2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0603 Thu, Jun 28, 2012
10 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
12 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
16 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
17 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
18 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
19 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
20 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
22 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
26 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
27 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
28 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
30 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
34 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
36 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
40 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
41 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
42 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
45 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
47 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
51 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
53 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
57 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
58 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
62 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
63 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
64 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
65 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
66 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
71 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
72 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
73 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
74 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
76 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
77 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
78 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
80 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
81 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
82 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
83 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
85 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
86 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
87 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
88 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
90 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
91 package which was deleted. (doy)
93 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
97 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
99 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
103 * Minor documentation fixes.
105 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
106 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
108 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
112 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
113 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
115 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
119 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
121 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
125 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
127 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
130 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
134 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
136 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
137 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
141 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
142 more values were required. (rjbs)
144 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
148 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
149 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
153 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
154 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
155 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
156 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
158 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
159 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
160 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
162 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
163 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
166 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
167 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
168 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
169 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
173 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
174 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
175 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
176 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
179 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
183 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
184 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
185 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
187 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
188 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
189 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
191 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
192 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
193 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
195 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
196 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
199 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
200 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
201 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
203 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
204 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
207 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
208 the associated stash. (doy)
212 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
213 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
214 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
215 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
217 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
221 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
222 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
223 the attribute's reference.
227 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
228 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
233 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
234 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
235 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
238 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
239 the Object constraint).
241 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
245 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
246 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
251 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
253 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
257 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
260 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
262 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
266 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
268 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
272 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
275 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
276 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
277 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
279 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
282 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
286 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
288 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
292 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
294 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
298 * Include changes from 2.0010.
300 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
304 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
305 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
309 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
310 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
311 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
316 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
318 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
322 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
323 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
325 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
329 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
331 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
335 * Various packaging issues.
337 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
341 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
342 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
347 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
348 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
349 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
353 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
354 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
355 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
357 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
361 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
362 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
364 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
368 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
369 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
371 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
374 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
375 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
379 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
380 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
382 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
386 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
387 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
391 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
393 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
397 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
399 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
403 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
404 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
406 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
410 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
412 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
416 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
418 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
419 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
421 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
425 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
426 skips every other role. (rjbs)
428 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
429 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
430 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
431 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
432 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
434 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
438 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
439 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
440 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
443 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
448 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
450 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
451 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
453 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
457 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
458 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
459 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
463 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
464 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
466 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
467 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
469 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
470 environments. (doy, mateu)
472 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
476 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
477 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
478 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
479 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
483 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
484 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
486 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
490 * Update conflicts list.
493 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
497 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
498 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
499 details. (Dave Rolsky)
501 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
502 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
503 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
504 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
505 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
509 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
510 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
511 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
512 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
513 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
516 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
520 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
521 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
523 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
526 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
530 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
531 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
532 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
533 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
535 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
536 immutable classes). (mo)
538 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
539 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
540 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
542 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
546 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
548 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
550 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
554 * Fix some indexing issues.
556 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
558 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
562 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
563 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
564 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
565 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
566 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
568 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
569 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
574 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
575 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
576 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
577 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
579 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
580 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
581 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
585 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
586 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
589 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
593 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
594 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
598 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
602 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
603 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
604 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
605 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
608 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
612 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
615 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
619 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
620 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
621 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
624 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
628 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
629 policy. (Chris Prather)
631 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
632 on this new support policy. (doy)
636 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
637 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
638 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
640 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
641 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
643 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
647 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
648 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
649 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
650 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
653 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
657 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
658 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
661 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
665 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
666 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
668 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
669 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
673 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
674 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
675 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
676 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
677 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
678 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
680 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
681 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
683 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
684 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
685 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
686 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
688 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
689 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
691 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
696 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
697 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
699 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
703 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
704 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
705 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
707 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
711 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
712 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
713 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
715 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
716 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
719 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
720 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
723 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
724 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
725 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
727 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
728 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
733 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
734 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
735 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
736 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
738 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
739 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
741 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
742 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
744 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
745 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
746 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
747 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
749 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
750 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
751 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
754 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
755 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
756 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
757 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
759 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
760 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
763 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
764 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
765 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
767 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
771 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
772 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
773 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
775 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
776 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
777 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
780 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
781 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
782 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
784 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
785 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
786 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
788 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
789 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
793 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
794 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
795 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
797 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
798 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
799 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
800 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
802 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
806 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
807 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
808 value is a reference.
