1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
9 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
11 * Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
12 without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
16 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
17 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
18 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
20 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
24 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
25 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
26 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
27 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
28 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
30 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
34 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
35 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
36 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
38 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
42 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
44 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
48 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
49 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
50 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
53 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
55 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
59 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
61 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
65 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
66 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
70 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
71 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
72 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
73 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
74 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
79 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
80 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
81 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
82 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
84 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
85 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
86 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
88 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
89 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
90 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
91 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
93 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
94 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
95 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
96 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
98 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
99 package which was deleted. (doy)
101 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
105 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
107 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
111 * Minor documentation fixes.
113 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
114 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
116 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
120 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
121 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
123 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
127 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
129 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
133 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
135 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
138 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
142 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
144 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
145 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
149 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
150 more values were required. (rjbs)
152 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
156 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
157 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
161 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
162 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
163 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
164 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
167 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
168 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
171 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
174 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
175 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
176 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
177 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
181 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
182 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
183 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
184 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
187 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
191 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
192 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
193 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
196 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
197 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
199 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
200 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
201 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
203 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
204 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
207 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
208 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
209 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
211 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
212 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
215 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
216 the associated stash. (doy)
220 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
221 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
222 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
223 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
225 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
229 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
230 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
231 the attribute's reference.
235 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
236 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
241 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
242 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
243 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
246 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
247 the Object constraint).
249 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
253 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
254 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
259 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
261 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
265 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
268 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
270 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
274 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
276 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
280 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
283 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
284 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
285 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
287 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
290 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
294 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
296 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
300 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
302 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
306 * Include changes from 2.0010.
308 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
312 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
313 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
317 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
318 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
319 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
324 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
326 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
330 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
331 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
333 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
337 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
339 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
343 * Various packaging issues.
345 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
349 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
350 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
355 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
356 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
357 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
361 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
362 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
363 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
365 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
369 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
370 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
372 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
376 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
377 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
379 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
382 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
383 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
387 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
388 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
390 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
394 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
395 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
399 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
401 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
405 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
407 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
411 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
412 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
414 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
418 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
420 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
424 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
426 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
427 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
429 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
433 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
434 skips every other role. (rjbs)
436 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
437 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
438 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
439 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
440 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
442 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
446 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
447 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
448 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
451 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
456 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
458 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
459 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
461 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
465 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
466 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
467 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
471 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
472 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
474 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
475 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
477 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
478 environments. (doy, mateu)
480 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
484 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
485 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
486 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
487 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
491 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
492 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
494 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
498 * Update conflicts list.
501 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
505 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
506 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
507 details. (Dave Rolsky)
509 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
510 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
511 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
512 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
513 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
517 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
518 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
519 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
520 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
521 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
524 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
528 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
529 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
531 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
534 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
538 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
539 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
540 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
541 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
543 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
544 immutable classes). (mo)
546 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
547 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
548 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
550 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
554 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
556 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
558 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
562 * Fix some indexing issues.
564 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
566 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
570 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
571 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
572 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
573 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
574 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
576 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
577 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
582 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
583 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
584 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
585 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
587 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
588 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
589 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
593 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
594 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
597 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
601 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
602 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
606 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
610 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
611 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
612 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
613 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
616 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
620 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
623 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
627 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
628 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
629 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
632 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
636 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
637 policy. (Chris Prather)
639 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
640 on this new support policy. (doy)
644 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
645 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
646 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
648 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
649 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
651 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
655 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
656 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
657 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
658 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
661 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
665 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
666 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
669 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
673 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
674 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
676 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
677 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
681 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
682 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
683 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
684 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
685 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
686 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
688 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
689 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
691 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
692 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
693 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
694 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
696 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
697 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
699 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
704 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
705 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
707 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
711 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
712 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
713 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
715 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
719 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
720 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
721 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
723 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
724 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
727 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
728 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
731 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
732 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
733 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
735 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
736 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
741 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
742 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
743 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
744 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
746 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
747 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
749 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
750 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
752 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
753 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
754 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
755 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
757 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
758 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
759 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
762 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
763 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
764 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
765 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
767 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
768 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
771 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
772 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
773 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
775 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
779 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
780 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
781 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
783 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
784 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
785 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
788 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
789 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
790 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
792 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
793 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
794 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
796 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
797 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
801 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
802 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
803 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
805 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
806 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
807 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
808 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
810 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
814 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
815 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
816 value is a reference.
