1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
9 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
10 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
11 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
12 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
17 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
18 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
19 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
20 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
22 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
23 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
24 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
26 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
27 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
28 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
29 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
31 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
35 * Minor documentation fixes.
37 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
40 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
44 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
45 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
47 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
51 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
53 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
57 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
59 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
62 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
66 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
68 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
69 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
73 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
74 more values were required. (rjbs)
76 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
80 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
81 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
85 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
86 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
87 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
88 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
90 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
91 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
92 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
94 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
95 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
98 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
99 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
100 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
101 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
105 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
106 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
107 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
108 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
111 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
116 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
117 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
119 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
120 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
121 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
123 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
124 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
125 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
127 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
128 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
131 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
132 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
133 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
135 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
136 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
139 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
140 the associated stash. (doy)
144 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
145 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
146 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
147 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
149 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
153 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
154 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
155 the attribute's reference.
159 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
160 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
165 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
166 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
167 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
170 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
171 the Object constraint).
173 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
177 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
178 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
183 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
185 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
189 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
192 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
194 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
198 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
200 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
204 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
207 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
208 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
209 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
211 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
214 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
218 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
220 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
224 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
226 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
230 * Include changes from 2.0010.
232 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
236 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
237 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
241 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
242 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
243 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
248 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
250 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
254 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
255 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
257 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
261 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
263 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
267 * Various packaging issues.
269 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
273 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
274 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
279 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
280 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
281 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
285 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
286 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
287 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
289 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
293 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
294 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
296 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
300 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
301 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
303 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
306 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
307 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
311 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
312 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
314 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
318 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
319 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
323 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
325 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
329 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
331 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
335 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
336 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
338 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
342 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
344 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
348 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
350 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
351 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
353 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
357 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
358 skips every other role. (rjbs)
360 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
361 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
362 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
363 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
364 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
366 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
370 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
371 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
372 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
375 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
380 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
382 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
383 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
385 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
389 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
390 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
391 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
395 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
396 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
398 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
399 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
401 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
402 environments. (doy, mateu)
404 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
408 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
409 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
410 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
411 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
415 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
416 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
418 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
422 * Update conflicts list.
425 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
429 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
430 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
431 details. (Dave Rolsky)
433 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
434 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
435 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
436 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
437 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
441 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
442 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
443 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
444 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
445 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
448 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
452 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
453 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
455 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
458 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
462 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
463 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
464 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
465 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
467 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
468 immutable classes). (mo)
470 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
471 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
472 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
474 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
478 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
480 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
482 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
486 * Fix some indexing issues.
488 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
490 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
494 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
495 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
496 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
497 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
498 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
500 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
501 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
506 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
507 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
508 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
509 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
511 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
512 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
513 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
517 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
518 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
521 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
525 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
526 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
530 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
534 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
535 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
536 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
537 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
540 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
544 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
547 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
551 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
552 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
553 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
556 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
560 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
561 policy. (Chris Prather)
563 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
564 on this new support policy. (doy)
568 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
569 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
570 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
572 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
573 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
575 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
579 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
580 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
581 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
582 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
585 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
589 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
590 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
593 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
597 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
598 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
600 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
601 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
605 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
606 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
607 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
608 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
609 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
610 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
612 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
613 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
615 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
616 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
617 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
618 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
620 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
621 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
623 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
628 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
629 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
631 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
635 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
636 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
637 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
639 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
643 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
644 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
645 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
647 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
648 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
651 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
652 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
655 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
656 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
657 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
659 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
660 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
665 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
666 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
667 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
668 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
670 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
671 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
673 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
674 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
676 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
677 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
678 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
679 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
681 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
682 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
683 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
686 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
687 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
688 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
689 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
691 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
692 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
695 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
696 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
697 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
699 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
703 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
704 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
705 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
707 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
708 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
709 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
712 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
713 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
714 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
716 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
717 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
718 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
720 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
721 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
725 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
726 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
727 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
729 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
730 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
731 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
732 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
734 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
738 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
739 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
740 value is a reference.
