1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
9 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
13 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
14 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
15 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
16 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
17 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
22 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
23 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
24 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
25 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
27 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
28 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
29 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
31 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
32 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
33 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
34 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
36 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
40 * Minor documentation fixes.
42 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
45 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
49 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
50 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
52 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
56 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
58 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
62 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
64 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
67 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
71 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
73 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
74 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
78 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
79 more values were required. (rjbs)
81 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
85 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
86 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
90 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
91 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
92 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
93 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
95 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
96 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
97 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
99 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
100 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
103 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
104 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
105 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
106 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
110 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
111 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
112 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
113 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
116 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
120 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
121 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
122 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
124 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
125 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
126 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
128 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
129 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
130 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
132 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
133 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
136 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
137 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
138 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
140 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
141 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
144 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
145 the associated stash. (doy)
149 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
150 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
151 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
152 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
154 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
158 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
159 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
160 the attribute's reference.
164 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
165 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
170 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
171 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
172 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
175 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
176 the Object constraint).
178 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
182 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
183 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
188 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
190 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
194 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
197 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
199 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
203 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
205 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
209 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
212 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
213 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
214 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
216 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
219 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
223 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
225 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
229 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
231 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
235 * Include changes from 2.0010.
237 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
241 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
242 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
246 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
247 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
248 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
253 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
255 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
259 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
260 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
262 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
266 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
268 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
272 * Various packaging issues.
274 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
278 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
279 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
284 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
285 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
286 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
290 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
291 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
292 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
294 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
298 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
299 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
301 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
305 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
306 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
308 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
311 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
312 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
316 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
317 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
319 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
323 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
324 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
328 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
330 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
334 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
336 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
340 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
341 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
343 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
347 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
349 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
353 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
355 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
356 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
358 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
362 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
363 skips every other role. (rjbs)
365 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
366 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
367 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
368 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
369 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
371 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
375 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
376 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
377 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
380 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
385 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
387 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
388 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
390 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
394 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
395 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
396 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
400 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
401 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
403 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
404 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
406 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
407 environments. (doy, mateu)
409 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
413 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
414 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
415 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
416 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
420 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
421 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
423 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
427 * Update conflicts list.
430 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
434 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
435 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
436 details. (Dave Rolsky)
438 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
439 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
440 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
441 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
442 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
446 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
447 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
448 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
449 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
450 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
453 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
457 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
458 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
460 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
463 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
467 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
468 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
469 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
470 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
472 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
473 immutable classes). (mo)
475 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
476 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
477 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
479 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
483 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
485 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
487 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
491 * Fix some indexing issues.
493 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
495 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
499 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
500 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
501 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
502 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
503 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
505 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
506 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
511 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
512 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
513 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
514 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
516 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
517 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
518 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
522 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
523 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
526 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
530 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
531 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
535 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
539 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
540 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
541 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
542 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
545 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
549 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
552 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
556 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
557 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
558 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
561 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
565 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
566 policy. (Chris Prather)
568 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
569 on this new support policy. (doy)
573 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
574 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
575 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
577 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
578 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
580 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
584 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
585 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
586 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
587 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
590 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
594 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
595 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
598 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
602 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
603 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
605 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
606 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
610 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
611 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
612 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
613 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
614 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
615 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
617 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
618 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
620 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
621 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
622 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
623 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
625 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
626 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
628 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
633 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
634 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
636 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
640 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
641 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
642 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
644 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
648 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
649 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
650 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
652 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
653 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
656 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
657 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
660 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
661 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
662 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
664 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
665 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
670 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
671 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
672 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
673 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
675 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
676 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
678 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
679 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
681 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
682 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
683 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
684 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
686 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
687 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
688 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
691 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
692 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
693 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
694 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
696 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
697 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
700 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
701 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
702 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
704 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
708 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
709 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
710 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
712 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
713 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
714 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
717 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
718 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
719 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
721 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
722 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
723 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
725 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
726 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
730 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
731 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
732 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
734 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
735 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
736 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
737 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
739 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
743 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
744 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
745 value is a reference.
