1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
14 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
15 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
16 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
21 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
22 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
23 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
24 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
26 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
30 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
31 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
32 the attribute's reference.
36 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
37 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
42 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
43 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
46 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
47 the Object constraint).
49 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
53 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
54 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
59 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
61 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
65 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
68 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
70 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
74 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
76 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
80 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
83 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
84 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
85 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
87 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
90 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
94 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
96 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
100 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
102 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
106 * Include changes from 2.0010.
108 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
112 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
113 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
117 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
118 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
119 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
124 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
126 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
130 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
131 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
133 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
137 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
139 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
143 * Various packaging issues.
145 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
149 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
150 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
155 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
156 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
157 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
161 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
162 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
163 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
165 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
169 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
170 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
172 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
176 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
177 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
179 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
182 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
183 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
187 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
188 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
190 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
194 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
195 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
199 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
201 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
205 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
207 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
211 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
212 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
214 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
218 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
220 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
224 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
226 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
227 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
229 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
233 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
234 skips every other role. (rjbs)
236 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
237 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
238 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
239 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
240 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
242 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
246 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
247 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
248 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
251 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
256 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
258 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
259 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
261 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
265 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
266 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
267 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
271 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
272 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
274 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
275 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
277 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
278 environments. (doy, mateu)
280 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
284 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
285 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
286 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
287 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
291 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
292 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
294 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
298 * Update conflicts list.
301 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
305 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
306 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
307 details. (Dave Rolsky)
309 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
310 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
311 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
312 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
313 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
318 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
319 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
320 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
321 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
324 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
328 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
329 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
331 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
334 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
338 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
339 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
340 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
341 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
343 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
344 immutable classes). (mo)
346 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
347 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
348 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
350 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
354 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
356 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
358 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
362 * Fix some indexing issues.
364 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
366 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
370 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
371 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
372 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
373 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
374 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
376 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
377 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
382 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
383 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
384 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
385 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
387 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
388 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
389 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
393 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
394 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
397 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
401 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
402 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
406 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
410 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
411 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
412 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
413 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
416 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
420 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
423 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
427 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
428 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
429 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
432 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
436 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
437 policy. (Chris Prather)
439 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
440 on this new support policy. (doy)
444 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
445 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
446 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
448 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
449 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
451 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
455 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
456 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
457 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
458 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
461 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
465 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
466 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
469 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
473 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
474 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
476 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
477 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
481 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
482 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
483 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
484 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
485 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
486 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
488 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
489 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
491 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
492 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
493 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
494 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
496 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
497 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
499 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
504 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
505 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
507 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
511 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
512 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
513 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
515 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
519 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
520 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
521 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
523 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
524 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
527 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
528 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
531 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
532 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
533 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
535 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
536 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
541 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
542 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
543 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
544 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
546 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
547 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
549 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
550 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
552 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
553 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
554 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
555 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
557 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
558 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
559 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
562 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
563 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
564 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
565 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
567 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
568 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
571 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
572 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
573 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
575 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
579 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
580 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
581 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
583 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
584 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
585 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
588 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
589 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
590 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
592 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
593 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
594 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
596 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
597 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
601 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
602 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
603 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
605 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
606 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
607 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
608 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
610 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
614 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
615 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
616 value is a reference.
618 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
619 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
621 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
625 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
626 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
627 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
629 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
633 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
634 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
638 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
639 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
640 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
642 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
643 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
644 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
646 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
650 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
652 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
656 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
658 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
659 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
664 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
665 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
667 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
668 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
669 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
670 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
671 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
673 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
674 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
675 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
676 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
678 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
682 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
683 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
688 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
690 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
692 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
697 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
699 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
703 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
704 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
705 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
707 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
708 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
709 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
710 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
712 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
713 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
714 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
715 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
716 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
719 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
724 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
725 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
726 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
727 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
728 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
731 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
735 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
738 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
739 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
743 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
744 function (not just method). (doy)
748 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
749 and aren't easily installable/testable.
751 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
755 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
756 to be overridden more easily (doy).
758 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
762 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
763 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
765 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
769 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
770 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
771 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
773 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
777 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
778 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
779 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
781 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
782 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
786 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
787 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
789 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
790 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
794 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
795 is applied to a class (t0m).
797 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
798 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
800 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
803 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
804 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
806 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
807 be much more robust. (doy)
809 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
811 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
814 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
818 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
819 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
821 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
825 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
826 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
828 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
831 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
832 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
833 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
835 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
836 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
837 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
840 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
842 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
846 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
847 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
851 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
853 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
858 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
862 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
863 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
867 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
869 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
873 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
874 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
878 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
879 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
883 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
884 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
