1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
9 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
10 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
13 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
15 2.0501 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
19 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
21 2.0500 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
25 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
26 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
30 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
31 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
32 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
33 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
34 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
39 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
40 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
41 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
42 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
44 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
45 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
46 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
48 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
49 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
50 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
51 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
53 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
54 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
55 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
56 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
58 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
59 package which was deleted. (doy)
61 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
65 * Minor documentation fixes.
67 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
70 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
74 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
75 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
77 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
81 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
83 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
87 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
89 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
92 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
96 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
98 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
99 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
103 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
104 more values were required. (rjbs)
106 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
110 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
111 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
116 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
117 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
118 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
120 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
121 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
122 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
124 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
125 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
128 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
129 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
130 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
131 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
135 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
136 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
137 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
138 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
141 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
145 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
146 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
147 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
149 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
150 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
151 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
153 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
154 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
155 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
157 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
158 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
161 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
162 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
163 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
165 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
166 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
169 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
170 the associated stash. (doy)
174 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
175 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
176 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
177 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
179 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
183 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
184 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
185 the attribute's reference.
189 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
190 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
195 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
196 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
197 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
200 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
201 the Object constraint).
203 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
207 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
208 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
213 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
215 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
219 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
222 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
224 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
228 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
230 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
234 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
237 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
238 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
239 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
241 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
244 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
248 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
250 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
254 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
256 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
260 * Include changes from 2.0010.
262 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
266 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
267 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
271 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
272 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
273 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
278 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
280 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
284 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
285 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
287 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
291 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
293 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
297 * Various packaging issues.
299 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
303 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
304 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
309 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
310 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
311 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
315 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
316 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
317 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
319 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
323 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
324 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
326 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
330 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
331 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
333 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
336 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
337 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
341 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
342 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
344 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
348 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
349 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
353 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
355 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
359 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
361 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
365 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
366 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
368 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
372 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
374 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
378 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
380 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
381 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
383 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
387 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
388 skips every other role. (rjbs)
390 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
391 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
392 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
393 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
394 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
396 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
400 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
401 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
402 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
405 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
410 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
412 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
413 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
415 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
419 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
420 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
421 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
425 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
426 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
428 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
429 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
431 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
432 environments. (doy, mateu)
434 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
438 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
439 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
440 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
441 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
445 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
446 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
448 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
452 * Update conflicts list.
455 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
459 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
460 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
461 details. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
464 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
465 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
466 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
467 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
471 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
472 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
473 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
474 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
475 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
478 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
482 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
483 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
485 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
488 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
492 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
493 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
494 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
495 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
497 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
498 immutable classes). (mo)
500 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
501 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
502 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
504 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
508 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
510 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
512 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
516 * Fix some indexing issues.
518 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
520 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
524 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
525 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
526 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
527 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
528 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
530 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
531 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
536 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
537 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
538 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
539 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
541 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
542 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
543 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
547 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
548 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
551 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
555 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
556 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
560 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
564 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
565 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
566 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
567 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
570 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
574 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
577 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
581 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
582 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
583 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
586 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
590 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
591 policy. (Chris Prather)
593 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
594 on this new support policy. (doy)
598 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
599 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
600 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
602 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
603 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
605 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
609 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
610 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
611 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
612 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
615 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
619 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
620 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
623 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
627 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
628 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
630 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
631 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
635 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
636 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
637 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
638 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
639 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
640 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
642 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
643 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
645 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
646 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
647 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
648 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
650 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
651 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
653 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
658 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
659 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
661 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
665 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
666 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
667 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
669 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
673 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
674 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
675 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
677 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
678 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
681 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
682 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
685 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
686 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
687 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
689 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
690 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
695 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
696 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
697 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
698 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
700 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
701 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
703 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
704 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
706 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
707 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
708 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
709 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
711 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
712 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
713 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
716 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
717 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
718 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
719 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
721 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
722 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
725 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
726 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
727 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
729 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
733 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
734 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
735 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
737 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
738 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
739 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
742 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
743 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
744 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
746 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
747 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
748 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
750 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
751 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
755 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
756 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
757 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
759 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
760 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
761 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
762 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
764 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
768 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
769 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
770 value is a reference.
