1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
9 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
10 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
11 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
12 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
14 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
18 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
19 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
20 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
22 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
26 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
28 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
32 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
33 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
34 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
37 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
39 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
43 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
45 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
49 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
50 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
54 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
55 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
56 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
57 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
58 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
63 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
64 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
65 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
66 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
68 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
69 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
70 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
72 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
73 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
74 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
75 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
77 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
78 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
79 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
80 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
82 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
83 package which was deleted. (doy)
85 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
89 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
91 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
95 * Minor documentation fixes.
97 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
100 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
104 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
105 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
107 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
111 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
113 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
117 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
119 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
122 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
126 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
128 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
129 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
133 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
134 more values were required. (rjbs)
136 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
140 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
141 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
145 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
146 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
147 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
148 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
150 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
151 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
152 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
154 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
155 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
158 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
159 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
160 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
161 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
165 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
166 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
167 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
168 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
171 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
175 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
176 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
177 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
179 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
180 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
181 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
183 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
184 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
185 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
187 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
188 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
191 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
192 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
193 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
195 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
196 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
199 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
200 the associated stash. (doy)
204 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
205 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
206 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
207 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
209 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
213 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
214 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
215 the attribute's reference.
219 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
220 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
225 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
226 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
227 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
230 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
231 the Object constraint).
233 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
237 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
238 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
243 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
245 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
249 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
252 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
254 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
258 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
260 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
264 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
267 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
268 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
269 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
271 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
274 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
278 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
280 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
284 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
286 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
290 * Include changes from 2.0010.
292 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
296 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
297 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
301 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
302 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
303 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
308 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
310 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
314 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
315 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
317 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
321 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
323 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
327 * Various packaging issues.
329 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
333 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
334 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
339 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
340 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
341 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
345 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
346 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
347 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
349 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
353 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
354 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
356 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
360 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
361 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
363 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
366 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
367 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
371 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
372 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
374 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
378 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
379 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
383 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
385 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
389 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
391 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
395 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
396 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
398 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
402 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
404 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
408 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
410 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
411 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
413 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
417 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
418 skips every other role. (rjbs)
420 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
421 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
422 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
423 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
424 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
426 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
430 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
431 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
432 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
435 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
440 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
442 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
443 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
445 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
449 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
450 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
451 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
455 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
456 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
458 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
459 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
461 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
462 environments. (doy, mateu)
464 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
468 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
469 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
470 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
471 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
475 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
476 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
478 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
482 * Update conflicts list.
485 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
489 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
490 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
491 details. (Dave Rolsky)
493 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
494 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
495 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
496 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
497 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
501 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
502 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
503 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
504 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
505 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
508 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
512 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
513 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
515 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
518 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
522 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
523 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
524 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
525 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
527 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
528 immutable classes). (mo)
530 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
531 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
532 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
534 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
538 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
540 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
542 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
546 * Fix some indexing issues.
548 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
550 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
554 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
555 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
556 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
557 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
558 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
560 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
561 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
566 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
567 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
568 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
569 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
571 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
572 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
573 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
577 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
578 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
581 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
585 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
586 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
590 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
594 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
595 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
596 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
597 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
600 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
604 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
607 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
611 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
612 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
613 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
616 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
620 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
621 policy. (Chris Prather)
623 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
624 on this new support policy. (doy)
628 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
629 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
630 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
632 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
633 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
635 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
639 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
640 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
641 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
642 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
645 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
649 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
650 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
653 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
657 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
658 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
660 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
661 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
665 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
666 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
667 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
668 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
669 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
670 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
672 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
673 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
675 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
676 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
677 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
678 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
680 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
681 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
683 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
688 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
689 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
691 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
695 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
696 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
697 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
699 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
703 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
704 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
705 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
707 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
708 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
711 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
712 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
715 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
716 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
717 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
719 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
720 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
725 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
726 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
727 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
728 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
730 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
731 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
733 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
734 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
736 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
737 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
738 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
739 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
741 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
742 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
743 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
746 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
747 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
748 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
749 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
751 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
752 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
755 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
756 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
757 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
759 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
763 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
764 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
765 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
767 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
768 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
769 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
772 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
773 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
774 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
776 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
777 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
778 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
780 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
781 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
785 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
786 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
787 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
789 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
790 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
791 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
792 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
794 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
798 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
799 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
800 value is a reference.