886 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
890 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
891 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
892 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
895 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
899 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
900 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
901 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
902 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
904 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
908 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
909 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
910 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
914 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
917 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
921 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
922 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
923 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
927 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
928 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
930 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
931 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
932 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
933 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
935 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
939 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
943 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
944 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
946 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
947 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
948 - Moose::Util::does_role
949 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
950 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
951 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
953 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
957 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
958 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
959 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
962 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
966 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
967 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
970 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
974 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
975 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
978 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
982 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
984 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
985 class. (Dave Rolsky).
987 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
988 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
989 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
991 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
992 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
993 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
996 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
997 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
999 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1000 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1001 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1003 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1005 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1006 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1008 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1010 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1013 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1014 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1016 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1017 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1019 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1020 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1021 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1022 dependencies installed.
1024 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1025 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1028 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1030 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1034 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1037 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1038 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1041 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1042 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1044 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1045 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1048 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1049 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1050 others. (nothingmuch)
1052 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1053 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1054 remove_accessors. (doy)
1056 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1057 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1058 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1061 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1063 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1065 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1066 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1068 * Moose::Meta::Class
1069 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1070 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1073 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1075 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1077 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1078 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1081 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1082 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1083 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1084 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1085 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1087 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1090 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1091 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1092 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1093 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1096 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1097 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1098 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1099 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1100 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1102 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1103 which were not receiving the value of
1104 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1105 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1106 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1107 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1111 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1112 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1113 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1114 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1115 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1118 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1119 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1120 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1121 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1123 * Moose::Meta::Class
1124 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1125 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1126 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1129 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1131 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1134 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1135 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1138 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1139 class if you pass it options for
1140 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1141 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1142 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1143 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1144 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1145 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1146 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1147 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1148 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1150 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1151 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1152 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1153 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1154 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1157 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1159 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1160 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1163 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1164 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1165 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1166 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1167 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1170 * Moose::Error::Croak
1171 * Moose::Error::Confess
1172 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1173 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1176 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1179 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1180 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1181 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1183 * Moose::Meta::Class
1184 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1187 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1188 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1189 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1191 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1192 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1193 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1194 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1195 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1197 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1198 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1201 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1203 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1204 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1207 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1208 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1211 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1212 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1213 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1216 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1217 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1218 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1219 using it for new code!
1221 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1222 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1223 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1224 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1226 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1227 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1228 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1229 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1230 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1231 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1232 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1233 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1236 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1239 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1240 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1244 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1247 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1248 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1250 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1251 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1252 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1253 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1255 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1256 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1257 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1259 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1260 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1261 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1264 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1266 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1267 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1268 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1269 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1271 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1273 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1277 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1278 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1280 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1281 associated_methods. (hdp)
1282 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1283 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1284 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1285 misspelled) arguments
1287 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1288 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1289 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1290 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1292 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1294 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1296 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1299 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1300 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1301 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1304 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1305 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1307 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1308 * Moose::Meta::Class
1309 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1310 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1312 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1313 * Moose::Manual::Types
1314 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1315 string parsing rathole (mst)
1317 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1318 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1319 using plain objects instead
1321 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1322 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1323 that's what we need.
1325 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1326 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1327 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1328 three times today (perigrin)
1329 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1330 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1332 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1333 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1334 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1335 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1338 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1339 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1340 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1341 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1342 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1343 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1346 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1347 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1348 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1349 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1352 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1354 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1357 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1359 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1362 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1363 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1364 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1368 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1369 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1372 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1373 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1375 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1376 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1377 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1379 * Moose::Unsweetened
1380 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1382 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1383 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1386 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1390 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1391 methods during global destruction (doy)
1393 * Moose::Meta::Class
1394 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1395 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1396 consumption (Sartak)
1398 * Moose::Meta::Class
1399 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1400 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1403 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1404 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1407 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1408 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1410 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1412 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1416 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1417 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1418 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1421 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1422 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1423 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1426 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1428 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1430 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1433 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1434 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1435 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1436 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1438 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1439 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1440 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1443 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1446 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1447 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1448 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1452 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1453 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1455 * Moose::Meta::Class
1456 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1458 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1460 * Moose::Meta::Class
1461 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1462 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1465 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1466 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1469 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1470 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1473 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1476 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1479 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1482 * Moose::Meta::Class
1483 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1486 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1489 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1490 * More deprecations and renamings
1491 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1492 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1493 when an object is constructed)
1496 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1497 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1498 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1500 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1501 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1502 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1503 feature, and it works again.
1506 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1508 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1510 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1511 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1512 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1514 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1515 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1516 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1517 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1518 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1520 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1521 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1522 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1523 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1524 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1527 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1528 metaclass object. (hdp)
1530 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1531 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1532 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1533 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1534 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1535 point out this fact. (hdp)
1537 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1538 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1540 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1541 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1543 * Moose::Meta::Class
1544 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1545 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1546 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1547 called during instance construction were passed the
1548 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1549 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1551 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1552 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1555 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1556 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1557 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1560 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1561 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1562 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1563 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1564 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1566 - Moose::Meta::Class
1567 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1569 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1570 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1571 when an object is constructed)
1572 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1574 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1575 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1576 when an object is constructed)
