1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
9 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
11 * Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
12 without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
16 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
17 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
18 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
20 * Fix memory leak in type unions. (Karen Etheridge) RT#83929.
22 2.0604 Wed, Sep 19, 2012
26 * Fix nonsensical error message for inlined accessors of required attributes.
29 * Stop trying to localize a lexical (blead now throws an error for this). RT
30 #79257, perl #114628. (sprout)
34 * Depend on a version of Carp new enough to have caller_info. RT #79367.
37 2.0603 Thu, Jun 28, 2012
41 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
43 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
47 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
48 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
49 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
50 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
51 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
53 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
57 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
58 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
59 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
61 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
65 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
67 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
71 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
72 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
73 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
76 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
78 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
82 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
84 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
88 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
89 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
93 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
94 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
95 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
96 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
97 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
102 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
103 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
104 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
105 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
107 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
108 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
109 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
111 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
112 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
113 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
114 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
116 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
117 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
118 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
119 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
121 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
122 package which was deleted. (doy)
124 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
128 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
130 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
134 * Minor documentation fixes.
136 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
137 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
139 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
143 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
144 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
146 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
150 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
152 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
156 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
158 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
161 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
165 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
167 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
168 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
172 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
173 more values were required. (rjbs)
175 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
179 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
180 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
184 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
185 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
186 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
187 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
189 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
190 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
191 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
193 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
194 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
197 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
198 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
199 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
200 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
204 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
205 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
206 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
207 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
210 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
214 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
215 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
216 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
218 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
219 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
220 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
222 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
223 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
224 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
226 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
227 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
230 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
231 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
232 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
234 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
235 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
238 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
239 the associated stash. (doy)
243 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
244 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
245 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
246 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
248 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
252 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
253 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
254 the attribute's reference.
258 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
259 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
264 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
265 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
266 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
269 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
270 the Object constraint).
272 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
276 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
277 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
282 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
284 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
288 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
291 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
293 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
297 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
299 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
303 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
306 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
307 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
308 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
310 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
313 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
317 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
319 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
323 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
325 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
329 * Include changes from 2.0010.
331 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
335 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
336 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
340 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
341 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
342 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
347 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
349 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
353 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
354 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
356 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
360 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
362 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
366 * Various packaging issues.
368 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
372 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
373 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
378 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
379 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
380 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
384 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
385 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
386 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
388 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
392 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
393 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
395 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
399 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
400 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
402 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
405 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
406 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
410 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
411 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
413 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
417 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
418 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
422 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
424 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
428 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
430 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
434 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
435 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
437 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
441 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
443 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
447 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
449 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
450 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
452 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
456 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
457 skips every other role. (rjbs)
459 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
460 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
461 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
462 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
463 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
465 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
469 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
470 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
471 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
474 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
479 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
481 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
482 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
484 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
488 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
489 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
490 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
494 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
495 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
497 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
498 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
500 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
501 environments. (doy, mateu)
503 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
507 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
508 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
509 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
510 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
514 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
515 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
517 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
521 * Update conflicts list.
524 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
528 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
529 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
530 details. (Dave Rolsky)
532 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
533 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
534 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
535 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
536 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
540 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
541 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
542 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
543 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
544 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
547 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
551 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
552 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
554 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
557 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
561 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
562 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
563 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
564 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
566 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
567 immutable classes). (mo)
569 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
570 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
571 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
573 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
577 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
579 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
581 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
585 * Fix some indexing issues.
587 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
589 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
593 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
594 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
595 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
596 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
597 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
599 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
600 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
605 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
606 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
607 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
608 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
610 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
611 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
612 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
616 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
617 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
620 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
624 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
625 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
629 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
633 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
634 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
635 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
636 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
639 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
643 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
646 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
650 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
651 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
652 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
655 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
659 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
660 policy. (Chris Prather)
662 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
663 on this new support policy. (doy)
667 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
668 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
669 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
671 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
672 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
674 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
678 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
679 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
680 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
681 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
684 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
688 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
689 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
692 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
696 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
697 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
699 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
700 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
704 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
705 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
706 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
707 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
708 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
709 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
711 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
712 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
714 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
715 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
716 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
717 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
719 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
720 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
722 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
727 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
728 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
730 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
734 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
735 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
736 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
738 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
742 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
743 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
744 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
746 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
747 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
750 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
751 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
754 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
755 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
756 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
758 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
759 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
764 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
765 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
766 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
767 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
769 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
770 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
772 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
773 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
775 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
776 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
777 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
778 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
780 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
781 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
782 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
785 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
786 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
787 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
788 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
790 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
791 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
794 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
795 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
796 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
798 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
802 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
803 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
804 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
806 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
807 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
808 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
811 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
812 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
813 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
815 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
816 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
817 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
819 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
820 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
824 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
825 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
826 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
828 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
829 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
830 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
831 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
833 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
837 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
838 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
839 value is a reference.
