1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0800 Wed, Mar 27, 2013
10 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
11 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
13 * Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
14 without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
18 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
19 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
20 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
22 * Fix memory leak in type unions. (Karen Etheridge) RT#83929.
24 2.0604 Wed, Sep 19, 2012
28 * Fix nonsensical error message for inlined accessors of required attributes.
31 * Stop trying to localize a lexical (blead now throws an error for this). RT
32 #79257, perl #114628. (sprout)
36 * Depend on a version of Carp new enough to have caller_info. RT #79367.
39 2.0603 Thu, Jun 28, 2012
43 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
45 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
49 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
50 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
51 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
52 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
53 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
55 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
59 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
60 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
61 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
63 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
67 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
69 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
73 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
74 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
75 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
78 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
80 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
84 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
86 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
90 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
91 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
95 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
96 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
97 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
98 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
99 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
104 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
105 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
106 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
107 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
109 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
110 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
111 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
113 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
114 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
115 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
116 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
118 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
119 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
120 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
121 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
123 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
124 package which was deleted. (doy)
126 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
130 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
132 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
136 * Minor documentation fixes.
138 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
139 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
141 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
145 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
146 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
148 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
152 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
154 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
158 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
160 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
163 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
167 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
169 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
170 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
174 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
175 more values were required. (rjbs)
177 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
181 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
182 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
186 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
187 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
188 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
189 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
191 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
192 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
193 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
196 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
199 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
200 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
201 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
202 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
206 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
207 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
208 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
209 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
212 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
216 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
217 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
218 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
220 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
221 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
222 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
224 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
225 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
226 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
228 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
229 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
232 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
233 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
234 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
236 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
237 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
240 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
241 the associated stash. (doy)
245 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
246 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
247 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
248 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
250 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
254 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
255 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
256 the attribute's reference.
260 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
261 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
266 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
267 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
268 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
271 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
272 the Object constraint).
274 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
278 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
279 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
284 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
286 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
290 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
293 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
295 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
299 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
301 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
305 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
308 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
309 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
310 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
312 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
315 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
319 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
321 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
325 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
327 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
331 * Include changes from 2.0010.
333 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
337 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
338 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
342 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
343 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
344 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
349 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
351 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
355 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
356 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
358 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
362 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
364 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
368 * Various packaging issues.
370 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
374 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
375 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
380 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
381 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
382 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
386 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
387 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
388 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
390 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
394 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
395 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
397 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
401 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
402 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
404 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
407 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
408 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
412 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
413 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
415 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
419 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
420 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
424 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
426 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
430 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
432 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
436 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
437 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
439 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
443 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
445 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
449 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
451 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
452 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
454 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
458 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
459 skips every other role. (rjbs)
461 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
462 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
463 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
464 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
465 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
467 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
471 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
472 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
473 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
476 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
481 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
483 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
484 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
486 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
490 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
491 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
492 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
496 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
497 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
499 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
500 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
502 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
503 environments. (doy, mateu)
505 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
509 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
510 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
511 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
512 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
516 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
517 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
519 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
523 * Update conflicts list.
526 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
530 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
531 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
532 details. (Dave Rolsky)
534 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
535 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
536 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
537 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
538 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
542 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
543 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
544 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
545 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
546 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
549 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
553 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
554 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
556 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
559 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
563 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
564 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
565 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
566 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
568 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
569 immutable classes). (mo)
571 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
572 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
573 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
575 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
579 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
581 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
583 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
587 * Fix some indexing issues.
589 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
591 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
595 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
596 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
597 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
598 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
599 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
601 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
602 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
607 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
608 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
609 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
610 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
612 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
613 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
614 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
618 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
619 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
622 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
626 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
627 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
631 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
635 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
636 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
637 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
638 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
641 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
645 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
648 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
652 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
653 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
654 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
657 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
661 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
662 policy. (Chris Prather)
664 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
665 on this new support policy. (doy)
669 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
670 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
671 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
673 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
674 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
676 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
680 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
681 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
682 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
683 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
686 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
690 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
691 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
694 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
698 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
699 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
701 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
702 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
706 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
707 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
708 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
709 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
710 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
711 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
713 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
714 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
716 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
717 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
718 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
719 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
721 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
722 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
724 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
729 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
730 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
732 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
736 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
737 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
738 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
740 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
744 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
745 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
746 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
748 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
749 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
752 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
753 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
756 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
757 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
758 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
760 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
761 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
766 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
767 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
768 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
769 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
771 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
772 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
774 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
775 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
777 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
778 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
779 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
780 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
782 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
783 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
784 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
787 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
788 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
789 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
790 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
792 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
793 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
796 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
797 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
798 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
800 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
804 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
805 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
806 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
808 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
809 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
810 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
813 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
814 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
815 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
817 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
818 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
819 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
821 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
822 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
826 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
827 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
828 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
830 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
831 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
832 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
833 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
835 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
839 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
840 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
841 value is a reference.