772 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
773 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
775 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
779 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
780 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
781 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
783 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
787 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
788 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
792 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
793 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
794 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
796 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
797 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
798 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
800 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
804 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
806 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
810 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
812 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
813 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
818 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
819 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
821 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
822 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
823 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
824 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
825 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
827 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
828 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
829 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
830 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
832 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
836 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
837 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
842 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
844 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
846 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
851 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
853 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
857 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
858 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
859 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
861 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
862 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
863 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
864 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
866 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
867 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
868 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
869 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
870 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
873 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
878 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
879 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
880 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
881 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
882 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
885 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
889 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
892 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
893 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
897 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
898 function (not just method). (doy)
902 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
903 and aren't easily installable/testable.
905 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
909 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
910 to be overridden more easily (doy).
912 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
916 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
917 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
919 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
923 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
924 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
925 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
927 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
931 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
932 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
933 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
935 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
936 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
940 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
941 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
943 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
944 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
948 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
949 is applied to a class (t0m).
951 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
952 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
954 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
957 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
958 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
960 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
961 be much more robust. (doy)
963 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
965 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
968 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
972 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
973 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
975 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
979 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
980 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
982 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
985 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
986 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
987 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
989 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
990 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
991 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
994 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
996 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1000 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1001 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1005 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1007 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1012 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1016 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1017 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1021 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1023 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1027 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1028 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1032 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1033 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1037 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1038 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1040 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1044 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1045 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1046 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1049 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1053 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1054 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1055 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1056 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1058 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1062 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1063 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1064 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1068 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1069 (Michael G. Schwern)
1071 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1075 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1076 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1077 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1081 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1082 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1084 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1085 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1086 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1087 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1089 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1093 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1097 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1098 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1100 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1101 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1102 - Moose::Util::does_role
1103 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1104 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1105 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1107 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1111 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1112 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1113 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1116 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1120 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1121 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1124 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1128 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1129 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1132 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1136 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1138 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1139 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1141 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1142 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1143 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1145 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1146 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1147 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1150 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1151 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1153 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1154 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1155 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1157 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1159 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1160 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1162 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1164 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1167 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1168 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1170 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1171 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1173 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1174 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1175 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1176 dependencies installed.
1178 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1179 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1182 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1184 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1188 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1190 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1191 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1192 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1194 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1195 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1196 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1198 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1199 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1202 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1203 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1204 others. (nothingmuch)
1206 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1207 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1208 remove_accessors. (doy)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1211 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1212 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1214 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1215 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1217 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1218 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1219 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1220 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1223 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1224 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1227 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1229 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1231 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1232 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1236 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1237 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1238 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1239 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1241 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1244 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1245 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1246 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1247 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1250 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1251 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1252 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1253 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1254 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1256 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1257 which were not receiving the value of
1258 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1259 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1260 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1261 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1265 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1266 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1267 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1268 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1269 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1272 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1273 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1274 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1275 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Class
1278 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1279 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1280 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1283 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1285 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1288 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1289 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1292 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1293 class if you pass it options for
1294 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1295 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1296 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1297 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1298 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1299 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1300 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1301 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1302 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1305 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1306 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1307 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1308 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1311 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1312 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1313 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1314 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1317 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1318 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1319 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1320 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1321 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1324 * Moose::Error::Croak
1325 * Moose::Error::Confess
1326 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1327 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1330 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1333 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1334 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1335 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1337 * Moose::Meta::Class
1338 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1341 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1342 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1343 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1345 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1346 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1347 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1348 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1349 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1351 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1352 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1355 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1357 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1358 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1361 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1362 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1366 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1367 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1369 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1370 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1371 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1372 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1373 using it for new code!