1577 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1578 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1579 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1582 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1584 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1585 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1587 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1589 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1590 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1591 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1593 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1594 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1595 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1597 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1600 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1602 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1603 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1606 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1607 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1610 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1611 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1612 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1614 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1615 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1619 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1620 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1621 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1624 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1627 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1628 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1629 with recommended workarounds.
1631 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1632 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1635 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1636 (yes, spelled like that).
1638 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1639 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1641 * Moose::Meta::Class
1642 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1643 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1645 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1647 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1648 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1649 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1650 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1651 instead. Reported by doy.
1653 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1655 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1656 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1658 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1659 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1660 message) is now deprecated.
1661 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1662 often got it wrong. For example:
1664 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1666 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1670 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1671 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1672 bite you in weird cases.
1674 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1675 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1676 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1677 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1679 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1680 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1684 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1687 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1688 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1691 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1692 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1695 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1698 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1700 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1701 - added tests for this (stevan)
1703 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1704 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1705 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1706 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1710 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1711 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1712 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1713 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1715 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1716 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1717 - added tests for this (rafl)
1719 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1720 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1721 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1722 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1726 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1727 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1730 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1731 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1732 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1734 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1736 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1737 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1739 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1740 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1741 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1742 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1743 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1746 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1747 error message did not specify the attribute name
1750 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1752 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1754 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1755 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1756 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1759 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1762 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1764 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1765 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1766 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1767 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1769 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1771 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1772 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1773 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1774 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1777 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1778 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1781 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1782 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1783 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1784 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1787 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1788 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1789 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1790 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1793 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1794 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1795 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1796 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1797 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1799 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1800 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1801 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1802 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1803 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1804 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1806 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1807 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1809 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1810 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1811 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1812 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1815 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1818 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1822 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1823 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1825 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1826 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1827 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1828 guts. (nothingmuch).
1830 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1832 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1835 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1836 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1837 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1839 * Moose::Meta::Class
1840 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1843 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1844 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1846 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1847 * Moose::Unsweetened
1848 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1851 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1852 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1853 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1854 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1855 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1856 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1859 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1860 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1861 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1862 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1863 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1864 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1865 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1866 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1867 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1871 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1872 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1874 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1875 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1876 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1877 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1880 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1881 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1882 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1883 same methods for a single role did not work
1884 right (worked just fine with multiple
1886 - added test for this (stevan)
1888 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1889 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1890 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1893 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1894 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1895 - added test for this (t0m)
1898 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1899 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1900 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1902 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1903 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1904 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1905 - added test for this (t0m)
1907 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1908 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1909 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1910 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1911 - added test for this (perigrin)
1914 - create method for constructing a role
1915 dynamically (Sartak)
1916 - added test for this (Sartak)
1917 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1918 - added test for this (Sartak)
1921 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1923 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1924 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1925 methods is useful (Sartak)
1927 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1928 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1929 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1932 * Moose::Meta::Class
1933 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1934 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1935 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1936 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1937 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1938 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1941 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1942 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1944 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1945 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1946 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1947 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1948 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1950 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1952 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1953 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1954 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1957 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1958 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1959 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1960 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1961 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1962 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1965 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1966 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1967 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1968 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1969 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1970 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1971 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1972 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1973 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1974 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1975 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1977 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1978 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1981 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1982 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1983 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1984 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1985 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1987 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1989 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1990 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1991 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1993 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1994 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1997 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1998 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1999 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2002 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2003 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2005 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2007 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2008 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2010 * Moose::Meta::Class
2011 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2012 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2013 a required attribute
2015 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2017 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2018 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2020 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2021 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2023 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2024 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2025 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2026 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2027 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2028 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2029 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2030 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2032 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2033 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2034 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2036 * Roles and role application
2037 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2038 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2039 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2040 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2041 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2043 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2044 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2047 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2048 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2049 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2050 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2051 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2054 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2055 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2056 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2057 changes in the Moose internals.
2059 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2060 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2061 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2064 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2065 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2066 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2067 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2069 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2070 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2071 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2072 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2075 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2076 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2077 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2078 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2079 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2080 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2081 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2082 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2083 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2084 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2085 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2086 constraint implementations.
2088 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2092 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2093 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2094 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2095 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2096 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2097 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2098 - added tests for this (rafl)
2100 * Moose::Meta::Class
2101 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2102 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2103 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2104 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2105 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2106 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2107 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2108 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2111 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2112 - added tests for this (thepler)
2114 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2115 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2116 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2117 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2120 * Moose::Meta::Class
2121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2122 * Moose::Meta::Method
2125 * Moose::Error::Default
2126 * Moose::Error::Croak
2127 * Moose::Error::Confess
2128 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2129 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2130 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2131 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2132 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2133 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2135 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2137 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2138 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2140 * Moose::Unsweetened
2141 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2142 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2143 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2146 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2147 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2148 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2149 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2152 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2153 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2155 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2156 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2157 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2158 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2177 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2178 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2198 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2201 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2205 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2206 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2207 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2208 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2209 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2211 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2212 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2214 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2216 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2217 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2221 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2222 method when that method was provided by another role being
2223 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2224 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2226 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2233 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2234 - added test for this (t0m)
2236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2237 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2238 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2240 - added test for this (t0m)
2243 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2244 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2245 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2248 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2249 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2251 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2253 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2254 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2256 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2257 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2258 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2260 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2261 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2264 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2267 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2271 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2272 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2273 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2282 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2286 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2292 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2293 created so that the process can be more easily

