1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The non-arrayref forms of enum and duck_type have been deprecated. See
9 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (doy)
13 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
14 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
18 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
19 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
20 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
22 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
23 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
24 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
25 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
26 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
28 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
32 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
33 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
34 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
36 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
40 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
42 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
46 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
47 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
48 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
51 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
53 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
57 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
59 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
63 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
64 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
68 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
69 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
70 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
71 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
72 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
77 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
78 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
79 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
80 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
82 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
83 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
84 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
86 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
87 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
88 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
89 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
91 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
92 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
93 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
94 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
96 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
97 package which was deleted. (doy)
99 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
103 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
105 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
109 * Minor documentation fixes.
111 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
112 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
114 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
118 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
119 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
121 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
125 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
127 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
131 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
133 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
136 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
140 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
142 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
143 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
147 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
148 more values were required. (rjbs)
150 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
154 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
155 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
159 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
160 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
161 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
162 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
164 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
165 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
166 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
168 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
169 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
172 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
173 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
174 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
175 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
179 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
180 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
181 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
182 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
185 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
189 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
190 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
191 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
193 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
194 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
195 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
197 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
198 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
199 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
201 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
202 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
205 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
206 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
207 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
209 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
210 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
213 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
214 the associated stash. (doy)
218 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
219 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
220 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
221 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
223 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
227 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
228 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
229 the attribute's reference.
233 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
234 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
239 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
240 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
241 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
244 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
245 the Object constraint).
247 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
251 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
252 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
257 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
259 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
263 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
266 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
268 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
272 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
274 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
278 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
281 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
282 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
283 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
285 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
288 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
292 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
294 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
298 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
300 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
304 * Include changes from 2.0010.
306 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
310 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
311 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
315 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
316 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
317 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
322 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
324 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
328 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
329 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
331 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
335 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
337 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
341 * Various packaging issues.
343 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
347 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
348 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
353 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
354 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
355 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
359 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
360 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
361 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
363 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
367 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
368 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
370 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
374 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
375 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
377 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
380 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
381 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
385 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
386 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
388 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
392 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
393 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
397 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
399 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
403 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
405 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
409 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
410 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
412 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
416 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
418 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
422 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
424 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
425 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
427 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
431 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
432 skips every other role. (rjbs)
434 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
435 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
436 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
437 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
438 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
440 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
444 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
445 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
446 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
449 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
454 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
456 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
457 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
459 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
463 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
464 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
465 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
469 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
470 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
472 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
473 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
475 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
476 environments. (doy, mateu)
478 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
482 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
483 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
484 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
485 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
489 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
490 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
492 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
496 * Update conflicts list.
499 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
503 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
504 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
505 details. (Dave Rolsky)
507 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
508 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
509 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
510 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
511 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
515 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
516 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
517 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
518 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
519 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
522 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
526 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
527 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
529 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
532 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
536 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
537 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
538 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
539 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
541 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
542 immutable classes). (mo)
544 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
545 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
546 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
548 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
552 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
554 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
556 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
560 * Fix some indexing issues.
562 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
564 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
568 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
569 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
570 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
571 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
572 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
574 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
575 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
580 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
581 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
582 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
583 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
585 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
586 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
587 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
591 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
592 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
595 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
599 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
600 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
604 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
608 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
609 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
610 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
611 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
614 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
618 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
621 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
625 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
626 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
627 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
630 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
634 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
635 policy. (Chris Prather)
637 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
638 on this new support policy. (doy)
642 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
643 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
644 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
646 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
647 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
649 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
653 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
654 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
655 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
656 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
659 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
663 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
664 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
667 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
671 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
672 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
674 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
675 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
679 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
680 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
681 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
682 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
683 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
684 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
686 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
687 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
689 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
690 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
691 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
692 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
694 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
695 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
697 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
702 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
703 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
705 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
709 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
710 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
711 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
713 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
717 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
718 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
719 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
721 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
722 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
725 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
726 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
729 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
730 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
731 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
733 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
734 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
739 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
740 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
741 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
742 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
744 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
745 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
747 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
748 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
750 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
751 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
752 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
753 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
755 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
756 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
757 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
760 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
761 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
762 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
763 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
765 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
766 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
769 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
770 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
771 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
773 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
777 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
778 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
779 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
781 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
782 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
783 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
786 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
787 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
788 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
790 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
791 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
792 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
794 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
795 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
799 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
800 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
801 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
803 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
804 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
805 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
806 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
808 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
812 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
813 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
814 value is a reference.