747 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
748 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
750 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
754 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
755 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
756 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
758 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
762 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
763 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
767 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
768 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
769 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
771 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
772 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
773 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
775 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
779 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
781 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
785 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
787 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
788 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
793 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
794 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
796 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
797 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
798 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
799 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
800 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
802 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
803 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
804 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
805 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
807 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
811 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
812 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
817 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
819 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
821 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
826 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
828 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
832 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
833 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
834 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
836 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
837 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
838 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
839 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
841 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
842 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
843 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
844 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
845 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
848 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
853 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
854 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
855 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
856 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
857 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
860 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
864 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
867 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
868 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
872 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
873 function (not just method). (doy)
877 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
878 and aren't easily installable/testable.
880 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
884 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
885 to be overridden more easily (doy).
887 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
891 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
892 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
894 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
898 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
899 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
900 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
902 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
906 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
907 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
908 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
910 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
911 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
915 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
916 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
918 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
919 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
923 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
924 is applied to a class (t0m).
926 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
927 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
929 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
932 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
933 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
935 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
936 be much more robust. (doy)
938 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
940 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
943 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
947 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
948 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
950 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
954 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
955 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
957 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
960 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
961 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
962 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
964 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
965 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
966 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
969 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
971 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
975 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
976 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
980 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
982 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
987 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
991 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
992 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
996 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
998 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1002 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1003 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1007 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1008 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1012 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1013 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1015 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1019 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1020 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1021 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1024 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1028 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1029 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1030 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1031 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1033 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1037 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1038 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1039 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1043 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1044 (Michael G. Schwern)
1046 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1050 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1051 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1052 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1056 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1057 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1059 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1060 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1061 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1062 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1064 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1068 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1072 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1073 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1075 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1076 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1077 - Moose::Util::does_role
1078 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1079 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1080 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1082 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1086 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1087 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1088 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1091 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1095 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1096 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1099 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1103 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1104 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1107 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1111 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1113 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1114 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1116 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1117 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1118 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1120 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1121 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1122 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1125 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1126 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1128 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1129 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1130 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1132 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1134 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1135 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1137 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1139 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1142 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1143 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1145 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1146 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1148 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1149 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1150 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1151 dependencies installed.
1153 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1154 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1157 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1159 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1163 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1166 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1167 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1170 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1171 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1173 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1174 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1177 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1178 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1179 others. (nothingmuch)
1181 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1182 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1183 remove_accessors. (doy)
1185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1186 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1187 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1189 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1190 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1192 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1193 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1194 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1195 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1197 * Moose::Meta::Class
1198 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1199 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1201 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1202 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1204 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1206 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1207 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1211 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1212 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1213 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1214 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1216 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1219 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1220 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1221 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1222 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1225 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1226 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1227 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1228 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1229 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1231 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1232 which were not receiving the value of
1233 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1234 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1235 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1236 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1240 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1241 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1242 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1243 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1244 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1248 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1249 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1250 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Class
1253 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1254 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1255 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1258 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1260 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1263 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1264 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1267 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1268 class if you pass it options for
1269 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1270 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1271 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1272 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1273 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1274 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1275 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1276 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1277 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1280 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1281 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1282 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1283 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1286 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1288 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1289 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1292 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1293 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1294 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1295 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1296 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1299 * Moose::Error::Croak
1300 * Moose::Error::Confess
1301 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1302 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1305 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1308 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1309 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1310 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1312 * Moose::Meta::Class
1313 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1316 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1317 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1318 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1320 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1321 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1322 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1323 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1324 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1326 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1327 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1330 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1332 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1333 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1336 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1337 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1339 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1341 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1342 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1344 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1345 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1346 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1347 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1348 using it for new code!