841 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
842 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
844 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
848 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
849 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
850 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
852 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
856 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
857 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
861 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
862 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
863 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
865 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
866 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
867 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
869 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
873 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
875 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
879 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
881 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
882 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
887 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
888 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
890 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
891 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
892 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
893 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
894 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
896 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
897 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
898 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
899 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
901 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
905 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
906 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
911 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
913 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
915 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
920 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
922 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
926 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
927 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
928 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
930 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
931 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
932 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
933 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
935 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
936 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
937 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
938 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
939 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
942 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
947 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
948 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
949 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
950 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
951 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
954 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
958 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
961 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
962 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
966 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
967 function (not just method). (doy)
971 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
972 and aren't easily installable/testable.
974 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
978 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
979 to be overridden more easily (doy).
981 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
985 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
986 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
988 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
992 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
993 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
994 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
996 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
1000 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
1001 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
1002 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
1004 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
1005 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
1009 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
1010 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
1012 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
1013 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
1017 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
1018 is applied to a class (t0m).
1020 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
1021 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1023 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1026 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1027 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1029 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1030 be much more robust. (doy)
1032 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1034 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1037 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1041 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1042 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1044 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1048 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1049 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1051 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1054 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1055 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1056 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1058 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1059 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1060 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1063 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1065 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1069 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1070 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1074 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1076 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1080 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1081 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1085 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1086 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1090 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1092 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1096 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1097 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1101 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1102 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1106 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1107 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1109 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1113 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1114 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1115 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1118 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1122 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1123 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1124 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1125 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1127 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1131 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1132 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1133 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1137 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1138 (Michael G. Schwern)
1140 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1144 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1145 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1146 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1150 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1151 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1153 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1154 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1155 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1156 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1158 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1162 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1166 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1167 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1169 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1170 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1171 - Moose::Util::does_role
1172 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1173 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1174 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1176 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1180 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1181 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1182 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1185 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1189 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1190 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1193 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1197 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1198 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1201 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1205 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1207 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1208 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1210 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1211 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1212 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1214 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1215 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1216 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1219 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1220 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1223 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1224 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1226 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1228 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1229 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1231 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1233 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1236 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1237 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1239 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1240 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1242 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1243 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1244 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1245 dependencies installed.
1247 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1248 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1251 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1253 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1257 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1260 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1261 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1263 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1264 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1265 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1267 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1268 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1271 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1272 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1273 others. (nothingmuch)
1275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1276 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1277 remove_accessors. (doy)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1280 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1281 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1284 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1286 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1288 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1289 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class
1292 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1293 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1296 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1298 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1300 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1301 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1305 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1306 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1307 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1308 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1310 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1312 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1313 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1314 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1315 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1316 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1319 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1320 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1321 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1322 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1323 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1325 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1326 which were not receiving the value of
1327 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1328 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1329 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1330 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1334 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1335 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1336 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1337 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1338 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1341 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1342 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1343 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1344 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Class
1347 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1348 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1349 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1352 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1354 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1357 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1358 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1361 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1362 class if you pass it options for
1363 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1364 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1365 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1366 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1367 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1368 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1369 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1370 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1371 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1373 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1374 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1375 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1376 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1377 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1380 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1381 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1382 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1383 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1386 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1387 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1388 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1389 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1390 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1393 * Moose::Error::Croak
1394 * Moose::Error::Confess
1395 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1396 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1399 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1402 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1403 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1404 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1406 * Moose::Meta::Class
1407 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1410 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1411 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1412 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1414 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1415 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1416 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1417 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1418 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1420 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1421 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1424 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1426 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1427 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1430 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1431 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1435 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1436 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1438 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1439 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1440 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1441 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1442 using it for new code!