802 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
803 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
805 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
809 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
810 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
811 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
813 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
817 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
818 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
822 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
823 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
824 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
826 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
827 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
828 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
830 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
834 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
836 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
840 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
842 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
843 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
848 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
849 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
851 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
852 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
853 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
854 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
855 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
857 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
858 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
859 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
860 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
862 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
866 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
867 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
872 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
874 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
876 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
881 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
883 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
887 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
888 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
889 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
891 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
892 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
893 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
894 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
896 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
897 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
898 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
899 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
900 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
903 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
908 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
909 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
910 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
911 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
912 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
915 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
919 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
922 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
923 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
927 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
928 function (not just method). (doy)
932 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
933 and aren't easily installable/testable.
935 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
939 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
940 to be overridden more easily (doy).
942 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
946 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
947 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
949 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
953 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
954 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
955 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
957 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
961 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
962 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
963 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
965 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
966 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
970 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
971 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
973 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
974 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
978 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
979 is applied to a class (t0m).
981 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
982 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
984 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
987 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
988 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
990 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
991 be much more robust. (doy)
993 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
995 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
998 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1002 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1003 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1005 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1009 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1010 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1012 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1015 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1016 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1017 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1019 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1020 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1021 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1024 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1026 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1030 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1031 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1035 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1037 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1042 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1046 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1047 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1051 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1053 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1057 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1058 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1062 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1063 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1067 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1068 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1070 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1074 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1075 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1076 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1079 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1083 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1084 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1085 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1086 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1088 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1092 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1093 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1094 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1098 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1099 (Michael G. Schwern)
1101 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1105 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1106 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1107 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1111 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1112 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1114 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1115 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1116 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1117 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1119 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1123 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1127 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1128 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1130 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1131 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1132 - Moose::Util::does_role
1133 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1134 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1135 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1137 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1141 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1142 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1143 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1146 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1150 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1151 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1154 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1158 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1159 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1166 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1168 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1169 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1171 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1172 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1173 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1175 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1176 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1177 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1180 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1181 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1184 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1185 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1187 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1189 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1190 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1192 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1194 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1197 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1198 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1200 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1201 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1203 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1204 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1205 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1206 dependencies installed.
1208 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1209 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1212 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1214 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1218 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1221 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1222 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1224 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1225 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1226 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1228 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1229 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1232 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1233 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1234 others. (nothingmuch)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1237 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1238 remove_accessors. (doy)
1240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1241 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1242 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1245 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1247 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1249 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1250 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Class
1253 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1254 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1257 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1259 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1261 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1262 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1266 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1267 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1268 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1269 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1271 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1274 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1275 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1276 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1277 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1280 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1281 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1282 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1283 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1284 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1286 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1287 which were not receiving the value of
1288 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1289 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1290 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1291 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1295 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1296 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1297 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1298 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1299 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1302 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1303 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1304 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1305 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class
1308 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1309 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1310 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1313 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1315 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1317 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1318 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1319 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1322 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1323 class if you pass it options for
1324 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1325 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1326 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1327 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1328 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1329 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1330 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1331 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1332 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1334 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1335 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1336 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1337 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1338 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1341 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1343 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1344 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1347 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1348 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1349 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1350 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1351 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1354 * Moose::Error::Croak
1355 * Moose::Error::Confess
1356 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1357 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1360 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1363 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1364 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1365 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1367 * Moose::Meta::Class
1368 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1371 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1372 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1373 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1375 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1376 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1377 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1378 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1379 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1381 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1382 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1385 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1387 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1388 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1391 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1392 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1394 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1396 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1397 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1400 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1401 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1402 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1403 using it for new code!
