1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
9 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
10 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
11 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
15 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
16 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
21 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
22 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
25 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
26 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
27 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
31 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
32 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
33 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
34 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
37 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
42 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
45 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
46 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
47 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
49 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
50 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
51 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. Fixes RT 60583. (doy)
53 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
54 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
57 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
58 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
59 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
61 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
62 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
67 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
68 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
69 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
70 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
72 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
76 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
77 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
78 the attribute's reference.
82 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
83 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
87 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
88 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
89 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
92 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
93 the Object constraint).
95 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
99 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
100 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
105 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
107 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
111 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
114 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
116 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
120 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
122 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
126 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
129 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
130 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
131 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
133 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
136 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
140 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
142 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
146 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
148 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
152 * Include changes from 2.0010.
154 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
158 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
159 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
163 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
164 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
165 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
170 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
172 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
176 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
177 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
179 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
183 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
185 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
189 * Various packaging issues.
191 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
195 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
196 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
201 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
202 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
203 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
207 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
208 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
209 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
211 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
215 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
216 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
218 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
222 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
223 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
225 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
228 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
229 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
233 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
234 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
236 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
240 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
241 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
245 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
247 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
251 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
253 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
257 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
258 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
260 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
264 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
266 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
270 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
272 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
273 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
275 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
279 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
280 skips every other role. (rjbs)
282 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
283 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
284 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
285 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
286 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
288 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
292 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
293 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
294 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
297 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
302 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
304 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
305 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
307 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
311 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
312 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
313 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
317 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
318 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
320 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
321 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
323 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
324 environments. (doy, mateu)
326 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
330 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
331 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
332 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
333 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
337 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
338 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
340 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
344 * Update conflicts list.
347 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
351 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
352 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
353 details. (Dave Rolsky)
355 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
356 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
357 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
358 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
359 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
363 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
364 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
365 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
366 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
367 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
370 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
374 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
375 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
377 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
380 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
384 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
385 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
386 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
387 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
389 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
390 immutable classes). (mo)
392 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
393 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
394 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
396 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
400 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
402 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
404 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
408 * Fix some indexing issues.
410 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
412 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
416 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
417 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
418 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
419 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
420 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
422 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
423 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
428 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
429 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
430 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
431 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
433 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
434 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
435 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
439 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
440 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
443 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
447 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
448 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
452 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
456 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
457 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
458 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
459 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
462 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
466 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
469 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
473 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
474 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
475 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
478 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
482 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
483 policy. (Chris Prather)
485 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
486 on this new support policy. (doy)
490 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
491 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
492 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
494 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
495 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
497 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
501 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
502 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
503 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
504 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
507 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
511 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
512 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
515 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
519 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
520 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
522 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
523 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
527 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
528 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
529 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
530 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
531 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
532 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
534 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
535 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
537 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
538 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
539 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
540 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
542 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
543 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
545 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
550 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
551 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
553 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
557 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
558 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
559 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
561 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
565 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
566 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
567 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
569 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
570 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
573 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
574 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
577 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
578 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
579 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
581 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
582 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
587 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
588 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
589 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
590 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
592 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
593 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
595 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
596 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
598 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
599 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
600 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
601 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
603 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
604 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
605 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
608 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
609 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
610 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
611 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
613 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
614 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
617 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
618 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
619 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
621 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
625 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
626 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
627 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
629 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
630 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
631 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
634 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
635 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
636 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
638 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
639 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
640 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
642 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
643 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
647 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
648 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
649 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
651 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
652 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
653 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
654 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
656 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
660 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
661 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
662 value is a reference.
664 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
665 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
667 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
671 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
672 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
673 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
675 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
679 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
680 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
684 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
685 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
686 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
688 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
689 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
690 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
692 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
696 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
698 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
702 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
704 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
705 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
710 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
711 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
713 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
714 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
715 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
716 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
717 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
719 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
720 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
721 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
722 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
724 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
728 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
729 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
734 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
736 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
738 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
743 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
745 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
749 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
750 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
751 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
753 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
754 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
755 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
756 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
758 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
759 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
760 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
761 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
762 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
765 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
770 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
771 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
772 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
773 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
774 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
777 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
781 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
784 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
785 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
789 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
790 function (not just method). (doy)
794 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
795 and aren't easily installable/testable.
797 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
801 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
802 to be overridden more easily (doy).
804 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
808 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
809 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
811 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
815 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
816 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
817 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
819 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
823 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
824 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
825 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
827 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
828 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
832 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
833 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
835 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
836 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
840 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
841 is applied to a class (t0m).
843 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
844 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
846 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
849 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
850 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
852 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
853 be much more robust. (doy)
855 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
