6 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
10 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
12 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
16 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
18 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
21 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
25 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
27 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
28 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
32 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
33 more values were required. (rjbs)
35 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
39 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
40 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
44 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
45 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
46 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
47 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
49 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
50 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
51 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
53 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
54 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
57 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
58 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
59 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
60 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
64 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
65 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
66 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
67 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
70 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
74 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
75 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
78 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
79 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
82 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
83 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
84 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
86 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
87 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
90 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
91 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
92 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
94 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
95 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
98 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
99 the associated stash. (doy)
103 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
104 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
105 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
106 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
108 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
112 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
113 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
114 the attribute's reference.
118 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
119 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
124 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
125 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
126 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
129 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
130 the Object constraint).
132 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
136 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
137 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
142 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
144 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
148 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
151 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
153 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
157 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
159 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
163 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
166 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
167 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
168 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
170 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
173 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
177 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
179 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
183 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
185 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
189 * Include changes from 2.0010.
191 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
195 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
196 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
200 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
201 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
202 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
207 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
209 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
213 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
214 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
216 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
220 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
222 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
226 * Various packaging issues.
228 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
232 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
233 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
238 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
239 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
240 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
244 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
245 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
246 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
248 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
252 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
253 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
255 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
259 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
260 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
262 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
265 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
266 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
270 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
271 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
273 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
277 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
278 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
282 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
284 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
288 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
290 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
294 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
295 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
297 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
301 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
303 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
307 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
309 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
310 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
312 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
316 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
317 skips every other role. (rjbs)
319 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
320 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
321 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
322 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
323 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
325 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
329 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
330 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
331 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
334 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
339 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
341 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
342 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
344 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
348 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
349 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
350 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
354 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
355 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
357 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
358 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
360 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
361 environments. (doy, mateu)
363 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
367 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
368 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
369 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
370 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
374 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
375 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
377 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
381 * Update conflicts list.
384 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
388 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
389 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
390 details. (Dave Rolsky)
392 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
393 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
394 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
395 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
396 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
400 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
401 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
402 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
403 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
404 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
407 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
411 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
412 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
414 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
417 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
421 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
422 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
423 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
424 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
426 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
427 immutable classes). (mo)
429 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
430 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
431 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
433 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
437 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
439 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
441 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
445 * Fix some indexing issues.
447 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
449 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
453 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
454 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
455 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
456 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
457 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
459 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
460 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
465 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
466 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
467 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
468 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
470 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
471 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
472 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
476 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
477 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
480 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
484 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
485 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
489 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
493 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
494 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
495 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
496 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
499 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
503 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
506 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
510 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
511 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
512 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
515 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
519 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
520 policy. (Chris Prather)
522 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
523 on this new support policy. (doy)
527 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
528 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
529 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
531 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
532 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
534 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
538 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
539 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
540 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
541 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
544 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
548 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
549 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
552 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
556 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
557 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
559 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
560 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
564 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
565 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
566 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
567 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
568 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
569 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
571 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
572 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
574 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
575 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
576 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
577 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
579 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
580 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
582 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
587 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
588 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
590 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
594 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
595 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
596 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
598 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
602 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
603 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
604 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
606 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
607 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
610 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
611 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
614 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
615 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
616 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
618 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
619 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
624 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
625 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
626 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
627 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
629 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
630 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
632 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
633 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
635 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
636 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
637 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
638 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
640 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
641 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
642 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
645 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
646 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
647 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
648 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
650 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
651 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
654 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
655 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
656 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
658 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
662 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
663 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
664 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
666 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
667 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
668 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
671 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
672 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
673 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
675 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
676 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
677 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
679 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
680 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
684 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
685 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
686 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
688 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
689 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
690 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
691 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
693 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
697 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
698 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
699 value is a reference.
701 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
702 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
704 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
708 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
709 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
710 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
712 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
716 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
717 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
721 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
722 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
723 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
725 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
726 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
727 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
729 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
733 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
735 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
739 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
741 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
742 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
747 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
748 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
750 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
751 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
752 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
753 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
754 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
756 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
757 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
758 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
759 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
761 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
765 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
766 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
771 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
773 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
775 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
780 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
782 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
786 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
787 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
788 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
790 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
791 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
792 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
793 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
795 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
796 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
797 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
798 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
799 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
802 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
807 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
808 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
809 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
810 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
811 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
814 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
818 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
821 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
822 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
826 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
827 function (not just method). (doy)
831 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
832 and aren't easily installable/testable.
834 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
838 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
839 to be overridden more easily (doy).
841 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
845 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
846 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
848 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
852 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
853 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
854 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
856 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
860 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
861 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
862 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
864 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
865 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
869 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
870 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
872 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
