1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
9 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
11 * Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
12 without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
16 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
17 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
18 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
20 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
22 * Fix memory leak in type unions. (Karen Etheridge) RT#83929.
24 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
28 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
29 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
30 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
31 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
32 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
34 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
38 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
39 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
40 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
42 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
46 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
48 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
52 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
53 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
54 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
57 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
59 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
63 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
65 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
69 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
70 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
74 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
75 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
76 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
77 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
78 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
83 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
84 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
85 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
86 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
88 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
89 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
90 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
92 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
93 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
94 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
95 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
97 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
98 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
99 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
100 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
102 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
103 package which was deleted. (doy)
105 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
109 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
111 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
115 * Minor documentation fixes.
117 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
118 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
120 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
124 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
125 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
127 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
131 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
133 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
137 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
139 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
142 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
146 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
148 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
149 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
153 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
154 more values were required. (rjbs)
156 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
160 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
161 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
165 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
166 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
167 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
168 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
171 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
172 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
174 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
175 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
178 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
179 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
180 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
181 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
185 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
186 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
187 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
188 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
191 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
196 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
197 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
199 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
200 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
201 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
203 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
204 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
205 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
207 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
208 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
211 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
212 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
213 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
215 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
216 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
219 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
220 the associated stash. (doy)
224 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
225 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
226 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
227 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
229 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
233 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
234 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
235 the attribute's reference.
239 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
240 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
245 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
246 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
247 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
250 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
251 the Object constraint).
253 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
257 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
258 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
263 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
265 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
269 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
272 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
274 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
278 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
280 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
284 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
287 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
288 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
289 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
291 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
294 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
298 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
300 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
304 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
306 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
310 * Include changes from 2.0010.
312 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
316 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
317 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
321 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
322 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
323 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
328 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
330 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
334 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
335 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
337 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
341 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
343 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
347 * Various packaging issues.
349 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
353 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
354 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
359 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
360 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
361 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
365 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
366 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
367 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
369 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
373 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
374 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
376 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
380 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
381 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
383 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
386 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
387 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
391 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
392 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
394 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
398 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
399 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
403 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
405 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
409 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
411 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
415 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
416 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
418 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
422 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
424 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
428 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
430 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
431 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
433 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
437 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
438 skips every other role. (rjbs)
440 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
441 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
442 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
443 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
444 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
446 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
450 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
451 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
452 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
455 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
460 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
462 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
463 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
465 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
469 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
470 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
471 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
475 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
476 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
478 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
479 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
481 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
482 environments. (doy, mateu)
484 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
488 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
489 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
490 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
491 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
495 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
496 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
498 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
502 * Update conflicts list.
505 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
509 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
510 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
511 details. (Dave Rolsky)
513 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
514 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
515 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
516 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
517 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
521 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
522 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
523 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
524 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
525 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
528 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
532 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
533 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
535 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
538 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
542 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
543 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
544 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
545 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
547 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
548 immutable classes). (mo)
550 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
551 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
552 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
554 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
558 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
560 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
562 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
566 * Fix some indexing issues.
568 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
570 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
574 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
575 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
576 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
577 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
578 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
580 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
581 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
586 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
587 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
588 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
589 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
591 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
592 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
593 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
597 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
598 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
601 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
605 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
606 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
610 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
614 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
615 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
616 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
617 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
620 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
624 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
627 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
631 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
632 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
633 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
636 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
640 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
641 policy. (Chris Prather)
643 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
644 on this new support policy. (doy)
648 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
649 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
650 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
652 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
653 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
655 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
659 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
660 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
661 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
662 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
665 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
669 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
670 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
673 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
677 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
678 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
680 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
681 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
685 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
686 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
687 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
688 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
689 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
690 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
692 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
693 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
695 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
696 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
697 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
698 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
700 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
701 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
703 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
708 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
709 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
711 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
715 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
716 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
717 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
719 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
723 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
724 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
725 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
727 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
728 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
731 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
732 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
735 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
736 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
737 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
739 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
740 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
745 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
746 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
747 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
748 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
750 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
751 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
753 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
754 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
756 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
757 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
758 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
759 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
761 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
762 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
763 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
766 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
767 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
768 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
769 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
771 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
772 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
775 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
776 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
777 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
779 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
783 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
784 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
785 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
787 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
788 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
789 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
792 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
793 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
794 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
796 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
797 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
798 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
800 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
801 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
805 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
806 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
807 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
809 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
810 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
811 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
812 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
814 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
818 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
819 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
820 value is a reference.