1375 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1376 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1377 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1378 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1380 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1381 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1382 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1383 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1384 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1385 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1386 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1387 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1390 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1393 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1394 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1398 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1400 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1401 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1402 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1404 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1406 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1407 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1409 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1410 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1411 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1414 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1415 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1418 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1420 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1421 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1422 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1423 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1425 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1427 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1430 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1431 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1432 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1434 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1435 associated_methods. (hdp)
1436 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1437 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1438 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1439 misspelled) arguments
1441 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1442 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1443 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1444 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1447 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1448 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1450 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1454 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1455 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1458 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1459 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1461 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1462 * Moose::Meta::Class
1463 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1464 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1466 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1467 * Moose::Manual::Types
1468 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1469 string parsing rathole (mst)
1471 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1472 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1473 using plain objects instead
1475 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1476 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1477 that's what we need.
1479 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1480 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1481 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1482 three times today (perigrin)
1483 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1484 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1486 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1487 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1488 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1489 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1492 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1493 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1494 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1495 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1496 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1497 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1500 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1501 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1502 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1503 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1506 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1508 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1511 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1513 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1516 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1517 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1518 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1522 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1523 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1526 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1527 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1529 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1530 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1531 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1533 * Moose::Unsweetened
1534 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1537 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1540 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1544 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1545 methods during global destruction (doy)
1547 * Moose::Meta::Class
1548 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1549 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1550 consumption (Sartak)
1552 * Moose::Meta::Class
1553 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1554 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1557 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1558 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1561 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1562 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1564 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1566 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1570 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1571 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1572 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1575 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1576 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1577 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1580 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1582 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1584 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1587 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1588 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1589 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1590 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1592 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1593 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1594 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1597 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1600 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1602 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1606 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1607 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1609 * Moose::Meta::Class
1610 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1612 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1614 * Moose::Meta::Class
1615 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1616 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1619 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1620 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1623 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1624 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1627 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1630 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1633 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1636 * Moose::Meta::Class
1637 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1639 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1640 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1643 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1644 * More deprecations and renamings
1645 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1646 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1647 when an object is constructed)
1650 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1651 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1652 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1655 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1656 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1657 feature, and it works again.
1660 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1662 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1664 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1665 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1666 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1669 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1670 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1671 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1672 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1674 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1675 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1676 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1677 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1678 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1681 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1682 metaclass object. (hdp)
1684 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1685 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1686 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1687 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1688 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1689 point out this fact. (hdp)
1691 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1692 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1694 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1695 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1697 * Moose::Meta::Class
1698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1699 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1700 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1701 called during instance construction were passed the
1702 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1703 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1705 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1706 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1709 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1710 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1711 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1714 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1715 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1716 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1717 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1718 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1720 - Moose::Meta::Class
1721 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1723 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1724 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1725 when an object is constructed)
1726 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1728 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1729 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1730 when an object is constructed)
1731 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1732 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1733 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1736 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1738 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1739 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1741 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1743 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1744 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1745 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1748 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1749 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1751 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1753 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1754 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1756 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1757 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1760 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1761 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1764 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1765 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1766 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1769 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1773 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1774 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1775 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1777 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1778 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1781 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1782 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1783 with recommended workarounds.
1785 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1786 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1789 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1790 (yes, spelled like that).
1792 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1793 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1795 * Moose::Meta::Class
1796 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1797 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1799 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1801 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1802 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1803 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1804 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1805 instead. Reported by doy.
1807 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1809 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1810 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1813 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1814 message) is now deprecated.
1815 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1816 often got it wrong. For example:
1818 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1820 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1824 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1825 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1826 bite you in weird cases.
1828 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1829 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1830 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1831 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1833 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1834 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1838 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1841 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1842 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1846 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1849 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1852 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1853 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1854 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1855 - added tests for this (stevan)
1857 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1858 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1859 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1860 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1864 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1865 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1866 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1867 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1869 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1870 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1871 - added tests for this (rafl)
1873 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1874 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1875 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1876 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1880 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1881 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1885 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1886 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1888 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1890 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1891 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1893 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1894 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1895 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1896 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1897 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1899 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1900 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1901 error message did not specify the attribute name
1904 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1906 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1908 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1909 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1910 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1913 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1916 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1918 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1919 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1920 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1921 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1923 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1925 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1926 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1927 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1928 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1931 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1932 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1934 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1935 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1936 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1937 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1938 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1941 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1942 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1943 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1944 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1946 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1947 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1948 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1949 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1950 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1951 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1953 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1954 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1955 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1956 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1957 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1958 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1961 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1963 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1964 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1965 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1966 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1969 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1972 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1976 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1977 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1979 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1980 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1981 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1982 guts. (nothingmuch).