873 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
877 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
878 is applied to a class (t0m).
880 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
881 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
883 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
886 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
887 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
889 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
890 be much more robust. (doy)
892 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
894 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
897 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
901 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
902 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
904 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
908 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
909 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
911 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
914 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
915 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
916 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
918 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
919 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
920 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
923 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
925 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
929 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
930 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
934 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
936 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
941 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
945 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
946 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
950 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
952 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
956 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
957 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
961 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
962 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
966 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
967 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
969 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
973 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
974 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
975 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
978 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
982 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
983 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
984 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
985 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
987 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
991 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
992 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
993 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
997 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1000 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1004 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1005 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1006 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1010 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1011 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1013 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1014 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1015 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1016 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1018 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1022 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1026 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1027 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1029 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1030 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1031 - Moose::Util::does_role
1032 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1033 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1034 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1036 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1040 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1041 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1042 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1045 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1049 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1050 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1053 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1057 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1058 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1061 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1065 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1067 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1068 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1070 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1071 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1072 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1074 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1075 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1076 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1079 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1080 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1082 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1083 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1084 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1086 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1088 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1089 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1091 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1093 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1096 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1097 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1099 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1100 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1102 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1103 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1104 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1105 dependencies installed.
1107 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1108 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1111 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1113 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1117 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1120 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1121 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1123 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1124 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1125 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1127 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1128 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1131 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1132 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1133 others. (nothingmuch)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1136 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1137 remove_accessors. (doy)
1139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1140 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1141 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1144 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1146 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1147 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1148 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1149 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1151 * Moose::Meta::Class
1152 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1153 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1156 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1158 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1160 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1161 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1165 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1166 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1167 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1168 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1170 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1171 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1173 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1174 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1175 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1176 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1179 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1180 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1181 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1182 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1183 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1185 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1186 which were not receiving the value of
1187 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1188 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1189 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1190 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1194 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1195 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1196 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1197 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1198 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1201 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1202 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1203 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1204 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1206 * Moose::Meta::Class
1207 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1208 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1209 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1212 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1214 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1217 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1218 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1221 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1222 class if you pass it options for
1223 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1224 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1225 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1226 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1227 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1228 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1229 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1230 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1231 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1233 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1234 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1235 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1236 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1237 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1240 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1241 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1242 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1243 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1246 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1247 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1248 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1249 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1250 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1253 * Moose::Error::Croak
1254 * Moose::Error::Confess
1255 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1256 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1259 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1262 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1263 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1264 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Class
1267 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1270 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1271 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1272 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1274 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1275 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1276 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1277 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1278 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1280 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1281 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1284 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1286 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1287 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1290 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1291 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1295 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1296 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1299 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1300 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1301 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1302 using it for new code!
1304 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1305 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1306 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1307 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1309 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1310 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1311 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1312 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1313 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1314 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1315 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1316 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1319 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1322 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1323 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1327 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1330 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1331 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1333 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1334 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1335 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1336 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1338 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1339 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1340 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1342 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1343 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1344 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1347 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1349 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1350 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1351 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1352 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1354 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1356 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1359 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1360 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1361 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1363 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1364 associated_methods. (hdp)
1365 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1366 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1367 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1368 misspelled) arguments
1370 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1371 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1372 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1373 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1375 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1376 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1377 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1379 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1382 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1383 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1384 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1387 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1388 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1390 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1391 * Moose::Meta::Class
1392 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1393 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1395 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1396 * Moose::Manual::Types
1397 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1398 string parsing rathole (mst)
1400 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1401 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1402 using plain objects instead
1404 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1405 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1406 that's what we need.
1408 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1409 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1410 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1411 three times today (perigrin)
1412 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1413 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1416 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1417 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1418 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1421 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1422 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1423 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1424 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1425 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1426 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1429 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1430 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1431 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1432 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1435 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1437 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1440 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1442 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1445 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1446 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1447 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1451 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1452 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1455 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1456 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1458 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1459 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1460 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1462 * Moose::Unsweetened
1463 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1465 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1466 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1469 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1473 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1474 methods during global destruction (doy)
1476 * Moose::Meta::Class
1477 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1478 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1479 consumption (Sartak)
1481 * Moose::Meta::Class
1482 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1483 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1486 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1487 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1490 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1491 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1493 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1495 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1499 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1500 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1501 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1504 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1505 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1506 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1509 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1511 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1513 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1516 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1517 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1518 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1519 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1521 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1522 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1523 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1526 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1529 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1530 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1531 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1535 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1536 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1538 * Moose::Meta::Class
1539 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1541 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1543 * Moose::Meta::Class
1544 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1545 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1548 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1549 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1552 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1553 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1556 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1559 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1561 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1562 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1565 * Moose::Meta::Class
1566 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1568 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1569 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1572 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1573 * More deprecations and renamings
1574 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1575 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1576 when an object is constructed)
1579 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1580 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1581 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1584 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1585 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1586 feature, and it works again.
1589 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1591 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1593 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1594 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1595 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1598 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1599 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1600 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1601 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1604 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1605 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1606 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1607 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1610 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1611 metaclass object. (hdp)
