1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix nonsensical error message for inlined accessors of required attributes.
11 * Stop trying to localize a lexical (blead now throws an error for this). RT
12 #79257, perl #114628. (sprout)
16 * Depend on a version of Carp new enough to have caller_info. RT #79367.
19 2.0603 Thu, Jun 28, 2012
23 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
25 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
29 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
30 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
31 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
32 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
33 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
35 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
39 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
40 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
41 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
43 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
47 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
49 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
53 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
54 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
55 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
58 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
60 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
64 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
66 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
70 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
71 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
75 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
76 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
77 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
78 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
79 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
84 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
85 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
86 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
87 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
89 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
90 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
91 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
93 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
94 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
95 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
96 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
98 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
99 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
100 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
101 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
103 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
104 package which was deleted. (doy)
106 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
110 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
112 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
116 * Minor documentation fixes.
118 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
119 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
121 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
125 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
126 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
128 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
132 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
134 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
138 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
140 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
143 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
147 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
149 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
150 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
154 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
155 more values were required. (rjbs)
157 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
161 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
162 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
167 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
168 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
169 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
171 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
172 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
173 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
175 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
176 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
179 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
180 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
181 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
182 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
186 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
187 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
188 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
189 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
192 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
196 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
197 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
198 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
200 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
201 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
202 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
204 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
205 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
206 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
208 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
209 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
212 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
213 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
214 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
216 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
217 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
220 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
221 the associated stash. (doy)
225 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
226 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
227 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
228 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
230 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
234 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
235 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
236 the attribute's reference.
240 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
241 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
246 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
247 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
248 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
251 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
252 the Object constraint).
254 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
258 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
259 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
264 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
266 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
270 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
273 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
275 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
279 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
281 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
285 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
288 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
289 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
290 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
292 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
295 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
299 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
301 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
305 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
307 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
311 * Include changes from 2.0010.
313 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
317 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
318 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
322 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
323 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
324 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
329 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
331 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
335 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
336 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
338 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
342 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
344 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
348 * Various packaging issues.
350 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
354 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
355 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
360 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
361 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
362 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
366 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
367 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
368 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
370 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
374 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
375 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
377 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
381 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
382 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
384 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
387 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
388 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
392 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
393 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
395 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
399 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
400 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
404 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
406 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
410 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
412 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
416 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
417 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
419 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
423 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
425 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
429 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
431 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
432 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
434 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
438 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
439 skips every other role. (rjbs)
441 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
442 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
443 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
444 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
445 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
447 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
451 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
452 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
453 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
456 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
461 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
463 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
464 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
466 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
470 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
471 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
472 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
476 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
477 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
479 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
480 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
482 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
483 environments. (doy, mateu)
485 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
489 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
490 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
491 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
492 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
496 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
497 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
499 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
503 * Update conflicts list.
506 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
510 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
511 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
512 details. (Dave Rolsky)
514 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
515 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
516 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
517 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
518 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
522 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
523 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
524 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
525 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
526 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
529 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
533 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
534 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
536 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
539 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
543 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
544 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
545 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
546 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
548 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
549 immutable classes). (mo)
551 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
552 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
553 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
555 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
559 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
561 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
563 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
567 * Fix some indexing issues.
569 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
571 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
575 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
576 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
577 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
578 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
579 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
581 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
582 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
587 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
588 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
589 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
590 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
592 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
593 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
594 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
598 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
599 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
602 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
606 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
607 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
611 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
615 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
616 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
617 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
618 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
621 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
625 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
628 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
632 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
633 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
634 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
637 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
641 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
642 policy. (Chris Prather)
644 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
645 on this new support policy. (doy)
649 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
650 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
651 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
653 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
654 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
656 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
660 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
661 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
662 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
663 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
666 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
670 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
671 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
674 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
678 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
679 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
681 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
682 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
686 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
687 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
688 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
689 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
690 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
691 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
693 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
694 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
696 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
697 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
698 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
699 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
701 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
702 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
704 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
709 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
710 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
712 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
716 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
717 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
718 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
720 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
724 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
725 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
726 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
728 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
729 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
732 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
733 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
736 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
737 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
738 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
740 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
741 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
746 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
747 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
748 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
749 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
751 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
752 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
754 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
755 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
757 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
758 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
759 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
760 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
762 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
763 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
764 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
767 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
768 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
769 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
770 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
772 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
773 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
776 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
777 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
778 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
780 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
784 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
785 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
786 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
788 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
789 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
790 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
793 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
794 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
795 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
797 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
798 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
799 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
801 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
802 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
806 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
807 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
808 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
810 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
811 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
812 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
813 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
815 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
819 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
820 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
821 value is a reference.