1984 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1985 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1986 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1988 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1989 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1990 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1991 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1993 * Moose::Meta::Class
1994 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1997 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1998 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2000 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2001 * Moose::Unsweetened
2002 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2005 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2006 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2007 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2008 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2009 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2010 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2012 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2013 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2014 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2015 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2016 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2017 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2018 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2019 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2020 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2021 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2023 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2025 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2026 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2028 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2029 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2030 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2031 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2033 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2034 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2035 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2036 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2037 same methods for a single role did not work
2038 right (worked just fine with multiple
2040 - added test for this (stevan)
2042 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2043 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2044 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2047 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2048 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2049 - added test for this (t0m)
2052 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2053 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2054 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2056 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2057 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2058 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2059 - added test for this (t0m)
2061 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2062 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2063 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2064 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2065 - added test for this (perigrin)
2068 - create method for constructing a role
2069 dynamically (Sartak)
2070 - added test for this (Sartak)
2071 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2072 - added test for this (Sartak)
2075 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2077 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2078 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2079 methods is useful (Sartak)
2081 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2082 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2083 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2086 * Moose::Meta::Class
2087 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2088 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2089 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2090 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2091 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2092 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2095 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2096 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2098 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2099 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2100 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2101 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2102 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2104 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2106 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2107 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2108 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2111 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2112 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2113 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2114 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2115 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2116 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2119 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2120 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2121 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2122 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2123 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2124 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2125 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2126 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2127 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2128 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2129 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2131 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2132 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2136 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2137 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2138 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2139 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2141 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2143 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2144 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2145 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2147 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2148 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2151 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2152 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2153 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2156 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2157 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2159 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2161 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2162 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2164 * Moose::Meta::Class
2165 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2166 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2167 a required attribute
2169 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2170 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2171 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2172 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2175 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2178 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2179 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2180 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2181 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2182 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2183 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2184 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2186 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2187 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2188 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2190 * Roles and role application
2191 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2192 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2193 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2194 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2195 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2197 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2198 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2201 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2202 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2203 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2204 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2205 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2208 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2209 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2210 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2211 changes in the Moose internals.
2213 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2214 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2215 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2219 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2220 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2221 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2224 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2225 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2226 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2229 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2230 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2231 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2232 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2233 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2234 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2235 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2236 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2237 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2238 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2239 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2240 constraint implementations.
2242 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2246 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2247 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2248 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2249 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2250 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2251 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2252 - added tests for this (rafl)
2254 * Moose::Meta::Class
2255 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2256 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2257 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2258 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2259 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2260 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2261 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2262 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2265 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2266 - added tests for this (thepler)
2268 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2269 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2270 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2271 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2274 * Moose::Meta::Class
2275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2276 * Moose::Meta::Method
2279 * Moose::Error::Default
2280 * Moose::Error::Croak
2281 * Moose::Error::Confess
2282 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2283 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2284 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2285 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2286 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2287 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2289 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2291 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2292 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2294 * Moose::Unsweetened
2295 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2296 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2297 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2300 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2301 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2302 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2303 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2306 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2307 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2309 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2310 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2311 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2312 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2315 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2317 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2318 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2320 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2323 - Various bug fixes.
2325 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2326 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2328 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2330 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2331 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2332 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2333 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2334 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2335 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2337 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2338 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2339 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2341 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2342 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2343 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2346 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2347 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2348 dependency to 0.64_07.
2350 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2351 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2352 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2354 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2355 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2358 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2359 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2360 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2361 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2362 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2363 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2365 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2366 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2368 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2370 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2371 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2375 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2376 method when that method was provided by another role being
2377 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2378 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2380 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2382 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2383 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2386 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2387 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2388 - added test for this (t0m)
2390 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2391 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2392 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2394 - added test for this (t0m)
2397 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2398 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2399 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2402 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2403 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2405 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2407 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2408 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2410 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2411 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2412 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2414 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2415 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2418 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2419 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2420 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2421 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2425 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2426 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2427 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2430 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2431 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2432 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2433 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2436 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2440 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2441 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2442 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2444 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2446 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2447 created so that the process can be more easily
2448 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2450 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2451 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2452 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2453 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2456 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2459 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2460 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2462 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2463 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2464 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2466 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2467 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2468 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2470 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2471 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2473 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2474 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2477 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2478 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2482 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2483 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2485 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2486 ... this is not my day today ...
