1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
9 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
13 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
15 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
16 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
21 more values were required. (rjbs)
23 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
27 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
28 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
32 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
33 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
34 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
35 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
37 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
38 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
39 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
42 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
45 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
46 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
47 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
48 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
52 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
53 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
54 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
55 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
58 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
62 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
63 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
66 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
67 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
70 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
71 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
72 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
74 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
75 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
78 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
79 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
80 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
82 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
83 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
86 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
87 the associated stash. (doy)
91 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
92 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
93 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
94 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
96 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
100 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
101 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
102 the attribute's reference.
106 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
107 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
112 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
113 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
114 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
117 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
118 the Object constraint).
120 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
124 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
125 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
130 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
132 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
136 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
139 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
141 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
145 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
147 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
151 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
154 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
155 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
156 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
158 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
161 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
165 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
167 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
171 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
173 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
177 * Include changes from 2.0010.
179 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
183 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
184 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
188 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
189 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
190 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
195 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
197 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
201 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
202 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
204 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
208 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
210 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
214 * Various packaging issues.
216 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
220 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
221 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
226 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
227 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
228 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
232 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
233 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
234 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
236 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
240 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
241 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
243 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
247 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
248 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
250 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
253 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
254 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
258 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
259 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
261 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
265 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
266 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
270 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
272 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
276 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
278 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
282 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
283 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
285 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
289 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
291 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
295 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
297 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
298 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
300 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
304 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
305 skips every other role. (rjbs)
307 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
308 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
309 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
310 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
311 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
313 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
317 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
318 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
319 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
322 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
327 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
329 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
330 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
332 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
336 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
337 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
338 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
342 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
343 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
345 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
346 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
348 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
349 environments. (doy, mateu)
351 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
355 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
356 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
357 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
358 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
362 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
363 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
365 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
369 * Update conflicts list.
372 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
376 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
377 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
378 details. (Dave Rolsky)
380 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
381 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
382 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
383 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
384 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
388 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
389 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
390 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
391 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
392 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
395 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
399 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
400 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
402 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
405 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
409 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
410 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
411 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
412 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
414 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
415 immutable classes). (mo)
417 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
418 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
419 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
421 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
425 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
427 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
429 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
433 * Fix some indexing issues.
435 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
437 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
441 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
442 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
443 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
444 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
445 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
447 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
448 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
453 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
454 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
455 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
456 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
458 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
459 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
460 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
464 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
465 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
468 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
472 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
473 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
477 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
481 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
482 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
483 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
484 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
487 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
491 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
494 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
498 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
499 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
500 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
503 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
507 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
508 policy. (Chris Prather)
510 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
511 on this new support policy. (doy)
515 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
516 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
517 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
519 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
520 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
522 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
526 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
527 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
528 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
529 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
532 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
536 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
537 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
540 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
544 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
545 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
547 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
548 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
552 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
553 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
554 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
555 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
556 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
557 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
559 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
560 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
562 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
563 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
564 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
565 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
567 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
568 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
570 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
575 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
576 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
578 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
582 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
583 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
584 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
586 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
590 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
591 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
592 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
595 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
598 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
599 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
602 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
603 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
604 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
606 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
607 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
612 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
613 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
614 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
615 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
617 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
618 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
620 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
621 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
623 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
624 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
625 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
626 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
628 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
629 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
630 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
633 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
634 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
635 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
636 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
638 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
639 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
642 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
643 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
644 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
646 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
650 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
651 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
652 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
654 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
655 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
656 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
659 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
660 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
661 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
663 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
664 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
665 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
667 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
668 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
672 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
673 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
674 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
676 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
677 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
678 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
679 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
681 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
685 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
686 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
687 value is a reference.
689 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
690 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
692 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
696 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
697 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
698 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
700 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
704 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
705 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
709 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
710 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
711 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
713 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
714 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
715 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
717 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
721 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
723 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
727 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
729 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
730 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
735 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
736 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
738 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
739 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
740 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
741 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
742 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
744 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
745 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
746 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
747 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
749 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
753 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
754 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
759 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
761 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
763 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
768 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
770 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
774 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
775 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
776 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
778 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
779 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
780 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
781 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
783 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
784 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
785 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
786 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
787 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
790 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
795 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
796 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
797 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
798 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
799 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
802 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
806 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
809 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
810 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
814 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
815 function (not just method). (doy)
819 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
820 and aren't easily installable/testable.
822 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
826 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
827 to be overridden more easily (doy).
829 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
833 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
834 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
836 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
840 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
841 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
842 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
844 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
848 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
849 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
850 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
852 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
853 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
857 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
858 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
860 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
861 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
865 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