823 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
824 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
826 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
830 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
831 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
832 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
834 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
838 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
839 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
843 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
844 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
845 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
847 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
848 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
849 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
851 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
855 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
857 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
861 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
863 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
864 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
869 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
870 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
872 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
873 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
874 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
875 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
876 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
878 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
879 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
880 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
881 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
883 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
887 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
888 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
893 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
895 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
897 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
902 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
904 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
908 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
909 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
910 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
912 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
913 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
914 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
915 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
917 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
918 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
919 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
920 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
921 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
924 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
929 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
930 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
931 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
932 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
933 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
936 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
940 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
943 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
944 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
948 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
949 function (not just method). (doy)
953 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
954 and aren't easily installable/testable.
956 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
960 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
961 to be overridden more easily (doy).
963 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
967 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
968 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
970 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
974 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
975 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
976 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
978 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
982 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
983 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
984 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
986 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
987 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
991 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
992 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
994 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
995 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
999 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
1000 is applied to a class (t0m).
1002 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
1003 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1005 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1008 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1009 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1011 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1012 be much more robust. (doy)
1014 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1016 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1019 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1023 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1024 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1026 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1030 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1031 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1033 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1036 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1037 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1038 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1040 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1041 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1042 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1045 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1047 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1051 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1052 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1056 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1058 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1062 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1063 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1067 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1068 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1072 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1074 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1078 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1079 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1083 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1084 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1088 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1089 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1091 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1095 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1096 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1097 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1100 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1104 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1105 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1106 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1107 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1109 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1113 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1114 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1115 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1119 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1120 (Michael G. Schwern)
1122 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1127 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1128 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1132 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1133 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1135 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1136 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1137 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1138 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1140 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1144 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1148 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1149 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1151 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1152 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1153 - Moose::Util::does_role
1154 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1155 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1156 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1158 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1162 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1163 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1164 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1167 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1171 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1172 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1175 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1179 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1180 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1183 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1187 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1189 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1190 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1192 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1193 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1194 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1196 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1197 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1198 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1201 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1202 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1205 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1206 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1208 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1210 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1211 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1213 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1215 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1218 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1219 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1221 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1222 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1224 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1225 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1226 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1227 dependencies installed.
1229 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1230 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1233 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1235 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1239 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1242 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1243 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1245 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1246 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1247 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1249 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1250 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1253 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1254 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1255 others. (nothingmuch)
1257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1258 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1259 remove_accessors. (doy)
1261 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1262 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1263 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1266 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1268 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1269 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1270 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1271 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Class
1274 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1275 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1278 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1280 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1282 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1283 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1287 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1288 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1289 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1290 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1292 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1295 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1296 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1297 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1298 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1301 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1302 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1303 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1304 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1305 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1307 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1308 which were not receiving the value of
1309 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1310 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1311 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1312 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1316 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1317 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1318 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1319 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1320 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1323 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1324 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1325 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1326 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Class
1329 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1330 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1331 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1334 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1336 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1338 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1339 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1340 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1343 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1344 class if you pass it options for
1345 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1346 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1347 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1348 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1349 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1350 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1351 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1352 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1353 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1355 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1356 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1357 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1358 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1359 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1362 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1363 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1364 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1365 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1367 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1368 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1369 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1370 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1371 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1372 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1375 * Moose::Error::Croak
1376 * Moose::Error::Confess
1377 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1378 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1381 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1384 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1385 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1386 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1388 * Moose::Meta::Class
1389 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1392 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1393 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1394 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1397 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1398 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1399 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1400 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1402 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1403 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1406 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1408 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1409 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1412 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1413 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1416 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1417 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1418 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1421 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1422 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1423 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1424 using it for new code!
