1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
9 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
10 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
12 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
13 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
14 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
15 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
16 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
18 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
22 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
23 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
24 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
26 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
30 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
32 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
36 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
37 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
38 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
41 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
43 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
47 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
49 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
53 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
54 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
58 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
59 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
60 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
61 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
62 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
67 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
68 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
69 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
70 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
72 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
73 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
74 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
76 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
77 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
78 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
79 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
81 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
82 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
83 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
84 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
86 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
87 package which was deleted. (doy)
89 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
93 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
95 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
99 * Minor documentation fixes.
101 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
102 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
104 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
108 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
109 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
111 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
115 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
117 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
121 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
123 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
126 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
130 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
132 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
133 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
137 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
138 more values were required. (rjbs)
140 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
144 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
145 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
149 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
150 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
151 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
152 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
154 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
155 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
156 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
158 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
159 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
162 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
163 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
164 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
165 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
169 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
170 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
171 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
172 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
175 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
179 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
180 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
181 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
183 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
184 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
185 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
187 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
188 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
189 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
191 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
192 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
195 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
196 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
197 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
199 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
200 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
203 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
204 the associated stash. (doy)
208 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
209 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
210 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
211 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
213 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
217 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
218 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
219 the attribute's reference.
223 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
224 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
229 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
230 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
231 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
234 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
235 the Object constraint).
237 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
241 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
242 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
247 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
249 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
253 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
256 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
258 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
262 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
264 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
268 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
271 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
272 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
273 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
275 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
278 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
282 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
284 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
288 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
290 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
294 * Include changes from 2.0010.
296 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
300 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
301 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
305 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
306 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
307 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
312 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
314 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
318 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
319 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
321 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
325 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
327 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
331 * Various packaging issues.
333 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
337 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
338 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
343 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
344 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
345 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
349 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
350 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
351 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
353 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
357 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
358 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
360 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
364 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
365 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
367 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
370 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
371 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
375 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
376 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
378 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
382 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
383 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
387 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
389 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
393 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
395 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
399 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
400 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
402 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
406 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
408 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
412 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
414 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
415 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
417 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
421 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
422 skips every other role. (rjbs)
424 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
425 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
426 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
427 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
428 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
430 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
434 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
435 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
436 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
439 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
444 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
446 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
447 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
449 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
453 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
454 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
455 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
459 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
460 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
462 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
463 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
465 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
466 environments. (doy, mateu)
468 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
472 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
473 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
474 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
475 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
479 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
480 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
482 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
486 * Update conflicts list.
489 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
493 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
494 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
495 details. (Dave Rolsky)
497 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
498 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
499 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
500 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
501 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
506 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
507 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
508 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
509 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
512 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
516 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
517 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
519 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
522 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
526 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
527 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
528 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
529 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
531 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
532 immutable classes). (mo)
534 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
535 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
536 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
538 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
542 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
544 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
546 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
550 * Fix some indexing issues.
552 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
554 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
558 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
559 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
560 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
561 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
562 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
564 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
565 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
570 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
571 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
572 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
573 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
575 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
576 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
577 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
581 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
582 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
585 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
589 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
590 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
594 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
598 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
599 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
600 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
601 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
604 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
608 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
611 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
615 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
616 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
617 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
620 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
624 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
625 policy. (Chris Prather)
627 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
628 on this new support policy. (doy)
632 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
633 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
634 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
636 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
637 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
639 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
643 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
644 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
645 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
646 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
649 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
653 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
654 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
657 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
661 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
662 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
664 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
665 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
669 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
670 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
671 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
672 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
673 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
674 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
676 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
677 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
679 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
680 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
681 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
682 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
684 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
685 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
687 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
692 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
693 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
695 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
699 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
700 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
701 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
703 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
707 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
708 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
709 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
711 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
712 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
715 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
716 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
719 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
720 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
721 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
723 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
724 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
729 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
730 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
731 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
732 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
734 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
735 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
737 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
738 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
740 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
741 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
742 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
743 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
745 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
746 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
747 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
750 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
751 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
752 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
753 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
755 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
756 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
759 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
760 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
761 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
763 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
767 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
768 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
769 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
771 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
772 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
773 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
776 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
777 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
778 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
780 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
781 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
782 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
784 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
785 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
789 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
790 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
791 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
793 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
794 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
795 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
796 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
798 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
802 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
803 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
804 value is a reference.