1350 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1351 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1352 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1353 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1355 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1356 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1357 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1358 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1359 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1360 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1361 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1362 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1365 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1368 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1369 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1372 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1373 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1375 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1376 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1377 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1379 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1380 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1381 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1382 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1384 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1385 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1386 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1388 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1389 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1390 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1393 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1394 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1395 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1396 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1397 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1398 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1400 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1402 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1406 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1407 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1409 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1410 associated_methods. (hdp)
1411 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1412 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1413 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1414 misspelled) arguments
1416 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1417 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1418 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1419 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1421 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1422 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1423 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1425 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1428 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1429 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1430 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1433 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1434 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1436 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1437 * Moose::Meta::Class
1438 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1439 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1441 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1442 * Moose::Manual::Types
1443 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1444 string parsing rathole (mst)
1446 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1447 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1448 using plain objects instead
1450 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1451 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1452 that's what we need.
1454 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1455 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1456 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1457 three times today (perigrin)
1458 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1459 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1462 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1463 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1464 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1467 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1468 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1469 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1470 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1471 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1472 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1475 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1476 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1477 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1478 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1481 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1483 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1486 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1488 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1491 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1492 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1493 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1497 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1498 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1501 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1502 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1504 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1505 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1506 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1508 * Moose::Unsweetened
1509 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1511 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1512 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1515 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1519 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1520 methods during global destruction (doy)
1522 * Moose::Meta::Class
1523 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1524 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1525 consumption (Sartak)
1527 * Moose::Meta::Class
1528 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1529 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1532 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1533 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1536 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1537 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1539 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1541 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1545 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1546 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1547 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1550 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1551 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1552 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1555 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1557 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1558 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1559 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1563 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1564 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1565 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1567 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1568 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1569 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1572 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1575 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1576 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1577 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1581 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1582 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1584 * Moose::Meta::Class
1585 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1587 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1589 * Moose::Meta::Class
1590 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1591 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1594 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1595 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1598 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1599 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1602 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1605 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1607 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1608 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1611 * Moose::Meta::Class
1612 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1614 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1615 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1618 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1619 * More deprecations and renamings
1620 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1621 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1622 when an object is constructed)
1625 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1626 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1627 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1629 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1630 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1631 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1632 feature, and it works again.
1635 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1637 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1639 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1640 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1641 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1644 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1645 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1646 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1647 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1649 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1650 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1651 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1652 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1653 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1656 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1657 metaclass object. (hdp)
1659 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1661 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1662 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1663 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1664 point out this fact. (hdp)
1666 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1667 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1670 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1672 * Moose::Meta::Class
1673 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1674 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1675 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1676 called during instance construction were passed the
1677 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1678 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1680 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1681 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1684 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1685 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1686 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1689 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1690 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1691 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1692 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1693 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1695 - Moose::Meta::Class
1696 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1698 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1699 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1700 when an object is constructed)
1701 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1703 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1704 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1705 when an object is constructed)
1706 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1707 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1708 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1711 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1713 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1714 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1716 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1718 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1719 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1720 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1723 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1724 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1726 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1729 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1731 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1732 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1736 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1739 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1740 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1741 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1743 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1744 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1748 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1749 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1750 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1752 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1753 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1756 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1757 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1758 with recommended workarounds.
1760 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1761 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1763 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1764 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1765 (yes, spelled like that).
1767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1768 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1770 * Moose::Meta::Class
1771 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1772 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1774 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1776 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1777 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1778 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1779 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1780 instead. Reported by doy.
1782 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1784 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1785 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1788 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1789 message) is now deprecated.
1790 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1791 often got it wrong. For example:
1793 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1795 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1799 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1800 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1801 bite you in weird cases.
1803 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1804 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1805 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1806 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1808 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1809 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1813 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1816 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1817 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1820 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1821 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1823 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1824 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1827 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1829 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1830 - added tests for this (stevan)
1832 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1833 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1834 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1835 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1839 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1840 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1841 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1842 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1844 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1845 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1846 - added tests for this (rafl)
1848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1849 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1850 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1851 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1855 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1856 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1859 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1860 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1861 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1863 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1865 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1866 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1868 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1869 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1870 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1871 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1872 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1874 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1875 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1876 error message did not specify the attribute name
1879 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1881 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1883 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1884 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1885 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1887 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1888 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1891 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1893 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1894 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1895 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1896 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1898 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1900 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1901 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1902 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1903 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1906 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1907 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1909 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1910 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1911 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1912 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1913 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1915 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1916 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1917 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1918 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1919 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1922 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1923 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1924 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1925 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1926 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1928 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1929 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1930 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1931 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1932 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1933 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1935 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1936 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1938 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1939 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1940 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1941 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1943 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1944 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1947 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1951 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1952 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1954 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1955 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1956 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1957 guts. (nothingmuch).