818 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
819 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
821 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
825 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
826 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
827 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
829 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
833 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
834 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
838 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
839 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
840 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
842 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
843 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
844 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
846 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
850 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
852 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
856 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
858 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
859 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
864 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
865 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
867 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
868 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
869 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
870 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
871 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
873 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
874 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
875 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
876 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
878 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
882 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
883 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
888 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
890 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
892 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
897 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
899 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
903 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
904 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
905 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
907 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
908 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
909 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
910 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
912 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
913 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
914 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
915 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
916 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
919 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
924 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
925 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
926 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
927 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
928 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
931 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
935 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
938 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
939 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
943 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
944 function (not just method). (doy)
948 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
949 and aren't easily installable/testable.
951 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
955 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
956 to be overridden more easily (doy).
958 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
962 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
963 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
965 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
969 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
970 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
971 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
973 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
977 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
978 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
979 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
981 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
982 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
986 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
987 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
989 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
990 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
994 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
995 is applied to a class (t0m).
997 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
998 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1000 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1003 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1004 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1006 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1007 be much more robust. (doy)
1009 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1011 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1014 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1018 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1019 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1021 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1025 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1026 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1028 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1031 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1032 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1033 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1035 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1036 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1037 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1040 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1042 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1046 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1047 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1051 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1053 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1058 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1062 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1063 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1067 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1069 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1073 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1074 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1078 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1079 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1083 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1084 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1086 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1090 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1091 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1092 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1095 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1099 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1100 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1101 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1102 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1104 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1108 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1109 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1110 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1114 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1115 (Michael G. Schwern)
1117 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1122 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1123 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1127 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1128 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1130 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1131 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1132 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1133 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1135 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1139 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1143 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1144 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1146 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1147 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1148 - Moose::Util::does_role
1149 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1150 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1151 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1153 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1157 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1158 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1159 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1166 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1167 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1170 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1174 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1175 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1178 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1182 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1184 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1185 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1187 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1188 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1189 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1191 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1192 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1193 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1196 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1197 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1199 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1200 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1201 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1203 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1205 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1206 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1208 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1210 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1213 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1214 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1216 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1217 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1219 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1220 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1221 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1222 dependencies installed.
1224 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1225 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1228 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1230 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1234 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1237 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1238 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1240 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1241 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1242 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1244 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1245 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1248 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1249 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1250 others. (nothingmuch)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1253 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1254 remove_accessors. (doy)
1256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1257 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1258 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1261 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1263 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1264 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1265 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1266 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1268 * Moose::Meta::Class
1269 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1270 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1273 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1275 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1277 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1278 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1282 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1283 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1284 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1285 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1287 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1290 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1291 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1292 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1293 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1297 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1298 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1299 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1300 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1302 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1303 which were not receiving the value of
1304 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1305 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1306 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1307 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1311 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1312 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1313 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1314 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1315 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1318 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1319 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1320 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1321 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1323 * Moose::Meta::Class
1324 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1325 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1326 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1329 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1331 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1334 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1335 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1338 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1339 class if you pass it options for
1340 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1341 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1342 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1343 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1344 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1345 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1346 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1347 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1348 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1350 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1351 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1352 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1353 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1354 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1357 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1358 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1359 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1360 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1363 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1364 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1365 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1366 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1367 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1370 * Moose::Error::Croak
1371 * Moose::Error::Confess
1372 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1373 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1376 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1379 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1380 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1381 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1383 * Moose::Meta::Class
1384 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1387 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1388 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1389 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1391 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1392 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1393 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1394 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1395 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1397 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1398 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1401 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1403 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1404 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1407 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1408 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1412 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1413 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1416 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1417 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1418 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1419 using it for new code!