806 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
807 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
809 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
813 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
814 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
815 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
817 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
821 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
822 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
826 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
827 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
828 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
830 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
831 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
832 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
834 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
838 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
840 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
844 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
846 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
847 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
852 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
853 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
855 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
856 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
857 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
858 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
859 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
861 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
862 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
863 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
864 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
866 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
870 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
871 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
876 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
878 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
880 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
885 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
887 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
891 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
892 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
893 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
895 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
896 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
897 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
898 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
900 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
901 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
902 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
903 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
904 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
907 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
912 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
913 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
914 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
915 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
916 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
919 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
923 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
926 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
927 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
931 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
932 function (not just method). (doy)
936 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
937 and aren't easily installable/testable.
939 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
943 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
944 to be overridden more easily (doy).
946 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
950 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
951 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
953 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
957 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
958 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
959 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
961 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
965 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
966 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
967 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
969 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
970 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
974 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
975 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
977 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
978 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
982 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
983 is applied to a class (t0m).
985 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
986 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
988 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
991 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
992 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
994 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
995 be much more robust. (doy)
997 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
999 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1002 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1006 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1007 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1009 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1013 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1014 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1016 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1019 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1020 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1021 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1023 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1024 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1025 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1028 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1030 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1034 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1035 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1039 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1041 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1046 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1050 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1051 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1055 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1057 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1061 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1062 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1066 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1067 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1071 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1072 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1074 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1078 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1079 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1080 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1083 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1087 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1088 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1089 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1090 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1092 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1096 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1097 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1098 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1102 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1103 (Michael G. Schwern)
1105 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1110 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1111 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1115 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1116 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1118 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1119 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1120 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1121 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1123 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1127 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1131 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1132 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1134 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1135 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1136 - Moose::Util::does_role
1137 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1138 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1139 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1141 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1145 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1146 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1147 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1154 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1155 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1158 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1162 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1163 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1170 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1172 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1173 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1175 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1176 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1177 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1179 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1180 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1181 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1184 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1185 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1187 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1188 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1189 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1191 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1193 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1194 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1196 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1198 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1201 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1202 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1204 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1205 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1207 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1208 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1209 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1210 dependencies installed.
1212 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1213 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1216 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1218 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1222 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1225 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1226 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1229 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1230 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1232 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1233 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1236 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1237 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1238 others. (nothingmuch)
1240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1241 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1242 remove_accessors. (doy)
1244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1245 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1246 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1249 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1251 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1252 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1253 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1254 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1256 * Moose::Meta::Class
1257 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1258 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1261 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1263 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1265 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1266 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1269 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1270 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1271 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1272 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1273 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1275 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1278 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1279 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1280 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1281 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1284 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1285 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1286 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1287 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1288 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1290 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1291 which were not receiving the value of
1292 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1293 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1294 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1295 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1299 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1300 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1301 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1302 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1303 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1307 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1308 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1309 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1311 * Moose::Meta::Class
1312 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1313 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1314 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1317 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1319 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1321 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1322 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1323 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1326 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1327 class if you pass it options for
1328 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1329 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1330 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1331 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1332 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1333 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1334 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1335 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1336 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1338 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1339 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1340 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1341 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1342 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1345 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1347 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1348 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1350 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1351 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1352 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1353 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1354 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1355 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1358 * Moose::Error::Croak
1359 * Moose::Error::Confess
1360 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1361 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1364 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1367 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1368 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1369 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1371 * Moose::Meta::Class
1372 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1375 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1376 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1377 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1379 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1380 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1381 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1382 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1383 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1385 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1386 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1389 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1391 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1392 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1395 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1396 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1400 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1401 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1404 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1405 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1406 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1407 using it for new code!
