1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
9 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
10 the attribute's reference.
14 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
15 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
16 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
17 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
20 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
21 sensible error (Dave Rolsky)
25 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
26 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
27 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. (sartak)
29 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
30 the Object constraint)
34 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
35 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
37 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
38 now deprecated. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality,
39 and you should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * The Class::MOP::load_first_existing_class subroutine is also
42 deprecated. This was removed from the docs a long time ago, but has never
43 actually been deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
45 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
49 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
50 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
55 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
57 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
61 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
64 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
66 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
70 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
72 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
76 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
79 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
80 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
81 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
83 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
86 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
90 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
92 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
96 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
98 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
102 * Include changes from 2.0010.
104 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
108 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
109 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
113 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
114 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
115 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
120 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
122 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
126 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
127 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
129 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
133 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
135 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
139 * Various packaging issues.
141 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
145 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
146 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
151 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
152 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
153 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
157 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
158 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
159 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
161 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
165 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
166 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
168 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
172 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
173 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
175 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
178 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
179 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
183 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
184 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
186 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
190 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
191 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
195 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
197 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
201 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
203 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
207 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
208 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
210 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
214 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
216 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
220 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
222 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
223 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
225 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
229 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
230 skips every other role. (rjbs)
232 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
233 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
234 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
235 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
236 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
238 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
242 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
243 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
244 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
247 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
252 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
254 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
255 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
257 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
261 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
262 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
263 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
267 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
268 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
270 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
271 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
273 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
274 environments. (doy, mateu)
276 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
280 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
281 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
282 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
283 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
287 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
288 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
290 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
294 * Update conflicts list.
297 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
301 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
302 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
303 details. (Dave Rolsky)
305 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
306 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
307 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
308 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
309 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
313 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
314 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
315 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
316 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
317 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
320 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
324 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
325 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
327 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
330 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
334 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
335 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
336 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
337 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
339 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
340 immutable classes). (mo)
342 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
343 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
344 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
346 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
350 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
352 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
354 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
358 * Fix some indexing issues.
360 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
362 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
366 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
367 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
368 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
369 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
370 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
372 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
373 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
378 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
379 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
380 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
381 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
383 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
384 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
385 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
389 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
390 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
393 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
397 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
398 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
402 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
406 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
407 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
408 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
409 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
412 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
416 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
419 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
423 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
424 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
425 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
428 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
432 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
433 policy. (Chris Prather)
435 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
436 on this new support policy. (doy)
440 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
441 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
442 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
444 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
445 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
447 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
451 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
452 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
453 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
454 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
457 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
461 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
462 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
465 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
469 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
470 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
472 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
473 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
477 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
478 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
479 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
480 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
481 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
482 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
484 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
485 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
487 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
488 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
489 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
490 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
492 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
493 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
495 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
500 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
501 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
503 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
507 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
508 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
509 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
511 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
515 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
516 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
517 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
519 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
520 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
523 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
524 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
527 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
528 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
529 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
531 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
532 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
537 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
538 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
539 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
540 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
542 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
543 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
545 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
546 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
548 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
549 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
550 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
551 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
553 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
554 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
555 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
558 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
559 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
560 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
561 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
563 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
564 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
567 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
568 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
569 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
571 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
575 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
576 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
577 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
579 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
580 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
581 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
584 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
585 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
586 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
588 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
589 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
590 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
592 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
593 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
597 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
598 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
599 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
601 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
602 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
603 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
604 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
606 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
610 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
611 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
612 value is a reference.
614 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
615 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
617 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
621 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
622 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
623 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
625 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
629 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
630 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
634 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
635 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
636 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
638 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
639 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
640 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
642 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
646 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
648 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
652 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
654 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
655 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
660 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
661 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
663 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
664 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
665 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
666 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
667 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
669 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
670 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
671 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
672 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
674 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
678 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
679 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
684 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
686 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
688 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
693 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
695 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
699 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
700 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
701 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
703 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
704 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
705 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
706 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
708 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
709 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
710 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
711 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
712 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
715 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
720 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
721 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
722 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
723 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
724 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
727 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
731 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
734 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
735 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
739 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
740 function (not just method). (doy)
744 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
745 and aren't easily installable/testable.
747 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
751 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
752 to be overridden more easily (doy).
754 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
758 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
759 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
761 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
765 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
766 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
767 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
769 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
773 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
774 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
775 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
777 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
778 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
782 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
783 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
785 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
786 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
790 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
791 is applied to a class (t0m).
793 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
794 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
796 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
799 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
800 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
802 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
803 be much more robust. (doy)
805 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
807 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
810 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
814 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
815 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
817 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
821 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
822 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
824 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
827 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
828 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
829 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
831 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
832 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
833 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
836 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
838 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
842 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
843 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
847 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
849 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
854 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
858 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
859 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
863 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
865 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
869 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
870 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
874 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