742 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
743 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
745 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
749 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
750 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
751 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
753 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
757 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
758 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
762 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
763 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
764 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
766 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
767 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
768 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
770 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
774 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
776 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
780 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
782 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
783 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
788 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
789 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
791 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
792 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
793 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
794 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
795 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
797 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
798 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
799 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
800 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
802 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
806 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
807 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
812 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
814 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
816 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
821 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
823 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
827 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
828 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
829 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
831 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
832 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
833 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
834 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
836 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
837 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
838 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
839 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
840 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
843 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
848 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
849 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
850 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
851 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
852 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
855 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
859 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
862 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
863 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
867 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
868 function (not just method). (doy)
872 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
873 and aren't easily installable/testable.
875 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
879 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
880 to be overridden more easily (doy).
882 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
886 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
887 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
889 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
893 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
894 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
895 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
897 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
901 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
902 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
903 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
905 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
906 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
910 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
911 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
913 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
914 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
918 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
919 is applied to a class (t0m).
921 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
922 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
924 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
927 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
928 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
930 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
931 be much more robust. (doy)
933 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
935 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
938 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
942 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
943 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
945 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
949 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
950 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
952 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
955 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
956 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
957 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
959 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
960 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
961 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
964 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
966 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
970 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
971 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
975 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
977 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
982 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
986 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
987 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
991 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
993 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
997 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
998 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1002 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1003 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1007 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1008 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1010 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1014 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1015 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1016 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1019 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1023 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1024 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1025 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1026 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1028 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1032 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1033 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1034 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1038 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1039 (Michael G. Schwern)
1041 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1046 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1047 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1051 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1052 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1054 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1055 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1056 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1057 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1059 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1063 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1067 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1068 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1070 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1071 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1072 - Moose::Util::does_role
1073 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1074 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1075 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1077 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1081 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1082 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1083 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1086 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1090 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1091 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1094 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1098 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1099 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1102 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1106 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1108 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1109 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1111 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1112 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1113 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1115 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1116 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1117 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1120 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1121 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1124 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1125 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1127 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1129 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1130 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1132 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1134 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1137 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1138 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1140 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1141 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1143 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1144 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1145 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1146 dependencies installed.
1148 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1149 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1152 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1154 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1158 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1161 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1162 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1165 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1166 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1168 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1169 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1172 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1173 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1174 others. (nothingmuch)
1176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1177 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1178 remove_accessors. (doy)
1180 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1181 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1182 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1185 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1187 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1189 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1190 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1192 * Moose::Meta::Class
1193 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1194 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1197 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1199 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1201 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1202 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1205 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1206 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1207 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1208 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1209 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1211 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1214 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1215 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1216 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1217 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1220 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1221 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1222 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1223 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1224 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1226 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1227 which were not receiving the value of
1228 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1229 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1230 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1231 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1235 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1236 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1237 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1238 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1239 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1243 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1244 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1245 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1247 * Moose::Meta::Class
1248 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1249 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1250 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1253 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1255 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1258 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1259 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1262 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1263 class if you pass it options for
1264 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1265 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1266 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1267 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1268 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1269 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1270 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1271 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1272 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1274 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1275 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1276 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1277 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1278 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1281 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1283 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1284 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1287 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1288 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1289 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1290 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1291 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1294 * Moose::Error::Croak
1295 * Moose::Error::Confess
1296 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1297 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1300 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1303 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1304 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1305 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class
1308 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1311 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1312 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1313 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1316 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1317 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1318 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1319 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1321 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1322 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1325 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1327 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1328 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1331 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1332 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1335 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1336 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1337 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1340 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1341 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1342 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1343 using it for new code!
1345 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1346 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1347 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1348 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1350 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1351 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1352 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1353 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1354 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1355 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1356 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1357 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1360 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1363 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1364 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1367 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1368 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1370 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1371 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1372 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1374 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1376 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1377 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1379 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1380 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1381 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1384 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1385 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1388 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1390 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1391 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1392 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1393 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1395 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1397 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1401 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1402 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1404 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1405 associated_methods. (hdp)
1406 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1407 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1408 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1409 misspelled) arguments
1411 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1412 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1413 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1414 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1416 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1417 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1418 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1420 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1423 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1424 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1425 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1428 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1429 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1431 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1432 * Moose::Meta::Class
1433 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1434 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1436 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1437 * Moose::Manual::Types
1438 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1439 string parsing rathole (mst)
1441 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1442 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1443 using plain objects instead
1445 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1446 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1447 that's what we need.