2488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2489 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2490 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2491 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2492 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2495 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2496 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2497 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2498 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2499 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2502 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2504 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2505 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2506 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2507 this is not ever something you want to do
2508 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2509 - added tests for this (stevan)
2512 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2514 - added test for this
2516 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2517 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2518 - added tests for this (wreis)
2520 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2521 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2522 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2523 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2525 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2526 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2527 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2530 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2532 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2534 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2537 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2538 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2539 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2540 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2541 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2542 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2543 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2544 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2545 - added tests for this
2547 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2548 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2549 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2550 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2552 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2554 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2555 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2556 - added tests for this (sartak)
2557 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2558 install_delegation method (Stevan)

2567 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2568 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2569 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2571 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2573 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2574 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2577 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2581 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2582 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2583 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2585 - added docs for this (TODO).
2586 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2587 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2588 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2589 - fix builder and default both being used
2594 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2596 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2597 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2598 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2602 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2606 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2607 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2608 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2611 - move the ClassName type check code to
2612 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2614 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2615 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2617 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2618 (early morning release engineering)--
2620 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2621 which was causing the indexer to choke
2623 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2624 (late night release engineering)--
2626 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2627 changes in this release
2629 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2630 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2631 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2633 * Moose::Meta::Class
2634 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2635 since it is called so often by &meta
2637 * Moose::Meta::Class
2639 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2640 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2644 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2645 method for immutablization to check if the
2646 destructor object even needs to be created
2649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2650 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2651 - added more descriptive error message to help
2652 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2653 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2655 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2657 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2658 XS based functionality is now optional
2659 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2660 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2661 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2663 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2664 to take care of this, mostly we added
2665 support for the package_name and name
2666 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2667 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2668 support regexp matching of names
2669 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2670 - tests added for this
2671 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2672 is currently not supported in roles,
2673 but, ... patches welcome
2674 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2675 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2676 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2679 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2680 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2681 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2682 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2683 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2684 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2685 - added test for this
2687 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2688 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2689 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2692 * Moose::Meta::Class
2693 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2697 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2699 - added tests for this
2700 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2701 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2703 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2704 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2705 themselves parameterizable types
2707 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2708 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2709 called by the inlined immutable
2711 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2713 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2714 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2715 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2716 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2718 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2719 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2723 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2724 causing occasional cpantester failures
2725 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2726 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2728 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2730 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2731 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2734 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2735 ->body when looping through the
2736 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2738 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2739 eating the $@ values, and so not
2740 working correctly, it still kind of
2741 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2742 - added tests for this
2744 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2745 - added new recipe for immutable
2746 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2748 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2749 - added new recipe for builder and
2750 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2752 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2753 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2754 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2757 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2759 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2760 since Module::Install has done that.
2762 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2764 drink more coffee before
2765 doing release engineering
2767 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2768 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2769 modules. This fixes that.
2771 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2772 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2773 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2775 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2776 since we have tests which need the C3
2779 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2780 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2782 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2783 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2785 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2786 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2787 use it in any new code and please fix your old code

3175 - added tests for this
3178 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3179 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3218 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3221 - fixed how required methods are handled
3222 when they encounter overriden or modified
3223 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3224 - added tests for this
3226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3227 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3228 the | always creates a union and so is
3229 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3230 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

3234 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3237 * Parameterized Types
3238 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3239 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3240 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3241 They can also be nested:
3242 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3243 And work with the type unions as well:
3244 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3246 * Better Framework Extendability
3247 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3248 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3249 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3250 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3253 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3254 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3255 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3256 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3460 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3462 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3463 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3464 so this release is just to fix that.