1409 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1410 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1411 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1412 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1414 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1415 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1416 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1417 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1418 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1419 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1420 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1421 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1424 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1427 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1428 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1432 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1435 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1436 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1438 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1440 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1441 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1443 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1444 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1445 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1447 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1448 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1449 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1452 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1454 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1455 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1456 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1457 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1459 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1461 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1464 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1465 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1466 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1468 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1469 associated_methods. (hdp)
1470 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1471 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1472 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1473 misspelled) arguments
1475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1476 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1477 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1478 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1481 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1482 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1484 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1487 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1488 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1489 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1492 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1493 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1495 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1496 * Moose::Meta::Class
1497 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1498 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1500 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1501 * Moose::Manual::Types
1502 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1503 string parsing rathole (mst)
1505 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1506 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1507 using plain objects instead
1509 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1510 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1511 that's what we need.
1513 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1514 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1515 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1516 three times today (perigrin)
1517 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1518 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1521 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1522 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1523 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1526 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1527 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1528 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1529 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1530 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1531 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1534 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1535 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1536 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1537 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1540 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1542 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1545 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1547 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1550 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1551 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1552 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1556 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1557 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1560 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1561 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1563 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1564 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1565 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1567 * Moose::Unsweetened
1568 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1570 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1571 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1574 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1578 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1579 methods during global destruction (doy)
1581 * Moose::Meta::Class
1582 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1583 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1584 consumption (Sartak)
1586 * Moose::Meta::Class
1587 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1588 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1591 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1592 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1595 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1596 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1598 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1600 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1604 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1605 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1606 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1609 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1610 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1611 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1614 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1616 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1618 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1621 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1622 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1623 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1624 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1626 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1627 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1628 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1631 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1634 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1635 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1636 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1640 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1641 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1643 * Moose::Meta::Class
1644 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1646 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1648 * Moose::Meta::Class
1649 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1650 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1653 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1654 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1657 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1658 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1661 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1664 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1666 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1667 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1670 * Moose::Meta::Class
1671 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1673 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1674 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1677 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1678 * More deprecations and renamings
1679 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1680 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1681 when an object is constructed)
1684 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1685 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1686 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1689 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1690 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1691 feature, and it works again.
1694 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1696 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1698 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1699 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1700 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1702 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1703 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1704 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1705 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1706 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1709 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1710 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1711 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1712 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1715 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1716 metaclass object. (hdp)
1718 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1719 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1720 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1722 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1723 point out this fact. (hdp)
1725 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1726 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1729 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1731 * Moose::Meta::Class
1732 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1733 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1734 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1735 called during instance construction were passed the
1736 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1737 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1739 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1740 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1743 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1744 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1745 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1748 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1749 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1750 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1751 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1752 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1754 - Moose::Meta::Class
1755 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1757 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1758 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1759 when an object is constructed)
1760 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1762 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1763 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1764 when an object is constructed)
1765 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1766 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1767 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1770 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1772 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1773 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1775 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1777 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1778 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1779 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1782 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1783 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1785 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1787 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1788 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1790 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1791 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1794 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1795 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1798 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1799 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1800 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1802 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1803 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1807 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1808 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1809 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1811 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1812 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1815 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1816 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1817 with recommended workarounds.
1819 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1820 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1822 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1823 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1824 (yes, spelled like that).
1826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1827 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1829 * Moose::Meta::Class
1830 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1831 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1833 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1835 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1836 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1837 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1838 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1839 instead. Reported by doy.
1841 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1843 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1844 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1846 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1847 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1848 message) is now deprecated.
1849 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1850 often got it wrong. For example:
1852 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1854 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1858 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1859 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1860 bite you in weird cases.