875 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
879 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
880 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
882 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
886 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
887 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
888 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
891 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
895 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
896 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
897 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
898 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
900 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
904 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
905 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
906 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
910 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
913 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
918 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
919 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
923 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
924 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
926 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
927 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
928 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
929 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
931 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
935 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
939 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
940 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
942 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
943 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
944 - Moose::Util::does_role
945 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
946 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
947 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
949 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
953 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
954 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
955 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
958 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
962 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
963 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
966 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
970 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
971 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
974 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
978 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
980 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
981 class. (Dave Rolsky).
983 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
984 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
985 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
987 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
988 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
989 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
992 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
993 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
995 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
996 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
997 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
999 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1001 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1002 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1004 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1006 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1009 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1010 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1012 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1013 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1015 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1016 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1017 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1018 dependencies installed.
1020 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1021 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1024 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1026 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1030 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1033 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1034 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1037 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1038 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1040 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1041 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1044 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1045 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1046 others. (nothingmuch)
1048 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1049 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1050 remove_accessors. (doy)
1052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1053 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1054 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1056 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1057 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1059 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1060 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1061 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1062 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1064 * Moose::Meta::Class
1065 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1066 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1069 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1071 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1073 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1074 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1077 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1078 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1079 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1080 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1081 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1083 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1086 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1087 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1088 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1089 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1092 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1093 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1094 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1095 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1096 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1098 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1099 which were not receiving the value of
1100 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1101 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1102 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1103 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1107 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1108 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1109 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1110 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1111 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1115 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1116 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1117 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1119 * Moose::Meta::Class
1120 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1121 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1122 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1125 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1127 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1130 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1131 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1134 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1135 class if you pass it options for
1136 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1137 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1138 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1139 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1140 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1141 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1142 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1143 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1144 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1146 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1147 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1148 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1149 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1150 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1153 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1154 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1155 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1156 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1159 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1160 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1161 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1162 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1163 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1166 * Moose::Error::Croak
1167 * Moose::Error::Confess
1168 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1169 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1172 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1175 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1176 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1177 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Class
1180 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1183 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1184 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1185 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1187 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1188 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1189 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1190 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1191 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1194 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1197 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1199 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1200 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1203 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1204 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1207 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1208 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1209 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1212 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1213 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1214 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1215 using it for new code!
1217 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1218 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1219 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1220 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1222 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1223 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1224 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1225 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1226 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1227 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1228 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1229 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1232 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1235 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1236 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1240 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1243 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1244 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1246 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1248 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1249 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1251 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1252 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1253 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1256 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1257 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1260 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1262 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1263 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1264 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1265 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1267 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1269 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1273 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1274 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1276 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1277 associated_methods. (hdp)
1278 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1279 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1280 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1281 misspelled) arguments
1283 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1284 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1285 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1286 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1289 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1290 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1292 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1296 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1297 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1300 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1301 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1303 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1304 * Moose::Meta::Class
1305 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1306 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1308 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1309 * Moose::Manual::Types
1310 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1311 string parsing rathole (mst)
1313 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1314 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1315 using plain objects instead
1317 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1318 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1319 that's what we need.
1321 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1322 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1323 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1324 three times today (perigrin)
1325 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1326 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1329 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1330 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1331 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1334 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1335 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1336 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1337 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1338 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1339 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1342 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1343 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1344 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1345 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1348 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1350 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1353 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1355 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1358 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1359 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1360 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1364 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1365 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1368 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1369 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1371 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1372 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1373 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1375 * Moose::Unsweetened
1376 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1378 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1379 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1382 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1386 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1387 methods during global destruction (doy)
1389 * Moose::Meta::Class
1390 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1391 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1392 consumption (Sartak)
1394 * Moose::Meta::Class
1395 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1396 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1399 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1400 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1403 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1404 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1406 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1408 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1412 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1413 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1414 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1417 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1418 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1419 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1422 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1424 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1425 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1426 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1430 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1431 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1432 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1434 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1435 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1436 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1439 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1442 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1443 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1444 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1448 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1449 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1451 * Moose::Meta::Class
1452 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1454 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1456 * Moose::Meta::Class
1457 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1458 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1461 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1462 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1465 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1466 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1469 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1472 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1475 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1478 * Moose::Meta::Class
1479 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1481 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1482 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1485 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1486 * More deprecations and renamings
1487 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1488 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1489 when an object is constructed)
1492 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1493 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1494 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1496 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1497 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1498 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1499 feature, and it works again.
1502 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1504 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1506 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1507 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1508 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1510 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1511 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1512 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1513 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1514 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1516 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1517 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1518 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1519 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1520 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1523 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1524 metaclass object. (hdp)
1526 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1527 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1528 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1529 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1530 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1531 point out this fact. (hdp)
1533 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1534 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1537 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1539 * Moose::Meta::Class
1540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1541 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1542 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1543 called during instance construction were passed the
1544 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1545 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1547 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1548 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1551 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1552 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1553 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1556 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1557 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1558 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1559 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1560 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1562 - Moose::Meta::Class
1563 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1565 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1566 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1567 when an object is constructed)
1568 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1570 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1571 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1572 when an object is constructed)
