Besides helping keep up with changes, you can also use this document
for finding the lowest version of Moose that supported a given
it documented here, or think we missed an important feature, please
send us a patch.
-=head1 Version XX
+=head1 2.0500
+
+=item All the Cookbook recipes have been renamed
+
+We've given them all descriptive names, rather than numbers. This makes it
+easier to talk about them, and eliminates the need to renumber recipes in
+order to reorder them or delete one.
+
+=head1 2.0300

+
+=item The parent of a union type is its components' nearest common ancestor
+
+Previously, union types considered all of their component types their parent
+types. This was incorrect because parent types are defined as types that must
+be satisfied in order for the child type to be satisfied, but in a union,
+validating as any parent type will validate against the entire union. This has
+been changed to find the nearest common ancestor for all of its components. For
+example, a union of "Int|ArrayRef[Int]" now has a parent of "Defined".
+
+=item Union types consider all members in the C<is_subtype_of> and C<is_a_type_of> methods
+
+Previously, a union type would report itself as being of a subtype of a type if
+I<any> of its member types were subtypes of that type. This was incorrect
+because any value that passes a subtype constraint must also pass a parent
+constraint. This has changed so that I<all> of its member types must be a
+subtype of the specified type.
+
+=item Enum types now work with just one value
+
+Previously, an C<enum> type needed to have two or more values. Nobody knew
+why, so we fixed it.
+
+=item Methods defined in UNIVERSAL now appear in the MOP
+
+Any method introspection methods that look at methods from parent classes now
+find methods defined in UNIVERSAL. This includes methods like C<<
+$class->get_all_methods >> and C<< $class->find_method_by_name >>.
+
+This also means that you can now apply method modifiers to these methods.
+
+=item Hand-optimized type constraint code causes a deprecation warning
+
+If you provide an optimized sub ref for a type constraint, this now causes a
+deprecation warning. Typically, this comes from passing an C<optimize_as>
+parameter to C<subtype>, but it could also happen if you create a
+L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object directly.
+
+Use the inlining feature (C<inline_as>) added in 2.0100 instead.
+
+=item C<Class::Load::load_class> and C<is_class_loaded> have been removed
+
+The C<Class::MOP::load_class> and C<Class::MOP::is_class_loaded> subroutines
+are no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
+future. Moose now uses L<Class::Load> to provide this functionality, and you
+should do so as well.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 2.0205
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Array and Hash native traits provide a C<shallow_clone> method
+
+The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method, which
+will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as the
+attribute's reference.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 2.0100
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Hand-optimized type constraint code is deprecated in favor of inlining
+
+Moose allows you to provide a hand-optimized version of a type constraint's
+subroutine reference. This version allows type constraints to generate inline
+code, and you should use this inlining instead of providing a hand-optimized
+subroutine reference.
+
+This affects the C<optimize_as> sub exported by
+L<Moose::Util::TypeConstraints>. Use C<inline_as> instead.
+
+This will start warning in the 2.0300 release.