1862 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1863 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1864 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1865 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1867 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1868 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1872 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1875 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1876 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1880 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1883 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1886 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1887 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1888 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1889 - added tests for this (stevan)
1891 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1892 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1893 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1894 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1898 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1899 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1900 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1901 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1903 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1904 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1905 - added tests for this (rafl)
1907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1908 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1909 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1910 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1914 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1915 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1918 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1919 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1920 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1922 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1924 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1925 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1927 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1928 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1929 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1930 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1931 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1933 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1934 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1935 error message did not specify the attribute name
1938 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1940 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1942 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1943 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1944 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1946 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1947 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1950 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1952 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1953 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1954 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1955 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1957 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1959 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1960 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1961 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1962 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1965 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1966 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1969 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1970 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1971 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1972 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1974 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1975 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1976 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1977 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1978 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1981 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1982 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1983 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1984 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1985 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1987 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1988 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1989 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1990 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1991 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1992 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1994 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1995 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1997 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1998 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1999 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2000 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2002 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2003 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2006 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2010 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2011 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2013 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2014 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2015 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2016 guts. (nothingmuch).
2018 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2019 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2020 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2022 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2023 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2024 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2025 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2027 * Moose::Meta::Class
2028 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2031 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2032 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2034 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2035 * Moose::Unsweetened
2036 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2039 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2040 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2041 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2042 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2043 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2044 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2046 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2047 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2048 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2049 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2050 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2051 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2052 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2054 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2055 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2057 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2059 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2060 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2062 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2063 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2064 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2065 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2067 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2068 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2069 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2070 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2071 same methods for a single role did not work
2072 right (worked just fine with multiple
2074 - added test for this (stevan)
2076 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2077 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2078 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2081 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2082 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2083 - added test for this (t0m)
2086 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2087 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2088 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2090 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2091 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2092 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2093 - added test for this (t0m)
2095 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2096 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2097 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2098 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2099 - added test for this (perigrin)
2102 - create method for constructing a role
2103 dynamically (Sartak)
2104 - added test for this (Sartak)
2105 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2106 - added test for this (Sartak)
2109 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2111 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2112 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2113 methods is useful (Sartak)
2115 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2117 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2120 * Moose::Meta::Class
2121 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2122 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2123 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2124 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2125 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2126 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2129 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2130 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2132 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2133 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2134 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2135 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2136 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2138 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2140 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2141 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2142 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2145 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2146 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2147 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2148 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2149 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2150 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2153 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2154 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2155 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2156 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2157 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2158 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2159 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2160 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2161 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2162 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2163 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2165 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2166 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2169 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2170 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2171 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2172 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2173 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2175 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2177 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2178 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2179 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2181 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2182 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2184 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2185 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2186 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2187 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2190 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2191 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2193 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2195 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2196 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2198 * Moose::Meta::Class
2199 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2200 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2201 a required attribute
2203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2205 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2206 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2209 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2211 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2212 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2213 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2214 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2215 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2216 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2217 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2218 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2220 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2221 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2222 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2224 * Roles and role application
2225 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2226 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2227 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2228 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2229 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2231 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2232 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2235 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2236 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2237 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2238 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2239 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2242 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2243 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2244 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2245 changes in the Moose internals.
2247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2249 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2253 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2254 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2255 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2258 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2259 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2260 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2263 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2264 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2265 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2266 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2267 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2268 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2269 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2270 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2271 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2272 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2273 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2274 constraint implementations.
2276 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2280 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2281 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2282 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2283 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2284 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2285 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2286 - added tests for this (rafl)
2288 * Moose::Meta::Class
2289 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2290 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2291 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2292 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2293 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2294 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2295 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2296 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2299 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2300 - added tests for this (thepler)
2302 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2303 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2304 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2305 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2308 * Moose::Meta::Class
2309 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2310 * Moose::Meta::Method
2313 * Moose::Error::Default
2314 * Moose::Error::Croak
2315 * Moose::Error::Confess
2316 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2317 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2318 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2319 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2320 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2321 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2323 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2325 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2326 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2328 * Moose::Unsweetened
2329 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2330 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2331 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2333 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2334 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2335 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2336 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2337 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2340 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2341 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2343 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2344 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2345 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2346 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2349 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2351 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2352 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2354 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2357 - Various bug fixes.
2359 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2360 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2362 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2364 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2365 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2366 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2367 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2368 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2369 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2371 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2372 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2373 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2375 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2376 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2377 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2380 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2381 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2382 dependency to 0.64_07.