1449 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1450 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1451 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1452 three times today (perigrin)
1453 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1454 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1457 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1458 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1459 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1462 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1463 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1464 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1465 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1466 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1467 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1470 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1471 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1472 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1473 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1476 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1478 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1481 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1483 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1486 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1487 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1488 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1492 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1493 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1496 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1497 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1499 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1500 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1501 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1503 * Moose::Unsweetened
1504 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1506 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1507 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1510 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1514 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1515 methods during global destruction (doy)
1517 * Moose::Meta::Class
1518 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1519 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1520 consumption (Sartak)
1522 * Moose::Meta::Class
1523 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1524 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1527 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1528 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1531 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1532 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1534 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1536 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1540 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1541 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1542 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1545 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1546 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1547 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1550 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1552 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1554 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1557 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1558 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1559 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1560 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1562 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1563 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1564 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1567 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1570 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1571 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1572 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1576 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1577 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1579 * Moose::Meta::Class
1580 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1582 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1584 * Moose::Meta::Class
1585 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1586 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1589 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1590 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1593 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1594 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1597 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1600 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1603 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1606 * Moose::Meta::Class
1607 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1610 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1613 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1614 * More deprecations and renamings
1615 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1616 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1617 when an object is constructed)
1620 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1621 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1622 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1625 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1626 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1627 feature, and it works again.
1630 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1632 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1634 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1635 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1636 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1638 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1639 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1640 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1641 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1642 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1645 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1646 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1647 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1648 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1651 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1652 metaclass object. (hdp)
1654 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1656 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1657 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1658 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1659 point out this fact. (hdp)
1661 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1662 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1664 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1665 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1667 * Moose::Meta::Class
1668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1669 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1670 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1671 called during instance construction were passed the
1672 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1673 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1675 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1676 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1679 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1680 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1681 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1684 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1685 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1686 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1687 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1688 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1690 - Moose::Meta::Class
1691 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1693 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1694 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1695 when an object is constructed)
1696 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1698 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1699 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1700 when an object is constructed)
1701 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1702 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1703 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1706 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1708 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1709 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1711 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1713 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1714 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1715 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1718 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1719 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1721 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1723 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1724 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1726 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1727 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1730 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1731 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1734 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1735 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1736 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1739 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1743 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1744 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1745 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1747 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1748 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1751 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1752 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1753 with recommended workarounds.
1755 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1756 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1759 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1760 (yes, spelled like that).
1762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1763 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1765 * Moose::Meta::Class
1766 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1767 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1769 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1772 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1773 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1774 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1775 instead. Reported by doy.
1777 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1779 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1780 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1783 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1784 message) is now deprecated.
1785 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1786 often got it wrong. For example:
1788 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1790 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1794 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1795 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1796 bite you in weird cases.
1798 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1799 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1800 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1801 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1804 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1808 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1811 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1812 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1815 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1816 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1819 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1822 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1823 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1824 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1825 - added tests for this (stevan)
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1828 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1829 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1830 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1834 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1835 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1836 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1837 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1839 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1840 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1841 - added tests for this (rafl)
1843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1844 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1845 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1846 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1850 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1851 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1854 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1855 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1856 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1858 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1860 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1861 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1863 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1864 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1865 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1866 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1867 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1870 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1871 error message did not specify the attribute name
1874 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1876 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1878 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1879 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1880 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1883 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1886 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1888 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1889 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1890 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1891 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1893 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1895 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1896 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1897 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1898 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1900 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1901 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1902 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1905 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1906 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1907 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1908 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1910 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1911 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1912 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1913 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1914 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1916 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1917 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1918 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1919 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1920 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1921 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1923 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1924 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1925 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1926 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1927 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1928 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1931 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1933 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1934 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1935 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1936 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1938 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1939 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1942 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1946 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1947 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1949 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1950 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1951 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1952 guts. (nothingmuch).
