1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
14 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
15 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
17 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
18 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
19 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
20 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
25 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
26 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
27 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
30 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
34 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
35 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
38 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
39 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
40 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
42 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
43 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
44 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. Fixes RT 60583. (doy)
48 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
49 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
50 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
51 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
53 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
57 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
58 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
59 the attribute's reference.
63 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
64 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
68 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
69 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
70 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
73 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
74 the Object constraint).
76 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
80 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
81 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
86 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
88 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
92 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
95 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
97 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
101 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
103 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
107 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
110 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
111 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
112 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
114 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
117 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
121 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
123 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
127 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
129 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
133 * Include changes from 2.0010.
135 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
139 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
140 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
144 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
145 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
146 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
151 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
153 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
157 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
158 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
160 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
164 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
166 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
170 * Various packaging issues.
172 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
176 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
177 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
182 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
183 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
184 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
188 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
189 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
190 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
192 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
196 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
197 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
199 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
203 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
204 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
206 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
209 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
210 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
214 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
215 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
217 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
221 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
222 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
226 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
228 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
232 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
234 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
238 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
239 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
241 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
245 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
247 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
251 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
253 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
254 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
256 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
260 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
261 skips every other role. (rjbs)
263 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
264 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
265 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
266 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
267 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
269 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
273 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
274 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
275 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
278 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
283 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
285 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
286 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
288 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
292 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
293 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
294 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
298 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
299 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
301 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
302 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
304 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
305 environments. (doy, mateu)
307 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
311 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
312 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
313 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
314 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
318 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
319 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
321 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
325 * Update conflicts list.
328 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
332 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
333 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
334 details. (Dave Rolsky)
336 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
337 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
338 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
339 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
340 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
344 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
345 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
346 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
347 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
348 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
351 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
355 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
356 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
358 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
361 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
365 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
366 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
367 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
368 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
370 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
371 immutable classes). (mo)
373 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
374 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
375 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
377 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
381 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
383 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
385 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
389 * Fix some indexing issues.
391 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
393 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
397 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
398 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
399 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
400 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
401 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
403 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
404 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
409 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
410 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
411 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
412 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
414 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
415 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
416 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
420 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
421 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
424 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
428 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
429 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
433 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
437 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
438 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
439 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
440 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
443 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
447 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
450 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
454 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
455 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
456 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
459 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
463 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
464 policy. (Chris Prather)
466 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
467 on this new support policy. (doy)
471 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
472 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
473 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
475 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
476 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
478 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
482 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
483 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
484 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
485 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
488 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
492 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
493 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
496 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
500 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
501 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
503 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
504 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
508 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
509 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
510 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
511 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
512 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
513 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
515 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
516 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
518 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
519 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
520 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
521 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
523 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
524 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
526 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
531 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
532 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
534 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
538 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
539 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
540 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
542 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
546 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
547 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
548 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
550 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
551 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
554 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
555 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
558 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
559 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
560 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
562 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
563 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
568 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
569 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
570 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
571 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
573 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
574 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
576 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
577 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
579 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
580 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
581 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
582 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
584 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
585 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
586 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
589 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
590 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
591 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
592 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
595 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
598 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
599 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
600 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
602 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
606 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
607 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
608 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
610 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
611 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
612 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
615 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
616 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
617 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
619 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
620 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
621 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
623 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
624 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
628 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
629 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
630 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
632 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
633 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
634 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
635 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
637 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
641 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
642 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
643 value is a reference.
645 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
646 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
648 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
652 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
653 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
654 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
656 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
660 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
661 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
665 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
666 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
667 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
669 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
670 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
671 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
673 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
677 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
679 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
683 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
685 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
686 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
691 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
692 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
694 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
695 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
696 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
697 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
698 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
700 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
701 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
702 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
703 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
705 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
709 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
710 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
715 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
717 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
719 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
724 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
726 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
730 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
731 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
732 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
734 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
735 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
736 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
737 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
739 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
740 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
741 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
742 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
743 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
746 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
751 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
752 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
753 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
754 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
755 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
758 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
762 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
765 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
766 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
770 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
771 function (not just method). (doy)
775 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
776 and aren't easily installable/testable.
778 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
782 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
783 to be overridden more easily (doy).
785 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
789 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
790 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
792 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
796 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
797 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
798 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
800 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
804 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
805 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
806 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
808 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
809 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
813 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
814 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
816 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
817 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
821 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
822 is applied to a class (t0m).
824 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
825 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
827 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
830 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
831 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
833 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
834 be much more robust. (doy)
836 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
838 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
841 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
845 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
846 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
848 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
852 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
853 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
855 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
858 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
859 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
860 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
862 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
863 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
864 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
867 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
869 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
873 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
874 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
878 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
880 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
885 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
889 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