2384 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2385 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2386 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2388 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2389 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2392 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2393 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2394 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2395 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2396 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2397 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2400 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2402 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2404 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2405 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2409 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2410 method when that method was provided by another role being
2411 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2412 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2414 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2416 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2417 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2420 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2421 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2422 - added test for this (t0m)
2424 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2425 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2426 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2428 - added test for this (t0m)
2431 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2432 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2433 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2436 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2437 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2439 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2441 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2442 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2444 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2445 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2446 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2448 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2449 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2452 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2453 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2454 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2455 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2459 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2460 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2461 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2464 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2465 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2466 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2467 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2470 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2474 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2475 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2476 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2478 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2480 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2481 created so that the process can be more easily
2482 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2484 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2485 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2486 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2487 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2490 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2493 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2494 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2496 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2497 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2498 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2500 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2501 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2502 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2504 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2505 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2507 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2508 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2511 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2512 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2516 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2517 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2519 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2520 ... this is not my day today ...
2522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2523 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2524 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2525 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2526 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2529 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2530 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2531 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2532 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2533 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2536 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2538 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2539 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2540 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2541 this is not ever something you want to do
2542 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2543 - added tests for this (stevan)
2546 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2548 - added test for this
2550 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2551 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2552 - added tests for this (wreis)
2554 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2555 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2556 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2557 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2559 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2560 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2561 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2564 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2566 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2568 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2571 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2572 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2573 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2574 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2575 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2576 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2577 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2578 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2579 - added tests for this
2581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2582 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2583 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2584 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2586 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2589 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2590 - added tests for this (sartak)
2591 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2592 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2595 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2597 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2598 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2600 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2602 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2603 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2605 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2607 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2608 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2616 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2617 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2619 - added docs for this (TODO).
2620 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2621 - added the custom attribute alias for regular

2628 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2630 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2631 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2632 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2636 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2640 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2641 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2642 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2645 - move the ClassName type check code to
2646 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2648 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2649 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2651 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2652 (early morning release engineering)--
2654 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2655 which was causing the indexer to choke
2657 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2658 (late night release engineering)--
2660 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2661 changes in this release
2663 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2664 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2665 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2667 * Moose::Meta::Class
2668 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2669 since it is called so often by &meta
2671 * Moose::Meta::Class
2673 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2674 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2677 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2678 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2679 method for immutablization to check if the
2680 destructor object even needs to be created
2683 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2684 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2685 - added more descriptive error message to help
2686 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2687 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2689 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2691 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2692 XS based functionality is now optional
2693 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2694 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2695 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2697 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2698 to take care of this, mostly we added
2699 support for the package_name and name
2700 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2701 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2702 support regexp matching of names
2703 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2704 - tests added for this
2705 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2706 is currently not supported in roles,
2707 but, ... patches welcome
2708 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2709 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2710 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2713 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2714 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2715 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2716 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2717 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2718 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2719 - added test for this
2721 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2722 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2723 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2726 * Moose::Meta::Class
2727 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2731 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2733 - added tests for this
2734 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2735 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2737 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2738 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2739 themselves parameterizable types
2741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2742 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2743 called by the inlined immutable
2745 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2747 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2748 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2749 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2750 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2752 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2753 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2757 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2758 causing occasional cpantester failures
2759 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2760 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2762 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2764 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2765 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2768 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2769 ->body when looping through the
2770 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2772 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2773 eating the $@ values, and so not
2774 working correctly, it still kind of
2775 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2776 - added tests for this
2778 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2779 - added new recipe for immutable
2780 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2782 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2783 - added new recipe for builder and

2916 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2918 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2962 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2963 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3268 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3271 * Parameterized Types
3272 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3273 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3274 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3275 They can also be nested:
3276 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3277 And work with the type unions as well:
3278 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3280 * Better Framework Extendability
3281 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3282 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3283 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3284 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3287 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3288 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3289 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3290 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3460 merlyn for finding this bug
3461 - tests added for this
3462 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3465 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3466 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3467 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3468 - added tests for this
3470 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3472 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3485 where not handled correctly in roles
3486 - added tests for this
3488 * Moose::Meta::Class
3489 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3490 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3491 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3493 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3494 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3496 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3497 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3498 so this release is just to fix that.