1421 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1422 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1423 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1424 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1426 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1427 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1428 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1429 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1430 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1431 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1432 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1433 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1436 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1439 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1440 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1444 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1447 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1448 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1450 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1452 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1453 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1455 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1456 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1457 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1459 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1460 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1461 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1464 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1466 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1467 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1468 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1469 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1471 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1473 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1476 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1477 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1478 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1480 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1481 associated_methods. (hdp)
1482 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1483 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1484 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1485 misspelled) arguments
1487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1488 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1489 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1490 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1492 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1493 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1494 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1496 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1500 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1501 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1504 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1505 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1507 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1508 * Moose::Meta::Class
1509 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1510 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1512 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1513 * Moose::Manual::Types
1514 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1515 string parsing rathole (mst)
1517 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1518 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1519 using plain objects instead
1521 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1522 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1523 that's what we need.
1525 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1526 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1527 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1528 three times today (perigrin)
1529 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1530 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1532 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1533 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1534 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1535 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1538 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1539 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1540 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1541 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1542 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1543 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1546 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1547 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1548 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1549 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1552 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1554 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1557 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1559 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1562 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1563 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1564 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1568 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1569 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1572 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1573 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1575 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1576 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1577 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1579 * Moose::Unsweetened
1580 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1582 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1583 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1586 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1590 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1591 methods during global destruction (doy)
1593 * Moose::Meta::Class
1594 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1595 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1596 consumption (Sartak)
1598 * Moose::Meta::Class
1599 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1600 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1603 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1604 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1607 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1608 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1610 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1612 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1616 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1617 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1618 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1621 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1622 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1623 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1626 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1628 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1629 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1630 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1633 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1634 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1635 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1636 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1638 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1639 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1640 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1643 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1646 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1647 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1648 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1652 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1653 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1655 * Moose::Meta::Class
1656 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1658 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1660 * Moose::Meta::Class
1661 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1662 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1665 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1666 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1669 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1670 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1673 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1676 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1678 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1679 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1682 * Moose::Meta::Class
1683 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1686 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1689 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1690 * More deprecations and renamings
1691 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1692 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1693 when an object is constructed)
1696 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1697 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1698 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1701 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1702 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1703 feature, and it works again.
1706 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1708 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1710 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1711 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1712 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1714 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1715 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1716 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1717 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1718 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1720 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1721 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1722 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1723 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1724 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1727 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1728 metaclass object. (hdp)
1730 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1731 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1734 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1735 point out this fact. (hdp)
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1738 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1740 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1741 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1743 * Moose::Meta::Class
1744 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1745 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1746 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1747 called during instance construction were passed the
1748 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1749 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1751 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1752 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1755 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1756 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1757 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1760 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1761 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1762 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1763 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1764 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1766 - Moose::Meta::Class
1767 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1769 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1770 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1771 when an object is constructed)
1772 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1774 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1775 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1776 when an object is constructed)
1777 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1778 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1779 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1782 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1784 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1785 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1787 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1789 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1790 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1791 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1793 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1794 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1795 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1797 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1799 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1800 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1802 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1803 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1806 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1807 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1810 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1811 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1812 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1814 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1815 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1819 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1820 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1821 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1823 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1824 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1827 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1828 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1829 with recommended workarounds.
1831 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1832 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1834 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1835 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1836 (yes, spelled like that).
1838 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1839 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1841 * Moose::Meta::Class
1842 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1843 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1845 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1847 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1848 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1849 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1850 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1851 instead. Reported by doy.
1853 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1855 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1856 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1858 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1859 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1860 message) is now deprecated.
1861 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1862 often got it wrong. For example:
1864 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1866 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1870 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1871 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1872 bite you in weird cases.