1954 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1956 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1958 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1959 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1960 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1961 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1963 * Moose::Meta::Class
1964 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1967 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1968 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1970 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1971 * Moose::Unsweetened
1972 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1975 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1976 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1977 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1978 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1979 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1980 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1982 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1983 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1984 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1985 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1986 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1987 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1988 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1989 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1990 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1991 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1993 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1995 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1996 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1999 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2000 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2001 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2003 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2004 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2005 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2006 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2007 same methods for a single role did not work
2008 right (worked just fine with multiple
2010 - added test for this (stevan)
2012 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2013 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2014 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2017 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2018 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2019 - added test for this (t0m)
2022 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2023 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2024 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2027 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2028 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2029 - added test for this (t0m)
2031 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2032 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2033 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2034 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2035 - added test for this (perigrin)
2038 - create method for constructing a role
2039 dynamically (Sartak)
2040 - added test for this (Sartak)
2041 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2042 - added test for this (Sartak)
2045 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2047 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2048 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2049 methods is useful (Sartak)
2051 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2053 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2056 * Moose::Meta::Class
2057 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2058 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2059 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2060 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2061 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2062 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2065 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2066 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2068 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2069 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2070 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2071 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2072 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2074 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2076 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2077 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2078 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2081 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2082 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2083 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2084 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2085 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2086 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2089 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2090 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2091 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2092 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2093 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2094 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2095 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2096 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2097 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2098 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2099 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2101 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2102 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2105 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2106 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2107 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2108 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2109 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2111 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2113 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2114 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2115 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2118 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2121 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2122 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2123 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2126 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2127 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2129 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2131 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2132 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2134 * Moose::Meta::Class
2135 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2136 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2137 a required attribute
2139 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2140 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2141 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2142 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2145 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2147 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2148 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2149 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2150 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2151 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2152 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2153 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2154 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2156 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2157 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2158 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2160 * Roles and role application
2161 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2162 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2163 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2164 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2165 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2167 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2168 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2171 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2172 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2173 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2174 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2175 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2178 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2179 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2180 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2181 changes in the Moose internals.
2183 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2185 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2188 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2189 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2190 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2191 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2194 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2195 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2196 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2199 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2200 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2201 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2202 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2203 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2204 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2205 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2206 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2207 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2208 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2209 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2210 constraint implementations.
2212 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2216 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2217 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2218 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2219 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2220 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2221 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2222 - added tests for this (rafl)
2224 * Moose::Meta::Class
2225 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2226 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2227 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2228 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2229 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2230 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2231 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2232 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2235 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2236 - added tests for this (thepler)
2238 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2239 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2240 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2241 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2244 * Moose::Meta::Class
2245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2246 * Moose::Meta::Method
2249 * Moose::Error::Default
2250 * Moose::Error::Croak
2251 * Moose::Error::Confess
2252 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2253 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2254 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2255 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2256 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2257 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2259 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2261 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2262 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2264 * Moose::Unsweetened
2265 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2266 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2267 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2270 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2271 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2272 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2273 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2276 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2277 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2279 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2280 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2281 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2282 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2285 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2287 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2288 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2290 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2293 - Various bug fixes.
2295 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2296 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2298 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2300 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2301 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2302 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2303 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2304 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2305 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2307 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2308 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2309 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2311 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2312 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2313 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2316 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2317 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2318 dependency to 0.64_07.