1573 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1574 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1575 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1578 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1580 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1581 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1583 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1585 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1586 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1587 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1589 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1590 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1591 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1593 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1595 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1596 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1598 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1599 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1602 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1603 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1606 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1607 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1608 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1611 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1615 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1616 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1617 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1620 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1623 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1624 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1625 with recommended workarounds.
1627 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1628 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1630 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1631 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1632 (yes, spelled like that).
1634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1635 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1637 * Moose::Meta::Class
1638 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1639 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1641 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1644 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1645 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1646 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1647 instead. Reported by doy.
1649 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1651 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1652 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1654 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1655 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1656 message) is now deprecated.
1657 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1658 often got it wrong. For example:
1660 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1662 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1666 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1667 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1668 bite you in weird cases.
1670 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1671 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1672 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1673 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1675 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1676 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1680 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1683 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1684 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1687 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1688 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1691 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1694 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1695 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1696 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1697 - added tests for this (stevan)
1699 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1700 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1701 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1702 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1706 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1707 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1708 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1709 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1711 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1712 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1713 - added tests for this (rafl)
1715 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1716 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1717 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1718 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1722 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1723 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1726 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1727 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1728 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1730 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1732 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1733 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1736 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1737 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1738 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1739 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1742 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1743 error message did not specify the attribute name
1746 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1748 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1750 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1751 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1752 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1755 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1758 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1760 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1761 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1762 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1763 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1765 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1767 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1768 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1769 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1770 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1772 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1773 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1774 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1777 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1778 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1779 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1780 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1782 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1783 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1784 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1785 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1786 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1789 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1790 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1791 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1792 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1793 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1795 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1796 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1797 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1798 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1799 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1800 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1802 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1803 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1805 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1806 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1807 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1808 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1810 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1811 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1814 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1818 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1819 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1821 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1822 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1823 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1824 guts. (nothingmuch).
1826 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1827 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1828 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1831 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1832 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1833 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1835 * Moose::Meta::Class
1836 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1839 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1840 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1842 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1843 * Moose::Unsweetened
1844 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1847 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1848 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1849 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1850 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1851 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1852 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1855 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1856 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1857 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1858 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1859 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1860 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1861 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1862 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1863 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1865 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1867 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1868 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1870 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1871 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1872 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1873 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1876 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1877 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1878 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1879 same methods for a single role did not work
1880 right (worked just fine with multiple
1882 - added test for this (stevan)
1884 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1885 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1886 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1889 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1890 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1891 - added test for this (t0m)
1894 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1895 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1896 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1898 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1899 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1900 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1901 - added test for this (t0m)
1903 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1904 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1905 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1906 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1907 - added test for this (perigrin)
1910 - create method for constructing a role
1911 dynamically (Sartak)
1912 - added test for this (Sartak)
1913 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1914 - added test for this (Sartak)
1917 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1919 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1920 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1921 methods is useful (Sartak)
1923 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1925 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1928 * Moose::Meta::Class
1929 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1930 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1931 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1932 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1933 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1934 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1937 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1938 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1940 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1941 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1942 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1943 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1944 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1946 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1948 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1949 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1950 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1953 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1954 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1955 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1956 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1957 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1958 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1961 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1962 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1963 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1964 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1965 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1966 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1967 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1968 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1969 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1970 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1971 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1973 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1974 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1978 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1979 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1980 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1981 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1983 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1985 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1986 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1987 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1989 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1990 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1993 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1994 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1995 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1998 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1999 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2001 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2003 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2004 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2006 * Moose::Meta::Class
2007 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2008 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2009 a required attribute
2011 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2012 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2013 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2014 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2017 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2020 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2021 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2022 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2023 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2024 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2025 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2026 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2028 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2029 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2030 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2032 * Roles and role application
2033 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2034 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2035 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2036 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2037 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2039 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2040 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2043 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2044 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2045 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2046 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2047 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2050 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2051 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2052 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2053 changes in the Moose internals.
2055 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2056 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2057 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2060 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2061 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2062 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2063 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2065 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2066 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2067 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2068 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2071 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2072 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2073 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2074 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2075 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2076 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2077 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2078 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2079 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2080 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2081 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2082 constraint implementations.
2084 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2088 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2089 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2090 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2091 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2092 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2093 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2094 - added tests for this (rafl)
2096 * Moose::Meta::Class
2097 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2098 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2099 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2100 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2101 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2102 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2103 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2104 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2107 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2108 - added tests for this (thepler)
2110 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2111 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2112 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2113 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2116 * Moose::Meta::Class
2117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2118 * Moose::Meta::Method
2121 * Moose::Error::Default
2122 * Moose::Error::Croak
2123 * Moose::Error::Confess
2124 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2125 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2126 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2127 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2128 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2129 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2131 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2133 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2134 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2136 * Moose::Unsweetened
2137 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2138 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2139 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2142 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2143 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2144 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2145 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2148 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2149 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2151 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2152 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2153 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2154 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2173 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2174 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2175 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2176 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2177 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2197 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2201 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2202 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2203 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2204 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2205 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2208 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2210 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2212 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2213 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2217 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2218 method when that method was provided by another role being
2219 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2220 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2222 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2229 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2230 - added test for this (t0m)
2232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2233 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2234 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2236 - added test for this (t0m)
2239 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2240 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2241 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2244 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2245 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2247 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2249 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2250 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2252 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2253 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2254 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2256 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2257 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2260 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2263 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2267 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2268 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2269 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2273 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2274 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2275 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2278 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2282 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2288 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2289 created so that the process can be more easily