1874 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1875 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1876 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1877 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1880 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1884 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1887 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1888 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1891 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1892 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1894 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1895 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1898 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1899 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1900 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1901 - added tests for this (stevan)
1903 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1904 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1905 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1906 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1910 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1911 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1912 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1913 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1915 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1916 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1917 - added tests for this (rafl)
1919 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1920 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1921 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1922 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1926 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1927 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1931 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1932 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1934 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1936 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1937 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1939 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1940 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1941 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1942 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1943 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1945 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1946 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1947 error message did not specify the attribute name
1950 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1952 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1954 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1955 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1956 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1958 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1959 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1962 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1964 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1965 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1966 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1967 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1969 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1971 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1972 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1973 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1974 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1976 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1977 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1978 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1981 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1982 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1983 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1984 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1986 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1987 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1988 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1989 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1990 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1993 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1994 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1995 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1996 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1997 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1999 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2000 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2001 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2002 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2003 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2004 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2006 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2007 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2009 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2010 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2011 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2012 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2014 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2015 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2018 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2022 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2023 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2025 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2026 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2027 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2028 guts. (nothingmuch).
2030 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2031 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2032 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2034 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2035 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2036 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2037 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2039 * Moose::Meta::Class
2040 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2043 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2044 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2046 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2047 * Moose::Unsweetened
2048 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2051 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2052 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2053 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2054 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2055 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2056 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2059 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2060 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2061 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2062 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2063 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2064 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2065 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2066 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2067 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2069 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2071 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2072 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2075 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2076 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2077 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2079 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2080 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2081 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2082 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2083 same methods for a single role did not work
2084 right (worked just fine with multiple
2086 - added test for this (stevan)
2088 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2089 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2090 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2093 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2094 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2095 - added test for this (t0m)
2098 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2099 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2100 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2103 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2104 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2105 - added test for this (t0m)
2107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2108 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2109 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2110 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2111 - added test for this (perigrin)
2114 - create method for constructing a role
2115 dynamically (Sartak)
2116 - added test for this (Sartak)
2117 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2118 - added test for this (Sartak)
2121 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2123 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2124 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2125 methods is useful (Sartak)
2127 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2129 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2132 * Moose::Meta::Class
2133 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2134 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2135 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2136 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2137 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2138 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2141 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2142 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2144 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2145 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2146 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2147 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2148 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2150 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2152 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2153 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2154 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2157 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2158 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2159 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2160 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2161 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2162 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2165 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2166 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2167 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2168 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2169 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2170 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2171 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2172 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2173 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2174 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2175 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2177 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2178 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2182 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2183 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2184 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2185 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2187 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2189 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2190 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2191 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2193 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2194 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2197 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2198 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2199 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2202 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2203 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2205 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2207 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2208 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2210 * Moose::Meta::Class
2211 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2212 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2213 a required attribute
2215 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2216 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2217 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2218 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2220 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2221 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2223 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2224 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2225 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2226 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2227 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2228 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2229 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2230 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2232 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2233 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2234 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2236 * Roles and role application
2237 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2238 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2239 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2240 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2241 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2243 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2244 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2247 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2248 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2249 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2250 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2251 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2254 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2255 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2256 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2257 changes in the Moose internals.
2259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2261 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2264 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2265 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2266 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2267 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2270 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2271 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2272 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2274 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2275 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2276 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2277 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2278 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2279 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2280 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2281 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2282 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2283 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2284 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2285 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2286 constraint implementations.
2288 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2292 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2293 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2294 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2295 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2296 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2297 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2298 - added tests for this (rafl)
2300 * Moose::Meta::Class
2301 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2302 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2303 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2304 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2305 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2306 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2307 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2308 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2311 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2312 - added tests for this (thepler)
2314 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2315 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2316 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2317 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2320 * Moose::Meta::Class
2321 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2322 * Moose::Meta::Method
2325 * Moose::Error::Default
2326 * Moose::Error::Croak
2327 * Moose::Error::Confess
2328 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2329 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2330 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2331 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2332 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2333 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2335 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2337 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2338 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2340 * Moose::Unsweetened
2341 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2342 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2343 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2346 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2347 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2348 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2349 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2352 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2353 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2355 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2356 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2357 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2358 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2361 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2363 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2364 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2366 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2369 - Various bug fixes.
2371 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2372 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2374 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2376 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2377 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2378 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2379 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2380 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2381 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2383 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2384 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2385 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2387 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2388 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2389 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2392 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2393 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2394 dependency to 0.64_07.
