Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds for, noteworthy changes. 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010 [ENHANCEMENTS] * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version policy. (Chris Prather) * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based on this new support policy. (doy) [BUG FIXES] * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object, which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy) * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed all the docs. Now it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather) 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave Rolsky) 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge) 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010 [ENHANCEMENTS] * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs) * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky) [BUG FIXES] * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky) * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky) * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT #60596. (Dave Rolsky) * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky) * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT #62057. (perigrin) [OTHER] * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of Test::Exception. (rjbs) 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy) 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010 [ENHANCEMENTS] * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky) * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave Rolsky) * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave Rolsky) * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg) * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied to. (mst). [BUG FIXES] * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match, String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT #61962. (Dave Rolsky) * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy) * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method modifier sugar functions. (doy) * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with KiokuDB::Class. (doy) * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave Rolsky) * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is" gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky) * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave Rolsky) * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT #59613. (Dave Rolsky) 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010 [API CHANGES] * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code, but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details. * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is" and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating the attribute. * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to rename the aliases, etc). (doy) * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef' to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy) * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your class when you "use Moose". (doy) [ENHANCEMENTS] * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case, native trait methods will be very highly optimized. * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy) * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky) [BUG FIXES] * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new value is a reference. * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed based on a patch from Andreas Koenig. 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky) 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010 [API CHANGES] * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky) [ENHANCEMENTS] * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict, the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky) * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky) 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões. 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010 [API CHANGES] * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy) * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their code. (Dave Rolsky) [BUG FIXES] * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method, which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m) * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT #58411. (Dave Rolsky) * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail, the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted to coerce. (Dave Rolsky). 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010 [API CHANGES] * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky) [BUG FIXES] * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy) * default => undef now works properly. (doy) * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical. (Sartak) [ENHANCEMENTS] * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky). 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010 [API CHANGES] * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation warning. (Dave Rolsky) * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola) * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave Rolsky) * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave Rolsky). [NEW FEATURES] * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave Rolsky) * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy) [BUG FIXES] * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't inlinable. (doy) * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch) [ENHANCEMENTS] * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined function (not just method). (doy) [OTHER] * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests and aren't easily installable/testable. 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010 [ENHANCEMENTS] * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it to be overridden more easily (doy). 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude). 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010 [NEW FEATURES] * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints. 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010 [API CHANGES] * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy). * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by Moose::Object::new. (doy) [NEW FEATURES] * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy) * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy) [BUG FIXES] * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role is applied to a class (t0m). * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed' twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz). * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal (rjbs). * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz). * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should be much more robust. (doy) 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its upload. 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010 [NEW FEATURES] * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying roles (Florian Ragwitz). 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz) * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs. (Florian Ragwitz) * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi) * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason) * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm) 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010 [NEW FEATURES] * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz) [OTHER] * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin) 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz) [DOCUMENTATION] * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos. (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs) [OTHER] * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak) 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010 [NEW FEATURES] * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson) [BUG FIXES] * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs) [NEW DOCUMENTATION] * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather) 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover) 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky). 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010 [NEW FEATURES] * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857) (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz) [BUG FIXES] * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934) (Michael G. Schwern) 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010 [NEW FEATURES] * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz) [ENHANCEMENTS] * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy) * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs, with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp result in an error. (Dylan Hardison) 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010 [API CHANGES] * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta. [ENHANCEMENTS] * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role - Moose::Util::does_role - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky) [BUG FIXES] * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky) 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl) 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010 [BUG FIXES] * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN testers. (Dave Rolsky) 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010 [API CHANGES] See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues. * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class. (Dave Rolsky). * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky) * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass too. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. Dave Rolsky> * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl) [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES] * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from substr et al, again. (sorear) * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain) * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by jrey. * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin) * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy) * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side dependencies installed. * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni) 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009 * Moose::Object - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer warns. (doy) * Moose::Meta::Role - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the future. (doy) - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen) - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy) * Moose::Exporter - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among others. (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during remove_accessors. (doy) * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy) * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy) 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan) - added tests and docs for this (Stevan) * Moose::Meta::Class - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch) 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009 * Moose::Object - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc) (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke KiokuDB. (nothingmuch) 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Object - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky) - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky) - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes, which were not receiving the value of Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction. - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram. - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction. - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be issued. (perigrin) * Moose::Meta::Role - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl) - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta" method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan) - added tests for this (Stevan) * Moose::Meta::Class - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about, we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became quite problematic. 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp) * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils, including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy) * Moose::Exporter - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting class if you pass it options for Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy). - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago. - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a warning yet. (Dave Rolsky) - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist, Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy) * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave Rolsky) 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the existing delegation API. (hdp) * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak, perigrin, doy) * Moose::Error::Croak * Moose::Error::Confess - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing modules. (Curtis Jewell) * Moose - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat) * Moose::Exporter - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than installing a broken sub. (doy) * Moose::Meta::Class - Moose now warns if you call C for a class with mutable ancestors. (doy) 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009 * Moose::Manual::Attributes - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210 reported by Ovid. (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs) * Moose::Exporter - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits does. (doy) - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy) * Moose::Util - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy) * Moose::Meta::Attribute * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading. Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak) - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start using it for new code! * Moose::Meta::Role::Application * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old names for now, for backcompat) (doy) 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009 * Moose::Manual::Contributing - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a core committer before being applied to master. All releases are done by a cabal member and merged from master to stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin) * Moose::Meta::Role - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application classes. (rafl) * Moose::Util::MetaRole - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application classes. (rafl) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst) * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear) 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation - Once again allow class names as well as objects for delegation. This was changed in 0.86. 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP. * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the attribute's accessor returns something defined but unblessed. (hdp) 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp) 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009 * Moose::Role - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in roles. (doy) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has no associated methods, it will give a deprecation warning. (hdp) - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to associated_methods. (hdp) - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate, clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy) - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or misspelled) arguments * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName'). * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class (Sartak) - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me (perigrin) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since it is just a list of methods (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Role - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels). 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009 * Moose::Meta::Class - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object key in instances of anon classes. (doy) 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009 * Moose::Manual::Types - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the string parsing rathole (mst) * Moose::Manual::MooseX - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering using plain objects instead 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since that's what we need. 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 * Moose::Manual::FAQ - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up three times today (perigrin) - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody would document this fast enough (perigrin) * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods to prevent unnecessary introspection in Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL * Moose::* - A role's required methods are now represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors, resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak) * Moose::Role - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam Kennedy and confound (Sartak) - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy) * Tests - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP (nothingmuch) - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class (groditi) 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009 * Tests - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen. * Moose::Object - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases during global destruction. This method has been made more resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage collection order. * Moose::Exporter - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message now acknowledges that (Sartak) * Moose - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class, the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak) 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ * Moose::Unsweetened - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist * Moose::Exporter - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages that use it (doy) * Moose::Object - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH methods during global destruction (doy) * Moose::Meta::Class * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role consumption (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Class - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m) * Moose::Meta::Role - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak) * Tests - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov. 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009 * Moose::Meta::Role - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name (perigrin) * Moose::Object - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether or not we are currently in global destruction (doy) - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name (perigrin) * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to modern Moose hackers (Sartak) * Makefile.PL - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01. 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type constraint (hdp) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside of the Moose core (Sartak) * Tests - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files (Sartak) 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it consumes (Sartak) * Tests - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an unconditionally dependency (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Class - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+. 