857 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
860 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
864 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
865 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
867 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
871 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
872 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
874 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
877 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
878 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
879 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
881 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
882 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
883 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
886 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
888 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
892 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
893 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
897 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
899 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
904 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
908 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
909 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
913 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
915 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
919 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
920 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
924 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
925 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
929 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
930 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
932 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
936 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
937 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
938 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
941 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
945 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
946 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
947 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
948 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
950 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
954 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
955 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
956 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
960 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
963 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
967 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
968 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
969 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
973 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
974 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
976 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
977 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
978 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
979 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
981 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
985 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
989 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
990 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
992 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
993 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
994 - Moose::Util::does_role
995 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
996 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
997 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
999 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1003 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1004 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1005 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1008 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1012 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1013 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1016 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1020 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1021 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1024 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1028 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1030 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1031 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1033 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1034 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1035 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1038 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1039 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1042 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1043 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1045 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1046 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1047 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1049 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1051 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1052 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1054 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1056 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1059 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1060 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1062 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1063 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1065 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1066 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1067 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1068 dependencies installed.
1070 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1071 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1074 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1076 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1080 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1082 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1083 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1084 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1086 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1087 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1088 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1090 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1091 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1094 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1095 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1096 others. (nothingmuch)
1098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1099 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1100 remove_accessors. (doy)
1102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1103 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1104 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1107 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1109 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1111 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1112 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Class
1115 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1116 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1119 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1121 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1123 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1124 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1127 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1128 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1129 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1130 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1131 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1133 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1136 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1137 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1138 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1139 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1142 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1143 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1144 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1145 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1146 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1148 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1149 which were not receiving the value of
1150 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1151 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1152 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1153 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1157 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1158 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1159 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1160 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1161 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1165 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1166 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1167 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Class
1170 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1171 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1172 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1175 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1176 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1177 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1180 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1181 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1184 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1185 class if you pass it options for
1186 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1187 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1188 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1189 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1190 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1191 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1192 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1193 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1194 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1196 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1197 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1198 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1199 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1200 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1203 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1205 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1206 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1209 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1210 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1211 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1212 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1213 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1216 * Moose::Error::Croak
1217 * Moose::Error::Confess
1218 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1219 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1222 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1225 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1226 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1227 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1229 * Moose::Meta::Class
1230 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1233 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1234 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1235 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1238 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1239 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1240 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1241 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1244 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1247 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1249 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1250 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1253 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1254 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1258 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1259 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1262 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1263 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1264 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1265 using it for new code!
1267 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1268 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1269 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1270 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1272 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1273 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1274 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1275 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1276 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1277 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1278 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1279 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1282 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1285 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1286 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1290 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1292 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1293 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1294 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1296 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1297 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1298 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1299 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1301 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1302 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1303 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1306 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1307 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1310 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1312 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1313 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1314 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1315 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1317 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1319 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1322 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1323 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1324 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1326 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1327 associated_methods. (hdp)
1328 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1329 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1330 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1331 misspelled) arguments
1333 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1334 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1335 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1336 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1339 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1340 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1342 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1345 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1346 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1347 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1350 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1351 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1353 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1354 * Moose::Meta::Class
1355 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1356 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1358 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1359 * Moose::Manual::Types
1360 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1361 string parsing rathole (mst)
1363 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1364 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1365 using plain objects instead
1367 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1368 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1369 that's what we need.
1371 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1372 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1373 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1374 three times today (perigrin)
1375 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1376 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1378 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1379 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1380 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1381 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1384 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1385 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1386 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1387 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1388 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1389 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1392 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1393 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1394 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1395 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1398 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1400 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1403 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1405 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1408 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1409 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1410 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1414 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1415 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1418 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1419 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1421 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1422 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1423 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1425 * Moose::Unsweetened
1426 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1428 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1429 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1432 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1436 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1437 methods during global destruction (doy)
1439 * Moose::Meta::Class
1440 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1441 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1442 consumption (Sartak)
1444 * Moose::Meta::Class
1445 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1446 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1449 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1450 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1453 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1454 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1456 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1458 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1462 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1463 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1464 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1467 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1468 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1469 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1472 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1474 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1475 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1476 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1479 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1480 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1481 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1482 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1484 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1485 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1486 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1489 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1492 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1493 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1494 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1498 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1499 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1501 * Moose::Meta::Class
1502 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1504 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1506 * Moose::Meta::Class
1507 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1508 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1511 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1512 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1515 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1516 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1519 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1522 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1524 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1525 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1528 * Moose::Meta::Class
1529 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1531 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1532 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1535 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1536 * More deprecations and renamings
1537 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1538 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1539 when an object is constructed)
1542 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1543 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1544 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1546 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1547 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1548 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1549 feature, and it works again.
1552 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1554 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1556 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1557 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1558 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1560 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1561 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1562 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1563 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1564 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1566 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1567 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1568 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1569 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1570 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1573 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1574 metaclass object. (hdp)
1576 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1577 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1579 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1580 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1581 point out this fact. (hdp)
