1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
14 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
15 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
17 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
18 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
19 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
20 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
25 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
26 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
27 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
30 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
32 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
33 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
34 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
38 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
39 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
44 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
45 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
46 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
47 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
49 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
53 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
54 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
55 the attribute's reference.
59 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
60 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
64 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
65 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
66 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
69 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
70 the Object constraint).
72 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
76 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
77 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
82 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
84 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
88 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
91 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
93 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
97 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
99 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
103 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
106 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
107 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
108 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
110 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
113 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
117 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
119 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
123 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
125 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
129 * Include changes from 2.0010.
131 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
135 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
136 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
140 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
141 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
142 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
147 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
149 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
153 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
154 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
156 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
160 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
162 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
166 * Various packaging issues.
168 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
172 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
173 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
178 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
179 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
180 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
184 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
185 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
186 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
188 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
192 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
193 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
195 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
199 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
200 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
202 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
205 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
206 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
210 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
211 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
213 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
217 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
218 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
222 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
224 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
228 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
230 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
234 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
235 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
237 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
241 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
243 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
247 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
249 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
250 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
252 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
256 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
257 skips every other role. (rjbs)
259 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
260 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
261 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
262 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
263 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
265 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
269 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
270 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
271 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
274 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
279 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
281 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
282 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
284 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
288 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
289 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
290 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
294 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
295 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
297 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
298 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
300 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
301 environments. (doy, mateu)
303 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
307 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
308 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
309 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
310 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
314 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
315 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
317 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
321 * Update conflicts list.
324 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
328 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
329 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
330 details. (Dave Rolsky)
332 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
333 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
334 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
335 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
336 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
340 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
341 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
342 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
343 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
344 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
347 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
351 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
352 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
354 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
357 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
361 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
362 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
363 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
364 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
366 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
367 immutable classes). (mo)
369 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
370 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
371 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
373 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
377 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
379 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
381 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
385 * Fix some indexing issues.
387 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
389 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
393 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
394 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
395 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
396 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
397 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
399 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
400 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
405 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
406 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
407 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
408 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
410 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
411 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
412 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
416 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
417 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
420 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
424 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
425 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
429 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
433 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
434 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
435 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
436 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
439 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
443 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
446 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
450 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
451 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
452 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
455 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
459 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
460 policy. (Chris Prather)
462 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
463 on this new support policy. (doy)
467 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
468 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
469 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
471 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
472 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
474 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
478 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
479 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
480 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
481 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
484 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
488 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
489 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
492 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
496 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
497 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
499 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
500 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
504 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
505 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
506 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
507 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
508 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
509 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
511 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
512 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
514 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
515 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
516 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
517 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
519 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
520 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
522 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
527 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
528 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
530 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
534 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
535 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
536 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
538 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
542 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
543 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
544 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
546 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
547 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
550 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
551 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
554 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
555 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
556 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
558 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
559 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
564 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
565 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
566 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
567 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
569 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
570 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
572 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
573 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
575 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
576 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
577 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
578 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
580 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
581 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
582 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
585 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
586 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
587 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
588 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
590 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
591 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
594 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
595 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
596 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
598 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
602 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
603 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
604 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
606 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
607 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
608 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
611 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
612 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
613 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
615 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
616 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
617 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
619 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
620 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
624 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
625 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
626 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
628 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
629 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
630 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
631 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
633 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
637 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
638 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
639 value is a reference.
641 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
642 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
644 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
648 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
649 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
650 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
652 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
656 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
657 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
661 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
662 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
663 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
665 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
666 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
667 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
669 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
673 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
675 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
679 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
681 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
682 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
687 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
688 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
690 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
691 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
692 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
693 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
694 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
696 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
697 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
698 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
699 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
701 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
705 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
706 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
711 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
713 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
715 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
720 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
722 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
726 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
727 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
728 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
730 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
731 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
732 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
733 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
735 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
736 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
737 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
738 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
739 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
742 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
747 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
748 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
749 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
750 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
751 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
754 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
758 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
761 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
762 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
766 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
767 function (not just method). (doy)
771 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
772 and aren't easily installable/testable.
774 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
778 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
779 to be overridden more easily (doy).
781 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
785 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
786 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
788 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
792 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
793 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
794 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
796 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
800 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
801 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
802 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
804 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
805 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
809 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
810 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
812 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
813 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
817 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
818 is applied to a class (t0m).
820 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
821 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
823 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
826 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
827 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
829 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
830 be much more robust. (doy)
832 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
834 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
837 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
841 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
842 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
844 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
848 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
849 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
851 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
854 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
855 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
856 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
858 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
859 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
860 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
863 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
865 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
869 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
870 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
874 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
876 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
881 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
885 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
886 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