2320 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2321 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2322 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2324 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2325 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2329 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2330 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2331 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2332 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2333 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2335 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2336 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2338 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2340 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2341 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2345 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2346 method when that method was provided by another role being
2347 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2348 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2350 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2352 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2353 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2355 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2356 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2357 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2358 - added test for this (t0m)
2360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2361 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2362 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2364 - added test for this (t0m)
2367 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2368 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2369 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2372 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2373 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2375 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2377 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2378 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2380 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2381 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2382 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2384 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2385 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2388 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2389 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2390 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2391 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2395 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2396 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2397 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2400 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2401 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2402 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2403 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2406 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2410 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2411 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2412 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2414 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2416 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2417 created so that the process can be more easily
2418 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2421 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2422 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2423 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2425 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2426 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2429 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2430 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2432 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2433 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2434 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2436 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2437 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2438 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2440 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2441 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2443 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2444 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2447 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2448 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2452 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2453 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2455 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2456 ... this is not my day today ...
2458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2459 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2460 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2461 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2462 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2465 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2466 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2467 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2468 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2469 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2472 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2474 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2475 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2476 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2477 this is not ever something you want to do
2478 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2479 - added tests for this (stevan)
2482 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2484 - added test for this
2486 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2487 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2488 - added tests for this (wreis)
2490 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2491 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2492 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2493 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2495 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2496 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2497 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2500 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2502 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2504 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2507 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2508 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2509 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2510 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2511 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2512 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2513 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2514 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2515 - added tests for this
2517 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2518 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2519 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2520 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2522 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2525 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2526 - added tests for this (sartak)
2527 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2528 install_delegation method (Stevan)

2537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2538 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2539 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2541 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2543 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2544 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2553 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2555 - added docs for this (TODO).
2556 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2557 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2558 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

2576 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2577 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2578 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2580 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2581 - move the ClassName type check code to
2582 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2584 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2585 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2587 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2588 (early morning release engineering)--
2590 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2591 which was causing the indexer to choke
2593 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2594 (late night release engineering)--
2596 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2597 changes in this release
2599 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2600 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2601 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2603 * Moose::Meta::Class
2604 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2605 since it is called so often by &meta
2607 * Moose::Meta::Class
2609 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2610 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2613 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2614 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2615 method for immutablization to check if the
2616 destructor object even needs to be created
2619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2620 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2621 - added more descriptive error message to help
2622 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2623 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2625 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2627 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2628 XS based functionality is now optional
2629 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2630 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2631 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2633 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2634 to take care of this, mostly we added
2635 support for the package_name and name
2636 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2637 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2638 support regexp matching of names
2639 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2640 - tests added for this
2641 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2642 is currently not supported in roles,
2643 but, ... patches welcome
2644 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2645 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2646 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2649 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2650 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2651 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2652 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2653 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2654 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2655 - added test for this
2657 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2658 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2659 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2662 * Moose::Meta::Class
2663 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2667 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2669 - added tests for this
2670 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2671 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2673 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2674 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2675 themselves parameterizable types
2677 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2678 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2679 called by the inlined immutable
2681 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2683 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2684 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2685 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2686 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2688 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2689 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2693 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2694 causing occasional cpantester failures

2696 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2698 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2700 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2701 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2704 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2705 ->body when looping through the
2706 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2708 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2709 eating the $@ values, and so not
2710 working correctly, it still kind of
2711 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2712 - added tests for this
2714 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2715 - added new recipe for immutable
2716 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2718 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2719 - added new recipe for builder and
2720 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2722 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2723 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2724 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2727 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2729 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2730 since Module::Install has done that.
2732 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2734 drink more coffee before
2735 doing release engineering
2737 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2738 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2739 modules. This fixes that.
2741 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2742 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2743 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2745 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2746 since we have tests which need the C3
2749 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2750 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2752 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2753 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2755 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2756 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2757 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2758 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2764 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2765 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2767 * Moose::Meta::Class
2768 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2769 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2771 - added test for this
2773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2774 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2775 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2776 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2777 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2778 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2780 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2781 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2784 Moose::Meta::Method::Augmented
2785 - moved the logic for these into their own
2786 classes (nothingmuch)
2788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2852 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2854 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2855 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2898 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2899 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3145 - added tests for this
3148 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3149 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3192 when they encounter overriden or modified
3193 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3194 - added tests for this
3196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3204 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3207 * Parameterized Types
3208 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3209 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3210 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3211 They can also be nested:
3212 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3213 And work with the type unions as well:
3214 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3216 * Better Framework Extendability
3217 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3218 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3219 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3220 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3223 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3224 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3225 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3226 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3457 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3459 - added tests and docs for this
3460 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3461 so that you can actually document your
3462 attributes and inspect them through the
3464 - added tests and docs for this
3466 * Moose::Meta::Class
3467 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3468 it will first look in for the class in the
3469 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3470 then default to just loading $name.