2328 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2329 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2331 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2332 ... this is not my day today ...
2334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2335 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2336 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2337 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2338 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2341 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2342 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2343 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2344 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2345 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2348 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2350 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2351 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2352 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2353 this is not ever something you want to do
2354 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2355 - added tests for this (stevan)
2358 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2360 - added test for this

2373 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2376 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2378 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2380 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2383 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2384 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2385 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2386 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2387 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2388 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2389 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2390 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2391 - added tests for this
2393 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2394 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2395 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2396 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2398 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2467 which was causing the indexer to choke
2469 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2470 (late night release engineering)--
2472 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2473 changes in this release

2489 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2490 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2491 method for immutablization to check if the
2492 destructor object even needs to be created
2495 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2496 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2497 - added more descriptive error message to help
2498 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2499 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2501 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2503 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2504 XS based functionality is now optional
2505 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2506 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2507 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2509 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2510 to take care of this, mostly we added
2511 support for the package_name and name

2514 support regexp matching of names
2515 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2517 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2518 is currently not supported in roles,
2519 but, ... patches welcome

2521 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2522 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2526 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2527 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2528 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2529 same array ref form that Moose.pm does

2531 - added test for this
2533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2534 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2535 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2538 * Moose::Meta::Class

2559 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2560 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2561 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2562 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)

2577 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2580 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2581 ->body when looping through the
2582 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2584 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2585 eating the $@ values, and so not
2586 working correctly, it still kind of
2587 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2588 - added tests for this
2590 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2591 - added new recipe for immutable
2592 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2610 drink more coffee before
2611 doing release engineering
2613 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2725 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2726 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2728 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2730 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2731 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2732 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2734 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2735 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2756 a role is applied to an the instance (rebless_params)
2757 - added tests for this
2759 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2760 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a
2761 custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
2762 - added tests for this
2763 - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an
2764 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else