1405 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1406 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1407 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1408 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1410 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1411 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1412 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1413 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1414 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1415 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1416 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1417 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1420 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1423 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1424 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1427 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1428 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1430 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1431 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1432 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1434 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1436 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1437 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1439 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1440 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1441 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1443 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1444 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1445 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1448 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1449 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1450 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1451 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1452 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1453 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1455 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1457 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1460 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1461 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1462 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1464 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1465 associated_methods. (hdp)
1466 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1467 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1468 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1469 misspelled) arguments
1471 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1472 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1473 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1474 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1476 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1477 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1478 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1480 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1484 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1485 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1488 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1489 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1491 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1492 * Moose::Meta::Class
1493 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1494 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1496 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1497 * Moose::Manual::Types
1498 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1499 string parsing rathole (mst)
1501 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1502 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1503 using plain objects instead
1505 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1506 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1507 that's what we need.
1509 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1510 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1511 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1512 three times today (perigrin)
1513 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1514 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1517 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1518 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1519 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1522 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1523 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1524 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1525 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1526 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1527 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1530 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1531 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1532 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1533 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1536 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1538 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1541 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1543 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1546 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1547 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1548 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1552 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1553 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1556 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1557 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1559 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1560 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1561 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1563 * Moose::Unsweetened
1564 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1566 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1567 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1570 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1574 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1575 methods during global destruction (doy)
1577 * Moose::Meta::Class
1578 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1579 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1580 consumption (Sartak)
1582 * Moose::Meta::Class
1583 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1584 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1587 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1588 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1591 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1592 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1594 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1596 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1600 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1601 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1602 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1606 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1607 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1610 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1612 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1613 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1614 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1618 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1619 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1620 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1622 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1623 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1624 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1627 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1630 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1631 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1632 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1636 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1637 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1639 * Moose::Meta::Class
1640 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1642 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1644 * Moose::Meta::Class
1645 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1646 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1649 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1650 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1653 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1654 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1657 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1660 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1663 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1666 * Moose::Meta::Class
1667 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1669 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1670 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1673 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1674 * More deprecations and renamings
1675 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1676 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1677 when an object is constructed)
1680 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1681 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1682 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1685 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1686 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1687 feature, and it works again.
1690 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1692 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1694 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1695 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1696 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1699 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1700 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1701 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1702 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1704 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1705 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1706 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1707 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1708 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1711 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1712 metaclass object. (hdp)
1714 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1715 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1716 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1717 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1718 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1719 point out this fact. (hdp)
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1722 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1724 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1725 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1727 * Moose::Meta::Class
1728 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1729 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1730 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1731 called during instance construction were passed the
1732 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1733 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1735 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1736 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1739 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1740 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1741 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1744 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1745 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1746 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1747 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1748 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1750 - Moose::Meta::Class
1751 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1753 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1754 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1755 when an object is constructed)
1756 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1758 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1759 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1760 when an object is constructed)
1761 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1762 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1763 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1766 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1768 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1769 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1771 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1773 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1774 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1775 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1777 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1778 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1779 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1781 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1783 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1784 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1786 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1787 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1790 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1791 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1794 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1795 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1796 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1799 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1803 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1804 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1805 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1807 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1808 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1811 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1812 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1813 with recommended workarounds.
1815 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1816 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1818 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1819 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1820 (yes, spelled like that).
1822 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1823 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1825 * Moose::Meta::Class
1826 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1827 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1829 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1832 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1833 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1834 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1835 instead. Reported by doy.
1837 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1839 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1840 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1842 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1843 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1844 message) is now deprecated.
1845 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1846 often got it wrong. For example:
1848 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1850 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1854 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1855 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1856 bite you in weird cases.
1858 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1859 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1860 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1861 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1863 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1864 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1868 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1871 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1872 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1876 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1878 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1879 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1882 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1884 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1885 - added tests for this (stevan)
1887 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1888 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1889 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1890 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1894 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1895 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1896 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1897 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1899 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1900 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1901 - added tests for this (rafl)
1903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1904 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1905 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1906 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1910 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1911 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1914 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1915 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1916 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1918 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1920 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1921 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1923 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1924 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1925 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1926 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1927 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1930 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1931 error message did not specify the attribute name
1934 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1936 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1938 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1939 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1940 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1942 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1943 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1946 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1948 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1949 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1950 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1951 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1953 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1955 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1956 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1957 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1958 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1960 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1961 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1962 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1965 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1966 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1967 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1968 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1971 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1972 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1973 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1974 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1977 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1978 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1979 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1980 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1981 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1983 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1984 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1985 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1986 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1987 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1988 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1990 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1991 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1993 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1994 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1995 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1996 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1998 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1999 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2002 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2006 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2007 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2009 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2010 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2011 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2012 guts. (nothingmuch).