1613 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1614 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1615 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1616 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1617 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1618 point out this fact. (hdp)
1620 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1621 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1623 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1624 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1626 * Moose::Meta::Class
1627 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1628 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1629 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1630 called during instance construction were passed the
1631 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1632 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1634 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1635 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1638 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1639 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1640 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1643 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1644 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1645 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1646 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1647 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1649 - Moose::Meta::Class
1650 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1652 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1653 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1654 when an object is constructed)
1655 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1657 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1658 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1659 when an object is constructed)
1660 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1661 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1662 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1665 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1667 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1668 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1670 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1672 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1673 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1674 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1676 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1677 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1678 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1680 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1682 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1683 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1685 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1686 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1689 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1690 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1693 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1694 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1695 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1697 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1698 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1702 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1703 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1704 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1707 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1710 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1711 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1712 with recommended workarounds.
1714 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1715 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1717 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1718 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1719 (yes, spelled like that).
1721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1722 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1724 * Moose::Meta::Class
1725 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1726 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1728 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1730 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1731 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1732 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1733 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1734 instead. Reported by doy.
1736 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1738 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1739 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1742 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1743 message) is now deprecated.
1744 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1745 often got it wrong. For example:
1747 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1749 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1753 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1754 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1755 bite you in weird cases.
1757 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1758 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1759 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1760 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1762 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1763 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1767 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1770 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1771 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1774 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1775 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1777 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1778 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1781 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1783 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1784 - added tests for this (stevan)
1786 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1787 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1788 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1789 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1793 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1794 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1795 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1796 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1798 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1799 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1800 - added tests for this (rafl)
1802 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1803 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1804 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1805 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1809 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1810 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1813 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1814 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1815 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1817 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1819 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1820 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1822 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1823 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1824 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1825 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1826 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1829 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1830 error message did not specify the attribute name
1833 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1835 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1837 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1838 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1839 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1842 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1845 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1847 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1848 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1849 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1850 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1852 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1854 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1855 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1856 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1857 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1859 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1860 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1861 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1864 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1865 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1866 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1867 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1870 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1871 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1872 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1873 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1876 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1877 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1878 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1879 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1880 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1882 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1883 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1884 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1885 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1886 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1887 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1890 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1892 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1893 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1894 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1895 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1898 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1901 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1905 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1906 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1908 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1909 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1910 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1911 guts. (nothingmuch).
1913 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1914 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1915 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1918 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1919 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1920 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1922 * Moose::Meta::Class
1923 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1926 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1927 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1930 * Moose::Unsweetened
1931 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1934 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1935 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1936 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1937 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1938 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1939 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1942 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1943 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1944 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1945 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1946 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1947 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1948 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1949 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1950 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1952 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1954 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1955 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1957 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1958 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1959 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1960 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1962 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1963 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1964 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1965 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1966 same methods for a single role did not work
1967 right (worked just fine with multiple
1969 - added test for this (stevan)
1971 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1972 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1973 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1976 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1977 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1978 - added test for this (t0m)
1981 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1982 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1983 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1985 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1986 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1987 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1988 - added test for this (t0m)
1990 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1991 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1992 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1993 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1994 - added test for this (perigrin)
1997 - create method for constructing a role
1998 dynamically (Sartak)
1999 - added test for this (Sartak)
2000 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2001 - added test for this (Sartak)
2004 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2006 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2007 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2008 methods is useful (Sartak)
2010 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2012 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2015 * Moose::Meta::Class
2016 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2017 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2018 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2019 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2020 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2021 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2024 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2025 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2027 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2028 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2029 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2030 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2031 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2033 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2035 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2036 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2037 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2040 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2041 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2042 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2043 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2044 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2045 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2048 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2049 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2050 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2051 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2052 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2053 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2054 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2055 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2056 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2057 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2058 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2060 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2061 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2064 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2065 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2066 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2067 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2068 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2070 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2072 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2073 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2074 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2076 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2077 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2079 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2080 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2081 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2082 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2085 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2086 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2088 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2090 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2091 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2093 * Moose::Meta::Class
2094 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2095 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2096 a required attribute
2098 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2099 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2100 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2101 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2103 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2104 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2107 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2108 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2109 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2110 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2111 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2112 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2113 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2115 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2116 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2117 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2119 * Roles and role application
2120 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2121 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2122 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2123 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2124 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2126 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2127 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2130 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2131 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2132 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2133 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2134 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2137 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2138 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2139 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2140 changes in the Moose internals.
2142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2144 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2148 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2149 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2150 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2153 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2154 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2155 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2157 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2158 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2159 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2160 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2161 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2162 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2163 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2164 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2165 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2166 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2167 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2168 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2169 constraint implementations.
2171 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2175 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2176 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2177 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2178 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2179 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2180 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2181 - added tests for this (rafl)
2183 * Moose::Meta::Class
2184 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2185 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2186 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2187 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2188 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2189 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2190 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2191 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2194 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2195 - added tests for this (thepler)
2197 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2198 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2199 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2200 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2203 * Moose::Meta::Class
2204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2205 * Moose::Meta::Method
2208 * Moose::Error::Default
2209 * Moose::Error::Croak
2210 * Moose::Error::Confess
2211 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2212 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2213 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2214 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2215 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2216 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2218 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2220 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2221 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2223 * Moose::Unsweetened
2224 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2225 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2226 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2229 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2230 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2231 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2232 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2235 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2236 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2238 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2239 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2240 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2241 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2244 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2246 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2247 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2249 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2252 - Various bug fixes.
2254 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2255 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