816 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
817 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
819 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
823 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
824 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
825 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
827 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
831 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
832 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
836 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
837 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
838 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
840 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
841 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
842 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
844 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
848 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
850 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
854 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
856 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
857 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
862 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
863 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
865 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
866 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
867 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
868 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
869 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
871 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
872 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
873 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
874 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
876 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
880 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
881 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
886 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
888 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
890 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
895 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
897 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
901 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
902 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
903 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
905 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
906 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
907 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
908 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
910 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
911 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
912 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
913 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
914 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
917 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
922 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
923 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
924 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
925 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
926 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
929 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
933 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
936 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
937 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
941 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
942 function (not just method). (doy)
946 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
947 and aren't easily installable/testable.
949 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
953 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
954 to be overridden more easily (doy).
956 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
960 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
961 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
963 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
967 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
968 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
969 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
971 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
975 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
976 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
977 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
979 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
980 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
984 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
985 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
987 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
988 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
992 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
993 is applied to a class (t0m).
995 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
996 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
998 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1001 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1002 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1004 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1005 be much more robust. (doy)
1007 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1009 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1012 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1016 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1017 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1019 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1023 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1024 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1026 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1029 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1030 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1031 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1033 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1034 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1035 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1038 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1040 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1044 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1045 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1049 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1051 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1056 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1060 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1061 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1065 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1067 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1071 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1072 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1076 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1077 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1081 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1082 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1084 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1088 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1089 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1090 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1093 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1097 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1098 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1099 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1100 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1102 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1106 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1107 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1108 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1112 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1113 (Michael G. Schwern)
1115 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1120 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1121 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1125 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1126 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1128 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1129 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1130 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1131 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1133 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1137 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1141 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1142 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1144 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1145 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1146 - Moose::Util::does_role
1147 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1148 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1149 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1151 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1155 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1156 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1157 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1160 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1164 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1165 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1168 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1172 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1173 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1176 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1180 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1182 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1183 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1185 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1186 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1187 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1190 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1191 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1194 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1195 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1197 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1198 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1199 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1201 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1203 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1204 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1206 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1208 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1211 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1212 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1214 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1215 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1217 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1218 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1219 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1220 dependencies installed.
1222 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1223 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1226 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1228 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1232 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1235 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1236 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1239 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1240 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1242 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1243 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1246 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1247 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1248 others. (nothingmuch)
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1251 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1252 remove_accessors. (doy)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1255 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1256 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1259 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1261 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1262 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1263 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1264 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Class
1267 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1268 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1270 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1271 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1273 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1275 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1276 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1280 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1281 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1282 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1283 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1285 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1288 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1289 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1290 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1291 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1294 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1295 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1296 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1297 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1298 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1300 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1301 which were not receiving the value of
1302 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1303 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1304 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1305 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1309 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1310 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1311 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1312 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1313 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1317 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1318 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1319 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1321 * Moose::Meta::Class
1322 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1323 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1324 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1327 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1329 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1331 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1332 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1333 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1336 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1337 class if you pass it options for
1338 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1339 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1340 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1341 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1342 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1343 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1344 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1345 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1346 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1348 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1349 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1350 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1351 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1352 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1355 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1357 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1358 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1361 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1362 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1363 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1364 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1365 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1368 * Moose::Error::Croak
1369 * Moose::Error::Confess
1370 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1371 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1374 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1377 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1378 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1379 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1381 * Moose::Meta::Class
1382 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1385 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1386 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1387 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1389 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1390 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1391 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1392 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1393 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1395 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1396 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1399 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1401 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1402 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1405 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1406 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1409 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1410 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1411 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1414 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1415 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1416 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1417 using it for new code!