890 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
894 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
896 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
900 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
901 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
905 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
906 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
910 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
911 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
913 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
917 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
918 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
919 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
922 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
926 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
927 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
928 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
929 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
931 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
935 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
936 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
937 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
941 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
944 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
949 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
950 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
954 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
955 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
957 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
958 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
959 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
960 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
962 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
966 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
970 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
971 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
973 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
974 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
975 - Moose::Util::does_role
976 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
977 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
978 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
980 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
984 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
985 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
986 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
989 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
993 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
994 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
997 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1001 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1002 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1005 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1009 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1011 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1012 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1014 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1015 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1016 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1018 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1019 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1020 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1023 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1024 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1026 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1027 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1028 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1030 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1032 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1033 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1035 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1037 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1040 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1041 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1043 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1044 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1046 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1047 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1048 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1049 dependencies installed.
1051 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1052 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1055 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1057 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1061 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1063 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1064 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1065 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1067 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1068 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1069 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1071 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1072 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1075 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1076 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1077 others. (nothingmuch)
1079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1080 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1081 remove_accessors. (doy)
1083 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1084 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1085 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1088 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1090 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1091 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1092 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1093 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1095 * Moose::Meta::Class
1096 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1097 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1099 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1100 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1102 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1104 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1105 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1108 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1109 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1110 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1111 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1112 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1114 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1115 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1117 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1118 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1119 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1120 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1124 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1125 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1126 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1127 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1129 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1130 which were not receiving the value of
1131 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1132 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1133 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1134 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1138 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1139 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1140 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1141 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1142 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1145 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1146 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1147 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1148 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1150 * Moose::Meta::Class
1151 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1152 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1153 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1156 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1158 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1161 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1162 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1165 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1166 class if you pass it options for
1167 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1168 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1169 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1170 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1171 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1172 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1173 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1174 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1175 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1177 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1178 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1179 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1180 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1181 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1184 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1186 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1187 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1189 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1190 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1191 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1192 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1193 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1194 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1197 * Moose::Error::Croak
1198 * Moose::Error::Confess
1199 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1200 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1203 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1206 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1207 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1208 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Class
1211 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1214 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1215 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1216 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1218 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1219 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1220 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1221 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1222 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1224 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1225 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1228 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1230 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1231 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1234 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1235 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1239 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1240 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1243 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1244 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1245 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1246 using it for new code!
1248 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1249 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1250 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1251 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1253 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1254 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1255 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1256 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1257 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1258 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1259 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1260 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1263 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1266 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1267 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1271 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1274 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1275 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1277 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1278 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1279 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1280 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1282 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1283 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1284 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1287 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1288 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1291 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1292 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1293 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1294 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1295 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1296 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1298 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1300 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1303 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1304 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1305 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1307 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1308 associated_methods. (hdp)
1309 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1310 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1311 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1312 misspelled) arguments
1314 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1315 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1316 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1317 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1319 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1320 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1321 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1323 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1327 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1328 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1331 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1332 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1334 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1335 * Moose::Meta::Class
1336 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1337 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1339 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1340 * Moose::Manual::Types
1341 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1342 string parsing rathole (mst)
1344 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1345 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1346 using plain objects instead
1348 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1349 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1350 that's what we need.
1352 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1353 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1354 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1355 three times today (perigrin)
1356 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1357 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1359 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1360 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1361 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1362 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1365 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1366 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1367 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1368 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1369 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1370 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1373 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1374 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1375 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1376 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1379 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1381 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1384 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1386 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1389 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1390 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1391 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1395 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1396 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1399 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1400 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1402 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1403 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1404 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1406 * Moose::Unsweetened
1407 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1409 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1410 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1413 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1417 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1418 methods during global destruction (doy)
1420 * Moose::Meta::Class
1421 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1422 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1423 consumption (Sartak)
1425 * Moose::Meta::Class
1426 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1427 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1430 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1431 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1434 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1435 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1437 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1439 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1443 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1444 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1445 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1448 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1449 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1450 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1453 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1455 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1456 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1457 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1460 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1461 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1462 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1463 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1465 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1466 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1467 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1470 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1473 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1474 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1475 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1479 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1480 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1482 * Moose::Meta::Class
1483 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1485 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1487 * Moose::Meta::Class
1488 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1489 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1492 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1493 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1496 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1497 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1500 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1503 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1505 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1506 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1509 * Moose::Meta::Class
1510 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1512 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1513 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1516 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1517 * More deprecations and renamings
1518 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1519 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1520 when an object is constructed)
1523 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1524 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1525 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1527 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1528 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1529 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1530 feature, and it works again.
1533 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1535 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1537 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1538 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1539 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1542 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1543 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1544 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1545 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1547 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1548 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1549 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1550 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1551 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1554 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1555 metaclass object. (hdp)
1557 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1558 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1559 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1560 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1561 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1562 point out this fact. (hdp)
1564 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1565 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1567 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1568 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1570 * Moose::Meta::Class
1571 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1572 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1573 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1574 called during instance construction were passed the
1575 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1576 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1578 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1579 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1582 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1583 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1584 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1587 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1588 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1589 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1590 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1591 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1593 - Moose::Meta::Class
1594 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1596 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1597 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1598 when an object is constructed)
1599 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1601 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1602 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1603 when an object is constructed)