2396 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2397 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2398 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2400 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2401 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2405 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2406 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2407 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2408 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2409 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2411 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2412 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2414 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2416 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2417 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2421 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2422 method when that method was provided by another role being
2423 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2424 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2426 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2428 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2429 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2431 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2432 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2433 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2434 - added test for this (t0m)
2436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2437 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2438 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2440 - added test for this (t0m)
2443 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2444 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2445 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2448 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2449 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2451 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2453 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2454 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2456 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2457 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2458 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2460 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2461 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2464 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2465 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2466 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2467 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2471 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2472 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2473 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2476 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2477 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2478 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2479 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2482 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2486 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2487 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2488 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2490 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2492 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2493 created so that the process can be more easily
2494 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2496 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2497 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2498 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2499 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2502 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2505 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2506 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2508 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2509 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2510 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2512 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2513 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2514 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2516 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2517 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2519 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2520 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2523 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2524 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2528 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2529 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2531 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2532 ... this is not my day today ...
2534 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2535 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2536 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2537 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2538 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2541 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2542 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2543 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2544 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2545 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2548 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2550 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2551 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2552 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2553 this is not ever something you want to do
2554 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2555 - added tests for this (stevan)
2558 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2560 - added test for this
2562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2563 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2564 - added tests for this (wreis)
2566 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2567 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2568 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2569 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2571 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2572 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2573 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2576 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2578 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2580 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2583 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2584 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2585 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2586 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2587 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2588 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2589 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2590 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2591 - added tests for this
2593 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2594 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2595 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2596 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2598 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2600 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2601 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2602 - added tests for this (sartak)
2603 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2604 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2607 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2609 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2610 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2613 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2614 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2615 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2617 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2619 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2620 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2623 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2624 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2625 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2628 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2629 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2631 - added docs for this (TODO).
2632 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2633 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2634 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2635 - fix builder and default both being used
2640 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2642 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2643 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2644 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2648 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2652 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2653 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2654 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2656 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2657 - move the ClassName type check code to
2658 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2660 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2661 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2663 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2664 (early morning release engineering)--
2666 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2667 which was causing the indexer to choke
2669 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2670 (late night release engineering)--
2672 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2673 changes in this release
2675 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2676 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2677 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2679 * Moose::Meta::Class
2680 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2681 since it is called so often by &meta
2683 * Moose::Meta::Class
2685 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2686 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2690 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2691 method for immutablization to check if the
2692 destructor object even needs to be created
2695 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2696 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2697 - added more descriptive error message to help
2698 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2699 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2701 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2703 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2704 XS based functionality is now optional
2705 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2706 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2707 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2709 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2710 to take care of this, mostly we added
2711 support for the package_name and name
2712 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2713 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2714 support regexp matching of names
2715 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2716 - tests added for this
2717 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2718 is currently not supported in roles,
2719 but, ... patches welcome
2720 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2721 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2722 the stack trace is usually not helpful
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
2728 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2729 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2730 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2731 - added test for this
2733 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2734 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2735 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2738 * Moose::Meta::Class
2739 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2743 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2745 - added tests for this
2746 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2747 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2750 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2751 themselves parameterizable types
2753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2754 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2755 called by the inlined immutable
2757 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2759 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2760 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2761 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2762 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2764 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2765 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2769 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2770 causing occasional cpantester failures
2771 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2772 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2774 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2776 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2777 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2780 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2781 ->body when looping through the
2782 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2784 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2785 eating the $@ values, and so not
2786 working correctly, it still kind of

2928 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2930 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3280 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3283 * Parameterized Types
3284 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3285 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3286 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3287 They can also be nested:
3288 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3289 And work with the type unions as well:
3290 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3292 * Better Framework Extendability
3293 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3294 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3295 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3296 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3299 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3300 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3301 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3302 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3463 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3464 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3465 - added tests and docs for this
3466 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3467 default for where be { 1 }
3468 - added test for this
3470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3471 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3472 merlyn for finding this bug
3473 - tests added for this
3474 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3477 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3478 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3479 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3480 - added tests for this
3482 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3484 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3496 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3497 where not handled correctly in roles
3498 - added tests for this
3500 * Moose::Meta::Class
3501 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3502 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3503 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3505 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3506 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3508 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3509 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3510 so this release is just to fix that.