2259 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2260 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2261 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2262 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2263 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2264 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2266 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2267 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2268 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2270 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

2275 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2276 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2277 dependency to 0.64_07.
2279 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2280 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2281 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2283 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2284 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2287 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2288 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2289 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2290 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2291 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2292 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2294 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2295 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2297 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2299 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2300 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2304 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2305 method when that method was provided by another role being
2306 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2307 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2309 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2317 - added test for this (t0m)
2319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2320 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2321 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2323 - added test for this (t0m)
2326 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2327 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2328 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2331 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2332 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2334 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2336 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2337 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2339 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2340 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2341 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2343 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2344 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2347 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2348 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2350 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2354 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2355 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2356 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2365 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2369 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2375 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are

2411 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2412 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2414 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2415 ... this is not my day today ...
2417 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2418 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2419 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2420 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2421 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2424 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2425 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2426 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2427 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2428 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2431 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2433 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2434 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2435 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2436 this is not ever something you want to do
2437 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2438 - added tests for this (stevan)
2441 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2443 - added test for this

2452 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2454 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2455 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2456 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2459 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2461 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2463 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2466 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2467 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2468 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2469 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2470 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2471 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2472 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2473 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2474 - added tests for this
2476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2477 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2478 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2479 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2550 which was causing the indexer to choke
2552 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2553 (late night release engineering)--
2555 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2556 changes in this release

2568 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2569 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2572 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2573 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2574 method for immutablization to check if the
2575 destructor object even needs to be created
2578 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2579 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2580 - added more descriptive error message to help
2581 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2582 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2584 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2586 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2587 XS based functionality is now optional
2588 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2589 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2590 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2592 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2593 to take care of this, mostly we added
2594 support for the package_name and name
2595 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2596 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2597 support regexp matching of names
2598 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2599 - tests added for this
2600 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2601 is currently not supported in roles,
2602 but, ... patches welcome
2603 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2604 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2605 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2608 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2609 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2610 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2611 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2612 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2613 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2614 - added test for this
2616 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2617 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2618 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2621 * Moose::Meta::Class
2622 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2626 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2628 - added tests for this
2629 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2630 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2633 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2634 themselves parameterizable types
2636 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2638 called by the inlined immutable
2640 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2642 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2643 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2644 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2645 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2647 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2648 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2660 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2663 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2664 ->body when looping through the
2665 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2667 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2668 eating the $@ values, and so not
2669 working correctly, it still kind of
2670 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2671 - added tests for this
2673 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2674 - added new recipe for immutable
2675 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2677 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2693 drink more coffee before
2694 doing release engineering
2696 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2697 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2698 modules. This fixes that.