1604 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1605 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1606 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1609 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1611 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1612 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1614 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1616 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1617 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1618 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1620 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1621 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1622 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1624 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1626 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1627 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1629 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1630 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1633 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1634 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1637 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1638 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1639 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1642 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1646 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1647 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1648 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1651 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1654 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1655 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1656 with recommended workarounds.
1658 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1659 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1662 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1663 (yes, spelled like that).
1665 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1666 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1668 * Moose::Meta::Class
1669 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1670 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1672 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1675 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1676 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1677 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1678 instead. Reported by doy.
1680 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1682 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1683 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1685 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1686 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1687 message) is now deprecated.
1688 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1689 often got it wrong. For example:
1691 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1693 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1697 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1698 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1699 bite you in weird cases.
1701 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1702 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1703 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1704 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1706 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1707 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1711 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1714 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1715 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1718 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1719 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1721 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1722 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1725 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1727 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1728 - added tests for this (stevan)
1730 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1731 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1732 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1733 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1737 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1738 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1739 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1740 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1742 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1743 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1744 - added tests for this (rafl)
1746 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1747 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1748 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1749 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1753 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1754 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1757 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1758 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1759 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1761 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1763 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1764 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1766 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1767 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1768 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1769 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1770 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1773 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1774 error message did not specify the attribute name
1777 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1779 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1781 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1782 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1783 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1785 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1786 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1789 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1791 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1792 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1793 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1794 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1796 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1798 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1799 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1800 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1801 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1804 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1805 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1808 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1809 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1810 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1811 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1814 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1815 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1816 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1817 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1820 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1821 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1822 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1823 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1824 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1826 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1827 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1828 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1829 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1830 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1831 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1834 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1836 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1837 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1838 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1839 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1841 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1842 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1845 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1849 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1850 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1852 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1853 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1854 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1855 guts. (nothingmuch).
1857 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1859 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1861 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1862 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1863 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1864 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1866 * Moose::Meta::Class
1867 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1870 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1871 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1873 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1874 * Moose::Unsweetened
1875 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1878 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1879 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1880 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1881 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1882 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1883 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1885 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1886 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1887 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1888 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1889 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1890 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1891 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1892 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1893 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1894 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1898 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1899 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1902 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1903 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1904 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1906 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1907 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1908 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1909 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1910 same methods for a single role did not work
1911 right (worked just fine with multiple
1913 - added test for this (stevan)
1915 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1916 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1917 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1920 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1921 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1922 - added test for this (t0m)
1925 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1926 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1927 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1929 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1930 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1931 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1932 - added test for this (t0m)
1934 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1935 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1936 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1937 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1938 - added test for this (perigrin)
1941 - create method for constructing a role
1942 dynamically (Sartak)
1943 - added test for this (Sartak)
1944 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1945 - added test for this (Sartak)
1948 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1950 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1951 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1952 methods is useful (Sartak)
1954 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1955 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1956 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1959 * Moose::Meta::Class
1960 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1961 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1962 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1963 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1964 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1965 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1968 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1969 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1971 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1972 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1973 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1974 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1975 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1977 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1979 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1980 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1981 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1984 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1985 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1986 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1987 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1988 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1989 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1993 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1994 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1995 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1996 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1997 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1998 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1999 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2000 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2001 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2002 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2004 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2005 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2008 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2009 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2010 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2011 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2012 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2014 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2016 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2017 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2018 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2020 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2021 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2023 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2024 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2025 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2026 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2029 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2030 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2032 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2034 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2035 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2037 * Moose::Meta::Class
2038 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2039 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2040 a required attribute
2042 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2043 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2044 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2045 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2047 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2048 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2050 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2051 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2052 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2053 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2054 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2055 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2056 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2057 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2059 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2060 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2061 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2063 * Roles and role application
2064 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2065 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2066 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2067 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2068 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2070 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2071 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2074 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2075 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2076 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2077 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2078 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2081 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2082 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2083 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2084 changes in the Moose internals.
2086 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2087 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2088 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2091 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2092 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2093 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2094 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2096 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2097 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2098 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2099 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2102 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2103 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2104 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2105 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2106 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2107 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2108 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2109 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2110 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2111 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2112 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2113 constraint implementations.
2115 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2119 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2120 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2121 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2122 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2123 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2124 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2125 - added tests for this (rafl)
2127 * Moose::Meta::Class
2128 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2129 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2130 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2131 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2132 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2133 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2134 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2135 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2138 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2139 - added tests for this (thepler)
2141 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2142 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2143 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2144 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2147 * Moose::Meta::Class
2148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2149 * Moose::Meta::Method
2152 * Moose::Error::Default
2153 * Moose::Error::Croak
2154 * Moose::Error::Confess
2155 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2156 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2157 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2158 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2159 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2160 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2162 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2164 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2165 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2167 * Moose::Unsweetened
2168 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2169 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2170 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2173 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2174 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2175 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2176 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2179 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2180 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2182 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2183 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2184 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2185 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2228 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2232 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2233 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2234 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2235 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2236 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2239 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2241 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2243 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2244 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2248 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2249 method when that method was provided by another role being
2250 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2251 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2253 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2261 - added test for this (t0m)
2263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2264 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2265 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2267 - added test for this (t0m)
2270 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2271 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2272 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2275 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2276 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2278 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2280 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2281 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2283 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2284 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2285 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2287 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2288 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2291 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2294 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2298 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2299 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2300 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2304 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2305 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