810 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
811 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
813 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
817 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
818 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
819 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
821 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
825 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
826 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
830 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
831 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
832 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
834 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
835 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
836 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
838 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
842 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
844 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
848 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
850 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
851 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
856 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
857 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
859 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
860 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
861 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
862 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
863 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
865 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
866 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
867 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
868 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
870 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
874 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
875 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
880 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
882 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
884 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
889 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
891 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
895 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
896 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
897 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
899 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
900 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
901 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
902 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
904 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
905 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
906 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
907 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
908 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
911 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
916 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
917 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
918 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
919 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
920 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
923 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
927 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
930 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
931 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
935 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
936 function (not just method). (doy)
940 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
941 and aren't easily installable/testable.
943 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
947 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
948 to be overridden more easily (doy).
950 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
954 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
955 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
957 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
961 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
962 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
963 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
965 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
969 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
970 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
971 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
973 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
974 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
978 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
979 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
981 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
982 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
986 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
987 is applied to a class (t0m).
989 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
990 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
992 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
995 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
996 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
998 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
999 be much more robust. (doy)
1001 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1003 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1006 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1010 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1011 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1013 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1017 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1018 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1020 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1023 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1024 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1025 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1027 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1028 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1029 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1032 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1034 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1038 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1039 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1043 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1045 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1049 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1050 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1054 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1055 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1059 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1061 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1065 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1066 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1070 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1071 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1075 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1076 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1078 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1082 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1083 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1084 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1087 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1091 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1092 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1093 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1094 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1096 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1100 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1101 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1102 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1106 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1107 (Michael G. Schwern)
1109 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1113 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1114 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1115 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1119 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1120 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1122 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1123 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1124 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1125 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1127 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1131 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1135 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1136 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1138 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1139 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1140 - Moose::Util::does_role
1141 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1142 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1143 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1145 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1149 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1150 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1151 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1154 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1158 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1159 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1162 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1166 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1167 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1174 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1176 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1177 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1179 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1180 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1181 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1184 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1185 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1188 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1189 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1191 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1192 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1193 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1195 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1197 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1198 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1200 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1202 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1205 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1206 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1208 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1209 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1211 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1212 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1213 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1214 dependencies installed.
1216 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1217 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1220 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1222 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1226 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1229 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1230 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1232 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1233 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1234 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1236 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1237 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1240 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1241 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1242 others. (nothingmuch)
1244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1245 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1246 remove_accessors. (doy)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1249 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1250 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1253 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1255 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1256 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1257 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1258 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Class
1261 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1262 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1265 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1267 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1269 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1270 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1274 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1275 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1276 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1277 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1279 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1280 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1282 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1283 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1284 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1285 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1288 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1289 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1290 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1291 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1292 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1294 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1295 which were not receiving the value of
1296 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1297 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1298 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1299 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1303 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1304 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1305 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1306 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1307 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1310 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1311 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1312 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1313 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Class
1316 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1317 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1318 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1321 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1322 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1323 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1326 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1327 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1330 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1331 class if you pass it options for
1332 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1333 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1334 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1335 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1336 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1337 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1338 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1339 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1340 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1342 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1343 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1344 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1345 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1346 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1349 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1351 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1352 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1355 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1356 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1357 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1358 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1359 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1362 * Moose::Error::Croak
1363 * Moose::Error::Confess
1364 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1365 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1368 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1371 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1372 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1373 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1375 * Moose::Meta::Class
1376 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1379 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1380 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1381 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1383 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1384 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1385 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1386 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1387 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1389 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1390 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1393 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1395 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1396 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1399 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1400 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1404 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1405 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1408 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1409 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1410 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1411 using it for new code!