822 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
823 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
825 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
829 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
830 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
831 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
833 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
837 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
838 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
842 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
843 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
844 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
846 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
847 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
848 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
850 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
854 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
856 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
860 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
862 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
863 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
868 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
869 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
871 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
872 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
873 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
874 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
875 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
877 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
878 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
879 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
880 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
882 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
886 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
887 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
892 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
894 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
896 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
901 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
903 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
907 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
908 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
909 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
911 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
912 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
913 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
914 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
916 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
917 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
918 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
919 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
920 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
923 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
928 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
929 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
930 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
931 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
932 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
935 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
939 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
942 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
943 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
947 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
948 function (not just method). (doy)
952 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
953 and aren't easily installable/testable.
955 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
959 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
960 to be overridden more easily (doy).
962 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
966 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
967 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
969 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
973 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
974 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
975 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
977 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
981 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
982 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
983 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
985 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
986 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
990 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
991 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
993 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
994 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
998 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
999 is applied to a class (t0m).
1001 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
1002 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1004 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1007 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1008 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1010 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1011 be much more robust. (doy)
1013 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1015 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1018 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1022 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1023 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1025 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1029 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1030 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1032 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1035 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1036 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1037 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1039 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1040 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1041 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1044 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1046 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1050 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1051 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1055 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1057 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1062 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1066 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1067 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1071 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1073 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1077 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1078 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1082 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1083 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1087 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1088 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1090 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1094 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1095 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1096 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1099 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1103 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1104 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1105 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1106 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1108 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1112 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1113 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1114 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1118 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1119 (Michael G. Schwern)
1121 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1125 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1126 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1127 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1131 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1132 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1134 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1135 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1136 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1137 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1139 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1143 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1147 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1148 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1150 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1151 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1152 - Moose::Util::does_role
1153 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1154 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1155 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1157 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1161 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1162 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1163 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1170 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1171 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1174 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1178 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1179 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1182 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1186 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1188 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1189 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1191 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1192 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1193 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1196 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1197 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1200 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1201 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1203 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1204 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1205 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1207 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1209 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1210 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1212 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1214 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1217 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1218 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1220 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1221 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1223 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1224 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1225 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1226 dependencies installed.
1228 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1229 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1232 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1234 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1238 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1241 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1242 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1244 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1245 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1246 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1248 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1249 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1252 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1253 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1254 others. (nothingmuch)
1256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1257 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1258 remove_accessors. (doy)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1261 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1262 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1265 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1267 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1268 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1269 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1270 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1272 * Moose::Meta::Class
1273 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1274 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1277 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1279 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1281 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1282 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1285 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1286 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1287 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1288 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1289 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1291 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1292 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1293 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1294 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1295 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1296 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1297 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1300 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1301 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1302 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1303 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1304 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1306 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1307 which were not receiving the value of
1308 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1309 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1310 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1311 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1315 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1316 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1317 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1318 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1319 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1322 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1323 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1324 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1325 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1327 * Moose::Meta::Class
1328 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1329 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1330 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1333 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1335 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1338 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1339 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1342 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1343 class if you pass it options for
1344 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1345 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1346 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1347 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1348 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1349 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1350 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1351 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1352 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1354 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1355 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1356 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1357 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1358 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1361 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1363 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1364 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1367 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1368 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1369 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1370 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1371 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1374 * Moose::Error::Croak
1375 * Moose::Error::Confess
1376 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1377 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1380 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1383 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1384 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1385 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1387 * Moose::Meta::Class
1388 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1391 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1392 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1393 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1395 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1396 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1397 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1398 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1399 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1401 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1402 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1405 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1407 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1408 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1411 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1412 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1416 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1417 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1420 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1421 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1422 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1423 using it for new code!