2014 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2015 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2016 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2019 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2020 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2021 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2023 * Moose::Meta::Class
2024 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2027 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2028 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2030 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2031 * Moose::Unsweetened
2032 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2035 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2036 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2037 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2038 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2039 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2040 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2043 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2044 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2045 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2046 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2047 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2048 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2049 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2050 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2051 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2055 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2056 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2058 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2059 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2060 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2061 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2063 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2064 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2065 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2066 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2067 same methods for a single role did not work
2068 right (worked just fine with multiple
2070 - added test for this (stevan)
2072 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2073 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2074 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2077 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2078 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2079 - added test for this (t0m)
2082 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2083 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2084 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2086 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2087 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2088 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2089 - added test for this (t0m)
2091 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2092 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2093 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2094 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2095 - added test for this (perigrin)
2098 - create method for constructing a role
2099 dynamically (Sartak)
2100 - added test for this (Sartak)
2101 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2102 - added test for this (Sartak)
2105 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2107 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2108 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2109 methods is useful (Sartak)
2111 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2113 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2116 * Moose::Meta::Class
2117 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2118 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2119 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2120 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2121 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2122 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2125 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2126 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2128 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2129 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2130 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2131 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2132 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2134 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2136 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2137 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2138 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2141 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2142 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2143 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2144 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2145 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2146 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2149 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2150 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2151 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2152 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2153 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2154 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2155 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2156 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2157 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2158 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2159 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2161 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2162 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2165 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2166 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2167 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2168 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2169 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2171 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2173 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2174 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2175 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2178 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2180 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2181 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2182 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2183 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2186 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2187 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2189 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2191 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2192 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2194 * Moose::Meta::Class
2195 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2196 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2197 a required attribute
2199 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2201 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2202 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2205 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2207 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2208 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2209 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2210 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2211 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2212 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2213 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2214 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2216 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2217 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2218 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2220 * Roles and role application
2221 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2222 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2223 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2224 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2225 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2227 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2228 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2231 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2232 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2233 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2234 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2235 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2238 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2239 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2240 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2241 changes in the Moose internals.
2243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2245 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2249 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2250 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2251 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2253 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2254 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2255 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2256 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2258 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2259 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2260 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2261 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2262 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2263 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2264 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2265 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2266 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2267 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2268 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2269 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2270 constraint implementations.
2272 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2276 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2277 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2278 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2279 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2280 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2281 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2282 - added tests for this (rafl)
2284 * Moose::Meta::Class
2285 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2286 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2287 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2288 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2289 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2290 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2291 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2292 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2295 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2296 - added tests for this (thepler)
2298 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2299 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2300 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2301 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2304 * Moose::Meta::Class
2305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2306 * Moose::Meta::Method
2309 * Moose::Error::Default
2310 * Moose::Error::Croak
2311 * Moose::Error::Confess
2312 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2313 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2314 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2315 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2316 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2317 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2319 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2321 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2322 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2324 * Moose::Unsweetened
2325 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2326 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2327 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2329 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2330 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2331 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2332 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2333 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2336 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2337 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2339 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2340 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2341 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2342 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2345 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2347 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2348 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2350 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2353 - Various bug fixes.
2355 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2356 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2358 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2360 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2361 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2362 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2363 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2364 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2365 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2367 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2368 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2369 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2371 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2372 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2373 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2376 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2377 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2378 dependency to 0.64_07.