3501 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3502 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3503 (thanks to konobi for this)
3504 - added tests and docs
3506 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3511 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3512 - added tests for this
3513 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3514 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3515 functions to facilitate introspection.
3517 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3518 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3519 to build the list of delegated methods
3520 correctly (and not override important
3521 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3523 - added tests and docs for this
3524 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3525 so that you can actually document your
3526 attributes and inspect them through the
3528 - added tests and docs for this
3530 * Moose::Meta::Class
3531 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3532 it will first look in for the class in the
3533 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3534 then default to just loading $name.
3535 - added tests and docs for this
3537 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3538 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3539 - added test for this
3542 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3543 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3544 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3545 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3547 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3548 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3551 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3553 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3554 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3555 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3558 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3559 !! for this developer release to work !!
3561 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3562 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3563 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3564 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3565 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3566 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3567 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3568 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3569 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3570 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3571 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3573 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3574 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3575 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3576 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3579 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3580 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3581 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3582 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3583 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3585 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3587 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3588 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3591 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3592 called unless they actually need to be.
3593 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3594 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3595 DEMOLISH method present.
3597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3598 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3599 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3600 type constraint, which allows for a
3601 hand optimized version of the type
3602 constraint to be used when possible.
3603 - Any internally created type constraints
3604 now provide an optimized version as well.
3606 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3608 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3609 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3610 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3613 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3614 your class namespace of these exported
3617 * Moose::Meta::Class
3618 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3619 comes up during global destruction
3621 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3625 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3628 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3629 - changed how we do type checks so that
3630 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3633 - moved accessor generation methods to
3634 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3635 conform to the API changes from
3638 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3639 - changed how constraints are compiled
3640 so that we do less recursion and more
3641 iteration. This makes the type check
3643 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3646 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3647 - created this from methods formerly found in
3648 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3650 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3651 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3653 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3654 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3656 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3657 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3659 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3662 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3663 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3664 - added tests for this
3665 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3666 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3667 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3668 - removed tests for this
3670 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3672 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3673 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3674 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3677 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3678 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3679 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3681 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3682 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3683 comments for more info.
3686 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3687 asked questions and common problems
3689 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3690 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3691 - added tests for this
3693 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3694 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3695 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3696 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3698 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3699 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3702 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3703 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3704 is much appreciated :)
3705 - added tests for this
3707 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3708 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3709 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3712 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3713 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3715 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3717 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3718 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3722 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3723 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3724 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3726 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3728 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3731 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3732 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3733 keywords because we need to localize them.
3734 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3736 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3737 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3738 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3741 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3744 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3745 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3746 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3749 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3750 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3751 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3753 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3755 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3756 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3757 bottom of your class file.
3760 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3763 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3765 - improved error message when loading modules so
3766 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3767 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3768 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3771 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3772 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3773 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3775 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3776 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3778 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3779 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3780 turn them on for you.
3781 - added tests for this
3782 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3783 in Moose::Meta::Class

3810 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3811 - This release works in combination with
3812 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3813 release because it uses the a new
3814 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3815 complete Role implementation. It has
3816 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3817 the the previous CPAN version. This
3818 release also lacks good updated docs,
3819 the official release will have updated docs.
3822 - refactored the keyword exports
3823 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3824 accepts more than one Role at a time

3830 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3831 accepts more than one Role at a time
3833 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3835 string enumerations which can be used as
3837 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3840 - more careful checking of params to new()
3843 - much work done on the role composition
3844 - many new tests for conflict detection
3845 and composition edge cases
3846 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3847 looking at the tests
3849 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3850 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3851 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3853 * Moose::Meta::Class

3856 - some small additions to support Roles
3858 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3859 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3861 - some small changes to support the new
3863 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3864 with the 'handles' option
3865 - added several tests for this
3866 - no docs for this yet

3870 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3871 thanks to chansen for this commit
3872 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3873 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3874 on a per-attribute basis
3875 - added tests for this
3876 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3877 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3878 experimental feature and probably not finished

3943 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3945 - added test for this