1425 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1426 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1427 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1428 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1430 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1431 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1432 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1433 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1434 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1435 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1436 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1437 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1440 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1443 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1444 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1448 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1451 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1452 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1454 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1456 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1457 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1459 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1460 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1461 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1464 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1465 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1468 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1469 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1470 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1471 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1472 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1473 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1475 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1477 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1480 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1481 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1482 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1484 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1485 associated_methods. (hdp)
1486 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1487 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1488 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1489 misspelled) arguments
1491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1492 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1493 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1494 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1497 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1498 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1500 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1503 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1504 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1505 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1508 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1509 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1511 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1512 * Moose::Meta::Class
1513 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1514 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1516 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1517 * Moose::Manual::Types
1518 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1519 string parsing rathole (mst)
1521 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1522 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1523 using plain objects instead
1525 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1526 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1527 that's what we need.
1529 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1530 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1531 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1532 three times today (perigrin)
1533 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1534 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1536 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1537 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1538 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1539 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1542 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1543 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1544 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1545 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1546 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1547 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1550 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1551 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1552 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1553 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1556 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1558 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1561 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1563 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1566 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1567 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1568 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1572 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1573 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1576 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1577 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1579 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1580 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1581 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1583 * Moose::Unsweetened
1584 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1586 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1587 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1590 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1594 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1595 methods during global destruction (doy)
1597 * Moose::Meta::Class
1598 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1599 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1600 consumption (Sartak)
1602 * Moose::Meta::Class
1603 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1604 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1607 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1608 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1611 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1612 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1614 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1616 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1620 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1621 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1622 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1625 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1626 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1627 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1630 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1632 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1633 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1634 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1637 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1638 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1639 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1640 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1642 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1643 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1644 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1647 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1650 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1651 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1652 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1656 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1657 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1659 * Moose::Meta::Class
1660 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1662 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1664 * Moose::Meta::Class
1665 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1666 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1669 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1670 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1673 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1674 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1677 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1680 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1682 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1683 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1686 * Moose::Meta::Class
1687 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1689 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1690 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1693 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1694 * More deprecations and renamings
1695 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1696 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1697 when an object is constructed)
1700 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1701 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1702 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1705 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1706 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1707 feature, and it works again.
1710 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1712 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1714 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1715 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1716 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1719 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1720 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1721 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1722 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1724 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1725 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1726 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1727 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1728 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1731 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1732 metaclass object. (hdp)
1734 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1738 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1739 point out this fact. (hdp)
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1742 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1744 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1745 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1747 * Moose::Meta::Class
1748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1749 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1750 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1751 called during instance construction were passed the
1752 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1753 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1755 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1756 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1759 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1760 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1761 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1764 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1765 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1766 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1767 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1768 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1770 - Moose::Meta::Class
1771 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1773 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1774 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1775 when an object is constructed)
1776 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1778 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1779 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1780 when an object is constructed)
1781 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1782 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1783 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1786 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1788 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1789 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1791 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1793 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1794 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1795 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1798 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1799 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1801 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1803 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1804 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1806 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1807 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1810 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1811 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1814 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1815 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1816 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1819 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1823 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1824 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1825 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1827 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1828 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1831 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1832 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1833 with recommended workarounds.
1835 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1836 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1838 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1839 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1840 (yes, spelled like that).
1842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1843 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1845 * Moose::Meta::Class
1846 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1847 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1849 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1851 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1852 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1853 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1854 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1855 instead. Reported by doy.
1857 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1859 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1860 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1863 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1864 message) is now deprecated.
1865 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1866 often got it wrong. For example:
1868 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1870 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1874 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1875 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1876 bite you in weird cases.
1878 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1879 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1880 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1881 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1883 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1884 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1888 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1891 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1892 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1895 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1896 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1899 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1902 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1904 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1905 - added tests for this (stevan)
1907 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1908 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1909 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1910 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1914 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1915 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1916 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1917 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1919 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1920 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1921 - added tests for this (rafl)
1923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1924 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1925 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1926 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1930 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1931 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1934 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1935 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1936 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1938 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1940 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1941 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1943 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1944 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1945 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1946 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1947 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1950 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1951 error message did not specify the attribute name
1954 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1956 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1958 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1959 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1960 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1962 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1963 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1966 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1968 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1969 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1970 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1971 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1973 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1975 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1976 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1977 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1978 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1981 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1982 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1985 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1986 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1987 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1988 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1991 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1992 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1993 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1994 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1997 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1998 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1999 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
2000 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
2001 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
2003 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2004 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2005 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2006 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2007 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2008 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2010 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2011 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2013 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2014 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2015 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2016 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2019 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2022 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2026 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2027 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2029 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2030 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2031 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2032 guts. (nothingmuch).