2380 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2381 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2382 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2384 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2385 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2388 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2389 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2390 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2391 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2392 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2393 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2395 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2396 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2398 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2400 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2401 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2405 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2406 method when that method was provided by another role being
2407 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2408 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2410 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2412 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2413 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2416 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2417 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2418 - added test for this (t0m)
2420 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2421 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2422 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2424 - added test for this (t0m)
2427 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2428 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2429 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2432 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2433 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2435 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2437 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2438 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2440 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2441 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2442 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2444 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2445 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2448 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2449 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2450 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2451 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2455 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2456 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2457 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2460 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2461 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2462 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2463 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2466 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2470 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2471 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2472 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2474 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2476 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2477 created so that the process can be more easily
2478 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2480 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2481 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2482 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2483 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2486 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2489 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2490 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2492 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2493 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2494 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2496 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2497 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2498 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2500 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2501 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2503 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2504 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2507 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2508 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2512 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2513 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2515 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2516 ... this is not my day today ...
2518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2519 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2520 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2521 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2522 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2525 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2526 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2527 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2528 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2529 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2532 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2534 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2535 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2536 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2537 this is not ever something you want to do
2538 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2539 - added tests for this (stevan)
2542 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2544 - added test for this
2546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2547 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2548 - added tests for this (wreis)
2550 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2551 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2552 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2553 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2555 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2556 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2557 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2560 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2562 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2564 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2567 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2568 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2569 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2570 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2571 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2572 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2573 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2574 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2575 - added tests for this
2577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2578 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2579 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2580 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2582 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2585 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2586 - added tests for this (sartak)
2587 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2588 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2591 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2593 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2594 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2596 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2597 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2598 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2599 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2601 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2603 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2604 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2607 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2608 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2609 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2612 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2613 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2615 - added docs for this (TODO).
2616 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2617 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2618 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2619 - fix builder and default both being used
2624 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2626 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2627 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2628 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2632 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2636 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2637 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2638 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2640 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2641 - move the ClassName type check code to
2642 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2644 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2645 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2647 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2648 (early morning release engineering)--
2650 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2651 which was causing the indexer to choke
2653 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2654 (late night release engineering)--
2656 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2657 changes in this release
2659 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2660 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2661 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2663 * Moose::Meta::Class
2664 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2665 since it is called so often by &meta
2667 * Moose::Meta::Class
2669 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2670 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2673 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2674 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2675 method for immutablization to check if the
2676 destructor object even needs to be created
2679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2680 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2681 - added more descriptive error message to help
2682 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2683 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2685 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2687 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2688 XS based functionality is now optional
2689 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2690 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2691 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2693 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2694 to take care of this, mostly we added
2695 support for the package_name and name
2696 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2697 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2698 support regexp matching of names
2699 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2700 - tests added for this
2701 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2702 is currently not supported in roles,
2703 but, ... patches welcome
2704 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2705 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2706 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2709 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2710 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2711 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2712 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2713 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2714 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2715 - added test for this
2717 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2718 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2719 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2722 * Moose::Meta::Class
2723 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2727 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2729 - added tests for this
2730 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2731 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2734 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2735 themselves parameterizable types
2737 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2738 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2739 called by the inlined immutable
2741 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2743 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2744 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2745 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2746 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2748 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2749 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2753 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2754 causing occasional cpantester failures
2755 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2756 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2758 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2760 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2761 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2764 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2765 ->body when looping through the
2766 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2768 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2769 eating the $@ values, and so not
2770 working correctly, it still kind of
2771 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2772 - added tests for this
2774 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2775 - added new recipe for immutable
2776 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2778 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2779 - added new recipe for builder and
2780 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2782 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2783 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2784 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2787 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)

2794 drink more coffee before
2795 doing release engineering
2797 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2912 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2914 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2958 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2959 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3253 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3254 - added tests for this

3264 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3267 * Parameterized Types
3268 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3269 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3270 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3271 They can also be nested:
3272 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3273 And work with the type unions as well:
3274 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3276 * Better Framework Extendability
3277 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3278 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3279 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3280 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3283 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3284 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3285 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3286 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3461 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3462 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3463 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3464 - added tests for this
3466 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3468 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3469 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
3470 - altered unimport tests to handle this
3473 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
3475 * Moose::Meta::Class
3476 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
3477 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
3480 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3481 where not handled correctly in roles
3482 - added tests for this
3484 * Moose::Meta::Class
3485 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3486 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3487 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3489 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3490 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3492 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3493 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3494 so this release is just to fix that.