2302 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2304 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2305 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2306 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

2315 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2316 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2319 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2320 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2324 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2325 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2327 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2328 ... this is not my day today ...
2330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2331 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2332 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2333 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2334 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2337 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2338 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2339 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2340 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2341 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2344 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2346 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2347 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2348 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2349 this is not ever something you want to do
2350 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2351 - added tests for this (stevan)
2354 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2356 - added test for this

2369 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2372 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2374 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2376 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2379 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2380 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2381 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2382 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2383 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2384 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2385 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2386 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2387 - added tests for this
2389 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2390 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2391 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2392 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2394 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2463 which was causing the indexer to choke
2465 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2466 (late night release engineering)--
2468 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional

2485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2486 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2487 method for immutablization to check if the
2488 destructor object even needs to be created
2491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2492 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2493 - added more descriptive error message to help
2494 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2495 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2497 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2499 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2500 XS based functionality is now optional
2501 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2502 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2503 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2505 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2506 to take care of this, mostly we added
2507 support for the package_name and name

2510 support regexp matching of names
2511 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2513 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2514 is currently not supported in roles,
2515 but, ... patches welcome
2516 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2517 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2518 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2522 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2523 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2524 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2525 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2526 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2527 - added test for this
2529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2530 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2531 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2534 * Moose::Meta::Class

2555 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2556 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2557 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2558 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

2573 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2576 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2577 ->body when looping through the
2578 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2580 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2581 eating the $@ values, and so not
2582 working correctly, it still kind of
2583 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2584 - added tests for this
2586 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2587 - added new recipe for immutable
2588 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2606 drink more coffee before
2607 doing release engineering
2609 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2610 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

2721 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2722 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2724 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2726 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2727 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2728 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2730 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2731 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2752 a role is applied to an the instance (rebless_params)
2753 - added tests for this
2755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2756 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a
2757 custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
2758 - added tests for this
2759 - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an
2760 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else

