1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
6 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
7 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
8 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
9 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
10 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
13 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
14 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
15 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
16 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
17 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
19 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
20 which were not receiving the value of
21 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
22 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
23 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
24 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
28 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
29 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
30 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
32 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
33 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
34 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
35 - added tests for this (Stevan)
38 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
39 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
40 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
43 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
44 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
45 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
47 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
48 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
49 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
52 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
53 class if you pass it options for
54 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
55 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
56 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
57 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
58 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
59 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
60 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
61 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
62 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
64 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
65 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
66 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
67 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
68 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
71 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
72 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
73 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
74 existing delegation API. (hdp)
76 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
77 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
78 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
79 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
80 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
81 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
85 * Moose::Error::Confess
86 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
87 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
90 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
93 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
94 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
95 installing a broken sub. (doy)
98 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
101 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
102 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
103 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
105 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
106 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
107 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
108 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
109 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
112 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
115 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
117 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
118 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
121 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
122 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
126 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
127 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
129 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
130 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
131 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
132 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
133 using it for new code!
135 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
136 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
137 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
138 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
140 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
141 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
142 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
143 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
144 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
145 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
146 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
147 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
150 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
153 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
154 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
158 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
161 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
162 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
166 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
167 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
170 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
171 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
173 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
174 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
175 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
178 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
180 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
181 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
182 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
183 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
185 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
187 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
191 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
192 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
194 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
195 associated_methods. (hdp)
196 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
197 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
198 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
199 misspelled) arguments
201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
202 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
203 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
204 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
208 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
210 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
214 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
215 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
218 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
219 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
221 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
223 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
224 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
226 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
227 * Moose::Manual::Types
228 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
229 string parsing rathole (mst)
231 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
232 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
233 using plain objects instead
235 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
236 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
239 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
241 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
242 three times today (perigrin)
243 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
244 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
247 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
248 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
249 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
252 - A role's required methods are now represented by
253 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
254 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
255 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
256 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
257 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
260 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
261 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
262 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
263 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
266 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
268 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
271 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
273 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
276 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
277 during global destruction. This method has been made more
278 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
282 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
283 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
286 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
287 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
289 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
290 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
291 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
294 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
296 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
297 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
300 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
304 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
305 methods during global destruction (doy)
308 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
309 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
313 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
314 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
317 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
318 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
321 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
322 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
324 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
326 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
330 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
331 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
332 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
335 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
336 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
337 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
340 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
342 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
343 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
344 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
347 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
348 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
349 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
350 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
352 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
353 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
354 of the Moose core (Sartak)
357 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
360 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
361 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
362 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
366 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
367 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
370 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
372 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
375 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
376 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
379 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
380 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
383 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
384 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
387 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
390 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
393 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
397 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
400 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
403 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
404 * More deprecations and renamings
405 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
406 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
407 when an object is constructed)
410 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
411 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
412 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
415 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
416 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
417 feature, and it works again.
420 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
422 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
424 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
425 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
426 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
429 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
430 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
431 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
432 message. Test provided by perigrin.
434 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
435 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
436 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
437 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
438 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
441 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
442 metaclass object. (hdp)
444 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
445 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
446 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
447 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
448 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
449 point out this fact. (hdp)
451 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
452 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
454 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
455 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
459 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
460 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
461 called during instance construction were passed the
462 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
463 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
465 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
466 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
469 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
470 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
471 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
474 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
475 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
476 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
477 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
478 them, but they are not for "public" use.
481 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
483 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
484 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
485 when an object is constructed)
486 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
488 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
489 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
490 when an object is constructed)
491 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
492 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
493 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
496 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
498 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
499 * No changes from 0.72_01.
501 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
503 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
504 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
505 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
508 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
509 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
511 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
513 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
514 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
516 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
517 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
520 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
521 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
524 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
525 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
526 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
529 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
533 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
534 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
535 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
538 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
541 * Moose::Manual::Delta
542 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
543 with recommended workarounds.
545 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
546 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
549 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
550 (yes, spelled like that).
552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
553 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
556 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
557 changes in latest Class::MOP.
559 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
561 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
562 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
563 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
564 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
565 instead. Reported by doy.
567 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
569 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
570 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
572 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
573 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
574 message) is now deprecated.
575 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
576 often got it wrong. For example:
578 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
580 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
584 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
585 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
586 bite you in weird cases.
588 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
589 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
590 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
593 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
594 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
598 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
601 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
602 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
605 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
606 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
609 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
612 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
614 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
615 - added tests for this (stevan)
617 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
618 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
619 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
620 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
624 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
625 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
626 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
627 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
629 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
630 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
631 - added tests for this (rafl)
633 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
634 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
635 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
636 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
640 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
641 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
644 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
645 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
646 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
648 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
650 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
651 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
654 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
655 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
656 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
657 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
659 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
660 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
661 error message did not specify the attribute name
664 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
666 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
668 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
669 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
670 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
672 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
673 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
676 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
678 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
679 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
680 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
681 of fixes and formatting improvements.
683 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
685 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
686 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
687 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
688 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
691 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
692 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
695 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
696 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
697 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
698 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
701 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
702 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
703 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
704 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
706 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
707 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
708 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
709 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
710 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
711 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
713 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2008