3497 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3498 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3499 (thanks to konobi for this)
3500 - added tests and docs
3502 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3503 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3506 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3507 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3508 - added tests for this
3509 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3510 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3511 functions to facilitate introspection.
3513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3514 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3515 to build the list of delegated methods
3516 correctly (and not override important
3517 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3519 - added tests and docs for this
3520 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3521 so that you can actually document your
3522 attributes and inspect them through the
3524 - added tests and docs for this
3526 * Moose::Meta::Class
3527 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3528 it will first look in for the class in the
3529 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3530 then default to just loading $name.
3531 - added tests and docs for this
3533 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3534 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3535 - added test for this
3538 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3539 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3540 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3541 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3543 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3544 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3547 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3549 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3550 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3551 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3554 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3555 !! for this developer release to work !!
3557 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3558 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3559 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3560 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3561 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3562 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3563 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3564 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3565 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3566 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3567 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3569 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3570 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3571 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3572 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3575 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3577 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3578 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3579 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3581 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3583 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3584 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3587 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3588 called unless they actually need to be.
3589 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3590 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3591 DEMOLISH method present.
3593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3594 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3595 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3596 type constraint, which allows for a
3597 hand optimized version of the type
3598 constraint to be used when possible.
3599 - Any internally created type constraints
3600 now provide an optimized version as well.
3602 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3604 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3605 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3606 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3609 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3610 your class namespace of these exported
3613 * Moose::Meta::Class
3614 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3615 comes up during global destruction
3617 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3621 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3624 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3625 - changed how we do type checks so that
3626 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3629 - moved accessor generation methods to
3630 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3631 conform to the API changes from
3634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3635 - changed how constraints are compiled
3636 so that we do less recursion and more
3637 iteration. This makes the type check
3639 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3642 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3643 - created this from methods formerly found in
3644 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3646 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3647 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3650 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3652 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3653 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3655 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3657 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3658 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3659 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3660 - added tests for this
3661 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3662 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3663 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3664 - removed tests for this
3666 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3668 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3669 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3670 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3673 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3674 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3675 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3677 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3678 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3679 comments for more info.
3682 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3683 asked questions and common problems
3685 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3686 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3687 - added tests for this
3689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3690 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3691 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3692 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3694 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3695 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3698 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3699 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3700 is much appreciated :)
3701 - added tests for this
3703 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3704 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3705 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3708 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3709 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3711 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3713 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3714 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3718 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3719 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3720 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3722 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3724 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3727 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3728 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3729 keywords because we need to localize them.
3730 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3732 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3733 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3734 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3737 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3740 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3741 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3742 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3745 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3746 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3747 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3749 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3751 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3752 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3753 bottom of your class file.
3756 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3759 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3761 - improved error message when loading modules so
3762 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3763 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3764 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3767 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3768 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3769 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3771 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3772 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3774 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3775 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3776 turn them on for you.
3777 - added tests for this
3778 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3779 in Moose::Meta::Class

3806 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3807 - This release works in combination with
3808 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3809 release because it uses the a new
3810 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3811 complete Role implementation. It has
3812 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3813 the the previous CPAN version. This
3814 release also lacks good updated docs,
3815 the official release will have updated docs.
3818 - refactored the keyword exports
3819 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3820 accepts more than one Role at a time

3826 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3827 accepts more than one Role at a time
3829 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3831 string enumerations which can be used as
3833 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3836 - more careful checking of params to new()
3839 - much work done on the role composition
3840 - many new tests for conflict detection
3841 and composition edge cases
3842 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3843 looking at the tests
3845 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3846 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3847 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3849 * Moose::Meta::Class

3857 - some small changes to support the new
3859 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3860 with the 'handles' option
3861 - added several tests for this
3862 - no docs for this yet

3866 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3867 thanks to chansen for this commit
3868 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3869 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3870 on a per-attribute basis
3871 - added tests for this
3872 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3873 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3874 experimental feature and probably not finished

3939 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3941 - added test for this