2034 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2036 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2038 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2039 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2040 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2041 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2043 * Moose::Meta::Class
2044 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2047 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2048 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2050 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2051 * Moose::Unsweetened
2052 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2055 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2056 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2057 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2058 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2059 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2060 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2063 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2064 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2065 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2066 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2067 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2068 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2069 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2070 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2071 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2073 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2075 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2076 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2078 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2079 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2080 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2081 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2083 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2084 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2085 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2086 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2087 same methods for a single role did not work
2088 right (worked just fine with multiple
2090 - added test for this (stevan)
2092 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2093 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2094 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2097 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2098 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2099 - added test for this (t0m)
2102 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2103 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2104 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2107 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2108 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2109 - added test for this (t0m)
2111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2112 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2113 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2114 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2115 - added test for this (perigrin)
2118 - create method for constructing a role
2119 dynamically (Sartak)
2120 - added test for this (Sartak)
2121 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2122 - added test for this (Sartak)
2125 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2127 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2128 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2129 methods is useful (Sartak)
2131 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2133 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2136 * Moose::Meta::Class
2137 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2138 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2139 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2140 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2141 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2142 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2145 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2146 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2148 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2149 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2150 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2151 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2152 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2154 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2156 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2157 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2158 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2161 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2162 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2163 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2164 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2165 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2166 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2170 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2171 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2172 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2173 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2174 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2175 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2176 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2177 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2178 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2179 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2182 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2185 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2186 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2187 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2188 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2189 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2191 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2193 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2194 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2195 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2198 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2201 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2202 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2203 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2206 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2207 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2209 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2211 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2212 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2214 * Moose::Meta::Class
2215 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2216 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2217 a required attribute
2219 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2220 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2221 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2222 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2224 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2225 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2228 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2229 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2230 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2231 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2232 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2233 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2234 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2236 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2237 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2238 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2240 * Roles and role application
2241 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2242 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2243 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2244 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2245 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2247 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2248 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2251 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2252 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2253 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2254 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2255 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2258 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2259 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2260 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2261 changes in the Moose internals.
2263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2265 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2268 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2269 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2270 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2271 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2273 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2274 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2275 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2276 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2278 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2279 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2280 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2281 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2282 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2283 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2284 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2285 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2286 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2287 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2288 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2289 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2290 constraint implementations.
2292 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2296 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2297 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2298 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2299 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2300 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2301 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2302 - added tests for this (rafl)
2304 * Moose::Meta::Class
2305 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2306 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2307 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2308 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2309 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2310 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2311 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2312 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2315 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2316 - added tests for this (thepler)
2318 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2319 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2320 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2321 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2324 * Moose::Meta::Class
2325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2326 * Moose::Meta::Method
2329 * Moose::Error::Default
2330 * Moose::Error::Croak
2331 * Moose::Error::Confess
2332 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2333 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2334 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2335 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2336 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2337 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2339 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2341 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2342 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2344 * Moose::Unsweetened
2345 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2346 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2347 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2349 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2350 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2351 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2352 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2353 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2356 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2357 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2359 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2360 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2361 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2362 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2365 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2367 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2368 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2370 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2373 - Various bug fixes.
2375 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2376 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2378 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2380 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2381 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2382 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2383 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2384 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2385 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2387 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2388 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2389 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2391 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2392 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2393 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2396 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2397 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2398 dependency to 0.64_07.