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009 * Moose * Moose::Meta::Class - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy) * Moose::Util - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp) * Moose::Exporter - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass" option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Role - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole application. (jdv) 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009 * Moose::Meta::Role * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings. (Florian Ragwitz) * Moose::Meta::Class - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method. * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - Removed the long-deprecated union method. 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009 * More deprecations and renamings - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called when an object is constructed) * Moose::Object - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would not be properly called. Reported by t0m. * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this feature, and it works again. * Moose::Util - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m) 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009 * Moose::* - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the message from the type constraint, instead using a generic message. Test provided by perigrin. * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin) - add tests and documentation (perigrin) * Moose - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's metaclass object. (hdp) * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and point out this fact. (hdp) * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class. * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class. * Moose::Meta::Class * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers called during instance construction were passed the meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp) * Moose::Manual::Attributes - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an argument. (hdp) * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP instead. (hdp) * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading underscore are consider "internals only". People writing subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override them, but they are not for "public" use. - Moose::Meta::Class - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called when an object is constructed) - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called when an object is constructed) - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent) - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent) - Moose::Meta::Role - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009 * No changes from 0.72_01. 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009 * Everything - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs. * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do: my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo'; * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class. * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu Greab. * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb * Moose::Exporter - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now makes sure the wrapped function still has the same prototype. (Daisuke Maki) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited attribute. (hdp) * Makefile.PL - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're better off with it listed. (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash Berlin) * Moose::Manual::Delta - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along with recommended workarounds. * Moose::Manual::Contributing - Contributor's guide to Moose. * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed (yes, spelled like that). * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor - This is_needed method is now always a class method. * Moose::Meta::Class - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match changes in latest Class::MOP. 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009 * Moose::Object * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint, while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error instead. Reported by doy. 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009 * Moose::Cookbook - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused them to display weird on search.cpan.org. * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where, message) is now deprecated. - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but often got it wrong. For example: my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]'; This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd expect. * Everywhere - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could bite you in weird cases. 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and BUILD. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Exporter - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy) * Tests - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the recipe code. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave Rolsky) 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Added the RoleName type (stevan) - added tests for this (stevan) * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more defensive about what it accepts (stevan) - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t (stevan) * Moose::Object - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy) - added tests for this (EvanCarroll) * Moose::Util::MetaRole - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl) - added tests for this (rafl) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were still out of date. * Tests - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky) * Documentation - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky) 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009 * Moose - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak) * Moose::Cookbook::* - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant from TPF. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the error message did not specify the attribute name properly. (doy) 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009 * POD - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim. * Moose::Manual::Attributes - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan didn't resolve links from other documents properly. * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for noticing this. 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009 * Moose::Manual::* - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety of fixes and formatting improvements. 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009 * Moose::Manual - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant from TPF. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error, but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky) 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden - If an overridden method called super(), and then the superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(), Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - All methods are now documented. (gphat) * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs) * Moose - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO section. (pjf) * Moose::Role - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires" declaration for a role. (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::Method::* - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose guts. (nothingmuch). 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak) - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication and enhance extensibility (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Class - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak) * Moose - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky) 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008 * Moose::Unsweetened - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example code. (Dave Rolsky) 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass - When a class does not provide all of a role's required methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon Swartz. (Dave Rolsky) - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky) 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008 * Moose::Object - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable before creating the default types provided by Moose. This should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky) 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the same methods for a single role did not work right (worked just fine with multiple roles) (stevan) - added test for this (stevan) * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation - fixed the error message when trying to compose a role with a role it excludes (Sartak) * Moose::Exporter - Catch another case where recursion caused the value of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m) - added test for this (t0m) * Moose - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that use Moose without no Moose (Sartak) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m) - added test for this (t0m) * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin) - added test for this (perigrin) * Moose::Meta::Role - create method for constructing a role dynamically (Sartak) - added test for this (Sartak) - anonymous roles! (Sartak) - added test for this (Sartak) * Moose::Role - more consistent error messages (Sartak) * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires methods is useful (Sartak) 