1093 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1095 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1096 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1098 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1099 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1100 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1101 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1102 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1105 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1106 error message did not specify the attribute name
1109 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1111 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1113 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1114 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1115 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1118 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1121 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1123 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1124 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1125 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1126 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1128 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1130 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1131 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1132 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1133 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1136 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1137 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1140 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1141 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1142 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1143 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1146 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1147 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1148 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1149 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1152 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1153 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1154 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1155 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1156 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1158 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
1159 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1160 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1161 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1162 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1163 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1165 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1166 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1168 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1169 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1170 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1171 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1173 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1174 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1177 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1181 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1182 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1184 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1185 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1186 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1187 guts. (nothingmuch).
1189 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1191 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1193 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1194 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1195 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1196 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1198 * Moose::Meta::Class
1199 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1202 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1203 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1205 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1206 * Moose::Unsweetened
1207 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1210 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1211 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1212 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1213 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1214 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1215 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1218 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1219 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1220 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1221 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1222 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1223 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1225 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1226 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1228 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1230 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1231 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1234 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1235 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1236 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1238 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1239 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1240 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1241 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1242 same methods for a single role did not work
1243 right (worked just fine with multiple
1245 - added test for this (stevan)
1247 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1248 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1249 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1252 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1253 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1254 - added test for this (t0m)
1257 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1258 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1259 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1262 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1263 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1264 - added test for this (t0m)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1267 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1268 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1269 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1270 - added test for this (perigrin)
1273 - create method for constructing a role
1274 dynamically (Sartak)
1275 - added test for this (Sartak)
1276 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1277 - added test for this (Sartak)
1280 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1282 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1283 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1284 methods is useful (Sartak)
1286 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1288 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class
1292 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1293 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1294 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1295 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1296 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1297 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1300 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1301 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1305 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1306 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1307 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1309 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1311 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1312 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1313 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1316 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1317 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1318 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1319 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1320 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1321 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1325 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1326 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1327 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1328 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1329 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1330 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1331 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1332 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1333 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1334 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1337 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1340 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1341 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1342 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1343 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1344 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1346 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1348 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1349 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1350 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1352 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1353 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1355 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1356 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1357 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1358 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1361 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1362 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1364 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1366 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1367 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1369 * Moose::Meta::Class
1370 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1371 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1372 a required attribute
1374 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1375 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1376 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1377 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1379 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1380 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1382 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1383 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1384 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1385 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1386 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1387 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1388 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1389 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1391 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1392 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1393 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1395 * Roles and role application
1396 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1397 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1398 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1399 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1400 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1402 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1403 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1406 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1407 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1408 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1409 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1410 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1413 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1414 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1415 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1416 changes in the Moose internals.
1418 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1420 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1423 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1424 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1425 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1426 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1428 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1429 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1430 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1431 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1433 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1434 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1435 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1436 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1437 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1438 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1439 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1440 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1441 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1442 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1443 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1444 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1445 constraint implementations.
1447 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1451 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1452 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1453 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1454 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1455 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1456 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1457 - added tests for this (rafl)
1459 * Moose::Meta::Class
1460 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1461 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1462 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1463 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1464 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1465 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1466 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1467 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1470 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1471 - added tests for this (thepler)
1473 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1474 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1475 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1476 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1479 * Moose::Meta::Class
1480 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1481 * Moose::Meta::Method
1484 * Moose::Error::Default
1485 * Moose::Error::Croak
1486 * Moose::Error::Confess
1487 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1488 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1489 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1490 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1491 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1492 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1494 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1496 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1497 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1499 * Moose::Unsweetened
1500 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1501 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1502 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1504 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1505 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1506 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1507 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1508 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1511 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1512 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1514 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1515 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1516 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1517 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1520 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1522 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1523 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1525 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1528 - Various bug fixes.

1535 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1536 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1537 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1538 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1539 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1540 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

1543 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1544 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

1553 dependency to 0.64_07.
1555 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1556 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1557 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1560 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1563 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1564 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1565 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1566 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1567 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1568 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1570 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1571 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1573 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1575 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1576 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1580 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1581 method when that method was provided by another role being
1582 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1583 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1585 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

1593 - added test for this (t0m)
1595 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1596 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1597 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1599 - added test for this (t0m)
1602 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1603 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1604 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1608 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1610 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1612 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1613 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1615 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1616 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1617 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1619 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1620 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1623 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1624 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

1626 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1630 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1631 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1632 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

1636 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1637 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

1641 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1645 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

1650 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1651 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are

1687 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1688 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1690 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1691 ... this is not my day today ...
1693 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1694 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1695 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1696 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1697 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1700 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1701 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1702 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1703 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1704 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1707 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1709 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1710 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1711 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1712 this is not ever something you want to do
1713 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1714 - added tests for this (stevan)
1717 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1719 - added test for this

1731 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1732 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1735 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1737 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1739 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1742 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1743 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1744 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1745 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1746 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1747 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1748 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1749 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1750 - added tests for this
1752 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1753 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1754 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1755 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

1826 which was causing the indexer to choke
1828 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
1829 (late night release engineering)--
1831 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
1832 changes in this release