2400 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2401 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2402 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2404 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2405 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2408 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2409 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2410 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2411 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2412 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2413 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2416 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2418 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2420 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2421 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2425 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2426 method when that method was provided by another role being
2427 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2428 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2430 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2432 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2433 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2436 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2437 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2438 - added test for this (t0m)
2440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2441 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2442 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2444 - added test for this (t0m)
2447 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2448 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2449 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2452 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2453 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2455 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2457 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2458 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2460 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2461 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2462 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2464 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2465 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2468 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2469 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2470 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2471 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2475 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2476 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2477 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2480 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2481 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2482 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2483 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2486 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2490 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2491 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2492 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2494 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2495 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2496 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2497 created so that the process can be more easily
2498 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2500 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2501 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2502 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2503 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2506 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2509 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2510 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2512 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2513 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2514 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2516 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2517 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2518 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2520 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2521 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2523 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2524 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2527 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2528 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2532 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2533 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2535 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2536 ... this is not my day today ...
2538 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2539 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2540 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2541 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2542 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2545 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2546 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2547 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2548 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2549 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2552 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2554 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2555 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2556 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2557 this is not ever something you want to do
2558 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2559 - added tests for this (stevan)
2562 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2564 - added test for this
2566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2567 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2568 - added tests for this (wreis)
2570 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2571 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2572 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2573 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2575 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2576 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2577 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2580 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2582 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2584 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2587 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2588 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2589 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2590 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2591 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2592 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2593 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2594 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2595 - added tests for this
2597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2598 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2599 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2600 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2602 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2604 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2605 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2606 - added tests for this (sartak)
2607 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2608 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2611 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2613 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2614 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2618 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2619 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2621 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2623 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2624 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2627 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2628 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2629 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2631 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2632 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2633 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2635 - added docs for this (TODO).
2636 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2637 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2638 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2639 - fix builder and default both being used
2644 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2646 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2647 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2648 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2652 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2656 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2657 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2658 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2660 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2661 - move the ClassName type check code to
2662 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2664 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2665 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2667 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2668 (early morning release engineering)--
2670 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2671 which was causing the indexer to choke
2673 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2674 (late night release engineering)--
2676 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2677 changes in this release
2679 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2680 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2681 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2683 * Moose::Meta::Class
2684 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2685 since it is called so often by &meta
2687 * Moose::Meta::Class
2689 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2690 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2693 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2694 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2695 method for immutablization to check if the
2696 destructor object even needs to be created
2699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2700 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2701 - added more descriptive error message to help
2702 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2703 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2705 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2707 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2708 XS based functionality is now optional
2709 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2710 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2711 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2713 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2714 to take care of this, mostly we added
2715 support for the package_name and name
2716 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2717 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2718 support regexp matching of names
2719 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2720 - tests added for this
2721 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2722 is currently not supported in roles,
2723 but, ... patches welcome
2724 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2725 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2726 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2729 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2730 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2731 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2732 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2733 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2734 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2735 - added test for this
2737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2738 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2739 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2742 * Moose::Meta::Class
2743 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2747 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2749 - added tests for this
2750 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2751 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2753 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2754 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2755 themselves parameterizable types
2757 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2758 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2759 called by the inlined immutable
2761 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2763 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2764 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2765 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2766 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2768 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2769 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2773 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2774 causing occasional cpantester failures
2775 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2776 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2778 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2780 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2781 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2784 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2785 ->body when looping through the
2786 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2788 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

2932 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2934 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2935 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2978 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2979 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3272 when they encounter overriden or modified
3273 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3274 - added tests for this

3284 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3287 * Parameterized Types
3288 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3289 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3290 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3291 They can also be nested:
3292 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3293 And work with the type unions as well:
3294 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3296 * Better Framework Extendability
3297 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3298 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3299 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3300 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3303 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3304 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3305 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3306 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3464 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3465 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3466 prototypes for functions
3467 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3468 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3469 - added tests and docs for this
3470 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3471 default for where be { 1 }
3472 - added test for this
3474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3475 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3476 merlyn for finding this bug
3477 - tests added for this
3478 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3481 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3482 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3483 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3484 - added tests for this
3486 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3488 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3489 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
3490 - altered unimport tests to handle this
3493 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
3495 * Moose::Meta::Class
3496 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
3497 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
3500 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3501 where not handled correctly in roles
3502 - added tests for this
3504 * Moose::Meta::Class
3505 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3506 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3507 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3509 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3510 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3512 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3513 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3514 so this release is just to fix that.