1959 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1961 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1963 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1964 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1965 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1966 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1968 * Moose::Meta::Class
1969 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1972 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1973 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1975 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1976 * Moose::Unsweetened
1977 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1980 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1981 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1982 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1983 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1984 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1985 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1987 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1988 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1989 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1990 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1991 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1992 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1993 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1994 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1995 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1996 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1998 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2000 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2001 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2003 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2004 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2005 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2006 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2009 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2010 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2011 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2012 same methods for a single role did not work
2013 right (worked just fine with multiple
2015 - added test for this (stevan)
2017 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2018 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2019 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2022 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2023 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2024 - added test for this (t0m)
2027 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2028 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2029 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2032 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2033 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2034 - added test for this (t0m)
2036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2037 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2038 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2039 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2040 - added test for this (perigrin)
2043 - create method for constructing a role
2044 dynamically (Sartak)
2045 - added test for this (Sartak)
2046 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2047 - added test for this (Sartak)
2050 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2052 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2053 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2054 methods is useful (Sartak)
2056 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2058 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2061 * Moose::Meta::Class
2062 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2063 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2064 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2065 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2066 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2067 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2070 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2071 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2073 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2074 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2075 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2076 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2077 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2079 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2081 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2082 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2083 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2086 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2087 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2088 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2089 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2090 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2091 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2094 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2095 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2096 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2097 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2098 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2099 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2100 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2101 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2102 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2103 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2104 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2106 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2107 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2110 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2111 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2112 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2113 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2114 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2116 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2118 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2119 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2120 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2123 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2125 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2126 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2127 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2128 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2131 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2132 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2134 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2136 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2137 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2139 * Moose::Meta::Class
2140 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2141 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2142 a required attribute
2144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2145 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2146 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2147 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2149 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2150 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2152 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2153 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2154 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2155 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2156 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2157 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2158 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2159 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2161 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2162 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2163 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2165 * Roles and role application
2166 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2167 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2168 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2169 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2170 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2172 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2173 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2176 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2177 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2178 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2179 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2180 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2183 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2184 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2185 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2186 changes in the Moose internals.
2188 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2189 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2190 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2194 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2195 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2196 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2198 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2199 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2200 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2201 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2204 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2205 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2206 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2207 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2208 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2209 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2210 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2211 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2212 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2213 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2214 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2215 constraint implementations.
2217 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2221 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2222 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2223 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2224 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2225 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2226 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2227 - added tests for this (rafl)
2229 * Moose::Meta::Class
2230 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2231 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2232 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2233 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2234 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2235 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2236 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2237 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2240 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2241 - added tests for this (thepler)
2243 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2244 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2245 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2246 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2249 * Moose::Meta::Class
2250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2251 * Moose::Meta::Method
2254 * Moose::Error::Default
2255 * Moose::Error::Croak
2256 * Moose::Error::Confess
2257 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2258 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2259 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2260 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2261 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2262 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2264 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2266 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2267 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2269 * Moose::Unsweetened
2270 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2271 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2272 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2274 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2275 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2276 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2277 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2278 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2281 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2282 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2284 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2285 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2286 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2287 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2290 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2292 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2293 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2295 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2298 - Various bug fixes.
2300 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2301 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2303 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2305 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2306 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2307 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2308 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2309 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2310 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2312 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2313 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2314 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2316 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2317 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2318 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2321 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2322 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2323 dependency to 0.64_07.