1419 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1420 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1421 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1422 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1424 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1425 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1426 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1427 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1428 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1429 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1430 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1431 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1434 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1437 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1438 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1441 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1442 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1445 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1446 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1448 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1450 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1451 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1453 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1454 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1455 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1458 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1459 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1462 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1464 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1465 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1466 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1467 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1469 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1471 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1475 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1476 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1478 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1479 associated_methods. (hdp)
1480 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1481 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1482 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1483 misspelled) arguments
1485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1486 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1487 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1488 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1490 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1492 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1494 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1498 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1499 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1502 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1503 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1505 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1506 * Moose::Meta::Class
1507 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1508 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1510 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1511 * Moose::Manual::Types
1512 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1513 string parsing rathole (mst)
1515 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1516 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1517 using plain objects instead
1519 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1520 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1521 that's what we need.
1523 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1524 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1525 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1526 three times today (perigrin)
1527 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1528 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1531 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1532 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1533 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1536 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1537 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1538 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1539 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1540 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1541 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1544 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1545 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1546 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1547 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1550 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1552 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1555 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1557 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1560 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1561 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1562 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1566 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1567 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1570 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1571 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1573 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1574 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1575 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1577 * Moose::Unsweetened
1578 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1580 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1581 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1584 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1588 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1589 methods during global destruction (doy)
1591 * Moose::Meta::Class
1592 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1593 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1594 consumption (Sartak)
1596 * Moose::Meta::Class
1597 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1598 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1601 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1602 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1605 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1606 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1608 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1610 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1614 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1615 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1616 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1619 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1620 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1621 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1624 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1626 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1627 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1628 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1631 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1632 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1633 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1634 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1636 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1637 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1638 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1641 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1644 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1645 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1646 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1650 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1651 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1653 * Moose::Meta::Class
1654 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1656 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1658 * Moose::Meta::Class
1659 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1660 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1663 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1664 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1667 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1668 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1671 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1674 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1677 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1680 * Moose::Meta::Class
1681 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1683 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1684 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1687 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1688 * More deprecations and renamings
1689 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1690 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1691 when an object is constructed)
1694 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1695 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1696 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1699 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1700 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1701 feature, and it works again.
1704 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1706 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1708 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1709 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1710 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1713 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1714 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1715 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1716 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1718 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1719 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1720 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1721 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1722 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1725 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1726 metaclass object. (hdp)
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1730 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1731 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1732 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1733 point out this fact. (hdp)
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1736 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1738 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1739 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1741 * Moose::Meta::Class
1742 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1743 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1744 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1745 called during instance construction were passed the
1746 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1747 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1749 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1750 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1753 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1754 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1755 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1758 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1759 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1760 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1761 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1762 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1764 - Moose::Meta::Class
1765 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1767 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1768 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1769 when an object is constructed)
1770 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1772 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1773 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1774 when an object is constructed)
1775 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1776 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1777 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1780 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1782 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1783 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1785 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1787 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1788 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1789 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1792 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1793 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1795 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1797 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1798 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1800 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1801 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1804 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1805 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1808 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1809 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1810 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1813 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1817 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1818 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1819 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1822 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1825 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1826 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1827 with recommended workarounds.
1829 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1830 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1832 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1833 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1834 (yes, spelled like that).
1836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1837 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1839 * Moose::Meta::Class
1840 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1841 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1843 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1845 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1846 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1847 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1848 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1849 instead. Reported by doy.
1851 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1853 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1854 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1856 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1857 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1858 message) is now deprecated.
1859 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1860 often got it wrong. For example:
1862 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1864 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1868 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1869 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1870 bite you in weird cases.
1872 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1873 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1874 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1875 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1878 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1882 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1885 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1886 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1890 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1893 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1896 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1898 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1899 - added tests for this (stevan)
1901 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1902 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1903 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1904 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1908 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1909 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1910 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1911 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1913 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1914 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1915 - added tests for this (rafl)
1917 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1918 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1919 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1920 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1924 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1925 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1928 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1929 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1930 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1932 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1934 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1935 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1937 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1938 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1939 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1940 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1941 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1943 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1944 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1945 error message did not specify the attribute name
1948 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1950 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1952 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1953 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1954 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1956 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1957 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1960 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1962 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1963 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1964 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1965 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1967 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1969 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1970 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1971 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1972 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1975 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1976 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1979 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1980 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1981 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1982 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1984 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1985 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1986 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1987 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1988 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1990 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1991 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1992 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1993 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1994 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1995 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1997 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1998 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1999 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2000 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2001 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2002 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2005 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2007 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2008 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2009 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2010 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2013 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2016 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2020 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2021 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2023 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2024 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2025 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2026 guts. (nothingmuch).