890 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
892 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
896 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
897 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
901 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
902 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
906 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
907 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
909 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
913 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
914 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
915 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
918 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
922 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
923 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
924 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
925 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
927 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
931 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
932 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
933 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
937 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
940 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
944 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
945 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
946 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
950 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
951 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
953 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
954 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
955 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
956 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
958 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
962 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
966 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
967 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
969 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
970 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
971 - Moose::Util::does_role
972 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
973 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
974 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
976 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
980 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
981 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
982 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
985 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
989 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
990 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
993 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
997 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
998 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1001 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1005 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1007 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1008 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1010 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1011 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1012 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1014 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1015 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1016 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1019 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1020 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1022 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1023 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1024 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1026 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1028 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1029 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1031 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1033 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1036 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1037 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1039 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1040 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1042 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1043 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1044 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1045 dependencies installed.
1047 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1048 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1051 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1053 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1057 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1060 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1061 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1063 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1064 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1065 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1067 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1068 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1071 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1072 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1073 others. (nothingmuch)
1075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1076 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1077 remove_accessors. (doy)
1079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1080 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1081 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1083 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1084 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1086 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1087 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1088 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1089 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1091 * Moose::Meta::Class
1092 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1093 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1096 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1098 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1100 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1101 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1104 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1105 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1106 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1107 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1108 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1110 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1112 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1113 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1114 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1115 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1116 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1119 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1120 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1121 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1122 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1123 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1125 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1126 which were not receiving the value of
1127 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1128 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1129 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1130 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1134 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1135 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1136 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1137 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1138 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1142 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1143 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1144 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1146 * Moose::Meta::Class
1147 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1148 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1149 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1152 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1154 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1157 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1158 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1161 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1162 class if you pass it options for
1163 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1164 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1165 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1166 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1167 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1168 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1169 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1171 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1173 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1174 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1175 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1176 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1177 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1180 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1182 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1183 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1186 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1187 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1188 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1189 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1190 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1193 * Moose::Error::Croak
1194 * Moose::Error::Confess
1195 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1196 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1199 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1202 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1203 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1204 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1206 * Moose::Meta::Class
1207 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1210 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1211 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1212 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1214 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1215 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1216 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1217 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1218 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1220 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1221 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1224 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1226 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1227 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1230 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1231 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1235 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1236 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1239 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1240 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1241 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1242 using it for new code!
1244 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1245 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1246 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1247 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1249 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1250 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1251 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1252 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1253 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1254 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1255 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1256 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1259 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1262 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1263 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1267 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1269 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1270 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1271 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1273 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1275 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1276 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1278 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1279 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1280 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1283 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1284 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1287 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1289 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1290 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1291 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1292 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1294 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1296 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1299 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1300 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1301 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1303 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1304 associated_methods. (hdp)
1305 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1306 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1307 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1308 misspelled) arguments
1310 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1311 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1312 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1313 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1317 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1319 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1322 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1323 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1324 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1327 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1328 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1330 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1331 * Moose::Meta::Class
1332 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1333 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1335 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1336 * Moose::Manual::Types
1337 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1338 string parsing rathole (mst)
1340 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1341 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1342 using plain objects instead
1344 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1345 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1346 that's what we need.
1348 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1349 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1350 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1351 three times today (perigrin)
1352 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1353 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1355 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1356 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1357 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1358 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1361 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1362 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1363 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1364 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1365 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1366 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1369 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1370 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1371 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1372 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1375 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1377 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1380 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1382 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1385 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1386 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1387 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1391 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1392 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1395 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1396 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1398 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1399 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1400 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1402 * Moose::Unsweetened
1403 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1405 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1406 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1409 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1413 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1414 methods during global destruction (doy)
1416 * Moose::Meta::Class
1417 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1418 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1419 consumption (Sartak)
1421 * Moose::Meta::Class
1422 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1423 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1426 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1427 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1430 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1431 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1433 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1435 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1439 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1440 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1441 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1444 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1445 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1446 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1449 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1451 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1452 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1453 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1456 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1457 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1458 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1459 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1461 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1462 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1463 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1466 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1469 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1470 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1471 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1475 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1476 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1478 * Moose::Meta::Class
1479 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1481 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1483 * Moose::Meta::Class
1484 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1485 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1488 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1489 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1492 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1493 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1496 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1499 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1501 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1502 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1505 * Moose::Meta::Class
1506 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1508 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1509 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1512 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1513 * More deprecations and renamings
1514 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1515 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1516 when an object is constructed)
1519 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1520 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1521 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1523 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1524 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1525 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1526 feature, and it works again.
1529 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1531 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1533 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1534 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1535 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1538 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1539 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1540 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1541 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1544 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1545 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1546 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1547 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1550 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1551 metaclass object. (hdp)
1553 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1554 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1555 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1556 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1557 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1558 point out this fact. (hdp)
1560 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1561 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1563 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1564 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1566 * Moose::Meta::Class
1567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1568 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1569 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1570 called during instance construction were passed the
1571 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1572 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1574 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1575 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1579 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1580 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1583 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1584 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1585 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1586 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1587 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1589 - Moose::Meta::Class
1590 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1592 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1593 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1594 when an object is constructed)
1595 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1597 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1598 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1599 when an object is constructed)