866 is applied to a class (t0m).
868 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
869 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
871 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
874 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
875 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
877 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
878 be much more robust. (doy)
880 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
882 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
885 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
889 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
890 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
892 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
896 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
897 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
899 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
902 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
903 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
904 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
906 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
907 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
908 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
911 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
913 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
917 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
918 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
922 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
924 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
929 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
933 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
934 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
938 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
940 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
944 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
945 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
949 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
950 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
954 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
955 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
957 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
961 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
962 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
963 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
966 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
970 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
971 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
972 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
973 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
975 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
979 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
980 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
981 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
985 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
988 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
992 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
993 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
994 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
998 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
999 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1001 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1002 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1003 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1004 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1006 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1010 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1014 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1015 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1017 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1018 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1019 - Moose::Util::does_role
1020 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1021 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1022 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1024 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1028 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1029 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1030 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1033 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1037 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1038 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1041 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1045 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1046 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1049 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1053 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1055 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1056 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1058 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1059 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1060 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1063 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1064 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1067 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1068 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1070 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1071 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1072 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1074 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1076 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1077 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1079 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1081 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1084 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1085 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1087 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1088 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1090 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1091 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1092 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1093 dependencies installed.
1095 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1096 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1099 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1101 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1105 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1108 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1109 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1111 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1112 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1113 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1115 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1116 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1119 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1120 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1121 others. (nothingmuch)
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1124 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1125 remove_accessors. (doy)
1127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1128 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1129 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1132 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1134 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1136 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1137 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1139 * Moose::Meta::Class
1140 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1141 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1144 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1146 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1148 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1149 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1152 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1153 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1154 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1155 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1156 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1158 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1161 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1162 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1163 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1164 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1167 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1168 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1169 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1170 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1171 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1173 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1174 which were not receiving the value of
1175 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1176 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1177 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1178 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1182 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1183 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1184 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1185 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1186 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1189 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1190 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1191 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1192 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1194 * Moose::Meta::Class
1195 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1196 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1197 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1200 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1201 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1202 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1205 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1206 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1209 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1210 class if you pass it options for
1211 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1212 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1213 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1214 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1215 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1216 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1217 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1218 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1219 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1221 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1222 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1223 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1224 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1225 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1228 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1229 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1230 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1231 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1234 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1235 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1236 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1237 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1238 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1241 * Moose::Error::Croak
1242 * Moose::Error::Confess
1243 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1244 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1247 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1250 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1251 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1252 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Class
1255 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1258 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1259 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1260 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1262 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1263 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1264 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1265 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1266 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1269 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1272 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1274 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1275 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1278 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1279 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1282 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1283 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1284 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1287 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1288 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1289 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1290 using it for new code!
1292 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1293 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1294 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1295 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1297 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1298 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1299 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1300 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1301 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1302 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1303 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1304 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1307 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1310 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1311 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1315 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1318 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1319 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1321 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1323 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1324 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1326 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1327 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1328 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1331 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1332 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1335 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1336 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1337 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1338 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1339 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1340 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1342 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1344 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1347 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1348 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1349 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1351 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1352 associated_methods. (hdp)
1353 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1354 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1355 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1356 misspelled) arguments
1358 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1359 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1360 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1361 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1365 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1367 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1371 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1372 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1375 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1376 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1378 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1379 * Moose::Meta::Class
1380 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1381 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1383 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1384 * Moose::Manual::Types
1385 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1386 string parsing rathole (mst)
1388 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1389 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1390 using plain objects instead
1392 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1393 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1394 that's what we need.
1396 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1397 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1398 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1399 three times today (perigrin)
1400 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1401 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1403 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1404 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1405 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1406 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1409 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1410 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1411 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1412 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1413 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1414 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1417 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1418 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1419 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1420 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1423 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1425 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1428 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1430 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1433 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1434 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1435 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1439 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1440 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1443 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1444 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1446 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1447 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1448 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1450 * Moose::Unsweetened
1451 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1453 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1454 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1457 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1461 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1462 methods during global destruction (doy)
1464 * Moose::Meta::Class
1465 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1466 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1467 consumption (Sartak)
1469 * Moose::Meta::Class
1470 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1471 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1474 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1475 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1478 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1479 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1481 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1483 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1487 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1488 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1489 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1492 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1493 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1494 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1497 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1499 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1500 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1501 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1504 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1505 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1506 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1507 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1509 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1510 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1511 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1514 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1517 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1518 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1519 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1523 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1524 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1526 * Moose::Meta::Class
1527 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1529 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1531 * Moose::Meta::Class
1532 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1533 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1536 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1537 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1540 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1541 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1544 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1547 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1550 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1553 * Moose::Meta::Class
1554 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1556 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1557 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1560 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1561 * More deprecations and renamings
1562 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1563 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1564 when an object is constructed)
1567 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1568 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1569 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1571 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1572 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1573 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1574 feature, and it works again.
1577 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1579 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1581 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1582 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1583 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1586 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1587 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1588 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1589 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1592 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1593 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1594 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1595 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1598 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1599 metaclass object. (hdp)