1583 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1584 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1586 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1587 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1589 * Moose::Meta::Class
1590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1591 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1592 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1593 called during instance construction were passed the
1594 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1595 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1597 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1598 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1601 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1602 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1603 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1606 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1607 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1608 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1609 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1610 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1612 - Moose::Meta::Class
1613 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1615 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1616 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1617 when an object is constructed)
1618 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1620 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1621 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1622 when an object is constructed)
1623 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1624 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1625 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1628 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1630 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1631 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1633 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1635 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1636 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1637 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1639 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1640 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1641 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1643 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1645 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1646 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1648 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1649 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1652 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1653 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1656 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1657 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1658 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1660 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1661 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1665 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1666 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1667 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1669 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1670 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1673 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1674 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1675 with recommended workarounds.
1677 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1678 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1681 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1682 (yes, spelled like that).
1684 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1685 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1687 * Moose::Meta::Class
1688 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1689 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1691 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1693 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1694 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1695 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1696 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1697 instead. Reported by doy.
1699 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1701 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1702 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1704 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1705 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1706 message) is now deprecated.
1707 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1708 often got it wrong. For example:
1710 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1712 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1716 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1717 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1718 bite you in weird cases.
1720 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1722 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1723 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1725 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1726 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1730 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1733 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1734 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1738 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1740 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1741 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1744 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1746 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1747 - added tests for this (stevan)
1749 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1750 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1751 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1752 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1756 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1757 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1758 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1759 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1761 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1762 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1763 - added tests for this (rafl)
1765 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1766 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1767 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1768 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1772 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1773 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1777 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1778 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1780 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1782 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1783 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1785 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1786 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1787 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1788 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1789 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1792 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1793 error message did not specify the attribute name
1796 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1798 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1800 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1801 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1802 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1805 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1808 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1810 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1811 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1812 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1813 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1815 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1817 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1818 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1819 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1820 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1823 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1824 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1826 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1827 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1828 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1829 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1830 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1832 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1833 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1834 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1835 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1836 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1838 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1839 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1840 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1841 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1842 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1843 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1845 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1846 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1847 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1848 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1849 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1850 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1852 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1853 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1855 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1856 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1857 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1858 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1861 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1864 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1868 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1869 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1871 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1872 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1873 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1874 guts. (nothingmuch).
1876 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1877 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1878 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1880 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1881 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1882 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1883 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1885 * Moose::Meta::Class
1886 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1889 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1890 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1892 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1893 * Moose::Unsweetened
1894 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1897 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1898 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1899 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1900 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1901 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1902 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1904 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1905 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1906 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1907 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1908 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1909 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1910 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1911 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1912 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1913 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1915 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1917 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1918 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1921 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1922 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1923 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1925 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1926 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1927 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1928 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1929 same methods for a single role did not work
1930 right (worked just fine with multiple
1932 - added test for this (stevan)
1934 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1935 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1936 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1939 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1940 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1941 - added test for this (t0m)
1944 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1945 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1946 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1949 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1950 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1951 - added test for this (t0m)
1953 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1954 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1955 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1956 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1957 - added test for this (perigrin)
1960 - create method for constructing a role
1961 dynamically (Sartak)
1962 - added test for this (Sartak)
1963 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1964 - added test for this (Sartak)
1967 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1969 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1970 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1971 methods is useful (Sartak)
1973 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1975 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1978 * Moose::Meta::Class
1979 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1980 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1981 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1982 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1983 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1984 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1987 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1988 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1990 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1991 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1992 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1993 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1994 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1996 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1998 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1999 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2000 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2003 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2004 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2005 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2006 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2007 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2008 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2012 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2013 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2014 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2015 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2016 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2017 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2018 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2019 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2020 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2021 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2024 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2027 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2028 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2029 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2030 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2031 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2033 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2035 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2036 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2037 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2039 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2040 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2042 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2043 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2044 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2045 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2048 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2049 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2051 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2053 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2054 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2056 * Moose::Meta::Class
2057 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2058 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2059 a required attribute
2061 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2062 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2063 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2064 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2066 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2067 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2070 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2071 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2072 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2073 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2074 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2075 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2076 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2078 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2079 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2080 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2082 * Roles and role application
2083 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2084 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2085 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2086 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2087 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2089 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2090 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2093 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2094 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2095 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2096 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2097 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2100 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2101 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2102 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2103 changes in the Moose internals.
2105 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2107 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2110 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2111 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2112 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2113 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2115 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2116 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2117 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2118 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2121 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2122 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2123 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2124 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2125 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2126 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2127 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2128 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2129 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2130 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2131 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2132 constraint implementations.
2134 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2138 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2139 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2140 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2141 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2142 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2143 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2144 - added tests for this (rafl)
2146 * Moose::Meta::Class
2147 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2148 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2149 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2150 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2151 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2152 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2153 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2154 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2157 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2158 - added tests for this (thepler)
2160 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2161 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2162 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2163 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2166 * Moose::Meta::Class
2167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2168 * Moose::Meta::Method
2171 * Moose::Error::Default
2172 * Moose::Error::Croak
2173 * Moose::Error::Confess
2174 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2175 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2176 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2177 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2178 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2179 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2181 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2183 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2184 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2186 * Moose::Unsweetened
2187 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2188 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2189 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2192 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2193 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2194 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2195 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2198 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2199 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2201 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2202 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2203 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2204 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2207 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2209 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2210 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2212 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2215 - Various bug fixes.