714 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
715 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
716 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
717 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
718 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
720 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
721 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
723 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
724 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
725 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
726 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
729 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
732 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
736 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
737 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
739 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
740 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
741 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
744 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
746 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
749 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
750 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
751 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
754 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
757 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
758 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
760 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
762 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
765 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
766 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
767 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
768 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
769 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
770 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
773 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
774 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
775 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
776 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
777 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
778 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
779 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
780 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
781 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
783 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
785 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
786 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
789 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
790 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
791 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
793 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
794 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
795 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
796 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
797 same methods for a single role did not work
798 right (worked just fine with multiple
800 - added test for this (stevan)
802 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
803 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
804 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
807 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
808 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
809 - added test for this (t0m)
812 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
813 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
814 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
817 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
818 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
819 - added test for this (t0m)
821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
822 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
823 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
824 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
825 - added test for this (perigrin)
828 - create method for constructing a role
830 - added test for this (Sartak)
831 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
832 - added test for this (Sartak)
835 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
837 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
838 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
839 methods is useful (Sartak)
841 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
843 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
847 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
848 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
849 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
850 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
851 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
852 - added tests for this (jdv79)
855 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
856 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
858 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
859 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
860 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
861 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
862 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
864 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
866 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
867 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
868 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
871 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
872 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
873 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
874 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
875 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
876 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
880 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
881 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
882 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
883 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
884 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
885 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
886 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
887 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
888 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
889 future. (jnapiorkowski)
891 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
892 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
895 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
896 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
897 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
898 type. (jnapiorkowski)
899 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
901 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
903 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
904 predicate, and link to more details sections in
905 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
907 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
908 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
910 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
911 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
912 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
913 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
916 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
917 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
919 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
921 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
922 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
925 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
926 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
929 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
931 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
932 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
934 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
935 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
938 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
939 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
940 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
941 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
942 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
943 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
944 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
946 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
947 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
948 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
950 * Roles and role application
951 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
952 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
953 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
954 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
955 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
957 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
958 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
961 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
962 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
963 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
964 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
965 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
968 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
969 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
970 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
971 changes in the Moose internals.
973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
975 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
979 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
980 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
981 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
984 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
985 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
986 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
989 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
990 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
991 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
992 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
993 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
994 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
995 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
996 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
997 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
998 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
999 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1000 constraint implementations.
1002 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1006 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1007 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1008 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1009 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1010 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1011 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1012 - added tests for this (rafl)
1014 * Moose::Meta::Class
1015 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1016 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1017 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1018 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1019 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1020 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1021 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1022 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1025 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1026 - added tests for this (thepler)
1028 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1029 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1030 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1031 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1034 * Moose::Meta::Class
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method
1039 * Moose::Error::Default
1040 * Moose::Error::Croak
1041 * Moose::Error::Confess
1042 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1043 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1044 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1045 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1046 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1047 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1049 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1051 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1052 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1054 * Moose::Unsweetened
1055 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1056 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1057 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1060 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1061 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1062 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1063 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1066 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1067 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1069 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1070 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1071 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1072 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1075 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1077 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1078 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1080 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1083 - Various bug fixes.
1085 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1086 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1088 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1090 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1091 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1092 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1093 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1094 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1095 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1098 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1099 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1101 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1102 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1103 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1106 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1107 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1108 dependency to 0.64_07.
1110 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1111 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1112 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1115 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1118 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1119 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1120 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1121 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1122 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1123 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1125 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1126 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1128 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1130 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1131 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1135 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1136 method when that method was provided by another role being
1137 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1138 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1140 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1142 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1143 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1145 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1146 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1147 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1148 - added test for this (t0m)
1150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1151 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
1152 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
1154 - added test for this (t0m)
1157 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
1158 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
1159 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
1163 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
1165 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
1167 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
1168 easier (Dave Rolsky)
1170 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1171 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
1172 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
1174 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
1175 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
1178 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1179 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1180 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
1181 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
1185 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
1186 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
1187 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
1190 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
1191 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
1192 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
1193 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
1196 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
1200 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
1201 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
1202 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
1204 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
1205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1206 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
1207 created so that the process can be more easily
1208 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
1210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1211 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
1212 the type constraints (RT #37569)
1213 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
1215 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1216 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
1219 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
1220 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
1222 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
1223 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
1224 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
1226 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
1227 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
1228 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1230 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
1231 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
1233 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1234 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
1237 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1238 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
1242 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
1243 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
1245 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1246 ... this is not my day today ...
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1249 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
1250 clone_and_inherit options still works for
1251 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
1252 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
1255 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1256 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
1257 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
1258 in this release, except the fact that it includes
1259 the changes that I didn't include in the last
1262 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
1264 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
1265 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
1266 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
1267 this is not ever something you want to do
1268 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
1269 - added tests for this (stevan)
1272 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
1274 - added test for this
1276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1277 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
1278 - added tests for this (wreis)
1280 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
1281 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
1282 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
1283 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
1285 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
1286 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
1287 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
1290 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
1292 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
1294 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
1297 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1298 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
1299 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
1300 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
1301 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
1302 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
1303 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
1304 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
1305 - added tests for this
1307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1308 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
1309 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
1310 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
1312 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
1314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1315 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
1316 - added tests for this (sartak)
1317 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
1318 install_delegation method (Stevan)
1321 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
1323 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1324 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
1326 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1327 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1328 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
1329 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
1331 - Some null_constraint optimizations
1333 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1334 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
1337 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
1338 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
1339 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
1341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1342 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
1343 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
1345 - added docs for this (TODO).
1346 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
1347 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
1348 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
1349 - fix builder and default both being used
1354 Moose::Meta::Attribute
1356 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
1357 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1358 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
1362 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
1366 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it