1601 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1602 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1603 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1604 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1605 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1606 point out this fact. (hdp)
1608 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1609 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1611 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1612 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1614 * Moose::Meta::Class
1615 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1616 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1617 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1618 called during instance construction were passed the
1619 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1620 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1622 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1623 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1626 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1627 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1628 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1631 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1632 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1633 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1634 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1635 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1637 - Moose::Meta::Class
1638 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1640 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1641 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1642 when an object is constructed)
1643 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1645 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1646 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1647 when an object is constructed)
1648 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1649 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1650 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1653 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1655 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1656 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1658 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1660 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1661 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1662 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1664 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1665 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1666 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1668 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1670 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1671 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1673 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1674 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1677 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1678 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1681 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1682 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1683 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1686 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1690 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1691 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1692 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1694 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1695 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1698 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1699 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1700 with recommended workarounds.
1702 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1703 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1705 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1706 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1707 (yes, spelled like that).
1709 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1710 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1712 * Moose::Meta::Class
1713 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1714 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1716 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1719 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1720 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1721 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1722 instead. Reported by doy.
1724 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1726 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1727 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1730 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1731 message) is now deprecated.
1732 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1733 often got it wrong. For example:
1735 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1737 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1741 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1742 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1743 bite you in weird cases.
1745 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1746 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1747 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1748 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1750 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1751 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1755 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1758 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1759 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1762 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1763 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1766 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1769 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1771 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1772 - added tests for this (stevan)
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1775 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1776 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1777 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1781 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1782 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1783 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1784 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1786 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1787 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1788 - added tests for this (rafl)
1790 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1791 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1792 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1793 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1797 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1798 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1801 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1802 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1803 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1807 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1808 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1810 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1811 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1812 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1813 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1814 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1817 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1818 error message did not specify the attribute name
1821 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1823 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1825 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1826 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1827 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1829 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1830 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1833 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1835 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1836 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1837 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1838 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1840 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1842 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1843 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1844 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1845 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1847 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1848 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1849 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1851 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1852 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1853 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1854 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1855 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1857 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1858 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1859 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1860 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1861 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1864 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1865 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1866 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1867 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1868 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1870 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1871 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1872 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1873 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1874 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1875 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1878 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1880 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1881 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1882 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1883 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1886 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1889 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1893 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1894 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1896 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1897 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1898 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1899 guts. (nothingmuch).
1901 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1903 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1906 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1907 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1908 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1910 * Moose::Meta::Class
1911 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1914 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1915 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1917 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1918 * Moose::Unsweetened
1919 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1922 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1923 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1924 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1925 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1926 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1927 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1929 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1930 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1931 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1932 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1933 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1934 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1935 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1936 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1937 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1938 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1940 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1942 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1943 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1945 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1946 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1947 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1948 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1950 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1951 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1952 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1953 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1954 same methods for a single role did not work
1955 right (worked just fine with multiple
1957 - added test for this (stevan)
1959 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1960 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1961 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1964 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1965 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1966 - added test for this (t0m)
1969 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1970 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1971 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1974 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1975 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1976 - added test for this (t0m)
1978 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1979 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1980 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1981 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1982 - added test for this (perigrin)
1985 - create method for constructing a role
1986 dynamically (Sartak)
1987 - added test for this (Sartak)
1988 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1989 - added test for this (Sartak)
1992 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1994 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1995 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1996 methods is useful (Sartak)
1998 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2000 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2003 * Moose::Meta::Class
2004 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2005 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2006 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2007 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2008 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2009 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2012 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2013 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2015 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2016 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2017 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2018 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2019 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2021 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2023 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2024 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2025 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2028 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2029 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2030 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2031 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2032 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2033 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2037 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2038 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2039 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2040 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2041 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2042 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2043 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2044 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2045 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2046 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2048 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2049 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2052 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2053 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2054 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2055 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2056 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2058 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2060 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2061 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2062 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2065 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2067 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2068 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2069 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2070 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2073 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2074 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2076 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2078 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2079 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2081 * Moose::Meta::Class
2082 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2083 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2084 a required attribute
2086 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2088 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2089 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2091 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2092 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2094 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2095 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2096 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2097 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2098 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2099 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2100 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2101 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2103 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2104 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2105 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2107 * Roles and role application
2108 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2109 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2110 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2111 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2112 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2114 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2115 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2118 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2119 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2120 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2121 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2122 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2125 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2126 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2127 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2128 changes in the Moose internals.
2130 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2132 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2136 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2137 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2138 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2140 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2141 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2142 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2143 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2146 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2147 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2148 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2149 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2150 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2151 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2152 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2153 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2154 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2155 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2156 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2157 constraint implementations.
2159 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2163 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2164 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2165 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2166 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2167 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2168 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2169 - added tests for this (rafl)
2171 * Moose::Meta::Class
2172 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2173 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2174 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2175 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2176 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2177 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2178 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2179 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2182 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2183 - added tests for this (thepler)
2185 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2186 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2187 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2188 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2191 * Moose::Meta::Class
2192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2193 * Moose::Meta::Method
2196 * Moose::Error::Default
2197 * Moose::Error::Croak
2198 * Moose::Error::Confess
2199 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2200 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2201 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2202 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2203 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2204 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2206 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2208 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2209 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2211 * Moose::Unsweetened
2212 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2213 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2214 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2217 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2218 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2219 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2220 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2223 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2224 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2226 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2227 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2228 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2229 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2232 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2234 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2235 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2237 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2240 - Various bug fixes.
2242 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed

2247 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2248 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2249 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2250 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2251 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2252 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2255 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2256 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

2263 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2264 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2265 dependency to 0.64_07.
2267 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2268 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2269 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2271 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2272 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2275 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2276 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2277 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2278 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2279 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2280 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2282 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2283 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2285 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2287 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2288 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2292 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2293 method when that method was provided by another role being
2294 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2295 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2297 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2304 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2305 - added test for this (t0m)
2307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2308 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2309 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2311 - added test for this (t0m)
2314 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2315 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2316 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2319 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2320 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2322 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2324 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2325 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2327 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2328 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2329 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2331 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2332 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2335 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2336 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2337 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2338 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2342 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2343 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2344 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2348 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2349 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2350 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2353 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2357 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2363 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2364 created so that the process can be more easily

2399 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2400 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2402 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2403 ... this is not my day today ...
2405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2406 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2407 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2408 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2409 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2412 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2413 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2414 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2415 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2416 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2419 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2421 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2422 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2423 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2424 this is not ever something you want to do
2425 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2426 - added tests for this (stevan)
2429 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2431 - added test for this

2440 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2442 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2443 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2444 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2447 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2449 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2451 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2454 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2455 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2456 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2457 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2458 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2459 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2460 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2461 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2462 - added tests for this
2464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2465 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2466 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2467 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2469 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2538 which was causing the indexer to choke
2540 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2541 (late night release engineering)--
2543 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2544 changes in this release

2556 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2557 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2560 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2561 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2562 method for immutablization to check if the
2563 destructor object even needs to be created
2566 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2567 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2568 - added more descriptive error message to help
2569 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2570 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2572 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2574 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2575 XS based functionality is now optional
2576 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2577 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2578 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2580 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2581 to take care of this, mostly we added
2582 support for the package_name and name
2583 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2584 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2585 support regexp matching of names
2586 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2587 - tests added for this
2588 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2589 is currently not supported in roles,
2590 but, ... patches welcome
2591 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2592 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2593 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2596 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2597 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2598 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2599 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2600 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2601 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2602 - added test for this
2604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2605 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2606 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2609 * Moose::Meta::Class
2610 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2614 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2616 - added tests for this
2617 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2618 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2621 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2622 themselves parameterizable types

2626 called by the inlined immutable
2628 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2630 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2631 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2632 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2633 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2635 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2636 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2648 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2651 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2652 ->body when looping through the
2653 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2655 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2656 eating the $@ values, and so not
2657 working correctly, it still kind of
2658 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2659 - added tests for this
2661 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2662 - added new recipe for immutable
2663 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2681 drink more coffee before
2682 doing release engineering
2684 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2718 - added test for this
2720 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2796 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2797 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2799 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2801 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2802 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2803 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2804 officially support it.
2805 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2806 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2809 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2810 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2841 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2843 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2844 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2845 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2846 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2847 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2849 - added more delegation tests
2850 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2851 support traits and their introspection.
2852 - added tests for this