1426 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1427 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1428 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1429 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1431 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1432 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1433 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1434 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1435 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1436 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1437 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1438 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1441 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1444 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1445 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1448 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1449 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1452 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1453 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1455 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1456 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1457 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1458 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1460 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1461 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1462 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1465 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1466 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1469 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1470 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1471 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1472 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1473 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1474 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1476 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1478 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1481 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1482 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1483 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1485 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1486 associated_methods. (hdp)
1487 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1488 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1489 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1490 misspelled) arguments
1492 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1493 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1494 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1495 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1497 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1499 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1501 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1505 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1506 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1509 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1510 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1512 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1513 * Moose::Meta::Class
1514 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1515 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1517 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1518 * Moose::Manual::Types
1519 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1520 string parsing rathole (mst)
1522 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1523 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1524 using plain objects instead
1526 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1527 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1528 that's what we need.
1530 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1531 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1532 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1533 three times today (perigrin)
1534 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1535 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1538 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1539 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1540 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1543 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1544 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1545 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1546 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1547 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1548 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1551 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1552 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1553 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1554 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1557 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1559 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1562 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1564 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1567 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1568 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1569 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1573 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1574 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1577 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1578 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1580 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1581 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1582 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1584 * Moose::Unsweetened
1585 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1587 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1588 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1591 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1595 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1596 methods during global destruction (doy)
1598 * Moose::Meta::Class
1599 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1600 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1601 consumption (Sartak)
1603 * Moose::Meta::Class
1604 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1605 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1608 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1609 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1612 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1613 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1615 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1617 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1621 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1622 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1623 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1626 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1627 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1628 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1631 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1633 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1635 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1638 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1639 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1640 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1641 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1643 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1644 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1645 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1648 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1651 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1652 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1653 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1657 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1658 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1660 * Moose::Meta::Class
1661 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1663 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1665 * Moose::Meta::Class
1666 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1667 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1670 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1671 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1674 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1675 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1678 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1681 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1684 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1687 * Moose::Meta::Class
1688 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1690 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1691 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1694 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1695 * More deprecations and renamings
1696 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1697 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1698 when an object is constructed)
1701 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1702 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1703 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1705 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1706 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1707 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1708 feature, and it works again.
1711 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1713 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1715 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1716 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1717 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1719 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1720 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1721 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1722 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1723 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1726 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1727 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1728 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1729 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1732 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1733 metaclass object. (hdp)
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1738 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1739 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1740 point out this fact. (hdp)
1742 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1743 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1746 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1748 * Moose::Meta::Class
1749 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1750 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1751 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1752 called during instance construction were passed the
1753 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1754 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1756 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1757 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1760 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1761 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1762 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1765 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1766 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1767 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1768 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1769 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1771 - Moose::Meta::Class
1772 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1774 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1775 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1776 when an object is constructed)
1777 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1779 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1780 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1781 when an object is constructed)
1782 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1783 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1784 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1787 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1789 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1790 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1792 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1794 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1795 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1796 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1798 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1799 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1800 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1802 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1804 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1805 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1807 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1808 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1811 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1812 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1815 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1816 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1817 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1820 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1824 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1825 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1826 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1828 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1829 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1832 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1833 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1834 with recommended workarounds.
1836 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1837 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1839 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1840 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1841 (yes, spelled like that).
1843 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1844 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1846 * Moose::Meta::Class
1847 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1848 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1850 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1852 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1853 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1854 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1855 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1856 instead. Reported by doy.
1858 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1860 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1861 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1864 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1865 message) is now deprecated.
1866 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1867 often got it wrong. For example:
1869 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1871 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1875 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1876 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1877 bite you in weird cases.