843 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
844 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
846 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
850 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
851 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
852 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
854 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
858 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
859 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
863 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
864 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
865 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
867 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
868 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
869 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
871 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
875 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
877 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
881 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
883 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
884 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
889 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
890 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
892 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
893 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
894 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
895 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
896 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
898 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
899 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
900 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
901 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
903 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
907 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
908 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
913 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
915 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
917 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
922 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
924 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
928 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
929 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
930 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
932 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
933 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
934 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
935 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
937 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
938 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
939 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
940 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
941 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
944 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
949 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
950 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
951 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
952 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
953 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
956 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
960 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
963 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
964 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
968 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
969 function (not just method). (doy)
973 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
974 and aren't easily installable/testable.
976 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
980 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
981 to be overridden more easily (doy).
983 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
987 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
988 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
990 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
994 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
995 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
996 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
998 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
1002 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
1003 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
1004 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
1006 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
1007 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
1011 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
1012 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
1014 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
1015 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
1019 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
1020 is applied to a class (t0m).
1022 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
1023 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1025 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1028 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1029 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1031 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1032 be much more robust. (doy)
1034 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1036 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1039 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1043 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1044 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1046 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1050 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1051 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1053 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1056 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1057 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1058 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1060 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1061 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1062 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1065 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1067 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1071 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1072 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1076 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1078 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1082 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1083 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1087 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1088 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1092 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1094 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1098 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1099 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1103 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1104 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1108 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1109 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1111 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1115 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1116 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1117 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1120 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1124 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1125 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1126 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1127 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1129 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1133 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1134 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1135 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1139 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1140 (Michael G. Schwern)
1142 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1147 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1148 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1152 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1153 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1155 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1156 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1157 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1158 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1160 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1164 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1168 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1169 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1171 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1172 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1173 - Moose::Util::does_role
1174 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1175 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1176 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1178 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1182 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1183 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1184 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1187 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1191 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1192 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1195 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1199 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1200 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1203 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1207 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1209 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1210 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1212 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1213 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1214 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1216 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1217 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1218 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1221 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1222 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1225 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1226 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1228 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1230 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1231 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1233 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1235 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1238 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1239 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1241 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1242 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1244 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1245 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1246 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1247 dependencies installed.
1249 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1250 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1253 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1255 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1259 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1262 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1263 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1265 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1266 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1267 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1269 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1270 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1273 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1274 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1275 others. (nothingmuch)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1278 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1279 remove_accessors. (doy)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1282 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1283 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1285 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1286 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1288 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1289 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1290 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1291 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1293 * Moose::Meta::Class
1294 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1295 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1298 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1300 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1302 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1303 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1307 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1308 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1309 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1310 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1312 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1315 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1316 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1317 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1318 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1321 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1322 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1323 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1324 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1325 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1327 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1328 which were not receiving the value of
1329 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1330 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1331 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1332 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1336 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1337 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1338 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1339 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1340 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1344 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1345 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1346 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1348 * Moose::Meta::Class
1349 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1350 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1351 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1354 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1356 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1358 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1359 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1360 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1363 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1364 class if you pass it options for
1365 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1366 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1367 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1368 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1369 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1370 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1371 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1372 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1373 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1375 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1376 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1377 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1378 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1379 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1382 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1383 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1384 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1385 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1388 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1389 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1390 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1391 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1392 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1395 * Moose::Error::Croak
1396 * Moose::Error::Confess
1397 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1398 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1401 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1404 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1405 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1406 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1408 * Moose::Meta::Class
1409 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1412 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1413 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1414 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1416 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1417 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1418 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1419 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1420 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1422 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1423 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1426 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1428 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1429 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1432 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1433 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1437 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1438 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1441 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1442 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1443 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1444 using it for new code!