2309 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2313 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2319 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2320 created so that the process can be more easily

2355 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2356 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2358 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2359 ... this is not my day today ...
2361 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2362 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2363 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2364 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2365 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2368 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2369 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2370 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2371 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2372 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2375 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2377 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2378 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2379 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2380 this is not ever something you want to do
2381 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2382 - added tests for this (stevan)
2385 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2387 - added test for this

2396 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2398 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2399 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2400 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2403 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2405 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2407 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2410 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2411 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2412 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2413 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2414 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2415 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2416 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2417 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2418 - added tests for this
2420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2421 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2422 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2423 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2494 which was causing the indexer to choke
2496 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2497 (late night release engineering)--
2499 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2500 changes in this release

2513 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2517 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2518 method for immutablization to check if the
2519 destructor object even needs to be created
2522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2523 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2524 - added more descriptive error message to help
2525 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2526 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2528 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2530 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2531 XS based functionality is now optional
2532 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2533 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2534 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2536 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2537 to take care of this, mostly we added
2538 support for the package_name and name
2539 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2540 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2541 support regexp matching of names
2542 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2543 - tests added for this
2544 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2545 is currently not supported in roles,
2546 but, ... patches welcome
2547 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2548 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2549 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2552 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2553 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2554 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2555 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2556 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2557 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2558 - added test for this
2560 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2561 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2562 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2565 * Moose::Meta::Class
2566 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2570 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2572 - added tests for this
2573 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2574 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2577 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2578 themselves parameterizable types

2582 called by the inlined immutable
2584 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2586 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2587 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2588 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2589 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

2604 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2607 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2608 ->body when looping through the
2609 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2611 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2612 eating the $@ values, and so not
2613 working correctly, it still kind of
2614 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2615 - added tests for this
2617 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2618 - added new recipe for immutable
2619 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2621 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2637 drink more coffee before
2638 doing release engineering
2640 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2641 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2642 modules. This fixes that.