1879 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1880 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1881 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1882 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1885 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1889 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1892 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1893 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1897 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1899 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1900 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1903 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1904 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1905 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1906 - added tests for this (stevan)
1908 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1909 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1910 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1911 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1915 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1916 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1917 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1918 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1920 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1921 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1922 - added tests for this (rafl)
1924 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1925 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1926 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1927 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1931 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1932 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1935 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1936 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1937 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1939 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1941 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1942 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1944 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1945 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1946 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1947 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1948 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1951 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1952 error message did not specify the attribute name
1955 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1957 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1959 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1960 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1961 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1963 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1964 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1967 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1969 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1970 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1971 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1972 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1974 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1976 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1977 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1978 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1979 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1982 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1983 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1985 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1986 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1987 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1988 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1989 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1991 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1992 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1993 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1994 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1995 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1997 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1998 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1999 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
2000 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
2001 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
2002 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
2004 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2005 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2006 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2007 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2008 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2009 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2011 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2012 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2014 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2015 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2016 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2017 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2020 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2023 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2027 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2028 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2030 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2031 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2032 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2033 guts. (nothingmuch).
2035 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2037 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2039 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2040 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2041 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2042 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2044 * Moose::Meta::Class
2045 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2048 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2049 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2051 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2052 * Moose::Unsweetened
2053 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2056 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2057 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2058 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2059 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2060 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2061 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2063 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2064 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2065 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2066 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2067 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2068 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2069 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2070 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2071 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2072 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2074 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2076 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2077 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2079 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2080 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2081 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2082 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2084 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2085 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2086 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2087 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2088 same methods for a single role did not work
2089 right (worked just fine with multiple
2091 - added test for this (stevan)
2093 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2094 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2095 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2098 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2099 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2100 - added test for this (t0m)
2103 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2104 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2105 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2108 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2109 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2110 - added test for this (t0m)
2112 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2113 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2114 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2115 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2116 - added test for this (perigrin)
2119 - create method for constructing a role
2120 dynamically (Sartak)
2121 - added test for this (Sartak)
2122 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2123 - added test for this (Sartak)
2126 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2128 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2129 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2130 methods is useful (Sartak)
2132 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2134 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2137 * Moose::Meta::Class
2138 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2139 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2140 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2141 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2142 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2143 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2146 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2147 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2149 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2150 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2151 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2152 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2153 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2155 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2157 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2158 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2159 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2162 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2163 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2164 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2165 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2166 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2167 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2170 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2171 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2172 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2173 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2174 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2175 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2176 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2177 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2178 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2179 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2180 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2183 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2186 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2187 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2188 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2189 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2190 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2192 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2194 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2195 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2196 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2199 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2202 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2203 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2204 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2207 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2208 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2210 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2212 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2213 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2215 * Moose::Meta::Class
2216 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2217 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2218 a required attribute
2220 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2221 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2222 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2223 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2226 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2229 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2230 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2231 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2232 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2233 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2234 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2235 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2237 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2238 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2239 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2241 * Roles and role application
2242 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2243 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2244 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2245 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2246 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2248 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2249 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2252 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2253 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2254 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2255 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2256 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2259 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2260 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2261 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2262 changes in the Moose internals.
2264 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2266 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2270 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2271 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2272 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2274 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2275 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2276 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2277 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2279 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2280 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2281 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2282 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2283 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2284 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2285 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2286 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2287 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2288 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2289 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2290 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2291 constraint implementations.
2293 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2297 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2298 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2299 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2300 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2301 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2302 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2303 - added tests for this (rafl)
2305 * Moose::Meta::Class
2306 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2307 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2308 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2309 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2310 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2311 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2312 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2313 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2316 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2317 - added tests for this (thepler)
2319 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2320 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2321 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2322 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2325 * Moose::Meta::Class
2326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2327 * Moose::Meta::Method
2330 * Moose::Error::Default
2331 * Moose::Error::Croak
2332 * Moose::Error::Confess
2333 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2334 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2335 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2336 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2337 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2338 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2340 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2342 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2343 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2345 * Moose::Unsweetened
2346 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2347 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2348 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2351 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2352 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2353 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2354 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2357 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2358 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2360 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2361 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2362 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2363 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2366 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2368 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2369 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2371 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2374 - Various bug fixes.
2376 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2377 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2379 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2381 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2382 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2383 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2384 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2385 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2386 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2388 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2389 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2390 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2392 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2393 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2394 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2397 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2398 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2399 dependency to 0.64_07.