+=over 4
+
+=item More useful type constraint error messages
+
+If you have L<Devel::PartialDump> version 0.14 or higher installed, Moose's
+type constraint error messages will use it to display the invalid value, rather
+than just displaying it directly. This will generally be much more useful. For
+instance, instead of this:
+
+ Attribute (foo) does not pass the type constraint because: Validation failed for 'ArrayRef[Int]' with value ARRAY(0x275eed8)
+
+the error message will instead look like
+
+ Attribute (foo) does not pass the type constraint because: Validation failed for 'ArrayRef[Int]' with value [ "a" ]
+
+Note that L<Devel::PartialDump> can't be made a direct dependency at the
+moment, because it uses Moose itself, but we're considering options to make
+this easier.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 2.0000
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Roles have their own default attribute metaclass
+
+Previously, when a role was applied to a class, it would use the attribute
+metaclass defined in the class when copying over the attributes in the role.
+This was wrong, because for instance, using L<MooseX::FollowPBP> in the class
+would end up renaming all of the accessors generated by the role, some of which
+may be being called in the role, causing it to break. Roles now keep track of
+their own attribute metaclass to use by default when being applied to a class
+(defaulting to Moose::Meta::Attribute). This is modifiable using
+L<Moose::Util::MetaRole> by passing the C<applied_attribute> key to the
+C<role_metaroles> option, as in:
+
+ Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaroles(
+ for => __PACKAGE__,
+ class_metaroles => {
+ attribute => ['My::Meta::Role::Attribute'],
+ },
+ role_metaroles => {
+ applied_attribute => ['My::Meta::Role::Attribute'],
+ },
+ );
+
+=item Class::MOP has been folded into the Moose dist
+
+Moose and Class::MOP are tightly related enough that they have always had to be
+kept pretty closely in step in terms of versions. Making them into a single
+dist should simplify the upgrade process for users, as it should no longer be
+possible to upgrade one without the other and potentially cause issues. No
+functionality has changed, and this should be entirely transparent.
+
+=item Moose's conflict checking is more robust and useful
+
+There are two parts to this. The most useful one right now is that Moose will
+ship with a C<moose-outdated> script, which can be run at any point to list the
+modules which are installed that conflict with the installed version of Moose.
+After upgrading Moose, running C<moose-outdated | cpanm> should be sufficient
+to ensure that all of the Moose extensions you use will continue to work.
+
+The other part is that Moose's C<META.json> file will also specify the
+conflicts under the C<x_conflicts> key. We are working with the Perl tool chain
+developers to try to get conflicts support added to CPAN clients, and if/when
+that happens, the metadata already exists, and so the conflict checking will
+become automatic.
+
+=item Most deprecated APIs/features are slated for removal in Moose 2.0200
+
+Most of the deprecated APIs and features in Moose will start throwing an error
+in Moose 2.0200. Some of the features will go away entirely, and some will
+simply throw an error.
+
+The things on the chopping block are:
+
+=over 8
+
+=item * Old public methods in Class::MOP and Moose
+
+This includes things like C<< Class::MOP::Class->get_attribute_map >>, C<<
+Class::MOP::Class->construct_instance >>, and many others. These were
+deprecated in L<Class::MOP> 0.80_01, released on April 5, 2009.
+
+These methods will be removed entirely in Moose 2.0200.
+
+=item * Old public functions in Class::MOP
+
+This include C<Class::MOP::subname>, C<Class::MOP::in_global_destruction>, and
+the C<Class::MOP::HAS_ISAREV> constant. The first two were deprecated in 0.84,
+and the last in 0.80. Class::MOP 0.84 was released on May 12, 2009.
+
+These functions will be removed entirely in Moose 2.0200.
+
+=item * The C<alias> and C<excludes> option for role composition
+
+These were renamed to C<-alias> and C<-excludes> in Moose 0.89, released on
+August 13, 2009.
+
+Passing these will throw an error in Moose 2.0200.
+
+=item * The old L<Moose::Util::MetaRole> API
+
+This include the C<apply_metaclass_roles()> function, as well as passing the
+C<for_class> or any key ending in C<_roles> to C<apply_metaroles()>. This was
+deprecated in Moose 0.93_01, released on January 4, 2010.
+
+These will all throw an error in Moose 2.0200.
+
+=item * Passing plain lists to C<type()> or C<subtype()>
+
+The old API for these functions allowed you to pass a plain list of parameter,
+rather than a list of hash references (which is what C<as()>, C<where>,
+etc. return). This was deprecated in Moose 0.71_01, released on February 22,
+2009.
+
+This will throw an error in Moose 2.0200.
+
+=item * The Role subtype
+
+This subtype was deprecated in Moose 0.84, released on June 26, 2009.
+
+This will be removed entirely in Moose 2.0200.
+
+=back
+
+=back
+
+=head1 1.21
+
+=over 4
+
+=item * New release policy
+
+As of the 2.0 release, Moose now has an official release and support policy,
+documented in L<Moose::Manual::Support>. All API changes will now go through a
+deprecation cycle of at least one year, after which the deprecated API can be
+removed. Deprecations and removals will only happen in major releases.
+
+In between major releases, we will still make minor releases to add new
+features, fix bugs, update documentation, etc.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 1.16
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Configurable stacktraces
+
+Classes which use the L<Moose::Error::Default> error class can now have
+stacktraces disabled by setting the C<MOOSE_ERROR_STYLE> env var to C<croak>.
+This is experimental, fairly incomplete, and won't work in all cases (because
+Moose's error system in general is all of these things), but this should allow
+for reducing at least some of the verbosity in most cases.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 1.15
+
+=over 4
+
+=item Native Delegations
+
+In previous versions of Moose, the Native delegations were created as