1444 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1445 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1446 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1447 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1449 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1450 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1451 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1452 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1453 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1454 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1455 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1456 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1459 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1462 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1463 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1466 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1467 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1470 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1471 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1473 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1475 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1476 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1478 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1479 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1480 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1482 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1483 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1484 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1487 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1489 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1490 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1491 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1492 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1494 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1496 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1500 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1501 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1503 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1504 associated_methods. (hdp)
1505 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1506 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1507 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1508 misspelled) arguments
1510 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1511 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1512 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1513 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1516 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1517 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1519 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1523 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1524 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1527 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1528 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1530 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1531 * Moose::Meta::Class
1532 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1533 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1535 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1536 * Moose::Manual::Types
1537 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1538 string parsing rathole (mst)
1540 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1541 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1542 using plain objects instead
1544 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1545 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1546 that's what we need.
1548 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1549 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1550 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1551 three times today (perigrin)
1552 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1553 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1556 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1557 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1558 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1561 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1562 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1563 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1564 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1565 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1566 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1569 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1570 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1571 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1572 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1575 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1577 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1580 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1582 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1585 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1586 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1587 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1591 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1592 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1595 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1596 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1598 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1600 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1602 * Moose::Unsweetened
1603 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1606 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1609 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1613 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1614 methods during global destruction (doy)
1616 * Moose::Meta::Class
1617 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1618 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1619 consumption (Sartak)
1621 * Moose::Meta::Class
1622 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1623 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1626 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1627 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1630 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1631 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1633 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1635 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1639 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1640 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1641 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1644 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1645 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1646 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1649 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1651 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1652 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1653 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1656 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1657 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1658 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1659 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1661 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1662 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1663 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1666 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1669 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1670 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1671 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1675 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1676 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1678 * Moose::Meta::Class
1679 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1681 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1683 * Moose::Meta::Class
1684 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1685 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1688 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1689 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1692 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1693 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1696 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1699 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1701 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1702 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1705 * Moose::Meta::Class
1706 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1708 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1709 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1712 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1713 * More deprecations and renamings
1714 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1715 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1716 when an object is constructed)
1719 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1720 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1721 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1723 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1724 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1725 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1726 feature, and it works again.
1729 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1731 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1733 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1734 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1735 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1737 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1738 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1739 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1740 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1741 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1743 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1744 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1745 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1746 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1747 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1750 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1751 metaclass object. (hdp)
1753 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1754 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1755 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1756 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1757 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1758 point out this fact. (hdp)
1760 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1761 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1763 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1764 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1766 * Moose::Meta::Class
1767 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1768 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1769 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1770 called during instance construction were passed the
1771 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1772 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1774 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1775 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1778 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1779 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1780 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1783 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1784 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1785 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1786 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1787 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1789 - Moose::Meta::Class
1790 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1792 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1793 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1794 when an object is constructed)
1795 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1797 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1798 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1799 when an object is constructed)
1800 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1801 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1802 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1805 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1807 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1808 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1810 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1812 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1813 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1814 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1816 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1817 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1818 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1820 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1822 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1823 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1825 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1826 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1829 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1830 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1833 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1834 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1835 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1837 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1838 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1842 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1843 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1844 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1846 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1847 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1850 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1851 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1852 with recommended workarounds.
1854 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1855 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1857 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1858 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1859 (yes, spelled like that).
1861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1862 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1864 * Moose::Meta::Class
1865 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1866 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1868 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1871 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1872 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1873 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1874 instead. Reported by doy.
1876 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1878 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1879 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1881 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1882 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1883 message) is now deprecated.
1884 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1885 often got it wrong. For example:
1887 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1889 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1893 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1894 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1895 bite you in weird cases.