1600 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1601 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1602 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1605 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1607 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1608 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1610 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1612 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1613 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1614 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1617 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1618 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1620 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1622 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1623 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1625 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1626 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1629 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1630 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1633 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1634 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1635 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1637 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1638 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1642 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1643 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1644 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1646 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1647 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1650 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1651 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1652 with recommended workarounds.
1654 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1655 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1657 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1658 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1659 (yes, spelled like that).
1661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1662 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1664 * Moose::Meta::Class
1665 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1666 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1668 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1671 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1672 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1673 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1674 instead. Reported by doy.
1676 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1678 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1679 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1681 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1682 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1683 message) is now deprecated.
1684 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1685 often got it wrong. For example:
1687 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1689 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1693 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1694 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1695 bite you in weird cases.
1697 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1698 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1699 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1700 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1702 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1703 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1707 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1710 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1711 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1714 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1715 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1718 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1721 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1723 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1724 - added tests for this (stevan)
1726 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1727 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1728 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1729 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1733 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1734 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1735 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1736 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1738 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1739 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1740 - added tests for this (rafl)
1742 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1743 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1744 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1745 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1749 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1750 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1754 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1755 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1757 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1759 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1760 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1762 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1763 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1764 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1765 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1766 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1769 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1770 error message did not specify the attribute name
1773 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1775 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1777 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1778 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1779 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1782 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1785 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1787 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1788 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1789 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1790 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1792 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1794 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1795 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1796 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1797 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1800 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1801 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1804 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1805 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1806 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1807 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1809 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1810 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1811 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1812 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1813 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1816 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1817 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1818 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1819 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1820 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1822 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1823 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1824 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1825 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1826 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1827 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1829 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1830 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1832 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1833 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1834 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1835 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1838 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1841 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1845 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1846 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1848 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1849 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1850 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1851 guts. (nothingmuch).
1853 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1855 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1858 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1859 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1860 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1862 * Moose::Meta::Class
1863 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1866 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1867 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1870 * Moose::Unsweetened
1871 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1874 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1875 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1876 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1877 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1878 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1879 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1881 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1882 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1883 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1884 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1885 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1886 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1887 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1888 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1889 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1890 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1892 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1894 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1895 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1898 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1899 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1900 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1902 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1903 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1904 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1905 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1906 same methods for a single role did not work
1907 right (worked just fine with multiple
1909 - added test for this (stevan)
1911 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1912 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1913 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1916 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1917 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1918 - added test for this (t0m)
1921 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1922 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1923 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1925 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1926 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1927 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1928 - added test for this (t0m)
1930 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1931 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1932 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1933 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1934 - added test for this (perigrin)
1937 - create method for constructing a role
1938 dynamically (Sartak)
1939 - added test for this (Sartak)
1940 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1941 - added test for this (Sartak)
1944 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1946 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1947 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1948 methods is useful (Sartak)
1950 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1952 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1955 * Moose::Meta::Class
1956 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1957 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1958 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1959 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1960 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1961 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1964 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1965 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1967 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1968 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1969 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1970 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1971 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1973 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1975 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1976 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1977 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1980 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1981 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1982 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1983 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1984 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1985 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1989 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1990 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1991 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1992 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1993 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1994 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1995 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1996 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1997 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1998 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2000 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2001 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2004 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2005 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2006 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2007 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2008 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2010 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2012 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2013 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2014 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2016 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2017 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2020 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2021 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2022 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2025 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2026 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2028 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2030 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2031 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2033 * Moose::Meta::Class
2034 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2035 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2036 a required attribute
2038 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2039 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2040 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2041 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2043 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2044 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2047 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2048 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2049 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2050 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2051 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2052 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2053 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2055 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2056 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2057 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2059 * Roles and role application
2060 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2061 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2062 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2063 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2064 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2066 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2067 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2070 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2071 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2072 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2073 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2074 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2077 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2078 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2079 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2080 changes in the Moose internals.
2082 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2083 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2084 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2088 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2089 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2090 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2093 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2094 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2095 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2098 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2099 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2100 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2101 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2102 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2103 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2104 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2105 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2106 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2107 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2108 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2109 constraint implementations.
2111 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2115 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2116 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2117 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2118 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2119 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2120 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2121 - added tests for this (rafl)
2123 * Moose::Meta::Class
2124 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2125 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2126 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2127 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2128 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2129 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2130 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2131 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2134 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2135 - added tests for this (thepler)
2137 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2138 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2139 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2140 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2143 * Moose::Meta::Class
2144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2145 * Moose::Meta::Method
2148 * Moose::Error::Default
2149 * Moose::Error::Croak
2150 * Moose::Error::Confess
2151 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2152 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2153 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2154 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2155 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2156 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2158 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2160 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2161 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2163 * Moose::Unsweetened
2164 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2165 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2166 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2169 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2170 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2171 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2172 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2175 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2176 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2178 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2179 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2180 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2181 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2200 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2201 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2223 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2224 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2228 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2229 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2230 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2231 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2232 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2234 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2235 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2237 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2239 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2240 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2244 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2245 method when that method was provided by another role being
2246 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2247 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2249 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2256 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2257 - added test for this (t0m)
2259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2260 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2261 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2263 - added test for this (t0m)
2266 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2267 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2268 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2271 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2272 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2274 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2276 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2277 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2279 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2280 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2281 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2283 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2284 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2287 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2290 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2294 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2295 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2296 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2300 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2301 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2302 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2305 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2309 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2315 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2316 created so that the process can be more easily