+closures. The generated code was often quite slow compared to doing the same
+thing by hand. For example, the Array's push delegation ended up doing
+something like this:
+
+ push @{ $self->$reader() }, @_;
+
+If the attribute was created without a reader, the C<$reader> sub reference
+followed a very slow code path. Even with a reader, this is still slower than
+it needs to be.
+
+Native delegations are now generated as inline code, just like other
+accessors, so we can access the slot directly.
+
+In addition, native traits now do proper constraint checking in all cases. In
+particular, constraint checking has been improved for array and hash
+references. Previously, only the I<contained> type (the C<Str> in
+C<HashRef[Str]>) would be checked when a new value was added to the
+collection. However, if there was a constraint that applied to the whole
+value, this was never checked.
+
+In addition, coercions are now called on the whole value.
+
+The delegation methods now do more argument checking. All of the methods check
+that a valid number of arguments were passed to the method. In addition, the
+delegation methods check that the arguments are sane (array indexes, hash
+keys, numbers, etc.) when applicable. We have tried to emulate the behavior of
+Perl builtins as much as possible.
+
+Finally, triggers are called whenever the value of the attribute is changed by
+a Native delegation.
+
+These changes are only likely to break code in a few cases.
+
+The inlining code may or may not preserve the original reference when changes
+are made. In some cases, methods which change the value may replace it
+entirely. This will break tied values.
+
+If you have a typed arrayref or hashref attribute where the type enforces a
+constraint on the whole collection, this constraint will now be checked. It's
+possible that code which previously ran without errors will now cause the
+constraint to fail. However, presumably this is a good thing ;)
+
+If you are passing invalid arguments to a delegation which were previously
+being ignored, these calls will now fail.
+
+If your code relied on the trigger only being called for a regular writer,
+that may cause problems.
+
+As always, you are encouraged to test before deploying the latest version of
+Moose to production.
+
+=item Defaults is and default for String, Counter, and Bool
+
+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.
+
+=item The C<meta> method
+
+Moose and Class::MOP have been cleaned up internally enough to make the
+C<meta> method that you get by default optional. C<use Moose> and
+C<use Moose::Role> now can take an additional C<-meta_name> option, which
+tells Moose what name to use when installing the C<meta> method. Passing
+C<undef> to this option suppresses generation of the C<meta> method
+entirely. This should be useful for users of modules which also use a C<meta>
+method or function, such as L<Curses> or L<Rose::DB::Object>.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 1.09
+
+=over 4
+
+=item All deprecated features now warn
+
+Previously, deprecation mostly consisted of simply saying "X is deprecated" in
+the Changes file. We were not very consistent about actually warning. Now, all
+deprecated features still present in Moose actually give a warning. The
+warning is issued once per calling package. See L<Moose::Deprecated> for more
+details.
+
+=item You cannot pass C<< coerce => 1 >> unless the attribute's type constraint has a coercion
+
+Previously, this was accepted, and it sort of worked, except that if you
+attempted to set the attribute after the object was created, you would get a
+runtime error.
+
+Now you will get a warning when you attempt to define the attribute.
+
+=item C<no Moose>, C<no Moose::Role>, and C<no Moose::Exporter> no longer unimport strict and warnings
+
+This change was made in 1.05, and has now been reverted. We don't know if the
+user has explicitly loaded strict or warnings on their own, and unimporting
+them is just broken in that case.
+
+=item Reversed logic when defining which options can be changed
+
+L<Moose::Meta::Attribute> now allows all options to be changed in an
+overridden attribute. The previous behaviour required each option to be
+whitelisted using the C<legal_options_for_inheritance> method. This method has
+been removed, and there is a new method, C<illegal_options_for_inheritance>,
+which can now be used to prevent certain options from being changeable.
+
+In addition, we only throw an error if the illegal option is actually
+changed. If the superclass didn't specify this option at all when defining the
+attribute, the subclass version can still add it as an option.
+
+Example of overriding this in an attribute trait:
+
+ package Bar::Meta::Attribute;
+ use Moose::Role;
+
+ has 'my_illegal_option' => (
+ isa => 'CodeRef',
+ is => 'rw',
+ );
+
+ around illegal_options_for_inheritance => sub {
+ return ( shift->(@_), qw/my_illegal_option/ );
+ };
+
+=back
+
+=head1 1.05
+
+=over 4
+
+=item L<Moose::Object/BUILD> methods are now called when calling C<new_object>
+
+Previously, C<BUILD> methods would only be called from C<Moose::Object::new>,
+but now they are also called when constructing an object via
+C<Moose::Meta::Class::new_object>. C<BUILD> methods are an inherent part of the
+object construction process, and this should make C<< $meta->new_object >>
+actually usable without forcing people to use C<< $meta->name->new >>.
+
+=item C<no Moose>, C<no Moose::Role>, and C<no Moose::Exporter> now unimport strict and warnings
+
+In the interest of having C<no Moose> clean up everything that C<use Moose>
+does in the calling scope, C<no Moose> (as well as all other
+L<Moose::Exporter>-using modules) now unimports strict and warnings.
+
+=item Metaclass compatibility checking and fixing should be much more robust
+
+The L<metaclass compatibility|Moose/METACLASS COMPATIBILITY AND MOOSE> checking
+and fixing algorithms have been completely rewritten, in both Class::MOP and
+Moose. This should resolve many confusing errors when dealing with non-Moose
+inheritance and with custom metaclasses for things like attributes,
+constructors, etc. For correct code, the only thing that should require a
+change is that custom error metaclasses must now inherit from
+L<Moose::Error::Default>.