1845 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
1848 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1849 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
1850 method for immutablization to check if the
1851 destructor object even needs to be created
1854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1855 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1856 - added more descriptive error message to help
1857 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
1858 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
1860 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1862 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1863 XS based functionality is now optional
1864 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1865 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1866 can now be used to force non-XS versions
1868 - several of the packages have been tweaked
1869 to take care of this, mostly we added
1870 support for the package_name and name
1871 variables in all the Method metaclasses
1872 - before/around/after method modifiers now
1873 support regexp matching of names
1874 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
1875 - tests added for this
1876 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
1877 is currently not supported in roles,
1878 but, ... patches welcome
1879 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
1880 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1881 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1885 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1886 the stack trace is usually not helpful
1887 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
1888 same array ref form that Moose.pm does

1890 - added test for this
1892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1893 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
1894 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
1897 * Moose::Meta::Class
1898 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
1902 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
1904 - added tests for this
1905 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
1906 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

1909 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
1910 themselves parameterizable types

1914 called by the inlined immutable
1916 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
1918 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
1919 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
1920 (if possible) to create the anon-class
1921 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
1923 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
1924 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

1936 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1939 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1940 ->body when looping through the
1941 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1943 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1944 eating the $@ values, and so not
1945 working correctly, it still kind of
1946 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1947 - added tests for this
1949 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
1950 - added new recipe for immutable
1951 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

1969 drink more coffee before
1970 doing release engineering
1972 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2006 - added test for this
2008 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2084 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2085 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2087 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2089 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2090 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2091 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2092 officially support it.
2093 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2094 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2129 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2132 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2133 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2134 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2135 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2137 - added more delegation tests
2138 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2139 support traits and their introspection.
2140 - added tests for this

2380 - added tests for this
2383 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2384 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

2423 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2426 - fixed how required methods are handled
2427 when they encounter overriden or modified
2428 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2429 - added tests for this
2431 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2432 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2433 the | always creates a union and so is
2434 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2435 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2437 - added more tests for this
2439 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2442 * Parameterized Types
2443 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2444 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2445 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2446 They can also be nested:
2447 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2448 And work with the type unions as well:
2449 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2451 * Better Framework Extendability
2452 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2453 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2454 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2455 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2458 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2459 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2460 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2461 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2464 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2466 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

2706 - added tests and docs for this
2708 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2709 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2710 - added test for this

2718 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2719 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2722 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2724 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2725 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2726 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2729 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2730 !! for this developer release to work !!
2732 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2733 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2734 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2735 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2736 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2737 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2738 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2739 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2740 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2741 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2742 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2744 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2745 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2746 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2747 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2750 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2752 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2753 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2754 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2756 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2758 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2759 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2762 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2763 called unless they actually need to be.
2764 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2765 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2766 DEMOLISH method present.
2768 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2769 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2770 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2771 type constraint, which allows for a
2772 hand optimized version of the type
2773 constraint to be used when possible.
2774 - Any internally created type constraints
2775 now provide an optimized version as well.
2777 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2779 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2780 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2781 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2784 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2785 your class namespace of these exported
2788 * Moose::Meta::Class
2789 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2790 comes up during global destruction
2792 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2796 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2800 - changed how we do type checks so that
2801 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2804 - moved accessor generation methods to
2805 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2806 conform to the API changes from
2809 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2810 - changed how constraints are compiled
2811 so that we do less recursion and more
2812 iteration. This makes the type check
2814 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2817 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2818 - created this from methods formerly found in
2819 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2821 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2822 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2824 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2825 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2827 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2828 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2830 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2832 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2833 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2834 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2835 - added tests for this
2836 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2837 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2838 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2839 - removed tests for this
2841 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2843 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2844 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2845 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2848 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2849 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2850 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2852 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2853 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2854 comments for more info.
2857 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2858 asked questions and common problems
2860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2861 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2862 - added tests for this
2864 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2865 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2866 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2867 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2869 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2870 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2873 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2874 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2875 is much appreciated :)
2876 - added tests for this
2878 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2879 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2880 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2883 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2884 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2886 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2888 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2889 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2893 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2894 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2895 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2897 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2899 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2902 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2903 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2904 keywords because we need to localize them.
2905 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2907 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2908 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2909 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2912 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2915 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2916 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2917 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2920 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2921 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2922 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2924 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2926 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2927 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2928 bottom of your class file.
2931 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2934 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2936 - improved error message when loading modules so
2937 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2938 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2939 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2942 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2943 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2944 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
2946 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
2947 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2949 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
2950 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
2951 turn them on for you.
2952 - added tests for this
2953 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
2954 in Moose::Meta::Class
2957 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
2958 automatically turned on for you.

2980 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
2981 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2982 - This release works in combination with
2983 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2984 release because it uses the a new
2985 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2986 complete Role implementation. It has
2987 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2988 the the previous CPAN version. This
2989 release also lacks good updated docs,
2990 the official release will have updated docs.
2993 - refactored the keyword exports
2994 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2995 accepts more than one Role at a time
2996 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
2997 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3000 - refactored the keyword exports
3001 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3002 accepts more than one Role at a time
3004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3005 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3006 string enumerations which can be used as
3008 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3011 - more careful checking of params to new()
3014 - much work done on the role composition
3015 - many new tests for conflict detection
3016 and composition edge cases
3017 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3018 looking at the tests
3020 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3021 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3022 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3024 * Moose::Meta::Class
3025 - some small changes to support the new
3027 - some small additions to support Roles
3029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3030 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3032 - some small changes to support the new
3034 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3035 with the 'handles' option
3036 - added several tests for this
3037 - no docs for this yet
3039 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3041 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3042 thanks to chansen for this commit
3043 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3044 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3045 on a per-attribute basis
3046 - added tests for this
3047 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3048 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3049 experimental feature and probably not finished

3114 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3116 - added test for this