1411 - added more descriptive error message to help
1412 keep people from wasting time tracking an error

1415 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
1417 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
1418 XS based functionality is now optional
1419 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
1420 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
1421 can now be used to force non-XS versions

1432 is currently not supported in roles,
1433 but, ... patches welcome

1440 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
1441 the stack trace is usually not helpful

1445 - added test for this
1447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

1491 show where the error is (thanks mst)
1494 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
1495 ->body when looping through the
1496 methods, to avoid the overloaded
1498 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
1499 eating the $@ values, and so not
1500 working correctly, it still kind of
1501 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
1502 - added tests for this

1524 drink more coffee before
1525 doing release engineering
1527 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

1642 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
1644 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

1982 when they encounter overriden or modified
1983 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
1984 - added tests for this
1986 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1987 - fixed the type notation parser so that
1988 the | always creates a union and so is
1989 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
1990 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

1994 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
1997 * Parameterized Types
1998 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
1999 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2000 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2001 They can also be nested:
2002 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2003 And work with the type unions as well:
2004 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2006 * Better Framework Extendability
2007 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2008 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2009 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2010 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2013 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2014 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2015 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2016 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

2175 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
2176 prototypes for functions
2177 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
2178 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

2188 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
2191 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
2192 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
2193 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
2194 - added tests for this
2196 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
2198 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