2325 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2326 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2327 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2329 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2330 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2333 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2334 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2335 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2336 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2337 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2338 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2340 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2341 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2343 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2345 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2346 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2350 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2351 method when that method was provided by another role being
2352 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2353 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2355 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2357 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2358 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2360 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2361 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2362 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2363 - added test for this (t0m)
2365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2366 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2367 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2369 - added test for this (t0m)
2372 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2373 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2374 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2377 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2378 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2380 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2382 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2383 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2385 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2386 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2387 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2389 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2390 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2393 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2394 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2395 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2396 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2400 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2401 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2402 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2405 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2406 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2407 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2408 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2411 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2415 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2416 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2417 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2419 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2420 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2421 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2422 created so that the process can be more easily
2423 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2426 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2427 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2428 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2430 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2431 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2434 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2435 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2437 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2438 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2439 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2441 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2442 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2443 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2445 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2446 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2448 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2449 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2452 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2453 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2457 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2458 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2460 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2461 ... this is not my day today ...
2463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2464 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2465 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2466 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2467 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2470 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2471 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2472 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2473 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2474 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2477 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2479 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2480 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2481 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2482 this is not ever something you want to do
2483 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2484 - added tests for this (stevan)
2487 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2489 - added test for this
2491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2492 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2493 - added tests for this (wreis)
2495 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2496 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2497 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2498 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2500 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2501 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2502 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2505 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2507 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2509 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2512 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2513 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2514 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2515 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2516 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2517 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2518 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2519 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2520 - added tests for this
2522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2523 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2524 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2525 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2527 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2529 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2530 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2531 - added tests for this (sartak)
2532 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2533 install_delegation method (Stevan)

2542 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2543 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2544 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2546 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2548 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2549 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2582 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2583 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2586 - move the ClassName type check code to
2587 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2589 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2590 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2592 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2593 (early morning release engineering)--
2595 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2596 which was causing the indexer to choke
2598 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2599 (late night release engineering)--
2601 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2602 changes in this release
2604 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2605 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2606 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2608 * Moose::Meta::Class
2609 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2610 since it is called so often by &meta
2612 * Moose::Meta::Class
2614 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2615 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2618 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2619 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2620 method for immutablization to check if the
2621 destructor object even needs to be created
2624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2625 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2626 - added more descriptive error message to help
2627 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2628 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2630 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2632 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2633 XS based functionality is now optional
2634 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2635 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2636 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2638 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2639 to take care of this, mostly we added
2640 support for the package_name and name
2641 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2642 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2643 support regexp matching of names
2644 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2645 - tests added for this
2646 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2647 is currently not supported in roles,
2648 but, ... patches welcome
2649 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2650 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2651 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2654 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2655 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2656 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2657 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2658 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2659 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2660 - added test for this
2662 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2663 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2664 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2667 * Moose::Meta::Class
2668 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2672 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2674 - added tests for this
2675 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2676 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2678 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2679 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2680 themselves parameterizable types
2682 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2683 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2684 called by the inlined immutable
2686 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2688 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2689 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2690 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2691 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2693 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2694 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2698 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2699 causing occasional cpantester failures

2701 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2703 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2705 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2706 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2709 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2710 ->body when looping through the
2711 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2713 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2714 eating the $@ values, and so not
2715 working correctly, it still kind of
2716 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2717 - added tests for this
2719 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2720 - added new recipe for immutable
2721 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2723 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2724 - added new recipe for builder and
2725 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2727 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2728 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2729 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2732 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2734 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2735 since Module::Install has done that.
2737 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2739 drink more coffee before
2740 doing release engineering
2742 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2743 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2744 modules. This fixes that.
2746 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2747 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2748 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2750 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2751 since we have tests which need the C3
2754 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2755 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2757 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2758 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2760 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2761 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2762 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2763 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2769 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2770 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2772 * Moose::Meta::Class
2773 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2774 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2776 - added test for this
2778 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2779 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2780 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2781 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2782 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2783 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2785 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2786 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden

2857 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2859 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2860 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2903 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2904 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3150 - added tests for this
3153 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3154 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3196 - fixed how required methods are handled
3197 when they encounter overriden or modified
3198 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3199 - added tests for this

3209 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3212 * Parameterized Types
3213 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3214 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3215 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3216 They can also be nested:
3217 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3218 And work with the type unions as well:
3219 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3221 * Better Framework Extendability
3222 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3223 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3224 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3225 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3228 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3229 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3230 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3231 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3459 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3460 to build the list of delegated methods
3461 correctly (and not override important
3462 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3464 - added tests and docs for this
3465 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3466 so that you can actually document your
3467 attributes and inspect them through the
3469 - added tests and docs for this
3471 * Moose::Meta::Class
3472 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3473 it will first look in for the class in the
3474 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3475 then default to just loading $name.