1413 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1414 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1415 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1416 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1418 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1419 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1420 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1421 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1422 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1423 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1424 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1425 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1428 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1431 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1432 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1436 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1438 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1439 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1440 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1442 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1443 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1444 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1445 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1447 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1448 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1449 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1452 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1453 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1456 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1457 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1458 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1459 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1460 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1461 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1463 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1465 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1469 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1470 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1472 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1473 associated_methods. (hdp)
1474 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1475 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1476 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1477 misspelled) arguments
1479 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1480 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1481 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1482 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1486 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1488 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1492 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1493 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1496 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1497 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1499 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1500 * Moose::Meta::Class
1501 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1502 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1504 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1505 * Moose::Manual::Types
1506 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1507 string parsing rathole (mst)
1509 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1510 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1511 using plain objects instead
1513 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1514 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1515 that's what we need.
1517 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1518 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1519 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1520 three times today (perigrin)
1521 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1522 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1524 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1525 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1526 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1527 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1530 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1531 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1532 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1533 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1534 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1535 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1538 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1539 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1540 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1541 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1544 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1546 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1549 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1551 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1554 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1555 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1556 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1560 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1561 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1564 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1565 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1567 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1568 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1569 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1571 * Moose::Unsweetened
1572 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1574 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1575 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1578 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1582 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1583 methods during global destruction (doy)
1585 * Moose::Meta::Class
1586 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1587 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1588 consumption (Sartak)
1590 * Moose::Meta::Class
1591 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1592 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1595 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1596 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1599 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1600 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1602 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1604 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1608 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1609 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1610 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1613 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1614 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1615 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1618 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1620 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1621 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1622 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1625 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1626 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1627 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1628 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1630 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1631 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1632 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1635 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1638 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1639 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1640 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1644 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1645 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1647 * Moose::Meta::Class
1648 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1650 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1652 * Moose::Meta::Class
1653 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1654 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1657 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1658 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1661 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1662 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1665 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1668 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1671 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1674 * Moose::Meta::Class
1675 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1677 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1678 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1681 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1682 * More deprecations and renamings
1683 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1684 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1685 when an object is constructed)
1688 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1689 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1690 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1693 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1694 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1695 feature, and it works again.
1698 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1700 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1702 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1703 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1704 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1707 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1708 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1709 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1710 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1712 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1713 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1714 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1715 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1716 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1719 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1720 metaclass object. (hdp)
1722 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1723 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1724 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1725 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1726 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1727 point out this fact. (hdp)
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1730 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1733 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1735 * Moose::Meta::Class
1736 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1737 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1738 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1739 called during instance construction were passed the
1740 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1741 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1743 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1744 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1747 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1748 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1749 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1752 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1753 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1754 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1755 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1756 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1758 - Moose::Meta::Class
1759 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1761 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1762 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1763 when an object is constructed)
1764 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1766 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1767 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1768 when an object is constructed)
1769 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1770 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1771 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1774 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1776 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1777 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1779 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1781 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1782 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1783 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1786 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1787 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1789 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1791 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1792 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1794 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1795 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1798 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1799 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1802 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1803 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1804 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1807 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1811 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1812 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1813 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1815 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1816 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1819 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1820 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1821 with recommended workarounds.
1823 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1824 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1827 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1828 (yes, spelled like that).
1830 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1831 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1833 * Moose::Meta::Class
1834 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1835 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1837 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1839 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1840 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1841 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1842 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1843 instead. Reported by doy.
1845 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1847 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1848 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1851 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1852 message) is now deprecated.
1853 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1854 often got it wrong. For example:
1856 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1858 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1862 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1863 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1864 bite you in weird cases.