1897 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1898 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1899 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1900 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1902 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1903 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1907 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1910 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1911 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1914 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1915 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1918 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1921 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1922 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1923 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1924 - added tests for this (stevan)
1926 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1927 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1928 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1929 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1933 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1934 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1935 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1936 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1938 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1939 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1940 - added tests for this (rafl)
1942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1943 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1944 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1945 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1949 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1950 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1953 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1954 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1955 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1957 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1959 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1960 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1962 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1963 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1964 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1965 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1966 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1969 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1970 error message did not specify the attribute name
1973 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1975 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1977 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1978 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1979 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1981 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1982 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1985 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1987 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1988 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1989 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1990 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1992 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1994 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1995 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1996 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1997 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2000 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
2001 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
2003 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2004 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
2005 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
2006 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
2007 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
2009 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2010 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
2011 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
2012 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
2013 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
2015 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2016 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
2017 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
2018 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
2019 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
2020 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
2022 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2023 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2024 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2025 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2026 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2027 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2029 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2030 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2032 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2033 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2034 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2035 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2037 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2038 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2041 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2045 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2046 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2048 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2049 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2050 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2051 guts. (nothingmuch).
2053 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2054 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2055 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2058 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2059 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2060 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2062 * Moose::Meta::Class
2063 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2066 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2067 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2069 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2070 * Moose::Unsweetened
2071 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2074 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2075 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2076 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2077 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2078 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2079 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2081 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2082 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2083 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2084 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2085 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2086 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2087 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2088 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2089 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2090 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2092 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2094 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2095 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2097 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2098 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2099 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2100 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2102 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2103 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2104 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2105 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2106 same methods for a single role did not work
2107 right (worked just fine with multiple
2109 - added test for this (stevan)
2111 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2112 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2113 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2116 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2117 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2118 - added test for this (t0m)
2121 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2122 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2123 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2126 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2127 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2128 - added test for this (t0m)
2130 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2131 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2132 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2133 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2134 - added test for this (perigrin)
2137 - create method for constructing a role
2138 dynamically (Sartak)
2139 - added test for this (Sartak)
2140 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2141 - added test for this (Sartak)
2144 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2146 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2147 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2148 methods is useful (Sartak)
2150 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2151 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2152 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2155 * Moose::Meta::Class
2156 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2157 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2158 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2159 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2160 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2161 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2164 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2165 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2167 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2168 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2169 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2170 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2171 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2173 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2175 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2176 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2177 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2180 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2181 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2182 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2183 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2184 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2185 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2189 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2190 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2191 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2192 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2193 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2194 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2195 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2196 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2197 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2198 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2201 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2205 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2206 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2207 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2208 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2210 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2212 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2213 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2214 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2217 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2220 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2221 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2222 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2225 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2226 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2228 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2230 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2231 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2233 * Moose::Meta::Class
2234 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2235 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2236 a required attribute
2238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2240 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2241 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2244 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2247 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2248 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2249 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2250 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2251 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2252 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2253 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2255 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2256 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2257 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2259 * Roles and role application
2260 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2261 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2262 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2263 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2264 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2266 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2267 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2270 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2271 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2272 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2273 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2274 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2277 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2278 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2279 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2280 changes in the Moose internals.
2282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2284 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2287 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2288 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2289 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2290 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2292 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2293 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2294 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2295 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2298 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2299 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2300 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2301 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2302 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2303 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2304 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2305 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2306 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2307 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2308 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2309 constraint implementations.
2311 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2315 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2316 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2317 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2318 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2319 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2320 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2321 - added tests for this (rafl)
2323 * Moose::Meta::Class
2324 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2325 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2326 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2327 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2328 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2329 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2330 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2331 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2334 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2335 - added tests for this (thepler)
2337 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2338 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2339 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2340 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2343 * Moose::Meta::Class
2344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2345 * Moose::Meta::Method
2348 * Moose::Error::Default
2349 * Moose::Error::Croak
2350 * Moose::Error::Confess
2351 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2352 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2353 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2354 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2355 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2356 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2358 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2360 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2361 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2363 * Moose::Unsweetened
2364 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2365 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2366 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2369 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2370 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2371 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2372 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2375 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2376 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2378 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2379 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2380 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2381 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2384 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2386 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2387 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2389 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2392 - Various bug fixes.
2394 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2395 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2397 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2399 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2400 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2401 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2402 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2403 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2404 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2406 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2407 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2408 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2410 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2411 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2412 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2415 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2416 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2417 dependency to 0.64_07.