3471 - added tests and docs for this
3473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3474 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3475 - added test for this
3478 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3479 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3480 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3481 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3483 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3484 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3487 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3489 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3490 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3491 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3494 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3495 !! for this developer release to work !!
3497 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3498 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3499 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3500 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3501 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3502 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3503 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3504 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3505 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3506 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3507 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3509 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3510 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3511 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3512 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3515 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3517 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3518 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3519 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3521 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3523 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3524 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3527 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3528 called unless they actually need to be.
3529 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3530 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3531 DEMOLISH method present.
3533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3534 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3535 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3536 type constraint, which allows for a
3537 hand optimized version of the type
3538 constraint to be used when possible.
3539 - Any internally created type constraints
3540 now provide an optimized version as well.
3542 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3544 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3545 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3546 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3548 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3549 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3550 your class namespace of these exported
3553 * Moose::Meta::Class
3554 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3555 comes up during global destruction
3557 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3561 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3565 - changed how we do type checks so that
3566 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3569 - moved accessor generation methods to
3570 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3571 conform to the API changes from
3574 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3575 - changed how constraints are compiled
3576 so that we do less recursion and more
3577 iteration. This makes the type check
3579 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3583 - created this from methods formerly found in
3584 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3586 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3587 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3590 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3592 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3593 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3595 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3598 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3599 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3600 - added tests for this
3601 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3602 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3603 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3604 - removed tests for this
3606 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3608 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3609 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3610 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3613 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3614 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3615 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3617 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3618 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3619 comments for more info.
3622 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3623 asked questions and common problems
3625 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3626 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3627 - added tests for this
3629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3630 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3631 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3632 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3634 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3635 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3638 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3639 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3640 is much appreciated :)
3641 - added tests for this
3643 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3644 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3645 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3648 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3649 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3651 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3653 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3654 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3658 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3659 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3660 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3662 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3664 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3667 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3668 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3669 keywords because we need to localize them.
3670 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3672 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3673 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3674 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3677 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3680 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3681 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3682 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3685 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3686 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3687 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3689 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3691 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3692 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3693 bottom of your class file.
3696 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3699 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3701 - improved error message when loading modules so
3702 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3703 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3704 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3707 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3708 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3709 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3711 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3712 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3714 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3715 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3716 turn them on for you.
3717 - added tests for this
3718 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3719 in Moose::Meta::Class
3722 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3723 automatically turned on for you.

3746 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3747 - This release works in combination with
3748 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3749 release because it uses the a new
3750 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3751 complete Role implementation. It has
3752 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3753 the the previous CPAN version. This
3754 release also lacks good updated docs,
3755 the official release will have updated docs.
3758 - refactored the keyword exports
3759 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3760 accepts more than one Role at a time
3761 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3762 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3765 - refactored the keyword exports
3766 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3767 accepts more than one Role at a time
3769 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3770 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3771 string enumerations which can be used as
3773 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3776 - more careful checking of params to new()
3779 - much work done on the role composition
3780 - many new tests for conflict detection
3781 and composition edge cases
3782 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3783 looking at the tests
3785 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3786 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3787 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3789 * Moose::Meta::Class
3790 - some small changes to support the new
3792 - some small additions to support Roles
3794 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3795 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3797 - some small changes to support the new
3799 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3800 with the 'handles' option
3801 - added several tests for this
3802 - no docs for this yet
3804 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3806 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3807 thanks to chansen for this commit
3808 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3809 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3810 on a per-attribute basis
3811 - added tests for this
3812 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3813 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3814 experimental feature and probably not finished

3816 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3817 - added tests for this

3879 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3881 - added test for this
3884 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