3476 - added tests and docs for this
3478 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3479 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3480 - added test for this
3483 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3484 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3485 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3486 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3488 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3489 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3492 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3494 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3495 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3496 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3499 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3500 !! for this developer release to work !!
3502 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3503 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3504 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3505 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3506 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3507 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3508 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3509 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3510 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3511 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3512 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3514 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3515 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3516 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3517 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3520 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3521 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3522 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3523 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3524 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3526 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3528 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3529 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3532 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3533 called unless they actually need to be.
3534 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3535 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3536 DEMOLISH method present.
3538 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3540 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3541 type constraint, which allows for a
3542 hand optimized version of the type
3543 constraint to be used when possible.
3544 - Any internally created type constraints
3545 now provide an optimized version as well.
3547 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3549 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3550 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3551 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3553 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3554 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3555 your class namespace of these exported
3558 * Moose::Meta::Class
3559 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3560 comes up during global destruction
3562 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3566 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3570 - changed how we do type checks so that
3571 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3574 - moved accessor generation methods to
3575 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3576 conform to the API changes from
3579 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3580 - changed how constraints are compiled
3581 so that we do less recursion and more
3582 iteration. This makes the type check
3584 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3587 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3588 - created this from methods formerly found in
3589 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3591 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3592 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3595 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3597 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3598 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3600 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3603 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3604 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3605 - added tests for this
3606 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3607 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3608 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3609 - removed tests for this
3611 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3613 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3614 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3615 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3618 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3619 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3620 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3622 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3623 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3624 comments for more info.
3627 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3628 asked questions and common problems
3630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3631 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3632 - added tests for this
3634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3635 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3636 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3637 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3639 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3640 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3643 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3644 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3645 is much appreciated :)
3646 - added tests for this
3648 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3649 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3650 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3653 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3654 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3656 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3658 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3659 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3663 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3664 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3665 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3667 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3669 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3672 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3673 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3674 keywords because we need to localize them.
3675 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3677 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3678 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3679 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3682 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3686 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3687 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3690 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3691 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3692 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3694 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3696 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3697 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3698 bottom of your class file.
3701 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3704 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3706 - improved error message when loading modules so
3707 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3708 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3709 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3712 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3713 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3714 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3716 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3717 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3719 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3720 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3721 turn them on for you.
3722 - added tests for this
3723 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3724 in Moose::Meta::Class
3727 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3728 automatically turned on for you.

3751 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3752 - This release works in combination with
3753 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3754 release because it uses the a new
3755 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3756 complete Role implementation. It has
3757 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3758 the the previous CPAN version. This
3759 release also lacks good updated docs,
3760 the official release will have updated docs.
3763 - refactored the keyword exports
3764 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3765 accepts more than one Role at a time
3766 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3767 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3770 - refactored the keyword exports
3771 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3772 accepts more than one Role at a time
3774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3775 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3776 string enumerations which can be used as
3778 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3781 - more careful checking of params to new()
3784 - much work done on the role composition
3785 - many new tests for conflict detection
3786 and composition edge cases
3787 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3788 looking at the tests
3790 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3791 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3792 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3794 * Moose::Meta::Class
3795 - some small changes to support the new
3797 - some small additions to support Roles
3799 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3800 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3802 - some small changes to support the new
3804 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3805 with the 'handles' option
3806 - added several tests for this
3807 - no docs for this yet
3809 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3811 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3812 thanks to chansen for this commit
3813 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3814 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3815 on a per-attribute basis
3816 - added tests for this
3817 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3818 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3819 experimental feature and probably not finished

3884 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3886 - added test for this