2419 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2420 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2421 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2424 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2427 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2428 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2429 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2430 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2431 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2432 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2434 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2435 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2437 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2439 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2440 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2444 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2445 method when that method was provided by another role being
2446 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2447 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2449 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2451 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2452 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2454 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2455 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2456 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2457 - added test for this (t0m)
2459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2460 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2461 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2463 - added test for this (t0m)
2466 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2467 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2468 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2471 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2472 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2474 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2476 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2477 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2479 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2480 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2481 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2483 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2484 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2487 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2488 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2489 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2490 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2494 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2495 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2496 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2499 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2500 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2501 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2502 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2505 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2509 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2510 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2511 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2513 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2514 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2515 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2516 created so that the process can be more easily
2517 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2520 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2521 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2522 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2525 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2528 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2529 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2531 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2532 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2533 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2535 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2536 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2537 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2539 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2540 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2542 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2543 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2546 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2547 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2551 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2552 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2554 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2555 ... this is not my day today ...
2557 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2558 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2559 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2560 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2561 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2564 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2565 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2566 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2567 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2568 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2571 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2573 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2574 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2575 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2576 this is not ever something you want to do
2577 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2578 - added tests for this (stevan)
2581 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2583 - added test for this
2585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2586 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2587 - added tests for this (wreis)
2589 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2590 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2591 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2592 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2594 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2595 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2596 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2599 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2601 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2603 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2606 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2607 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2608 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2609 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2610 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2611 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2612 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2613 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2614 - added tests for this
2616 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2617 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2618 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2619 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2621 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2624 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2625 - added tests for this (sartak)
2626 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2627 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2630 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2632 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2633 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2637 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2638 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2640 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2642 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2643 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2646 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2647 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2648 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2650 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2651 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2652 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2654 - added docs for this (TODO).
2655 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2656 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2657 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2658 - fix builder and default both being used
2663 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2665 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2666 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2667 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2671 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2675 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2676 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2677 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2679 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2680 - move the ClassName type check code to
2681 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2683 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2684 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2686 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2687 (early morning release engineering)--
2689 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2690 which was causing the indexer to choke
2692 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2693 (late night release engineering)--
2695 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2696 changes in this release
2698 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2699 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2700 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2702 * Moose::Meta::Class
2703 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2704 since it is called so often by &meta
2706 * Moose::Meta::Class
2708 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2709 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2713 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2714 method for immutablization to check if the
2715 destructor object even needs to be created
2718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2719 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2720 - added more descriptive error message to help
2721 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2722 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2724 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2726 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2727 XS based functionality is now optional
2728 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2729 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2730 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2732 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2733 to take care of this, mostly we added
2734 support for the package_name and name
2735 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2736 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2737 support regexp matching of names
2738 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2739 - tests added for this
2740 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2741 is currently not supported in roles,
2742 but, ... patches welcome
2743 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2744 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2745 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2748 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2749 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2750 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2751 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2752 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2753 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2754 - added test for this
2756 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2757 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2758 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2761 * Moose::Meta::Class
2762 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2766 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2768 - added tests for this
2769 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2770 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2772 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2773 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2774 themselves parameterizable types
2776 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2777 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2778 called by the inlined immutable
2780 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2782 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2783 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2784 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2785 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2787 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2788 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2833 drink more coffee before
2834 doing release engineering
2836 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2951 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2953 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2997 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2998 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3291 when they encounter overriden or modified
3292 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3293 - added tests for this
3295 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3299 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3301 - added more tests for this
3303 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3306 * Parameterized Types
3307 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3308 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3309 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3310 They can also be nested:
3311 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3312 And work with the type unions as well:
3313 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3315 * Better Framework Extendability
3316 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3317 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3318 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3319 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3322 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3323 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3324 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3325 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3473 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
3474 * Moose::Meta::Class
3475 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
3476 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
3477 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3478 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
3479 the other side (perigrin)
3481 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3483 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3484 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3485 prototypes for functions
3486 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3487 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3488 - added tests and docs for this
3489 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3490 default for where be { 1 }
3491 - added test for this
3493 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3494 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3495 merlyn for finding this bug
3496 - tests added for this
3497 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3500 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3501 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3502 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3503 - added tests for this
3505 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3507 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3508 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
3509 - altered unimport tests to handle this
3512 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
3514 * Moose::Meta::Class
3515 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
3516 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
3519 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3520 where not handled correctly in roles
3521 - added tests for this
3523 * Moose::Meta::Class
3524 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3525 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3526 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3528 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3529 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3531 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3532 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3533 so this release is just to fix that.