2346 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2347 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2351 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2352 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2354 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2355 ... this is not my day today ...
2357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2358 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2359 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2360 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2361 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2364 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2365 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2366 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2367 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2368 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2371 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2373 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2374 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2375 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2376 this is not ever something you want to do
2377 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2378 - added tests for this (stevan)
2381 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2383 - added test for this

2392 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2394 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2395 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2396 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2399 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2401 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2403 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2406 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2407 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2408 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2409 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2410 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2411 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2412 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2413 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2414 - added tests for this
2416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2417 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2418 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2419 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2421 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2484 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2486 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2487 (early morning release engineering)--
2489 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2490 which was causing the indexer to choke
2492 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2493 (late night release engineering)--
2495 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2496 changes in this release
2498 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

2506 * Moose::Meta::Class
2508 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2509 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2512 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2513 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2514 method for immutablization to check if the
2515 destructor object even needs to be created
2518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2519 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2520 - added more descriptive error message to help
2521 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2522 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2524 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2526 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2527 XS based functionality is now optional
2528 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2529 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2530 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2532 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2533 to take care of this, mostly we added
2534 support for the package_name and name
2535 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2536 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2537 support regexp matching of names
2538 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2539 - tests added for this
2540 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2541 is currently not supported in roles,
2542 but, ... patches welcome
2543 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2544 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2545 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2548 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2549 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2550 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2551 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2552 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2553 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2554 - added test for this
2556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2557 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2558 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2561 * Moose::Meta::Class
2562 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2566 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2568 - added tests for this
2569 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2570 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2572 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2573 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2574 themselves parameterizable types
2576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2578 called by the inlined immutable
2580 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2582 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2583 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2584 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2585 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2587 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2588 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2600 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2603 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2604 ->body when looping through the
2605 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2607 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2608 eating the $@ values, and so not
2609 working correctly, it still kind of
2610 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2611 - added tests for this
2613 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2614 - added new recipe for immutable
2615 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2617 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2633 drink more coffee before
2634 doing release engineering
2636 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2637 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2638 modules. This fixes that.