1446 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1447 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1448 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1449 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1451 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1452 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1453 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1454 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1455 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1456 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1457 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1458 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1461 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1464 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1465 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1469 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1471 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1472 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1473 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1475 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1477 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1478 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1480 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1481 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1482 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1484 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1485 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1486 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1489 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1490 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1491 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1492 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1493 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1494 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1496 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1498 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1502 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1503 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1505 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1506 associated_methods. (hdp)
1507 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1508 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1509 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1510 misspelled) arguments
1512 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1513 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1514 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1515 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1518 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1519 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1521 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1525 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1526 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1529 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1530 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1532 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1533 * Moose::Meta::Class
1534 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1535 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1537 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1538 * Moose::Manual::Types
1539 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1540 string parsing rathole (mst)
1542 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1543 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1544 using plain objects instead
1546 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1547 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1548 that's what we need.
1550 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1551 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1552 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1553 three times today (perigrin)
1554 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1555 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1557 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1558 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1559 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1560 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1563 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1564 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1565 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1566 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1567 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1568 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1571 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1572 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1573 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1574 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1577 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1579 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1582 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1584 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1587 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1588 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1589 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1593 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1594 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1597 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1598 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1600 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1601 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1602 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1604 * Moose::Unsweetened
1605 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1608 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1611 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1615 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1616 methods during global destruction (doy)
1618 * Moose::Meta::Class
1619 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1620 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1621 consumption (Sartak)
1623 * Moose::Meta::Class
1624 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1625 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1628 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1629 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1632 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1633 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1635 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1637 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1641 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1642 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1643 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1646 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1647 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1648 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1651 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1653 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1655 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1658 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1659 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1660 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1661 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1663 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1664 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1665 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1668 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1671 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1672 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1673 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1677 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1678 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1680 * Moose::Meta::Class
1681 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1683 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1685 * Moose::Meta::Class
1686 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1687 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1690 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1691 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1694 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1695 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1698 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1701 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1703 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1704 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1707 * Moose::Meta::Class
1708 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1710 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1711 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1714 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1715 * More deprecations and renamings
1716 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1717 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1718 when an object is constructed)
1721 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1722 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1723 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1725 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1726 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1727 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1728 feature, and it works again.
1731 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1733 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1735 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1736 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1737 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1740 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1741 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1742 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1743 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1746 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1747 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1748 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1749 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1752 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1753 metaclass object. (hdp)
1755 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1756 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1757 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1758 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1759 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1760 point out this fact. (hdp)
1762 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1763 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1765 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1766 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1768 * Moose::Meta::Class
1769 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1770 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1771 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1772 called during instance construction were passed the
1773 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1774 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1776 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1777 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1780 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1781 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1782 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1785 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1786 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1787 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1788 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1789 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1791 - Moose::Meta::Class
1792 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1794 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1795 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1796 when an object is constructed)
1797 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1799 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1800 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1801 when an object is constructed)
1802 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1803 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1804 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1807 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1809 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1810 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1812 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1814 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1815 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1816 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1818 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1819 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1820 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1822 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1824 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1825 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1827 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1828 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1831 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1832 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1835 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1836 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1837 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1839 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1840 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1844 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1845 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1846 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1848 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1849 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1852 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1853 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1854 with recommended workarounds.
1856 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1857 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1859 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1860 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1861 (yes, spelled like that).
1863 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1864 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1866 * Moose::Meta::Class
1867 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1868 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1870 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1872 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1873 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1874 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1875 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1876 instead. Reported by doy.
1878 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1880 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1881 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1884 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1885 message) is now deprecated.
1886 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1887 often got it wrong. For example:
1889 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1891 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1895 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1896 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1897 bite you in weird cases.