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary (perigrin) * Moose::Meta::Class - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods) Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky) - added tests for this (jdv79) * Various - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky) 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008 * Moose::Exporter - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky) - Tests for this bug. (t0m) * Moose::Util - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m) - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage (t0m) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski) - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the future. (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers. (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized type. (jnapiorkowski) - added tests (jnapiorkowski) 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008 * Moose - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/ predicate, and link to more details sections in Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky) * Tests - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave Rolsky) - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/ lazy_build. (t0m) - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all kinds of supported type. (t0m) * Moose::Meta::Class - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with a required attribute * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems, apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose can no longer parse structured type constraints like ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some time in the future. (Dave Rolsky) 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !! !! how roles add methods to a class !! * Roles and role application ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is now possible to track the source of a method provided by a role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles. This means that methods added by a role now show up when looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky) * Makefile.PL - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one installed. For example, this release conflicts with ... - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05 - Fey::ORM <= 0.10 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small changes in the Moose internals. * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation * Moose::Meta::Attribute - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all whitespace. (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski) - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski) - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski) - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski) - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type constraint implementations. * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Exporter * Moose - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and always keep them. (Dave Rolsky) - added tests for this (rafl) * Moose::Meta::Class - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky) - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler) * Moose::Meta::Role - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler) - added tests for this (thepler) * Moose::Util::MetaRole - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass, that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the default. * Moose::Meta::Class * Moose::Meta::Attribute * Moose::Meta::Method * Moose * Moose::Object * Moose::Error::Default * Moose::Error::Croak * Moose::Error::Confess - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable C method. This method ultimately calls a class constructor, and you can change the class being called. In addition, errors now pass more information than just a string. The default C behaves like C, so the behavior is not visibly different for end users. 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008 * Moose::Intro - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Unsweetened - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski) - added tests (jnapiorkowski) * Moose::Exporter - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky) 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are several major changes in this release of Moose. ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the docs for details. - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch. - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky. - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the cookbook sections. - Various bug fixes. * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance. * Require Class::MOP 0.65. 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008 * Moose::Util::MetaRole * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits using this module. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose extensions (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2, respectively. 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP dependency to 0.64_07. 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not found (t0m). * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and coincidental exception. (t0m). - added docs & test for this (t0m) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is not supplied (t0m). - added docs & test for this (t0m) * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait" (t0m) * Moose::Meta::Role - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required method when that method was provided by another role being composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky) - test and bug finding (tokuhirom) 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !! !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !! * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m) - added test for this (t0m) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_ coerce. (t0m) - added test for this (t0m) * Moose::Exporter - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike" modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors much easier. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it): use Moose -traits => 'Foo' This should make writing small Moose extensions a little easier (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky) * Moose * Moose::Role - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Role - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave Rolsky and nothingmuch) - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch) * Moose::Meta::Role - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body (nothingmuch) * many modules - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash refs, making many more classes immutable, and making constructors immutable. (nothingmuch) 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are created so that the process can be more easily overridden by subclasses (stevan) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - fixing what is passed into a ->message with the type constraints (RT #37569) - added tests for this (Charles Alderman) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst) * Moose::Cookbook - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta, Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading in combination with Moose. (bluefeet) * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base class (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 - how to write modules with an API just like C (Dave Rolsky) * all documentation - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave Rolsky, Paul Fenwick) 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008 ... this is not my day today ... * Moose::Meta::Attribute - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that clone_and_inherit options still works for Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers (stevan) 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before actually releasing the module. No actual changes in this release, except the fact that it includes the changes that I didn't include in the last release. (stevan--) 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008 * Moose - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333) - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since this is not ever something you want to do (fixed by stevan, found by obra) - added tests for this (stevan) * Moose::Object - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES) (nothingmuch) - added test for this * Moose::Meta::Attribute - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis) - added tests for this (wreis) * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::* - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should not have been released yet.

Jun 26, 2008 * Moose::Role - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does something (sartak) * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in order to provide its own implementation, that method still got added to the list of required methods for consumers of RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example of all this. (Dave Rolsky) - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by dew. (Dave Rolsky) - added test for this (Dave Rolsky) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak) - added tests for this (sartak) - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new install_delegation method (Stevan) * Moose::Object - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new() * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak) * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue (not yet fixed) - Some null_constraint optimizations 0.50 Thurs.

This fixes that. 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else changed in this release (cpantesters++) - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55 since we have tests which need the C3 support 0.41 Mon.