3467 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3468 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3469 (thanks to konobi for this)
3470 - added tests and docs
3472 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3473 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3476 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3477 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3478 - added tests for this
3479 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3480 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3481 functions to facilitate introspection.
3483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3484 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3485 to build the list of delegated methods
3486 correctly (and not override important
3487 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3489 - added tests and docs for this
3490 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3491 so that you can actually document your
3492 attributes and inspect them through the
3494 - added tests and docs for this
3496 * Moose::Meta::Class
3497 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3498 it will first look in for the class in the
3499 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3500 then default to just loading $name.
3501 - added tests and docs for this
3503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3504 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3505 - added test for this
3508 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3509 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3510 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3511 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3513 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3514 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3517 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3519 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3520 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3521 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3524 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3525 !! for this developer release to work !!
3527 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3528 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3529 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3530 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3531 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3532 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3533 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3534 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3535 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3536 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3537 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3539 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3540 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3541 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3542 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3545 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3546 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3547 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3548 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3549 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3551 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3553 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3554 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3557 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3558 called unless they actually need to be.
3559 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3560 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3561 DEMOLISH method present.
3563 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3564 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3565 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3566 type constraint, which allows for a
3567 hand optimized version of the type
3568 constraint to be used when possible.
3569 - Any internally created type constraints
3570 now provide an optimized version as well.
3572 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3574 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3575 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3576 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3579 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3580 your class namespace of these exported
3583 * Moose::Meta::Class
3584 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3585 comes up during global destruction
3587 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3591 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3594 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3595 - changed how we do type checks so that
3596 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3599 - moved accessor generation methods to
3600 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3601 conform to the API changes from
3604 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3605 - changed how constraints are compiled
3606 so that we do less recursion and more
3607 iteration. This makes the type check
3609 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3612 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3613 - created this from methods formerly found in
3614 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3616 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3617 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3620 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3623 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3625 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3628 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3629 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3630 - added tests for this
3631 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3632 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3633 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3634 - removed tests for this
3636 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3638 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3639 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3640 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3643 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3644 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3645 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3647 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3648 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3649 comments for more info.
3652 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3653 asked questions and common problems
3655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3656 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3657 - added tests for this
3659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3660 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3661 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3662 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3664 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3665 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3668 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3669 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3670 is much appreciated :)
3671 - added tests for this
3673 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3674 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3675 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3678 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3679 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3681 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3683 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3684 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3688 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3689 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3690 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3692 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3694 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3697 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3698 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3699 keywords because we need to localize them.
3700 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3702 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3703 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3704 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3707 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3710 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3711 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3712 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3715 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3716 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3717 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3719 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3721 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3722 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3723 bottom of your class file.
3726 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3729 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3731 - improved error message when loading modules so
3732 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3733 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3734 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3737 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3738 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3739 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3741 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3742 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3744 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3745 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3746 turn them on for you.
3747 - added tests for this
3748 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3749 in Moose::Meta::Class
3752 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3753 automatically turned on for you.

3776 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3777 - This release works in combination with
3778 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3779 release because it uses the a new
3780 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3781 complete Role implementation. It has
3782 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3783 the the previous CPAN version. This
3784 release also lacks good updated docs,
3785 the official release will have updated docs.
3788 - refactored the keyword exports
3789 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3790 accepts more than one Role at a time
3791 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3792 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3795 - refactored the keyword exports
3796 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3797 accepts more than one Role at a time
3799 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3800 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3801 string enumerations which can be used as
3803 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3806 - more careful checking of params to new()
3809 - much work done on the role composition
3810 - many new tests for conflict detection
3811 and composition edge cases
3812 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3813 looking at the tests
3815 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3816 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3817 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3819 * Moose::Meta::Class
3820 - some small changes to support the new
3822 - some small additions to support Roles
3824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3825 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3827 - some small changes to support the new
3829 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3830 with the 'handles' option
3831 - added several tests for this
3832 - no docs for this yet
3834 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3836 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3837 thanks to chansen for this commit
3838 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3839 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3840 on a per-attribute basis
3841 - added tests for this
3842 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3843 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3844 experimental feature and probably not finished

3846 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3847 - added tests for this

3909 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3911 - added test for this
3914 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