+
+=item Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class is_subtype_of behavior
+
+Earlier versions of L<is_subtype_of|Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class/is_subtype_of>
+would incorrectly return true when called with itself, its own TC name or
+its class name as an argument. (i.e. $foo_tc->is_subtype_of('Foo') == 1) This
+behavior was a caused by C<isa> being checked before the class name. The old
+behavior can be accessed with L<is_type_of|Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class/is_type_of>

+
+Earlier versions of L<Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code> created
+read-only accessors for the attributes it's been applied to, even if you didn't
+ask for it with C<< is => 'ro' >>. This incorrect behaviour has now been fixed.

+behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp result in an error.

+=over 4
+
+=item Moose::Util::MetaRole API has changed
+
+The C<apply_metaclass_roles> function is now called C<apply_metaroles>. The
+way arguments are supplied has been changed to force you to distinguish
+between metaroles applied to L<Moose::Meta::Class> (and helpers) versus
+L<Moose::Meta::Role>.
+
+The old API still works, but will warn in a future release, and eventually be
+removed.
+
+=item Moose::Meta::Role has real attributes
+
+The attributes returned by L<Moose::Meta::Role> are now instances of the
+L<Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute> class, instead of bare hash references.
+
+=item "no Moose" now removes C<blessed> and C<confess>
+
+Moose is now smart enough to know exactly what it exported, even when it
+re-exports functions from other packages. When you unimport Moose, it will
+remove these functions from your namespace unless you I<also> imported them
+directly from their respective packages.
+
+If you have a C<no Moose> in your code I<before> you call C<blessed> or
+C<confess>, your code will break. You can either move the C<no Moose> call
+later in your code, or explicitly import the relevant functions from the
+packages that provide them.
+
+=item L<Moose::Exporter> is smarter about unimporting re-exports
+
+The change above comes from a general improvement to L<Moose::Exporter>. It
+will now unimport any function it exports, even if that function is a
+re-export from another package.
+
+=item Attributes in roles can no longer override class attributes with "+foo"
+
+Previously, this worked more or less accidentally, because role attributes
+weren't objects. This was never documented, but a few MooseX modules took
+advantage of this.
+
+=item The composition_class_roles attribute in L<Moose::Meta::Role> is now a method
+
+This was done to make it possible for roles to alter the the list of
+composition class roles by applying a method modifiers. Previously, this was
+an attribute and MooseX modules override it. Since that no longer works, this
+was made a method.
+
+This I<should> be an attribute, so this may switch back to being an attribute
+in the future if we can figure out how to make this work.

+=item Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated
+
+We decided to undeprecate this. Now it just works.
+
+=item Both C<get_method_map> and C<get_attribute_map> is deprecated
+
+These metaclass methods were never meant to be public, and they are both now
+deprecated. The work around if you still need the functionality they provided
+is to iterate over the list of names manually.
+
+ my %fields = map { $_ => $meta->get_attribute($_) } $meta->get_attribute_list;
+
+This was actually a change in L<Class::MOP>, but this version of Moose
+requires a version of L<Class::MOP> that includes said change.

+=over 4
+
+=item Added Native delegation for Code refs
+
+See L<Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code> for details.
+
+=item Calling $object->new() is deprecated
+
+Moose has long supported this, but it's never really been documented, and we
+don't think this is a good practice. If you want to construct an object from
+an existing object, you should provide some sort of alternate constructor like
+C<< $object->clone >>.
+
+Calling C<< $object->new >> now issues a warning, and will be an error in a
+future release.
+
+=item Moose no longer warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with 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.
+