2401 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2402 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2403 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2405 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2406 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2410 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2411 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2412 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2413 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2414 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2416 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2417 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2419 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2421 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2422 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2426 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2427 method when that method was provided by another role being
2428 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2429 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2431 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2433 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2434 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2437 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2438 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2439 - added test for this (t0m)
2441 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2442 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2443 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2445 - added test for this (t0m)
2448 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2449 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2450 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2453 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2454 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2456 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2458 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2459 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2461 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2462 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2463 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2465 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2466 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2469 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2470 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2471 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2472 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2476 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2477 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2478 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2481 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2482 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2483 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2484 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2487 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2491 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2492 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2493 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2495 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2497 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2498 created so that the process can be more easily
2499 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2501 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2502 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2503 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2504 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2506 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2507 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2510 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2511 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2513 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2514 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2515 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2517 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2518 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2519 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2521 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2522 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2524 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2525 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2528 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2529 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2533 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2534 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2536 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2537 ... this is not my day today ...
2539 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2540 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2541 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2542 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2543 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2546 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2547 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2548 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2549 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2550 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2553 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2555 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2556 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2557 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2558 this is not ever something you want to do
2559 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2560 - added tests for this (stevan)
2563 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2565 - added test for this
2567 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2568 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2569 - added tests for this (wreis)
2571 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2572 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2573 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2574 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2576 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2577 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2578 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2581 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2583 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2585 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2588 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2589 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2590 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2591 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2592 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2593 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2594 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2595 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2596 - added tests for this
2598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2599 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2600 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2601 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2603 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2605 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2606 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2607 - added tests for this (sartak)
2608 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2609 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2612 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2614 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2615 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2618 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2619 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2620 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2622 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2624 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2625 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2628 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2629 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2630 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2632 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2633 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2634 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2636 - added docs for this (TODO).
2637 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2638 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2639 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2640 - fix builder and default both being used
2645 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2647 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2648 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2649 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2653 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2657 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2658 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2659 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2661 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2662 - move the ClassName type check code to
2663 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2665 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2666 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2668 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2669 (early morning release engineering)--
2671 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2672 which was causing the indexer to choke
2674 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2675 (late night release engineering)--
2677 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2678 changes in this release
2680 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2681 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2682 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2684 * Moose::Meta::Class
2685 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2686 since it is called so often by &meta
2688 * Moose::Meta::Class
2690 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2691 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2694 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2695 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2696 method for immutablization to check if the
2697 destructor object even needs to be created
2700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2701 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2702 - added more descriptive error message to help
2703 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2704 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2706 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2708 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2709 XS based functionality is now optional
2710 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2711 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2712 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2714 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2715 to take care of this, mostly we added
2716 support for the package_name and name
2717 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2718 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2719 support regexp matching of names
2720 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2721 - tests added for this
2722 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2723 is currently not supported in roles,
2724 but, ... patches welcome
2725 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2726 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2727 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2730 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2731 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2732 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2733 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2734 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2735 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2736 - added test for this
2738 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2739 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2740 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2743 * Moose::Meta::Class
2744 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2748 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2750 - added tests for this
2751 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2752 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2755 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2756 themselves parameterizable types
2758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2759 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2760 called by the inlined immutable
2762 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2764 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2765 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2766 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2767 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2769 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2770 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2774 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2775 causing occasional cpantester failures
2776 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2777 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2779 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2781 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2782 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2785 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2786 ->body when looping through the
2787 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2789 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2790 eating the $@ values, and so not

2933 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2935 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2979 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2980 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3273 when they encounter overriden or modified
3274 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3275 - added tests for this

3285 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3288 * Parameterized Types
3289 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3290 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3291 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3292 They can also be nested:
3293 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3294 And work with the type unions as well:
3295 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3297 * Better Framework Extendability
3298 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3299 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3300 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3301 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3304 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3305 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3306 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3307 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3467 prototypes for functions
3468 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3469 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3470 - added tests and docs for this
3471 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3472 default for where be { 1 }
3473 - added test for this
3475 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3476 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3477 merlyn for finding this bug
3478 - tests added for this
3479 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3482 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3483 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3484 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3485 - added tests for this
3487 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3489 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3490 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
3491 - altered unimport tests to handle this
3494 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
3496 * Moose::Meta::Class
3497 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
3498 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
3501 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3502 where not handled correctly in roles
3503 - added tests for this
3505 * Moose::Meta::Class
3506 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3507 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3508 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3510 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3511 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3513 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3514 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3515 so this release is just to fix that.