1899 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1900 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1901 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1902 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1905 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1909 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1912 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1913 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1916 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1917 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1920 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1923 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1924 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1925 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1926 - added tests for this (stevan)
1928 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1929 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1930 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1931 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1935 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1936 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1937 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1938 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1940 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1941 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1942 - added tests for this (rafl)
1944 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1945 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1946 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1947 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1951 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1952 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1955 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1956 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1957 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1959 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1961 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1962 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1964 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1965 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1966 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1967 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1968 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1970 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1971 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1972 error message did not specify the attribute name
1975 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1977 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1979 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1980 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1981 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1983 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1984 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1987 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1989 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1990 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1991 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1992 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1994 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1996 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1997 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1998 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1999 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
2001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2002 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
2003 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
2005 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2006 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
2007 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
2008 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
2009 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
2011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2012 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
2013 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
2014 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
2015 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
2017 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2018 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
2019 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
2020 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
2021 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
2022 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
2024 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2025 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2026 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2027 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2028 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2029 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2032 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2034 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2035 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2036 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2037 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2039 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2040 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2043 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2047 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2048 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2050 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2051 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2052 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2053 guts. (nothingmuch).
2055 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2056 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2057 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2059 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2060 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2061 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2062 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2064 * Moose::Meta::Class
2065 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2068 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2069 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2071 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2072 * Moose::Unsweetened
2073 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2076 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2077 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2078 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2079 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2080 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2081 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2083 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2084 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2085 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2086 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2087 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2088 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2089 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2090 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2091 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2092 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2094 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2096 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2097 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2100 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2101 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2102 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2104 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2105 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2106 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2107 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2108 same methods for a single role did not work
2109 right (worked just fine with multiple
2111 - added test for this (stevan)
2113 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2114 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2115 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2118 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2119 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2120 - added test for this (t0m)
2123 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2124 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2125 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2128 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2129 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2130 - added test for this (t0m)
2132 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2133 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2134 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2135 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2136 - added test for this (perigrin)
2139 - create method for constructing a role
2140 dynamically (Sartak)
2141 - added test for this (Sartak)
2142 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2143 - added test for this (Sartak)
2146 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2148 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2149 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2150 methods is useful (Sartak)
2152 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2154 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2157 * Moose::Meta::Class
2158 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2159 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2160 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2161 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2162 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2163 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2166 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2167 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2169 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2170 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2171 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2172 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2173 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2175 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2177 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2178 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2179 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2182 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2183 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2184 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2185 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2186 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2187 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2190 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2191 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2192 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2193 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2194 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2195 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2196 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2197 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2198 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2199 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2200 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2202 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2203 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2207 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2208 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2209 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2210 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2212 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2214 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2215 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2216 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2218 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2219 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2222 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2223 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2224 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2227 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2228 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2230 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2232 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2233 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2235 * Moose::Meta::Class
2236 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2237 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2238 a required attribute
2240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2241 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2242 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2243 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2246 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2249 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2250 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2251 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2252 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2253 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2254 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2255 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2257 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2258 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2259 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2261 * Roles and role application
2262 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2263 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2264 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2265 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2266 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2268 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2269 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2272 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2273 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2274 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2275 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2276 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2279 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2280 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2281 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2282 changes in the Moose internals.
2284 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2285 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2286 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2290 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2291 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2292 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2294 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2295 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2296 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2297 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2300 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2301 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2302 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2303 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2304 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2305 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2306 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2307 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2308 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2309 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2310 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2311 constraint implementations.
2313 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2317 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2318 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2319 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2320 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2321 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2322 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2323 - added tests for this (rafl)
2325 * Moose::Meta::Class
2326 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2327 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2328 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2329 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2330 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2331 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2332 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2333 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2336 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2337 - added tests for this (thepler)
2339 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2340 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2341 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2342 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2345 * Moose::Meta::Class
2346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2347 * Moose::Meta::Method
2350 * Moose::Error::Default
2351 * Moose::Error::Croak
2352 * Moose::Error::Confess
2353 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2354 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2355 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2356 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2357 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2358 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2360 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2362 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2363 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2365 * Moose::Unsweetened
2366 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2367 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2368 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2370 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2371 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2372 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2373 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2374 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2377 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2378 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2380 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2381 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2382 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2383 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2386 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2388 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2389 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2391 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2394 - Various bug fixes.
2396 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2397 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2399 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2401 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2402 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2403 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2404 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2405 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2406 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2408 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2409 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2410 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2412 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2413 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2414 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2417 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2418 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2419 dependency to 0.64_07.