2674 - added test for this
2676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2755 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2757 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2797 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2800 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2801 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2802 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2803 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2805 - added more delegation tests
2806 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2807 support traits and their introspection.
2808 - added tests for this

3048 - added tests for this
3051 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3052 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3094 - fixed how required methods are handled
3095 when they encounter overriden or modified
3096 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3097 - added tests for this
3099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3100 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3101 the | always creates a union and so is
3102 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3105 - added more tests for this
3107 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3110 * Parameterized Types
3111 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3112 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3113 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3114 They can also be nested:
3115 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3116 And work with the type unions as well:
3117 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3119 * Better Framework Extendability
3120 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3121 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3122 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3123 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3126 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3127 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3128 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3129 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3132 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3134 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3135 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3363 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3364 so that you can actually document your
3365 attributes and inspect them through the
3367 - added tests and docs for this
3369 * Moose::Meta::Class
3370 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3371 it will first look in for the class in the
3372 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3373 then default to just loading $name.
3374 - added tests and docs for this
3376 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3377 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3378 - added test for this
3381 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3382 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3383 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3384 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3386 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3387 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3390 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3392 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3393 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3394 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3397 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3398 !! for this developer release to work !!
3400 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3401 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3402 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3403 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3404 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3405 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3406 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3407 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3408 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3409 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3410 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3412 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3413 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3414 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3415 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3418 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3420 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3421 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3422 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3424 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3426 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3427 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3430 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3431 called unless they actually need to be.
3432 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3433 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3434 DEMOLISH method present.
3436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3437 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3438 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3439 type constraint, which allows for a
3440 hand optimized version of the type
3441 constraint to be used when possible.
3442 - Any internally created type constraints
3443 now provide an optimized version as well.
3445 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3447 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3448 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3449 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3451 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3452 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3453 your class namespace of these exported
3456 * Moose::Meta::Class
3457 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3458 comes up during global destruction
3460 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3464 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3467 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3468 - changed how we do type checks so that
3469 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3472 - moved accessor generation methods to
3473 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3474 conform to the API changes from
3477 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3478 - changed how constraints are compiled
3479 so that we do less recursion and more
3480 iteration. This makes the type check
3482 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3486 - created this from methods formerly found in
3487 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3489 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3490 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3492 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3493 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3495 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3496 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3498 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3500 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3501 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3502 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3503 - added tests for this
3504 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3505 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3506 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3507 - removed tests for this
3509 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3511 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3512 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3513 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3516 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3517 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3518 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3520 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3521 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3522 comments for more info.
3525 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3526 asked questions and common problems
3528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3529 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3530 - added tests for this
3532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3533 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3534 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3535 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3537 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3538 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3541 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3542 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3543 is much appreciated :)
3544 - added tests for this
3546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3547 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3548 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3552 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3554 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3556 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3557 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3561 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3562 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3563 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3565 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3567 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3570 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3571 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3572 keywords because we need to localize them.
3573 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3575 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3576 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3577 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3580 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3584 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3585 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3588 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3589 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3590 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3592 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3594 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3595 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3596 bottom of your class file.
3599 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3602 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3604 - improved error message when loading modules so
3605 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3606 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3607 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3610 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3611 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3612 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3614 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3615 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3617 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3618 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3619 turn them on for you.
3620 - added tests for this
3621 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3622 in Moose::Meta::Class
3625 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3626 automatically turned on for you.

3645 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3648 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3649 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3650 - This release works in combination with
3651 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3652 release because it uses the a new
3653 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3654 complete Role implementation. It has
3655 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3656 the the previous CPAN version. This
3657 release also lacks good updated docs,
3658 the official release will have updated docs.
3661 - refactored the keyword exports
3662 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3663 accepts more than one Role at a time
3664 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3665 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3668 - refactored the keyword exports
3669 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3670 accepts more than one Role at a time
3672 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3673 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3674 string enumerations which can be used as
3676 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3679 - more careful checking of params to new()
3682 - much work done on the role composition
3683 - many new tests for conflict detection
3684 and composition edge cases
3685 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3686 looking at the tests
3688 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3689 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3690 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3692 * Moose::Meta::Class
3693 - some small changes to support the new
3695 - some small additions to support Roles
3697 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3698 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3700 - some small changes to support the new
3702 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3703 with the 'handles' option
3704 - added several tests for this
3705 - no docs for this yet
3707 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3709 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3710 thanks to chansen for this commit
3711 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3712 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3713 on a per-attribute basis
3714 - added tests for this
3715 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3716 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3717 experimental feature and probably not finished
3718 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3719 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3720 - added tests for this

3735 construct_instance (for the better)
3737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3782 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3784 - added test for this
3787 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