2769 - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed
2770 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2772 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2773 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2774 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2775 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3021 - added tests for this
3024 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3025 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3069 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3070 - added tests for this
3072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3074 the | always creates a union and so is
3075 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3080 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3083 * Parameterized Types
3084 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3085 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3086 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3087 They can also be nested:
3088 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3089 And work with the type unions as well:
3090 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3092 * Better Framework Extendability
3093 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3094 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3095 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3096 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3099 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3100 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3101 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3102 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3105 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3107 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

3337 so that you can actually document your
3338 attributes and inspect them through the

3342 * Moose::Meta::Class
3343 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3344 it will first look in for the class in the

3349 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3350 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3351 - added test for this

3359 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3360 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3363 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3365 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3366 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3367 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3370 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3371 !! for this developer release to work !!
3373 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3374 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3375 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3376 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3377 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3378 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3379 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3380 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3381 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3382 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3383 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3385 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3386 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3387 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3388 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3391 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3393 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3394 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3395 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3397 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3399 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3400 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3403 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3404 called unless they actually need to be.
3405 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3406 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3407 DEMOLISH method present.
3409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3410 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3411 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3412 type constraint, which allows for a
3413 hand optimized version of the type
3414 constraint to be used when possible.
3415 - Any internally created type constraints
3416 now provide an optimized version as well.
3418 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3420 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3421 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3422 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3424 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3425 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3426 your class namespace of these exported
3429 * Moose::Meta::Class
3430 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3431 comes up during global destruction
3433 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3437 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3441 - changed how we do type checks so that
3442 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3445 - moved accessor generation methods to
3446 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3447 conform to the API changes from
3450 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3451 - changed how constraints are compiled
3452 so that we do less recursion and more
3453 iteration. This makes the type check
3455 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3459 - created this from methods formerly found in
3460 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3462 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3463 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3465 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3466 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3468 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3469 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3471 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3474 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3475 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3476 - added tests for this
3477 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3478 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3479 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3480 - removed tests for this
3482 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3484 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3485 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3486 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3489 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3490 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3491 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3493 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3494 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3495 comments for more info.
3498 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3499 asked questions and common problems
3501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3502 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3503 - added tests for this
3505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3506 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3507 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3508 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3510 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3511 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3514 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3515 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3516 is much appreciated :)
3517 - added tests for this
3519 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3520 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3521 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3524 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3525 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3527 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3529 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3530 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3534 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3535 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3536 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3538 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3540 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3543 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3544 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3545 keywords because we need to localize them.
3546 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3548 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3549 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3550 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3553 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3556 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3557 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3558 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3561 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3562 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3563 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3565 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3567 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3568 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3569 bottom of your class file.
3572 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3575 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3577 - improved error message when loading modules so
3578 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3579 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3580 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3583 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3584 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3585 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3587 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3588 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3590 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3591 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3592 turn them on for you.
3593 - added tests for this
3594 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3595 in Moose::Meta::Class
3598 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3599 automatically turned on for you.
3600 - added tests for this
3603 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3604 - added tests for this

3618 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3621 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3622 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3623 - This release works in combination with
3624 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3625 release because it uses the a new
3626 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3627 complete Role implementation. It has
3628 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3629 the the previous CPAN version. This
3630 release also lacks good updated docs,
3631 the official release will have updated docs.
3634 - refactored the keyword exports
3635 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3636 accepts more than one Role at a time
3637 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3638 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3641 - refactored the keyword exports
3642 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3643 accepts more than one Role at a time
3645 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3646 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3647 string enumerations which can be used as
3649 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3652 - more careful checking of params to new()
3655 - much work done on the role composition
3656 - many new tests for conflict detection
3657 and composition edge cases
3658 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3659 looking at the tests
3661 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3662 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3663 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3665 * Moose::Meta::Class
3666 - some small changes to support the new
3668 - some small additions to support Roles
3670 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3671 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3673 - some small changes to support the new
3675 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3676 with the 'handles' option
3677 - added several tests for this
3678 - no docs for this yet
3680 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3682 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3683 thanks to chansen for this commit
3684 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3685 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3686 on a per-attribute basis
3687 - added tests for this
3688 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3689 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3690 experimental feature and probably not finished
3691 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3692 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3693 - added tests for this

3755 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3757 - added test for this
3760 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