2421 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2422 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2423 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2425 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2426 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2430 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2431 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2432 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2433 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2434 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2437 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2439 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2441 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2442 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2446 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2447 method when that method was provided by another role being
2448 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2449 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2451 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2453 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2454 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2457 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2458 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2459 - added test for this (t0m)
2461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2462 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2463 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2465 - added test for this (t0m)
2468 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2469 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2470 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2473 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2474 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2476 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2478 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2479 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2481 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2482 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2483 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2485 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2486 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2489 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2490 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2491 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2492 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2496 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2497 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2498 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2501 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2502 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2503 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2504 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2507 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2511 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2512 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2513 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2515 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2517 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2518 created so that the process can be more easily
2519 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2521 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2522 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2523 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2524 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2526 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2527 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2530 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2531 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2533 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2534 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2535 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2537 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2538 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2539 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2541 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2542 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2544 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2545 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2548 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2549 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2553 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2554 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2556 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2557 ... this is not my day today ...
2559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2560 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2561 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2562 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2563 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2566 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2567 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2568 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2569 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2570 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2573 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2575 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2576 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2577 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2578 this is not ever something you want to do
2579 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2580 - added tests for this (stevan)
2583 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2585 - added test for this
2587 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2588 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2589 - added tests for this (wreis)
2591 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2592 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2593 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2594 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2596 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2597 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2598 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2601 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2603 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2605 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2608 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2609 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2610 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2611 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2612 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2613 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2614 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2615 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2616 - added tests for this
2618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2619 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2620 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2621 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2623 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2625 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2626 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2627 - added tests for this (sartak)
2628 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2629 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2632 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2634 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2635 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2637 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2638 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2639 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2640 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2642 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2644 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2645 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2648 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2649 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2650 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2652 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2653 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2654 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2656 - added docs for this (TODO).
2657 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2658 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2659 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2660 - fix builder and default both being used
2665 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2667 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2668 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2669 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2673 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2677 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2678 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2679 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2681 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2682 - move the ClassName type check code to
2683 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2685 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2686 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2688 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2689 (early morning release engineering)--
2691 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2692 which was causing the indexer to choke
2694 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2695 (late night release engineering)--
2697 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2698 changes in this release
2700 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2701 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2702 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2704 * Moose::Meta::Class
2705 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2706 since it is called so often by &meta
2708 * Moose::Meta::Class
2710 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2711 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2714 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2715 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2716 method for immutablization to check if the
2717 destructor object even needs to be created
2720 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2721 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2722 - added more descriptive error message to help
2723 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2724 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2726 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2728 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2729 XS based functionality is now optional
2730 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2731 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2732 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2734 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2735 to take care of this, mostly we added
2736 support for the package_name and name
2737 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2738 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2739 support regexp matching of names
2740 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2741 - tests added for this
2742 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2743 is currently not supported in roles,
2744 but, ... patches welcome
2745 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2746 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2747 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2750 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2751 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2752 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2753 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2754 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2755 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2756 - added test for this
2758 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2759 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2760 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2763 * Moose::Meta::Class
2764 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2768 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2770 - added tests for this
2771 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2772 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2775 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2776 themselves parameterizable types
2778 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2779 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2780 called by the inlined immutable
2782 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2784 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2785 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2786 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2787 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2789 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22

2835 drink more coffee before
2836 doing release engineering
2838 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2953 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2955 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2999 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
3000 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3293 when they encounter overriden or modified
3294 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3295 - added tests for this
3297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3298 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3299 the | always creates a union and so is

3301 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3303 - added more tests for this
3305 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3308 * Parameterized Types
3309 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3310 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3311 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3312 They can also be nested:
3313 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3314 And work with the type unions as well:
3315 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3317 * Better Framework Extendability
3318 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3319 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3320 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3321 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3324 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3325 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3326 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3327 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3475 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
3476 * Moose::Meta::Class
3477 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
3478 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
3479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3480 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
3481 the other side (perigrin)
3483 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3485 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3486 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3487 prototypes for functions
3488 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3489 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3490 - added tests and docs for this
3491 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3492 default for where be { 1 }
3493 - added test for this
3495 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3496 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3497 merlyn for finding this bug
3498 - tests added for this
3499 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3502 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3503 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3504 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3505 - added tests for this
3507 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3509 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3521 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3522 where not handled correctly in roles
3523 - added tests for this
3525 * Moose::Meta::Class
3526 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3527 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3528 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3530 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3531 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3533 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3534 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3535 so this release is just to fix that.