3513 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3514 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3515 (thanks to konobi for this)
3516 - added tests and docs
3518 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3519 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3521 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3522 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3523 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3524 - added tests for this
3525 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3526 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3527 functions to facilitate introspection.
3529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3530 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3531 to build the list of delegated methods
3532 correctly (and not override important
3533 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3535 - added tests and docs for this
3536 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3537 so that you can actually document your
3538 attributes and inspect them through the
3540 - added tests and docs for this
3542 * Moose::Meta::Class
3543 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3544 it will first look in for the class in the
3545 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3546 then default to just loading $name.
3547 - added tests and docs for this
3549 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3550 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3551 - added test for this
3554 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3555 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3556 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3557 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3559 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3560 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3563 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3565 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3566 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3567 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3570 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3571 !! for this developer release to work !!
3573 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3574 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3575 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3576 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3577 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3578 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3579 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3580 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3581 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3582 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3583 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3585 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3586 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3587 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3588 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3591 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3592 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3593 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3594 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3595 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3597 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3599 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3600 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3603 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3604 called unless they actually need to be.
3605 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3606 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3607 DEMOLISH method present.
3609 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3610 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3611 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3612 type constraint, which allows for a
3613 hand optimized version of the type
3614 constraint to be used when possible.
3615 - Any internally created type constraints
3616 now provide an optimized version as well.
3618 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3620 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3621 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3622 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3625 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3626 your class namespace of these exported
3629 * Moose::Meta::Class
3630 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3631 comes up during global destruction
3633 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3637 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3640 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3641 - changed how we do type checks so that
3642 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3645 - moved accessor generation methods to
3646 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3647 conform to the API changes from
3650 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3651 - changed how constraints are compiled
3652 so that we do less recursion and more
3653 iteration. This makes the type check
3655 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3658 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3659 - created this from methods formerly found in
3660 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3662 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3663 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3665 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3666 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3668 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3669 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3671 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3673 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3674 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3675 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3676 - added tests for this
3677 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3678 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3679 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3680 - removed tests for this
3682 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3684 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3685 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3686 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3689 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3690 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3691 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3693 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3694 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3695 comments for more info.
3698 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3699 asked questions and common problems
3701 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3702 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3703 - added tests for this
3705 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3706 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3707 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3708 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3710 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3711 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3714 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3715 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3716 is much appreciated :)
3717 - added tests for this
3719 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3720 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3721 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3724 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3725 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3727 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3729 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3730 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3734 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3735 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3736 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3738 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3740 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3743 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3744 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3745 keywords because we need to localize them.
3746 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3748 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3749 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3750 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3753 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3756 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3757 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3758 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3761 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3762 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3763 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3765 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3767 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3768 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3769 bottom of your class file.
3772 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3775 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3777 - improved error message when loading modules so
3778 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3779 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3780 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3783 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3784 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3785 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3787 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3788 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3790 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3791 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3792 turn them on for you.
3793 - added tests for this
3794 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3795 in Moose::Meta::Class

3822 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3823 - This release works in combination with
3824 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3825 release because it uses the a new
3826 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3827 complete Role implementation. It has
3828 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3829 the the previous CPAN version. This
3830 release also lacks good updated docs,
3831 the official release will have updated docs.
3834 - refactored the keyword exports
3835 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3836 accepts more than one Role at a time

3842 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3843 accepts more than one Role at a time
3845 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3847 string enumerations which can be used as
3849 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3852 - more careful checking of params to new()
3855 - much work done on the role composition
3856 - many new tests for conflict detection
3857 and composition edge cases
3858 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3859 looking at the tests
3861 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3862 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3863 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3865 * Moose::Meta::Class

3868 - some small additions to support Roles
3870 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3871 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3873 - some small changes to support the new
3875 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3876 with the 'handles' option
3877 - added several tests for this
3878 - no docs for this yet

3882 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3883 thanks to chansen for this commit
3884 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3885 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3886 on a per-attribute basis
3887 - added tests for this
3888 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3889 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3890 experimental feature and probably not finished

3955 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3957 - added test for this