2641 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2642 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2668 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2670 - added test for this
2672 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2751 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2753 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2793 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2795 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2796 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2797 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2798 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2799 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2801 - added more delegation tests
2802 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2803 support traits and their introspection.
2804 - added tests for this

3044 - added tests for this
3047 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3048 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3091 when they encounter overriden or modified
3092 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3093 - added tests for this
3095 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3101 - added more tests for this
3103 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3106 * Parameterized Types
3107 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3108 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3109 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3110 They can also be nested:
3111 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3112 And work with the type unions as well:
3113 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3115 * Better Framework Extendability
3116 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3117 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3118 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3119 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3122 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3123 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3124 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3125 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3128 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3130 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

3359 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3360 so that you can actually document your
3361 attributes and inspect them through the

3365 * Moose::Meta::Class
3366 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3367 it will first look in for the class in the
3368 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3369 then default to just loading $name.
3370 - added tests and docs for this
3372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3373 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3374 - added test for this
3377 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3378 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3379 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3380 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3382 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3383 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3386 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3388 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3389 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3390 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3393 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3394 !! for this developer release to work !!
3396 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3397 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3398 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3399 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3400 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3401 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3402 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3403 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3404 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3405 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3406 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3408 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3409 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3410 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3411 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3414 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3416 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3417 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3418 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3420 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3422 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3423 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3426 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3427 called unless they actually need to be.
3428 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3429 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3430 DEMOLISH method present.
3432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3433 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3434 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3435 type constraint, which allows for a
3436 hand optimized version of the type
3437 constraint to be used when possible.
3438 - Any internally created type constraints
3439 now provide an optimized version as well.
3441 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3443 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3444 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3445 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3447 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3448 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3449 your class namespace of these exported
3452 * Moose::Meta::Class
3453 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3454 comes up during global destruction
3456 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3460 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3464 - changed how we do type checks so that
3465 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3468 - moved accessor generation methods to
3469 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3470 conform to the API changes from
3473 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3474 - changed how constraints are compiled
3475 so that we do less recursion and more
3476 iteration. This makes the type check
3478 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3482 - created this from methods formerly found in
3483 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3485 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3486 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3489 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3492 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3494 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3497 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3498 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3499 - added tests for this
3500 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3501 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3502 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3503 - removed tests for this
3505 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3507 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3508 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3509 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3512 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3513 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3514 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3516 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3517 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3518 comments for more info.
3521 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3522 asked questions and common problems
3524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3525 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3526 - added tests for this
3528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3529 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3530 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3531 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3533 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3534 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3537 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3538 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3539 is much appreciated :)
3540 - added tests for this
3542 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3543 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3544 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3548 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3550 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3552 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3553 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3557 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3558 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3559 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3561 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3563 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3566 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3567 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3568 keywords because we need to localize them.
3569 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3571 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3572 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3573 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3576 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3579 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3580 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3581 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3584 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3585 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3586 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3588 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3590 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3591 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3592 bottom of your class file.
3595 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3598 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3600 - improved error message when loading modules so
3601 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3602 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3603 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3606 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3607 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3608 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3610 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3611 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3613 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3614 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3615 turn them on for you.
3616 - added tests for this
3617 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3618 in Moose::Meta::Class
3621 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3622 automatically turned on for you.

3644 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3645 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3646 - This release works in combination with
3647 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3648 release because it uses the a new
3649 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3650 complete Role implementation. It has
3651 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3652 the the previous CPAN version. This
3653 release also lacks good updated docs,
3654 the official release will have updated docs.
3657 - refactored the keyword exports
3658 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3659 accepts more than one Role at a time
3660 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3661 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3664 - refactored the keyword exports
3665 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3666 accepts more than one Role at a time
3668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3669 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3670 string enumerations which can be used as
3672 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3675 - more careful checking of params to new()
3678 - much work done on the role composition
3679 - many new tests for conflict detection
3680 and composition edge cases
3681 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3682 looking at the tests
3684 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3685 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3686 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3688 * Moose::Meta::Class

3691 - some small additions to support Roles
3693 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3694 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3696 - some small changes to support the new
3698 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3699 with the 'handles' option
3700 - added several tests for this
3701 - no docs for this yet
3703 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3705 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3706 thanks to chansen for this commit
3707 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3708 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3709 on a per-attribute basis
3710 - added tests for this
3711 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3712 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3713 experimental feature and probably not finished
3714 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3715 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3716 - added tests for this

3778 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3780 - added test for this