3538 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3539 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3540 (thanks to konobi for this)
3541 - added tests and docs
3543 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3551 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3552 functions to facilitate introspection.
3554 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3555 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3556 to build the list of delegated methods
3557 correctly (and not override important
3558 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3560 - added tests and docs for this
3561 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3562 so that you can actually document your
3563 attributes and inspect them through the
3565 - added tests and docs for this
3567 * Moose::Meta::Class
3568 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3569 it will first look in for the class in the
3570 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3571 then default to just loading $name.
3572 - added tests and docs for this
3574 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3575 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3576 - added test for this
3579 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3580 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3581 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3582 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3584 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3585 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3588 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3590 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3591 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3592 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3595 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3596 !! for this developer release to work !!
3598 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3599 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3600 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3601 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3602 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3603 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3604 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3605 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3606 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3607 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3608 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3610 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3611 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3612 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3613 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3616 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3617 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3618 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3619 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3620 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3622 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3624 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3625 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3628 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3629 called unless they actually need to be.
3630 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3631 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3632 DEMOLISH method present.
3634 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3636 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3637 type constraint, which allows for a
3638 hand optimized version of the type
3639 constraint to be used when possible.
3640 - Any internally created type constraints
3641 now provide an optimized version as well.
3643 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3645 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3646 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3647 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3649 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3650 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3651 your class namespace of these exported
3654 * Moose::Meta::Class
3655 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3656 comes up during global destruction
3658 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3662 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3665 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3666 - changed how we do type checks so that
3667 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3670 - moved accessor generation methods to
3671 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3672 conform to the API changes from
3675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3676 - changed how constraints are compiled
3677 so that we do less recursion and more
3678 iteration. This makes the type check
3680 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3684 - created this from methods formerly found in
3685 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3687 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3688 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3691 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3693 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3694 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3696 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3699 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3700 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3701 - added tests for this
3702 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3703 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3704 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3705 - removed tests for this
3707 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3709 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3710 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3711 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3714 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3715 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3716 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3718 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3719 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3720 comments for more info.
3723 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3724 asked questions and common problems
3726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3727 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3728 - added tests for this
3730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3731 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3732 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3733 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3735 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3736 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3739 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3740 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3741 is much appreciated :)
3742 - added tests for this
3744 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3745 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3746 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3749 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3750 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3752 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3754 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3755 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3759 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3760 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3761 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3763 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3765 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3768 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3769 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3770 keywords because we need to localize them.
3771 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3773 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3774 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3775 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3778 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3781 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3782 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3783 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3786 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3787 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3788 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3790 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3792 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3793 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3794 bottom of your class file.
3797 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3800 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3802 - improved error message when loading modules so
3803 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3804 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3805 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3808 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3809 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3810 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3812 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3813 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3815 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3816 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3817 turn them on for you.
3818 - added tests for this
3819 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3820 in Moose::Meta::Class

3847 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3848 - This release works in combination with
3849 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3850 release because it uses the a new
3851 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3852 complete Role implementation. It has
3853 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3854 the the previous CPAN version. This
3855 release also lacks good updated docs,
3856 the official release will have updated docs.
3859 - refactored the keyword exports
3860 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3861 accepts more than one Role at a time

3867 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3868 accepts more than one Role at a time
3870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3872 string enumerations which can be used as
3874 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3877 - more careful checking of params to new()
3880 - much work done on the role composition
3881 - many new tests for conflict detection
3882 and composition edge cases
3883 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3884 looking at the tests
3886 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3887 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3888 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3890 * Moose::Meta::Class

3898 - some small changes to support the new
3900 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3901 with the 'handles' option

3909 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3910 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3911 on a per-attribute basis
3912 - added tests for this
3913 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3914 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3915 experimental feature and probably not finished

3917 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3918 - added tests for this

3980 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3982 - added test for this