3092 - added tests for this
3095 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3096 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3135 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3138 - fixed how required methods are handled
3139 when they encounter overriden or modified
3140 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3141 - added tests for this
3143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3145 the | always creates a union and so is
3146 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3147 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3149 - added more tests for this
3151 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3154 * Parameterized Types
3155 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3156 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3157 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3158 They can also be nested:
3159 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3160 And work with the type unions as well:
3161 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3163 * Better Framework Extendability
3164 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3165 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3166 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3167 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3170 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3171 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3172 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3173 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3408 so that you can actually document your
3409 attributes and inspect them through the

3417 then default to just loading $name.
3418 - added tests and docs for this
3420 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3421 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3422 - added test for this

3427 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3428 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3430 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3431 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3434 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3436 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3437 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3438 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3441 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3442 !! for this developer release to work !!
3444 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3445 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3446 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3447 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3448 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3449 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3450 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3451 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3452 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3453 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3454 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3456 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3457 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3458 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3459 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3462 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3464 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3465 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3466 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3468 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3470 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3471 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3474 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3475 called unless they actually need to be.
3476 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3477 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3478 DEMOLISH method present.
3480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3481 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3482 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3483 type constraint, which allows for a
3484 hand optimized version of the type
3485 constraint to be used when possible.
3486 - Any internally created type constraints
3487 now provide an optimized version as well.
3489 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3491 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3492 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3493 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3495 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3496 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3497 your class namespace of these exported
3500 * Moose::Meta::Class
3501 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3502 comes up during global destruction
3504 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3508 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3512 - changed how we do type checks so that
3513 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3516 - moved accessor generation methods to
3517 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3518 conform to the API changes from
3521 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3522 - changed how constraints are compiled
3523 so that we do less recursion and more
3524 iteration. This makes the type check
3526 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3530 - created this from methods formerly found in
3531 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3533 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3534 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3536 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3537 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3540 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3542 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3544 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3545 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3546 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3547 - added tests for this
3548 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3549 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3550 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3551 - removed tests for this
3553 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3555 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3556 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3557 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3560 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3561 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3562 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3564 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3565 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3566 comments for more info.
3569 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3570 asked questions and common problems
3572 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3573 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3574 - added tests for this
3576 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3577 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3578 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3579 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3581 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3582 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3585 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3586 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3587 is much appreciated :)
3588 - added tests for this
3590 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3591 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3592 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3596 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3598 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3600 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3601 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3605 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3606 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3607 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3609 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3611 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3614 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3615 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3616 keywords because we need to localize them.
3617 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3619 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3620 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3621 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3624 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3628 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3629 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3632 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3633 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3634 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3636 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3638 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3639 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3640 bottom of your class file.
3643 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3646 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3648 - improved error message when loading modules so
3649 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3650 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3651 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3654 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3655 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3656 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3658 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3659 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3661 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3662 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3663 turn them on for you.
3664 - added tests for this
3665 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3666 in Moose::Meta::Class
3669 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3670 automatically turned on for you.

3674 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3675 - added tests for this

3692 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3693 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3694 - This release works in combination with
3695 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3696 release because it uses the a new
3697 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3698 complete Role implementation. It has
3699 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3700 the the previous CPAN version. This
3701 release also lacks good updated docs,
3702 the official release will have updated docs.
3705 - refactored the keyword exports
3706 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3707 accepts more than one Role at a time
3708 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3709 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3712 - refactored the keyword exports
3713 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3714 accepts more than one Role at a time
3716 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3717 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3718 string enumerations which can be used as
3720 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3723 - more careful checking of params to new()
3726 - much work done on the role composition
3727 - many new tests for conflict detection
3728 and composition edge cases
3729 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3730 looking at the tests
3732 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3733 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3734 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3736 * Moose::Meta::Class
3737 - some small changes to support the new
3739 - some small additions to support Roles
3741 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3742 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3744 - some small changes to support the new
3746 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3747 with the 'handles' option
3748 - added several tests for this
3749 - no docs for this yet
3751 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3753 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3754 thanks to chansen for this commit
3755 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3756 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3757 on a per-attribute basis
3758 - added tests for this
3759 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3760 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3761 experimental feature and probably not finished
3762 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3763 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3764 - added tests for this
3767 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3826 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3828 - added test for this
3831 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