3517 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3518 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3519 (thanks to konobi for this)
3520 - added tests and docs
3522 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3523 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3525 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3526 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3527 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3528 - added tests for this
3529 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3530 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3531 functions to facilitate introspection.
3533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3534 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3535 to build the list of delegated methods
3536 correctly (and not override important
3537 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3539 - added tests and docs for this
3540 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3541 so that you can actually document your
3542 attributes and inspect them through the
3544 - added tests and docs for this
3546 * Moose::Meta::Class
3547 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3548 it will first look in for the class in the
3549 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3550 then default to just loading $name.
3551 - added tests and docs for this
3553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3554 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3555 - added test for this
3558 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3559 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3560 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3561 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3563 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3564 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3567 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3569 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3570 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3571 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3574 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3575 !! for this developer release to work !!
3577 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3578 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3579 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3580 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3581 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3582 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3583 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3584 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3585 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3586 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3587 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3589 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3590 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3591 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3592 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3595 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3596 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3597 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3598 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3599 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3601 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3603 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3604 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3607 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3608 called unless they actually need to be.
3609 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3610 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3611 DEMOLISH method present.
3613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3614 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3615 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3616 type constraint, which allows for a
3617 hand optimized version of the type
3618 constraint to be used when possible.
3619 - Any internally created type constraints
3620 now provide an optimized version as well.
3622 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3624 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3625 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3626 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3628 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3629 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3630 your class namespace of these exported
3633 * Moose::Meta::Class
3634 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3635 comes up during global destruction
3637 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3641 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3644 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3645 - changed how we do type checks so that
3646 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3649 - moved accessor generation methods to
3650 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3651 conform to the API changes from
3654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3655 - changed how constraints are compiled
3656 so that we do less recursion and more
3657 iteration. This makes the type check
3659 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3663 - created this from methods formerly found in
3664 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3666 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3667 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3669 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3670 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3672 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3673 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3675 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3678 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3679 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3680 - added tests for this
3681 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3682 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3683 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3684 - removed tests for this
3686 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3688 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3689 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3690 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3693 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3694 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3695 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3697 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3698 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3699 comments for more info.
3702 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3703 asked questions and common problems
3705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3706 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3707 - added tests for this
3709 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3710 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3711 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3712 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3714 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3715 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3718 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3719 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3720 is much appreciated :)
3721 - added tests for this
3723 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3724 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3725 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3728 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3729 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3731 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3733 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3734 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3738 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3739 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3740 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3742 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3744 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3747 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3748 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3749 keywords because we need to localize them.
3750 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3752 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3753 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3754 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3757 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3760 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3761 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3762 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3765 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3766 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3767 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3769 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3771 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3772 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3773 bottom of your class file.
3776 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3779 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3781 - improved error message when loading modules so
3782 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3783 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3784 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3787 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3788 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3789 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3791 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3792 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3794 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3795 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3796 turn them on for you.
3797 - added tests for this
3798 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3799 in Moose::Meta::Class

3826 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3827 - This release works in combination with
3828 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3829 release because it uses the a new
3830 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3831 complete Role implementation. It has
3832 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3833 the the previous CPAN version. This
3834 release also lacks good updated docs,
3835 the official release will have updated docs.
3838 - refactored the keyword exports
3839 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3840 accepts more than one Role at a time

3846 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3847 accepts more than one Role at a time
3849 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3851 string enumerations which can be used as
3853 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3856 - more careful checking of params to new()
3859 - much work done on the role composition
3860 - many new tests for conflict detection
3861 and composition edge cases
3862 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3863 looking at the tests
3865 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3866 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3867 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3869 * Moose::Meta::Class

3872 - some small additions to support Roles
3874 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3877 - some small changes to support the new
3879 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3880 with the 'handles' option
3881 - added several tests for this
3882 - no docs for this yet

3886 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3887 thanks to chansen for this commit
3888 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3889 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3890 on a per-attribute basis
3891 - added tests for this
3892 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3893 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3894 experimental feature and probably not finished

3896 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3897 - added tests for this