1866 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1867 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1868 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1869 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1871 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1872 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1876 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1879 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1880 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1883 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1884 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1886 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1887 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1890 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1892 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1893 - added tests for this (stevan)
1895 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1896 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1897 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1898 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1902 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1903 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1904 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1905 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1907 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1908 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1909 - added tests for this (rafl)
1911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1912 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1913 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1914 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1918 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1919 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1922 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1923 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1924 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1926 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1928 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1929 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1931 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1932 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1933 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1934 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1935 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1938 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1939 error message did not specify the attribute name
1942 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1944 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1946 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1947 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1948 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1951 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1954 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1956 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1957 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1958 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1959 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1961 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1963 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1964 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1965 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1966 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1969 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1970 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1973 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1974 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1975 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1976 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1979 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1980 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1981 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1982 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1985 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1986 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1987 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1988 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1989 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1991 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1992 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1993 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1994 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1995 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1996 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1998 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1999 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2001 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2002 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2003 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2004 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2006 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2007 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2010 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2014 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2015 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2017 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2018 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2019 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2020 guts. (nothingmuch).
2022 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2024 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2027 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2028 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2029 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2031 * Moose::Meta::Class
2032 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2035 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2036 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2038 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2039 * Moose::Unsweetened
2040 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2043 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2044 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2045 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2046 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2047 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2048 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2051 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2052 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2053 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2054 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2055 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2056 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2057 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2058 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2059 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2061 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2063 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2064 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2066 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2067 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2068 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2069 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2071 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2072 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2073 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2074 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2075 same methods for a single role did not work
2076 right (worked just fine with multiple
2078 - added test for this (stevan)
2080 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2081 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2082 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2085 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2086 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2087 - added test for this (t0m)
2090 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2091 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2092 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2095 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2096 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2097 - added test for this (t0m)
2099 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2100 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2101 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2102 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2103 - added test for this (perigrin)
2106 - create method for constructing a role
2107 dynamically (Sartak)
2108 - added test for this (Sartak)
2109 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2110 - added test for this (Sartak)
2113 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2115 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2116 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2117 methods is useful (Sartak)
2119 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2121 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2124 * Moose::Meta::Class
2125 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2126 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2127 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2128 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2129 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2130 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2133 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2134 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2136 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2137 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2138 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2139 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2140 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2142 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2144 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2145 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2146 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2149 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2150 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2151 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2152 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2153 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2154 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2157 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2158 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2159 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2160 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2161 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2162 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2163 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2164 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2165 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2166 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2167 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2169 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2170 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2174 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2175 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2176 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2177 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2179 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2181 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2182 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2183 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2185 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2186 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2189 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2190 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2191 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2194 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2195 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2197 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2199 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2200 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2202 * Moose::Meta::Class
2203 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2204 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2205 a required attribute
2207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2209 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2210 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2213 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2215 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2216 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2217 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2218 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2219 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2220 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2221 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2222 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2224 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2225 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2226 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2228 * Roles and role application
2229 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2230 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2231 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2232 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2233 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2235 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2236 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2239 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2240 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2241 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2242 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2243 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2246 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2247 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2248 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2249 changes in the Moose internals.
2251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2253 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2256 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2257 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2258 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2259 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2261 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2262 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2263 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2264 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2267 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2268 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2269 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2270 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2271 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2272 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2273 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2274 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2275 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2276 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2277 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2278 constraint implementations.
2280 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2284 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2285 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2286 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2287 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2288 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2289 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2290 - added tests for this (rafl)
2292 * Moose::Meta::Class
2293 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2294 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2295 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2296 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2297 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2298 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2299 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2300 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2303 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2304 - added tests for this (thepler)
2306 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2307 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2308 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2309 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2312 * Moose::Meta::Class
2313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2314 * Moose::Meta::Method
2317 * Moose::Error::Default
2318 * Moose::Error::Croak
2319 * Moose::Error::Confess
2320 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2321 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2322 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2323 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2324 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2325 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2327 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2329 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2330 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2332 * Moose::Unsweetened
2333 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2334 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2335 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2337 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2338 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2339 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2340 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2341 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2344 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2345 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2347 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2348 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2349 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2350 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2353 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2355 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2356 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2358 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2361 - Various bug fixes.
2363 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2364 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2366 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2368 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2369 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2370 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2371 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2372 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2373 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2375 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2376 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2377 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2379 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2380 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2381 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2384 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2385 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2386 dependency to 0.64_07.