2028 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2029 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2030 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2033 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2034 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2035 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2037 * Moose::Meta::Class
2038 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2041 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2042 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2044 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2045 * Moose::Unsweetened
2046 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2049 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2050 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2051 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2052 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2053 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2054 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2056 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2057 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2058 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2059 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2060 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2061 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2062 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2063 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2064 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2065 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2067 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2069 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2070 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2072 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2073 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2074 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2075 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2077 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2078 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2079 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2080 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2081 same methods for a single role did not work
2082 right (worked just fine with multiple
2084 - added test for this (stevan)
2086 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2087 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2088 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2091 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2092 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2093 - added test for this (t0m)
2096 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2097 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2098 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2100 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2101 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2102 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2103 - added test for this (t0m)
2105 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2106 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2107 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2108 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2109 - added test for this (perigrin)
2112 - create method for constructing a role
2113 dynamically (Sartak)
2114 - added test for this (Sartak)
2115 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2116 - added test for this (Sartak)
2119 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2121 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2122 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2123 methods is useful (Sartak)
2125 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2127 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2130 * Moose::Meta::Class
2131 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2132 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2133 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2134 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2135 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2136 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2139 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2140 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2142 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2143 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2144 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2145 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2146 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2148 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2150 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2151 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2152 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2155 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2156 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2157 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2158 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2159 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2160 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2163 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2164 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2165 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2166 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2167 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2168 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2169 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2170 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2171 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2172 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2173 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2176 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2179 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2180 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2181 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2182 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2183 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2185 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2187 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2188 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2189 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2192 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2194 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2195 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2196 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2197 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2200 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2201 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2203 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2205 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2206 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2208 * Moose::Meta::Class
2209 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2210 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2211 a required attribute
2213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2214 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2215 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2216 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2219 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2221 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2222 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2223 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2224 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2225 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2226 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2227 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2228 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2230 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2231 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2232 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2234 * Roles and role application
2235 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2236 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2237 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2238 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2239 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2241 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2242 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2245 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2246 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2247 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2248 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2249 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2252 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2253 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2254 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2255 changes in the Moose internals.
2257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2259 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2263 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2264 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2265 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2267 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2268 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2269 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2270 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2272 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2273 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2274 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2275 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2276 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2277 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2278 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2279 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2280 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2281 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2282 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2283 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2284 constraint implementations.
2286 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2290 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2291 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2292 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2293 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2294 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2295 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2296 - added tests for this (rafl)
2298 * Moose::Meta::Class
2299 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2300 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2301 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2302 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2303 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2304 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2305 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2306 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2309 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2310 - added tests for this (thepler)
2312 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2313 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2314 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2315 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2318 * Moose::Meta::Class
2319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2320 * Moose::Meta::Method
2323 * Moose::Error::Default
2324 * Moose::Error::Croak
2325 * Moose::Error::Confess
2326 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2327 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2328 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2329 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2330 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2331 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2333 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2335 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2336 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2338 * Moose::Unsweetened
2339 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2340 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2341 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2344 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2345 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2346 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2347 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2350 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2351 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2353 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2354 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2355 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2356 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2359 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2361 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2362 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2364 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2367 - Various bug fixes.
2369 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2370 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2372 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2374 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2375 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2376 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2377 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2378 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2379 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2381 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2382 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2383 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2385 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2386 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2387 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2390 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2391 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2392 dependency to 0.64_07.