2222 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2223 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2224 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2225 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2226 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2227 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2243 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2244 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2247 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2251 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2252 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2253 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2254 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2255 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2258 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2260 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2262 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2263 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2267 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2268 method when that method was provided by another role being
2269 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2270 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2272 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2279 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2280 - added test for this (t0m)
2282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2283 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2284 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2286 - added test for this (t0m)
2289 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2290 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2291 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2294 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2295 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2297 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2299 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2300 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2302 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2303 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2304 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2306 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2307 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2310 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2313 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2317 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2318 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2319 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2323 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2324 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2325 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2328 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2332 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2338 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2339 created so that the process can be more easily

2374 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2375 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2377 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2378 ... this is not my day today ...
2380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2381 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2382 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2383 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2384 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2387 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2388 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2389 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2390 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2391 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2394 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2396 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2397 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2398 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2399 this is not ever something you want to do
2400 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2401 - added tests for this (stevan)
2404 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2406 - added test for this

2415 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2417 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2418 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2419 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2422 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2424 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2426 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2429 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2430 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2431 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2432 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2433 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2434 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2435 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2436 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2437 - added tests for this
2439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2440 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2441 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2442 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2444 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2513 which was causing the indexer to choke
2515 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2516 (late night release engineering)--
2518 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2519 changes in this release

2527 since it is called so often by &meta
2529 * Moose::Meta::Class
2531 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2532 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2536 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2537 method for immutablization to check if the
2538 destructor object even needs to be created
2541 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2542 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2543 - added more descriptive error message to help
2544 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2545 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2547 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2549 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2550 XS based functionality is now optional
2551 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2552 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2553 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2555 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2556 to take care of this, mostly we added
2557 support for the package_name and name
2558 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2559 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2560 support regexp matching of names
2561 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2562 - tests added for this
2563 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2564 is currently not supported in roles,
2565 but, ... patches welcome
2566 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2567 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2568 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2571 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2572 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2573 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2574 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2575 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2576 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2577 - added test for this
2579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2580 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2581 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2584 * Moose::Meta::Class
2585 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2589 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2591 - added tests for this
2592 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2593 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2596 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2597 themselves parameterizable types
2599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2601 called by the inlined immutable
2603 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2605 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2606 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2607 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2608 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2610 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2611 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2623 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2626 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2627 ->body when looping through the
2628 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2630 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2631 eating the $@ values, and so not
2632 working correctly, it still kind of
2633 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2634 - added tests for this
2636 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2637 - added new recipe for immutable
2638 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2640 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2656 drink more coffee before
2657 doing release engineering
2659 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2660 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2661 modules. This fixes that.