2388 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2389 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2390 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2392 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2393 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2396 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2397 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2398 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2399 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2400 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2401 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2403 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2404 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2406 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2408 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2409 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2413 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2414 method when that method was provided by another role being
2415 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2416 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2418 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2420 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2421 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2423 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2424 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2425 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2426 - added test for this (t0m)
2428 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2429 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2430 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2432 - added test for this (t0m)
2435 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2436 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2437 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2440 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2441 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2443 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2445 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2446 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2448 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2449 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2450 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2452 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2453 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2456 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2457 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2458 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2459 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2463 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2464 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2465 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2468 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2469 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2470 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2471 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2474 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2478 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2479 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2480 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2482 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2484 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2485 created so that the process can be more easily
2486 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2488 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2489 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2490 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2491 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2494 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2497 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2498 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2500 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2501 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2502 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2504 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2505 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2506 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2508 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2509 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2511 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2512 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2515 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2516 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2520 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2521 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2523 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2524 ... this is not my day today ...
2526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2527 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2528 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2529 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2530 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2533 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2534 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2535 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2536 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2537 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2540 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2542 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2543 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2544 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2545 this is not ever something you want to do
2546 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2547 - added tests for this (stevan)
2550 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2552 - added test for this
2554 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2555 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2556 - added tests for this (wreis)
2558 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2559 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2560 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2561 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2563 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2564 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2565 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2568 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2570 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2572 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2575 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2576 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2577 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2578 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2579 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2580 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2581 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2582 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2583 - added tests for this
2585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2586 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2587 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2588 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2590 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2592 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2593 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2594 - added tests for this (sartak)
2595 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2596 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2599 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2602 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2604 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2605 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2606 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2607 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2609 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2611 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2612 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2615 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2617 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2620 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2621 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2623 - added docs for this (TODO).
2624 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2625 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2626 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2627 - fix builder and default both being used
2632 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2634 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2635 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2636 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2640 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2644 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2645 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2646 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2648 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2649 - move the ClassName type check code to
2650 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2652 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2653 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2655 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2656 (early morning release engineering)--
2658 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2659 which was causing the indexer to choke
2661 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2662 (late night release engineering)--
2664 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2665 changes in this release
2667 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2668 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2669 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2671 * Moose::Meta::Class
2672 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2673 since it is called so often by &meta
2675 * Moose::Meta::Class
2677 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2678 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2681 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2682 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2683 method for immutablization to check if the
2684 destructor object even needs to be created
2687 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2688 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2689 - added more descriptive error message to help
2690 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2691 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2693 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2695 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2696 XS based functionality is now optional
2697 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2698 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2699 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2701 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2702 to take care of this, mostly we added
2703 support for the package_name and name
2704 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2705 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2706 support regexp matching of names
2707 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2708 - tests added for this
2709 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2710 is currently not supported in roles,
2711 but, ... patches welcome
2712 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2713 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2714 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2717 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2718 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2719 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2720 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2721 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2722 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2723 - added test for this
2725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2726 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2727 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2730 * Moose::Meta::Class
2731 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2735 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2737 - added tests for this
2738 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2739 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2742 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2743 themselves parameterizable types
2745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2746 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2747 called by the inlined immutable
2749 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2751 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2752 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2753 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2754 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2756 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2757 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2761 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2762 causing occasional cpantester failures
2763 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2764 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2766 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2768 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2769 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2772 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2773 ->body when looping through the
2774 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2776 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2777 eating the $@ values, and so not
2778 working correctly, it still kind of
2779 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2780 - added tests for this
2782 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2783 - added new recipe for immutable
2784 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2786 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2787 - added new recipe for builder and

2920 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2922 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3261 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3262 - added tests for this

3272 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3275 * Parameterized Types
3276 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3277 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3278 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3279 They can also be nested:
3280 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3281 And work with the type unions as well:
3282 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3284 * Better Framework Extendability
3285 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3286 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3287 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3288 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3291 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3292 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3293 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3294 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3464 merlyn for finding this bug
3465 - tests added for this
3466 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3469 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3470 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3471 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3472 - added tests for this
3474 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3476 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3489 where not handled correctly in roles
3490 - added tests for this
3492 * Moose::Meta::Class
3493 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3494 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3495 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3497 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3498 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

3501 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3502 so this release is just to fix that.