May 31, 2007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring prototypes for functions - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL). - added tests and docs for this - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the default for where be { 1 } - added test for this * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to merlyn for finding this bug - tests added for this - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests * Moose::Object - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then having it die cause undef is not a HASH. - added tests for this 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007 * Moose - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest - altered unimport tests to handle this * Moose::Role - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT * Moose::Meta::Class - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test * Moose::Meta::Role - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses where not handled correctly in roles - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Class - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for finding this insidious error, and it's solution. ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs, many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :) 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test so this release is just to fix that. * Moose - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref to create multiple attrs (see docs) (thanks to konobi for this) - added tests and docs 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007 ~~ More documentation updates ~~ * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - 'type' now supports messages as well thanks to phaylon for finding this - added tests for this - added &list_all_type_constraints and &list_all_builtin_type_constraints functions to facilitate introspection. * Moose::Meta::Attribute - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations to build the list of delegated methods correctly (and not override important things like &new) thanks to ashleyb for finding this - added tests and docs for this - added the 'documentation' attributes so that you can actually document your attributes and inspect them through the meta-object. - added tests and docs for this * Moose::Meta::Class - when loading custom attribute metaclasses it will first look in for the class in the Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and then default to just loading $name. - added tests and docs for this * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - type constraints now stringify to their names. - added test for this * misc. - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP test, ask Rob Kinyon why. - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;) 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~ * misc. - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to load all classes. - added tests to show types and subtypes working with Declare::Constraints::Simple and Test::Deep as constraint engines. 0.18_001 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !! !! for this developer release to work !! This release was primarily adding the immutable feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which you promise not to alter. When you set the class as immutable it will perform various bits of memoization and inline certain part of the code (constructors, destructors and accessors). This minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates) one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional. It has several configurable bits as well, so you can pick and choose to your specific needs. The changes involved in this were fairly wide and highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are truely interested in what was changed, please do a diff :) 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - bugfix for read-only accessors which are have a type constraint and lazy. Thanks to chansen for finding it. 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006 ++ NOTE ++ There are some speed improvements in this release, but they are only the begining, so stay tuned. * Moose::Object - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get called unless they actually need to be. This gave us a signifigant speed boost for the cases when there is no BUILD or DEMOLISH method present. * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - added an 'optimize_as' option to the type constraint, which allows for a hand optimized version of the type constraint to be used when possible. - Any internally created type constraints now provide an optimized version as well. 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006 ++ NOTE ++ This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have been made in order to be compatible with that release. * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - added &unimport so that you can clean out your class namespace of these exported keywords * Moose::Meta::Class - fixed minor issue which occasionally comes up during global destruction (thanks omega) - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into its own file. * Moose::Meta::Role - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into its own file. * Moose::Meta::Attribute - changed how we do type checks so that we reduce the overall cost, but still retain correctness. *** API CHANGE *** - moved accessor generation methods to Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to conform to the API changes from Class::MOP 0.36 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - changed how constraints are compiled so that we do less recursion and more iteration. This makes the type check faster :) - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union into its own file * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor - created this from methods formerly found in Moose::Meta::Attribute * Moose::Meta::Role::Method - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006 * Moose::Meta::Attribute - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley) - added tests for this - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it broke predicates in an ugly way. - removed tests for this 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006 ++ NOTE ++ This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have been made in order to be compatible with that release. * Moose - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better symbol table citizen and remove a dependency (thanks Adam Kennedy) **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~** - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the comments for more info. * Moose::Cookbook - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently asked questions and common problems * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Attribute - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM. This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef as well. - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too. - new test added for this (thanks to ashley) * Moose::Meta::Role - added basic support for runtime role composition but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback is much appreciated :) - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - the type constraint now handles the coercion process through delegation, this is to support the coercion of unions * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union - it is now possible for coercions to be performed on a type union - added tests for this (thanks to konobi) * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion - properly capturing error when type constraint is not found * Build.PL - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin. (thanks Adam Kennedy) 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006 * Moose::Cookbook - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written * Moose - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super keywords because we need to localize them. - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :) **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~** - added the method and self keywords, they are basically just sugar, and they may not stay around. * Moose::Object - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper an object * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes) * Moose::Meta::Role - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer creates the _role_meta ugliness of before. - fixed tests to reflect this change 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006 * Moose - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the bottom of your class file. * t/ - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test dependency. 