3518 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3519 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3520 (thanks to konobi for this)
3521 - added tests and docs
3523 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3524 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3526 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3527 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3528 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3529 - added tests for this
3530 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3531 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3532 functions to facilitate introspection.
3534 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3535 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3536 to build the list of delegated methods
3537 correctly (and not override important
3538 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3540 - added tests and docs for this
3541 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3542 so that you can actually document your
3543 attributes and inspect them through the
3545 - added tests and docs for this
3547 * Moose::Meta::Class
3548 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3549 it will first look in for the class in the
3550 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3551 then default to just loading $name.
3552 - added tests and docs for this
3554 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3555 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3556 - added test for this
3559 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3560 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3561 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3562 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3564 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3565 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3568 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3570 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3571 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3572 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3575 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3576 !! for this developer release to work !!
3578 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3579 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3580 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3581 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3582 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3583 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3584 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3585 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3586 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3587 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3588 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3590 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3591 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3592 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3593 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3596 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3598 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3599 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3600 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3602 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3604 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3605 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3608 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3609 called unless they actually need to be.
3610 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3611 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3612 DEMOLISH method present.
3614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3615 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3616 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3617 type constraint, which allows for a
3618 hand optimized version of the type
3619 constraint to be used when possible.
3620 - Any internally created type constraints
3621 now provide an optimized version as well.
3623 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3625 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3626 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3627 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3629 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3630 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3631 your class namespace of these exported
3634 * Moose::Meta::Class
3635 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3636 comes up during global destruction
3638 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3642 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3645 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3646 - changed how we do type checks so that
3647 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3650 - moved accessor generation methods to
3651 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3652 conform to the API changes from
3655 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3656 - changed how constraints are compiled
3657 so that we do less recursion and more
3658 iteration. This makes the type check
3660 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3664 - created this from methods formerly found in
3665 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3667 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3668 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3671 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3673 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3674 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3676 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3679 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3680 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3681 - added tests for this
3682 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3683 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3684 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3685 - removed tests for this
3687 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3689 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3690 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3691 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3694 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3695 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3696 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3698 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3699 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3700 comments for more info.
3703 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3704 asked questions and common problems
3706 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3707 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3708 - added tests for this
3710 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3711 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3712 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3713 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3715 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3716 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3719 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3720 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3721 is much appreciated :)
3722 - added tests for this
3724 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3725 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3726 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3729 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3730 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3732 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3734 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3735 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3739 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3740 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3741 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3743 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3745 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3748 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3749 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3750 keywords because we need to localize them.
3751 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3753 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3754 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3755 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3758 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3761 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3762 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3763 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3766 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3767 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3768 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3770 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3772 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3773 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3774 bottom of your class file.
3777 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3780 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3782 - improved error message when loading modules so
3783 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3784 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3785 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3788 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3789 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3790 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3792 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3793 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3795 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3796 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3797 turn them on for you.
3798 - added tests for this
3799 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3800 in Moose::Meta::Class

3827 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3828 - This release works in combination with
3829 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3830 release because it uses the a new
3831 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3832 complete Role implementation. It has
3833 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3834 the the previous CPAN version. This
3835 release also lacks good updated docs,
3836 the official release will have updated docs.
3839 - refactored the keyword exports
3840 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3841 accepts more than one Role at a time

3847 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3848 accepts more than one Role at a time
3850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3852 string enumerations which can be used as
3854 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3857 - more careful checking of params to new()
3860 - much work done on the role composition
3861 - many new tests for conflict detection
3862 and composition edge cases
3863 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3864 looking at the tests
3866 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3867 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3868 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3870 * Moose::Meta::Class

3873 - some small additions to support Roles
3875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3878 - some small changes to support the new
3880 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3881 with the 'handles' option
3882 - added several tests for this
3883 - no docs for this yet

3887 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3888 thanks to chansen for this commit
3889 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3890 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3891 on a per-attribute basis
3892 - added tests for this
3893 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3894 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3895 experimental feature and probably not finished

3960 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3962 - added test for this