3505 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3506 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3507 (thanks to konobi for this)
3508 - added tests and docs
3510 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3513 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3514 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3515 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3516 - added tests for this
3517 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3518 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3519 functions to facilitate introspection.
3521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3522 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3523 to build the list of delegated methods
3524 correctly (and not override important
3525 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3527 - added tests and docs for this
3528 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3529 so that you can actually document your
3530 attributes and inspect them through the
3532 - added tests and docs for this
3534 * Moose::Meta::Class
3535 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3536 it will first look in for the class in the
3537 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3538 then default to just loading $name.
3539 - added tests and docs for this
3541 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3542 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3543 - added test for this
3546 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3547 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3548 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3549 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3551 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3552 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3555 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3557 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3558 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3559 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3562 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3563 !! for this developer release to work !!
3565 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3566 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3567 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3568 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3569 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3570 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3571 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3572 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3573 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3574 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3575 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3577 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3578 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3579 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3580 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3583 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3584 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3585 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3586 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3587 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3589 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3591 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3592 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3595 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3596 called unless they actually need to be.
3597 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3598 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3599 DEMOLISH method present.
3601 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3602 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3603 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3604 type constraint, which allows for a
3605 hand optimized version of the type
3606 constraint to be used when possible.
3607 - Any internally created type constraints
3608 now provide an optimized version as well.
3610 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3612 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3613 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3614 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3617 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3618 your class namespace of these exported
3621 * Moose::Meta::Class
3622 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3623 comes up during global destruction
3625 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3629 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3632 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3633 - changed how we do type checks so that
3634 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3637 - moved accessor generation methods to
3638 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3639 conform to the API changes from
3642 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3643 - changed how constraints are compiled
3644 so that we do less recursion and more
3645 iteration. This makes the type check
3647 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3651 - created this from methods formerly found in
3652 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3654 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3655 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3657 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3658 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3661 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3663 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3665 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3666 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3667 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3668 - added tests for this
3669 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3670 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3671 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3672 - removed tests for this
3674 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3676 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3677 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3678 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3681 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3682 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3683 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3685 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3686 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3687 comments for more info.
3690 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3691 asked questions and common problems
3693 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3694 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3695 - added tests for this
3697 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3698 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3699 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3700 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3702 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3703 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3706 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3707 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3708 is much appreciated :)
3709 - added tests for this
3711 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3712 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3713 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3716 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3717 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3719 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3721 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3722 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3726 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3727 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3728 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3730 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3732 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3735 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3736 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3737 keywords because we need to localize them.
3738 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3740 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3741 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3742 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3745 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3748 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3749 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3750 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3753 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3754 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3755 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3757 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3759 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3760 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3761 bottom of your class file.
3764 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3767 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3769 - improved error message when loading modules so
3770 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3771 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3772 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3775 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3776 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3777 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3779 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3780 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3782 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3783 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3784 turn them on for you.
3785 - added tests for this
3786 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3787 in Moose::Meta::Class

3814 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3815 - This release works in combination with
3816 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3817 release because it uses the a new
3818 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3819 complete Role implementation. It has
3820 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3821 the the previous CPAN version. This
3822 release also lacks good updated docs,
3823 the official release will have updated docs.
3826 - refactored the keyword exports
3827 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3828 accepts more than one Role at a time

3834 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3835 accepts more than one Role at a time
3837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3839 string enumerations which can be used as
3841 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3844 - more careful checking of params to new()
3847 - much work done on the role composition
3848 - many new tests for conflict detection
3849 and composition edge cases
3850 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3851 looking at the tests
3853 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3854 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3855 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3865 - some small changes to support the new
3867 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3868 with the 'handles' option

3874 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3875 thanks to chansen for this commit
3876 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3877 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3878 on a per-attribute basis
3879 - added tests for this
3880 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3881 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