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006 * Moose - improved error message when loading modules so it is less confusing when you load a role. - added &calculate_all_roles method to Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role NOTE: This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;) 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++ * Moose - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will turn them on for you. - added tests for this - moved code from exported subs to private methods in Moose::Meta::Class * Moose::Role - as with Moose, strict and warnings are automatically turned on for you. - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Role - now handles an edge case for override errors - added tests for this - added some more edge case tests 0.09_02 Tues. May 16, 2006 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++ * Moose - added prototypes to the exported subs - updated docs * Moose::Role - added prototypes to the exported subs - updated docs * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - cleaned up prototypes for the subs - updated docs 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++ - This release works in combination with Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer release because it uses the a new instance sub-protocol and a fairly complete Role implementation. It has not yet been optimized, so it slower the the previous CPAN version. This release also lacks good updated docs, the official release will have updated docs. * Moose - refactored the keyword exports - 'with' now checks Role validaity and accepts more than one Role at a time - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as needed to ensure metaclass compatibility * Moose::Role - refactored the keyword exports - 'with' now checks Role validaity and accepts more than one Role at a time * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - added the 'enum' keyword for simple string enumerations which can be used as type constraints - see example of usage in t/202_example.t * Moose::Object - more careful checking of params to new() * Moose::Meta::Role - much work done on the role composition - many new tests for conflict detection and composition edge cases - not enough documentation, I suggest looking at the tests * Moose::Meta::Instance - added new Instance metaclass to support the new Class::MOP instance protocol * Moose::Meta::Class - some small changes to support the new instance protocol - some small additions to support Roles * Moose::Meta::Attribute - some improvements to the accessor generation code by nothingmuch - some small changes to support the new instance protocol - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support with the 'handles' option - added several tests for this - no docs for this yet 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006 * Moose - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter thanks to chansen for this commit - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option to support custom attribute meta-classes on a per-attribute basis - added tests for this - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an experimental feature and probably not finished see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for more details, or ask about it on #moose - added tests for this * Moose::Role - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter * Moose::Utils::TypeConstraints - reorganized the type constraint hierarchy, thanks to nothingmuch and chansen for his help and advice on this - added some tests for this - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter thanks to chansen for this commit * Moose::Meta::Class - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change construct_instance (for the better) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing) * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint - added type constraint unions - added tests for this - added the is_subtype_of predicate method - added tests for this 0.04 Sun. April 16th, 2006 * Moose::Role - Roles can now consume other roles - added tests for this - Roles can specify required methods now with the requires() keyword - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Role - ripped out much of it's guts ,.. much cleaner now - added required methods and correct handling of them in apply() for both classes and roles - added tests for this - no longer adds a does() method to consuming classes it relys on the one in Moose::Object - added roles attribute and some methods to support roles consuming roles * Moose::Meta::Attribute - added support for triggers on attributes - added tests for this - added support for does option on an attribute - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Class - added support for attribute triggers in the object construction - added tests for this * Moose - Moose no longer creates a subtype for your class if a subtype of the same name already exists, this should DWIM in 99.9999% of all cases * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were being reported - added test for this * Moose::Object - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now - added test for this 0.03_02 Wed. April 12, 2006 * Moose - you must now explictly use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints it no longer gets exported for you automatically * Moose::Object - new() now accepts hash-refs as well as key/value lists - added does() method to check for Roles - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Class - added roles attribute along with the add_role() and does_role() methods - added tests for this * Moose::Meta::Role - now adds a does() method to consuming classes which tests the class's hierarchy for roles - added tests for this 0.03_01 Mon.

March 30, 2006 * Moose::Cookbook - added the Moose::Cookbook with 5 recipes, describing all the stuff Moose can do. * Moose - fixed an issue with &extends super class loading it now captures errors and deals with inline packages correctly (bug found by mst, solution stolen from alias) - added super/override & inner/augment features - added tests and docs for these * Moose::Object - BUILDALL now takes a reference of the %params that are passed to &new, and passes that to each BUILD as well. * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - Type constraints now survive runtime reloading - added test for this * Moose::Meta::Class - fixed the way attribute defaults are handled during instance construction (bug found by chansen) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - read-only attributes now actually enforce their read-only-ness (this corrected in Class::MOP as well) 0.02 Tues. March 21, 2006 * Moose - many more tests, fixing some bugs and edge cases - &extends now loads the base module with UNIVERSAL::require - added UNIVERSAL::require to the dependencies list ** API CHANGES ** - each new Moose class will also create and register a subtype of Object which correspond to the new Moose class. - the 'isa' option in &has now only accepts strings, and will DWIM in almost all cases * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints - added type coercion features - added tests for this - added support for this in attributes and instance construction ** API CHANGES ** - type construction no longer creates a function, it registers the type instead. - added several functions to get the registered types * Moose::Object - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL were broken because of a mis-named hash key, Whoops :) * Moose::Meta::Attribute - adding support for coercion in the autogenerated accessors * Moose::Meta::Class - adding support for coercion in the instance construction * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion - type constraints and coercions are now full fledges meta-objects 0.01 Wed.