2394 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2395 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2396 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2399 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2402 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2403 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2404 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2405 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2406 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2407 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2410 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2412 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2414 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2415 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2419 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2420 method when that method was provided by another role being
2421 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2422 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2424 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2426 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2427 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2429 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2430 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2431 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2432 - added test for this (t0m)
2434 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2435 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2436 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2438 - added test for this (t0m)
2441 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2442 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2443 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2446 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2447 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2449 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2451 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2452 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2454 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2455 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2456 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2458 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2459 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2462 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2463 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2464 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2465 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2469 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2470 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2471 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2474 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2475 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2476 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2477 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2480 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2484 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2485 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2486 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2488 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2490 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2491 created so that the process can be more easily
2492 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2494 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2495 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2496 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2497 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2500 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2503 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2504 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2506 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2507 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2508 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2510 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2511 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2512 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2514 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2515 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2517 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2518 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2521 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2522 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2526 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2527 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2529 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2530 ... this is not my day today ...
2532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2533 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2534 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2535 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2536 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2539 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2540 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2541 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2542 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2543 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2546 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2548 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2549 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2550 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2551 this is not ever something you want to do
2552 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2553 - added tests for this (stevan)
2556 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2558 - added test for this
2560 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2561 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2562 - added tests for this (wreis)
2564 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2565 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2566 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2567 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2569 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2570 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2571 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2574 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2576 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2578 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2581 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2582 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2583 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2584 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2585 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2586 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2587 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2588 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2589 - added tests for this
2591 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2592 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2593 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2594 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2596 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2598 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2599 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2600 - added tests for this (sartak)
2601 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2602 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2605 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2607 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2608 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2611 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2612 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2613 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2615 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2617 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2618 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2621 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2622 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2623 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2625 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2626 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2627 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2629 - added docs for this (TODO).
2630 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2631 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2632 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2633 - fix builder and default both being used
2638 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2640 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2641 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2642 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2646 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2650 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2651 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2652 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2654 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2655 - move the ClassName type check code to
2656 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2658 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2659 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2661 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2662 (early morning release engineering)--
2664 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2665 which was causing the indexer to choke
2667 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2668 (late night release engineering)--
2670 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2671 changes in this release
2673 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2674 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2675 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2677 * Moose::Meta::Class
2678 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2679 since it is called so often by &meta
2681 * Moose::Meta::Class
2683 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2684 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2687 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2688 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2689 method for immutablization to check if the
2690 destructor object even needs to be created
2693 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2694 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2695 - added more descriptive error message to help
2696 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2697 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2699 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2701 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2702 XS based functionality is now optional
2703 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2704 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2705 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2707 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2708 to take care of this, mostly we added
2709 support for the package_name and name
2710 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2711 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2712 support regexp matching of names
2713 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2714 - tests added for this
2715 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2716 is currently not supported in roles,
2717 but, ... patches welcome
2718 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2719 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2720 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2723 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2724 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2725 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2726 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2727 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2728 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2729 - added test for this
2731 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2732 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2733 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2736 * Moose::Meta::Class
2737 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2741 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2743 - added tests for this
2744 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2745 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2748 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2749 themselves parameterizable types
2751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2752 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2753 called by the inlined immutable
2755 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2757 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2758 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2759 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2760 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2762 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2763 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2767 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2768 causing occasional cpantester failures
2769 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2770 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2772 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2774 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2775 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2778 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2779 ->body when looping through the
2780 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2782 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2783 eating the $@ values, and so not
2784 working correctly, it still kind of
2785 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2786 - added tests for this

2926 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2928 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3278 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3281 * Parameterized Types
3282 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3283 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3284 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3285 They can also be nested:
3286 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3287 And work with the type unions as well:
3288 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3290 * Better Framework Extendability
3291 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3292 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3293 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3294 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3297 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3298 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3299 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3300 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3462 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3463 - added tests and docs for this
3464 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3465 default for where be { 1 }
3466 - added test for this
3468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3469 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3470 merlyn for finding this bug
3471 - tests added for this
3472 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3475 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3476 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3477 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3478 - added tests for this
3480 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3482 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3483 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
3484 - altered unimport tests to handle this
3487 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
3489 * Moose::Meta::Class

3494 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3495 where not handled correctly in roles
3496 - added tests for this
3498 * Moose::Meta::Class
3499 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3500 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3501 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3503 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3504 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3506 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3507 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3508 so this release is just to fix that.