3536 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3537 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3538 (thanks to konobi for this)
3539 - added tests and docs
3541 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3542 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3544 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3545 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3546 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3547 - added tests for this
3548 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3549 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3550 functions to facilitate introspection.
3552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3553 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3554 to build the list of delegated methods
3555 correctly (and not override important
3556 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3558 - added tests and docs for this
3559 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3560 so that you can actually document your
3561 attributes and inspect them through the
3563 - added tests and docs for this
3565 * Moose::Meta::Class
3566 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3567 it will first look in for the class in the
3568 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3569 then default to just loading $name.
3570 - added tests and docs for this
3572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3573 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3574 - added test for this
3577 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3578 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3579 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3580 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3582 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3583 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3586 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3588 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3589 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3590 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3593 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3594 !! for this developer release to work !!
3596 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3597 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3598 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3599 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3600 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3601 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3602 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3603 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3604 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3605 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3606 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3608 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3609 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3610 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3611 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3614 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3615 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3616 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3617 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3618 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3620 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3622 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3623 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3626 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3627 called unless they actually need to be.
3628 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3629 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3630 DEMOLISH method present.
3632 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3633 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3634 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3635 type constraint, which allows for a
3636 hand optimized version of the type
3637 constraint to be used when possible.
3638 - Any internally created type constraints
3639 now provide an optimized version as well.
3641 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3643 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3644 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3645 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3647 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3648 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3649 your class namespace of these exported
3652 * Moose::Meta::Class
3653 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3654 comes up during global destruction
3656 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3660 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3663 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3664 - changed how we do type checks so that
3665 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3668 - moved accessor generation methods to
3669 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3670 conform to the API changes from
3673 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3674 - changed how constraints are compiled
3675 so that we do less recursion and more
3676 iteration. This makes the type check
3678 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3681 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3682 - created this from methods formerly found in
3683 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3685 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3686 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3689 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3691 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3692 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3694 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3696 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3697 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3698 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3699 - added tests for this
3700 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3701 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3702 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3703 - removed tests for this
3705 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3707 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3708 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3709 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3712 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3713 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3714 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3716 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3717 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3718 comments for more info.
3721 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3722 asked questions and common problems
3724 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3725 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3726 - added tests for this
3728 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3729 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3730 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3731 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3733 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3734 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3737 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3738 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3739 is much appreciated :)
3740 - added tests for this
3742 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3743 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3744 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3747 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3748 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3750 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3752 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3753 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3757 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3758 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3759 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3761 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3763 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3766 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3767 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3768 keywords because we need to localize them.
3769 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3771 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3772 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3773 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3776 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3779 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3780 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3781 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3784 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3785 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3786 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3788 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3790 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3791 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3792 bottom of your class file.
3795 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3798 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3800 - improved error message when loading modules so
3801 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3802 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3803 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3806 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3807 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3808 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3810 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3811 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3813 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3814 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3815 turn them on for you.
3816 - added tests for this
3817 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3818 in Moose::Meta::Class

3845 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3846 - This release works in combination with
3847 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3848 release because it uses the a new
3849 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3850 complete Role implementation. It has
3851 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3852 the the previous CPAN version. This
3853 release also lacks good updated docs,
3854 the official release will have updated docs.
3857 - refactored the keyword exports
3858 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3859 accepts more than one Role at a time

3865 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3866 accepts more than one Role at a time
3868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3870 string enumerations which can be used as
3872 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3875 - more careful checking of params to new()
3878 - much work done on the role composition
3879 - many new tests for conflict detection
3880 and composition edge cases
3881 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3882 looking at the tests
3884 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3885 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3886 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3888 * Moose::Meta::Class

3896 - some small changes to support the new
3898 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3899 with the 'handles' option
3900 - added several tests for this
3901 - no docs for this yet

3905 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3906 thanks to chansen for this commit
3907 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3908 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3909 on a per-attribute basis
3910 - added tests for this
3911 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3912 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3913 experimental feature and probably not finished

3915 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3916 - added tests for this