2664 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2665 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2693 - added test for this
2695 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2774 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2776 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2820 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2821 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3067 - added tests for this
3070 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3071 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3113 - fixed how required methods are handled
3114 when they encounter overriden or modified
3115 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3116 - added tests for this
3118 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3124 - added more tests for this
3126 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3129 * Parameterized Types
3130 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3131 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3132 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3133 They can also be nested:
3134 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3135 And work with the type unions as well:
3136 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3138 * Better Framework Extendability
3139 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3140 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3141 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3142 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3145 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3146 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3147 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3148 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3383 so that you can actually document your
3384 attributes and inspect them through the

3388 * Moose::Meta::Class
3389 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3390 it will first look in for the class in the
3391 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3392 then default to just loading $name.
3393 - added tests and docs for this
3395 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3396 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3397 - added test for this
3400 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3402 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3403 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3405 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3406 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3409 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3411 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3412 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3413 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3416 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3417 !! for this developer release to work !!
3419 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3420 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3421 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3422 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3423 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3424 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3425 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3426 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3427 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3428 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3429 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3431 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3432 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3433 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3434 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3437 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3438 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3439 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3440 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3441 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3443 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3445 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3446 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3449 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3450 called unless they actually need to be.
3451 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3452 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3453 DEMOLISH method present.
3455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3456 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3457 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3458 type constraint, which allows for a
3459 hand optimized version of the type
3460 constraint to be used when possible.
3461 - Any internally created type constraints
3462 now provide an optimized version as well.
3464 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3466 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3467 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3468 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3470 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3471 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3472 your class namespace of these exported
3475 * Moose::Meta::Class
3476 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3477 comes up during global destruction
3479 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3483 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3486 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3487 - changed how we do type checks so that
3488 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3491 - moved accessor generation methods to
3492 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3493 conform to the API changes from
3496 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3497 - changed how constraints are compiled
3498 so that we do less recursion and more
3499 iteration. This makes the type check
3501 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3504 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3505 - created this from methods formerly found in
3506 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3508 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3509 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3511 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3512 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3515 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3517 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3520 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3521 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3522 - added tests for this
3523 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3524 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3525 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3526 - removed tests for this
3528 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3530 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3531 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3532 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3535 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3536 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3537 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3539 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3540 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3541 comments for more info.
3544 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3545 asked questions and common problems
3547 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3548 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3549 - added tests for this
3551 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3552 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3553 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3554 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3556 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3557 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3560 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3561 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3562 is much appreciated :)
3563 - added tests for this
3565 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3566 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3567 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3570 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3571 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3573 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3575 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3576 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3580 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3581 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3582 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3584 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3586 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3589 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3590 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3591 keywords because we need to localize them.
3592 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3594 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3595 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3596 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3599 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3602 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3603 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3604 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3607 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3608 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3609 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3611 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3613 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3614 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3615 bottom of your class file.
3618 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3621 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3623 - improved error message when loading modules so
3624 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3625 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3626 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3629 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3630 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3631 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3633 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3634 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3636 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3637 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3638 turn them on for you.
3639 - added tests for this
3640 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3641 in Moose::Meta::Class
3644 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3645 automatically turned on for you.

3667 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3668 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3669 - This release works in combination with
3670 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3671 release because it uses the a new
3672 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3673 complete Role implementation. It has
3674 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3675 the the previous CPAN version. This
3676 release also lacks good updated docs,
3677 the official release will have updated docs.
3680 - refactored the keyword exports
3681 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3682 accepts more than one Role at a time
3683 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3684 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3687 - refactored the keyword exports
3688 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3689 accepts more than one Role at a time
3691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3692 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3693 string enumerations which can be used as
3695 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3698 - more careful checking of params to new()
3701 - much work done on the role composition
3702 - many new tests for conflict detection
3703 and composition edge cases
3704 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3705 looking at the tests
3707 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3708 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3709 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3711 * Moose::Meta::Class

3714 - some small additions to support Roles
3716 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3717 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3719 - some small changes to support the new
3721 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3722 with the 'handles' option
3723 - added several tests for this
3724 - no docs for this yet
3726 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3728 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3729 thanks to chansen for this commit
3730 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3731 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3732 on a per-attribute basis
3733 - added tests for this
3734 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3735 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3736 experimental feature and probably not finished
3737 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3738 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3739 - added tests for this

3801 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3803 - added test for this
3806 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3807 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