2220 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
2222 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007

2224 so this release is just to fix that.
2227 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
2228 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
2229 (thanks to konobi for this)

2241 functions to facilitate introspection.
2243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2244 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
2245 to build the list of delegated methods
2246 correctly (and not override important
2247 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
2249 - added tests and docs for this
2250 - added the 'documentation' attributes
2251 so that you can actually document your
2252 attributes and inspect them through the
2254 - added tests and docs for this
2256 * Moose::Meta::Class
2257 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
2258 it will first look in for the class in the
2259 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
2260 then default to just loading $name.
2261 - added tests and docs for this
2263 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2264 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
2265 - added test for this
2268 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
2269 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
2270 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
2271 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
2273 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
2274 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
2277 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
2279 - added tests to show types and subtypes
2280 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
2281 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
2284 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
2285 !! for this developer release to work !!
2287 This release was primarily adding the immutable
2288 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
2289 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
2290 as immutable it will perform various bits of
2291 memoization and inline certain part of the code
2292 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
2293 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
2294 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
2295 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
2296 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
2297 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
2299 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
2300 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
2301 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
2302 truely interested in what was changed, please do
2305 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2307 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
2308 are have a type constraint and lazy.
2309 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
2311 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
2313 There are some speed improvements in this release,
2314 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
2317 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
2318 called unless they actually need to be.
2319 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
2320 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
2321 DEMOLISH method present.
2323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2324 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2325 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
2326 type constraint, which allows for a
2327 hand optimized version of the type
2328 constraint to be used when possible.
2329 - Any internally created type constraints
2330 now provide an optimized version as well.
2332 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
2334 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
2335 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2336 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2339 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
2340 your class namespace of these exported
2343 * Moose::Meta::Class
2344 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
2345 comes up during global destruction
2347 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
2351 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
2354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2355 - changed how we do type checks so that
2356 we reduce the overall cost, but still
2359 - moved accessor generation methods to
2360 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
2361 conform to the API changes from
2364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2365 - changed how constraints are compiled
2366 so that we do less recursion and more
2367 iteration. This makes the type check
2369 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2373 - created this from methods formerly found in
2374 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2376 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
2377 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
2379 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2380 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
2382 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2383 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2385 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
2387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2388 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
2389 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
2390 - added tests for this
2391 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
2392 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
2393 broke predicates in an ugly way.
2394 - removed tests for this
2396 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
2398 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
2399 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
2400 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
2403 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
2404 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
2405 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2407 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2408 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
2409 comments for more info.
2412 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
2413 asked questions and common problems
2415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2416 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
2417 - added tests for this
2419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2420 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
2421 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
2422 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
2424 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
2425 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
2428 - added basic support for runtime role composition
2429 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
2430 is much appreciated :)
2431 - added tests for this
2433 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2434 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
2435 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
2438 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2439 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
2441 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
2443 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2444 - properly capturing error when type constraint
2448 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
2449 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
2450 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
2452 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
2454 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
2457 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
2458 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
2459 keywords because we need to localize them.
2460 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
2462 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
2463 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
2464 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
2467 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
2470 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2471 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
2472 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
2475 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
2476 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
2477 - fixed tests to reflect this change
2479 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
2481 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
2482 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
2483 bottom of your class file.
2486 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
2489 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
2491 - improved error message when loading modules so
2492 it is less confusing when you load a role.
2493 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
2494 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
2497 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
2498 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
2499 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

2536 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
2537 - This release works in combination with
2538 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
2539 release because it uses the a new
2540 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
2541 complete Role implementation. It has
2542 not yet been optimized, so it slower
2543 the the previous CPAN version. This
2544 release also lacks good updated docs,
2545 the official release will have updated docs.
2548 - refactored the keyword exports
2549 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
2550 accepts more than one Role at a time

2569 - much work done on the role composition
2570 - many new tests for conflict detection
2571 and composition edge cases
2572 - not enough documentation, I suggest
2573 looking at the tests

2598 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
2599 to support custom attribute meta-classes
2600 on a per-attribute basis
2601 - added tests for this