=over 4
In particular, we now have C<reduce>, C<shuffle>, C<uniq>, and C<natatime>.
+=item The Moose::Exporter with_caller feature is now deprecated
+
+Use C<with_meta> instead. The C<with_caller> option will start warning in a
+future release.
+
+=item Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable ancestors
+
+This is dangerous because modifying a class after a subclass has been
+immutabilized will lead to incorrect results in the subclass, due to inlining,
+caching, etc. This occasionally happens accidentally, when a class loads one
+of its subclasses in the middle of its class definition, so pointing out that
+this may cause issues should be helpful. Metaclasses (classes that inherit
+from L<Class::MOP::Object>) are currently exempt from this check, since at the
+moment we aren't very consistent about which metaclasses we immutabilize.
+
+=item C<enum> and C<duck_type> now take arrayrefs for all forms
+
+Previously, calling these functions with a list would take the first element of
+the list as the type constraint name, and use the remainder as the enum values
+or method names. This makes the interface inconsistent with the anon-type forms
+of these functions (which must take an arrayref), and a free-form list where
+the first value is sometimes special is hard to validate (and harder to give
+reasonable error messages for). These functions have been changed to take
+arrayrefs in all their forms - so, C<< enum 'My::Type' => [qw(foo bar)] >> is
+now the preferred way to create an enum type constraint. The old syntax still
+works for now, but it will hopefully be deprecated and removed in a future
+release.

-=head1 Version 0.62_02
+=head1 0.62_02
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
If you want to get rid of the warning, pass C<< inline_constructor =>
0 >>.
-=head1 Version 0.62
+=head1 0.62
Removed the (deprecated) C<make_immutable> keyword.
(C<handles>) methods installed for that attribute. This is correct
behavior, but if you were wrongly relying on it you might get bit.
-=head1 Version 0.58
+=head1 0.58
Roles now add methods by calling C<add_method>, not
C<alias_method>. They make sure to always provide a method object,
you have also explicitly imported those functions for your own use, so
we err on the safe side and always keep them.
-=head1 Version 0.56
+=head1 0.56
C<Moose::init_meta> should now be called as a method.
New modules for extension writers, L<Moose::Exporter> and
L<Moose::Util::MetaRole>.
-=head1 Version 0.55_01
+=head1 0.55_01
Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
easier.
-=head1 Version 0.55
+=head1 0.55
Fixed C<coerce> to accept anon types just like C<subtype> can.
So that you can do:
coerce $some_anon_type => from 'Str' => via { ... };
-=head1 Version 0.51
+=head1 0.51
Added C<BUILDARGS>, a new step in C<< Moose::Object->new() >>.
-=head1 Version 0.49
+=head1 0.49
Fixed how the C<< is => (ro|rw) >> works with custom defined
C<reader>, C<writer> and C<accessor> options. See the below table for
is => rw, accessor => _foo # turns into (accessor => _foo)
is => ro, accessor => _foo # error, accesor is rw
-=head1 Version 0.45
+=head1 0.45
The C<before/around/after> method modifiers now support regexp
matching of method names. NOTE: this only works for classes, it is
Subtypes of parameterizable types now are parameterizable types
themselves.
-=head1 Version 0.44
+=head1 0.44
Fixed issue where C<DEMOLISHALL> was eating the value in C<$@>, and so
not working correctly. It still kind of eats them, but so does vanilla
perl.
-=head1 Version 0.41
+=head1 0.41
Inherited attributes may now be extended without restriction on the
type ('isa', 'does').
refactored in this release. If you were relying on their internals you
should test your code carefully.
-=head1 Version 0.40
+=head1 0.40
Documenting the use of '+name' with attributes that come from recently
composed roles. It makes sense, people are using it, and so why not
It is now possible to make anonymous enum types by passing C<enum> an
array reference instead of the C<< enum $name => @values >>.
-=head1 Version 0.37
+=head1 0.37
Added the C<make_immutable> keyword as a shortcut to calling
C<make_immutable> on the meta object. This eventually got removed!
Type errors now use the provided message. Prior to this release they
didn't.
-=head1 Version 0.34
+=head1 0.34
Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
Passing a list of values to an accessor (which is only expecting one
value) used to be silently ignored, now it throws an error.
-=head1 Version 0.26
+=head1 0.26
Added parameterized types and did a pretty heavy refactoring of the
type constraint system.
-Better framework extendability and better support for "making your own
+Better framework extensibility and better support for "making your own
Moose".
-=head1 Version 0.25 or before
+=head1 0.25 or before
Honestly, you shouldn't be using versions of Moose that are this old,
so many bug fixes and speed improvements have been made you would be
Also, I am tired of going through the Changelog so I am stopping here,
if anyone would like to continue this please feel free.