2701 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2702 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2730 - added test for this
2732 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2808 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2809 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2811 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2813 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2814 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2815 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2816 officially support it.
2817 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2818 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2821 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2822 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2853 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2856 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2857 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2858 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2859 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2861 - added more delegation tests
2862 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2863 support traits and their introspection.
2864 - added tests for this

3104 - added tests for this
3107 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3108 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3147 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3150 - fixed how required methods are handled
3151 when they encounter overriden or modified
3152 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3153 - added tests for this
3155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3156 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3157 the | always creates a union and so is
3158 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3159 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3161 - added more tests for this
3163 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3166 * Parameterized Types
3167 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3168 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3169 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3170 They can also be nested:
3171 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3172 And work with the type unions as well:
3173 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3175 * Better Framework Extendability
3176 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3177 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3178 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3179 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3182 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3183 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3184 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3185 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3442 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3443 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3446 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3448 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3449 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3450 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3453 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3454 !! for this developer release to work !!
3456 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3457 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3458 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3459 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3460 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3461 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3462 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3463 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3464 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3465 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3466 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3468 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3469 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3470 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3471 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3474 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3475 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3476 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3477 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3478 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3480 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3482 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3483 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3486 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3487 called unless they actually need to be.
3488 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3489 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3490 DEMOLISH method present.
3492 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3493 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3494 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3495 type constraint, which allows for a
3496 hand optimized version of the type
3497 constraint to be used when possible.
3498 - Any internally created type constraints
3499 now provide an optimized version as well.
3501 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3503 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3504 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3505 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3508 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3509 your class namespace of these exported
3512 * Moose::Meta::Class
3513 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3514 comes up during global destruction
3516 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3520 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3523 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3524 - changed how we do type checks so that
3525 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3528 - moved accessor generation methods to
3529 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3530 conform to the API changes from
3533 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3534 - changed how constraints are compiled
3535 so that we do less recursion and more
3536 iteration. This makes the type check
3538 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3542 - created this from methods formerly found in
3543 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3545 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3546 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3549 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3552 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3554 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3557 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3558 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3559 - added tests for this
3560 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3561 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3562 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3563 - removed tests for this
3565 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3567 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3568 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3569 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3572 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3573 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3574 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3576 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3577 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3578 comments for more info.
3581 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3582 asked questions and common problems
3584 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3585 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3586 - added tests for this
3588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3589 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3590 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3591 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3593 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3594 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3597 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3598 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3599 is much appreciated :)
3600 - added tests for this
3602 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3603 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3604 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3607 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3608 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3610 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3612 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3613 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3617 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3618 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3619 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3621 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3623 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3626 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3627 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3628 keywords because we need to localize them.
3629 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3631 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3632 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3633 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3636 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3639 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3640 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3641 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3644 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3645 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3646 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3648 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3650 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3651 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3652 bottom of your class file.
3655 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3658 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3660 - improved error message when loading modules so
3661 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3662 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3663 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3666 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3667 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3668 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3670 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3671 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3673 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3674 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3675 turn them on for you.
3676 - added tests for this
3677 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3678 in Moose::Meta::Class
3681 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3682 automatically turned on for you.

3686 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3687 - added tests for this

3701 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3704 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3705 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3706 - This release works in combination with
3707 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3708 release because it uses the a new
3709 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3710 complete Role implementation. It has
3711 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3712 the the previous CPAN version. This
3713 release also lacks good updated docs,
3714 the official release will have updated docs.
3717 - refactored the keyword exports
3718 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3719 accepts more than one Role at a time
3720 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3721 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3724 - refactored the keyword exports
3725 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3726 accepts more than one Role at a time
3728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3729 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3730 string enumerations which can be used as
3732 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3735 - more careful checking of params to new()
3738 - much work done on the role composition
3739 - many new tests for conflict detection
3740 and composition edge cases
3741 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3742 looking at the tests
3744 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3745 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3746 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3748 * Moose::Meta::Class
3749 - some small changes to support the new
3751 - some small additions to support Roles
3753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3754 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3756 - some small changes to support the new
3758 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3759 with the 'handles' option
3760 - added several tests for this
3761 - no docs for this yet
3763 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3765 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3766 thanks to chansen for this commit
3767 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3768 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3769 on a per-attribute basis
3770 - added tests for this
3771 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3772 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3773 experimental feature and probably not finished
3774 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3775 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3776 - added tests for this
3779 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3838 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3840 - added test for this
3843 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