2766 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2769 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2770 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2771 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3017 - added tests for this
3020 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3021 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3064 when they encounter overriden or modified
3065 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3066 - added tests for this
3068 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3074 - added more tests for this
3076 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3079 * Parameterized Types
3080 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3081 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3082 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3083 They can also be nested:
3084 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3085 And work with the type unions as well:
3086 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3088 * Better Framework Extendability
3089 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3090 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3091 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3092 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3095 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3096 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3097 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3098 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3101 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3103 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

3332 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3333 so that you can actually document your
3334 attributes and inspect them through the

3338 * Moose::Meta::Class
3339 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3340 it will first look in for the class in the
3341 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3342 then default to just loading $name.
3343 - added tests and docs for this
3345 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3346 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3347 - added test for this

3352 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3353 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3355 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3356 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3359 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3361 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3362 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3363 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3366 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3367 !! for this developer release to work !!
3369 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3370 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3371 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3372 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3373 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3374 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3375 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3376 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3377 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3378 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3379 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3381 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3382 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3383 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3384 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3387 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3389 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3390 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3391 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3393 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3395 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3396 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3399 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3400 called unless they actually need to be.
3401 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3402 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3403 DEMOLISH method present.
3405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3406 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3407 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3408 type constraint, which allows for a
3409 hand optimized version of the type
3410 constraint to be used when possible.
3411 - Any internally created type constraints
3412 now provide an optimized version as well.
3414 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3416 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3417 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3418 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3420 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3421 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3422 your class namespace of these exported
3425 * Moose::Meta::Class
3426 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3427 comes up during global destruction
3429 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3433 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3437 - changed how we do type checks so that
3438 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3441 - moved accessor generation methods to
3442 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3443 conform to the API changes from
3446 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3447 - changed how constraints are compiled
3448 so that we do less recursion and more
3449 iteration. This makes the type check
3451 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3455 - created this from methods formerly found in
3456 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3458 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3459 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3462 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3465 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3467 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3469 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3470 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3471 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3472 - added tests for this
3473 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3474 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3475 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3476 - removed tests for this
3478 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3480 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3481 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3482 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3485 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3486 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3487 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3489 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3490 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3491 comments for more info.
3494 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3495 asked questions and common problems
3497 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3498 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3499 - added tests for this
3501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3502 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3503 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3504 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3506 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3507 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3510 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3511 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3512 is much appreciated :)
3513 - added tests for this
3515 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3516 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3517 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3520 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3521 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3523 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3525 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3526 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3530 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3531 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3532 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3534 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3536 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3539 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3540 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3541 keywords because we need to localize them.
3542 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3544 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3545 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3546 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3549 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3552 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3553 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3554 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3557 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3558 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3559 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3561 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3563 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3564 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3565 bottom of your class file.
3568 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3571 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3573 - improved error message when loading modules so
3574 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3575 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3576 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3579 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3580 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3581 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3583 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3584 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3586 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3587 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3588 turn them on for you.
3589 - added tests for this
3590 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3591 in Moose::Meta::Class
3594 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3595 automatically turned on for you.

3614 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3617 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3618 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3619 - This release works in combination with
3620 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3621 release because it uses the a new
3622 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3623 complete Role implementation. It has
3624 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3625 the the previous CPAN version. This
3626 release also lacks good updated docs,
3627 the official release will have updated docs.
3630 - refactored the keyword exports
3631 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3632 accepts more than one Role at a time
3633 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3634 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3637 - refactored the keyword exports
3638 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3639 accepts more than one Role at a time
3641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3642 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3643 string enumerations which can be used as
3645 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3648 - more careful checking of params to new()
3651 - much work done on the role composition
3652 - many new tests for conflict detection
3653 and composition edge cases
3654 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3655 looking at the tests
3657 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3658 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3659 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3661 * Moose::Meta::Class
3662 - some small changes to support the new
3664 - some small additions to support Roles
3666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3667 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3669 - some small changes to support the new
3671 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3672 with the 'handles' option
3673 - added several tests for this
3674 - no docs for this yet
3676 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3678 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3679 thanks to chansen for this commit
3680 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3681 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3682 on a per-attribute basis
3683 - added tests for this
3684 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3685 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3686 experimental feature and probably not finished
3687 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3688 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3689 - added tests for this

3751 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3753 - added test for this
3756 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