3511 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3512 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3513 (thanks to konobi for this)
3514 - added tests and docs
3516 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3517 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3520 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3521 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3522 - added tests for this
3523 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3524 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3525 functions to facilitate introspection.
3527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3528 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3529 to build the list of delegated methods
3530 correctly (and not override important
3531 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3533 - added tests and docs for this
3534 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3535 so that you can actually document your
3536 attributes and inspect them through the
3538 - added tests and docs for this
3540 * Moose::Meta::Class
3541 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3542 it will first look in for the class in the
3543 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3544 then default to just loading $name.
3545 - added tests and docs for this
3547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3548 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3549 - added test for this
3552 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3553 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3554 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3555 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3557 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3558 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3561 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3563 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3564 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3565 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3568 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3569 !! for this developer release to work !!
3571 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3572 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3573 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3574 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3575 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3576 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3577 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3578 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3579 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3580 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3581 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3583 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3584 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3585 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3586 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3589 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3590 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3591 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3592 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3593 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3595 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3597 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3598 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3601 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3602 called unless they actually need to be.
3603 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3604 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3605 DEMOLISH method present.
3607 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3608 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3609 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3610 type constraint, which allows for a
3611 hand optimized version of the type
3612 constraint to be used when possible.
3613 - Any internally created type constraints
3614 now provide an optimized version as well.
3616 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3618 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3619 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3620 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3623 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3624 your class namespace of these exported
3627 * Moose::Meta::Class
3628 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3629 comes up during global destruction
3631 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3635 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3638 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3639 - changed how we do type checks so that
3640 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3643 - moved accessor generation methods to
3644 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3645 conform to the API changes from
3648 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3649 - changed how constraints are compiled
3650 so that we do less recursion and more
3651 iteration. This makes the type check
3653 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3656 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3657 - created this from methods formerly found in
3658 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3660 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3661 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3664 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3666 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3667 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3669 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3671 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3672 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3673 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3674 - added tests for this
3675 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3676 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3677 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3678 - removed tests for this
3680 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3682 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3683 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3684 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3687 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3688 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3689 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3691 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3692 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3693 comments for more info.
3696 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3697 asked questions and common problems
3699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3700 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3701 - added tests for this
3703 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3704 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3705 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3706 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3708 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3709 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3712 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3713 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3714 is much appreciated :)
3715 - added tests for this
3717 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3718 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3719 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3722 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3723 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3725 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3727 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3728 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3732 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3733 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3734 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3736 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3738 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3741 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3742 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3743 keywords because we need to localize them.
3744 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3746 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3747 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3748 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3751 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3755 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3756 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3759 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3760 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3761 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3763 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3765 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3766 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3767 bottom of your class file.
3770 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3773 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3775 - improved error message when loading modules so
3776 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3777 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3778 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3781 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3782 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3783 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3785 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3786 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3788 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3789 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3790 turn them on for you.
3791 - added tests for this
3792 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3793 in Moose::Meta::Class

3820 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3821 - This release works in combination with
3822 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3823 release because it uses the a new
3824 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3825 complete Role implementation. It has
3826 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3827 the the previous CPAN version. This
3828 release also lacks good updated docs,
3829 the official release will have updated docs.
3832 - refactored the keyword exports
3833 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3834 accepts more than one Role at a time

3836 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3839 - refactored the keyword exports
3840 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3841 accepts more than one Role at a time
3843 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3845 string enumerations which can be used as
3847 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3850 - more careful checking of params to new()
3853 - much work done on the role composition
3854 - many new tests for conflict detection
3855 and composition edge cases
3856 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3857 looking at the tests
3859 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3860 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3861 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3863 * Moose::Meta::Class

3866 - some small additions to support Roles
3868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3869 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3871 - some small changes to support the new
3873 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3874 with the 'handles' option
3875 - added several tests for this
3876 - no docs for this yet

3880 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3881 thanks to chansen for this commit
3882 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3883 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3884 on a per-attribute basis
3885 - added tests for this
3886 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3887 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3888 experimental feature and probably not finished
