1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
10 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
14 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
15 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
16 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
19 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
21 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
25 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
27 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
31 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
32 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
36 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
37 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
38 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
39 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
40 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
45 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
46 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
47 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
48 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
50 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
51 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
52 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
54 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
55 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
56 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
57 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
59 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
60 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
61 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
62 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
64 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
65 package which was deleted. (doy)
67 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
71 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
73 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
77 * Minor documentation fixes.
79 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
82 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
86 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
87 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
89 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
93 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
95 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
99 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
101 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
104 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
108 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
110 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
111 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
116 more values were required. (rjbs)
118 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
122 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
123 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
127 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
128 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
129 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
130 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
132 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
133 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
134 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
136 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
137 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
140 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
141 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
142 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
143 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
147 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
148 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
149 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
150 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
153 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
157 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
158 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
159 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
161 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
162 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
163 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
165 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
166 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
167 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
169 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
170 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
173 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
174 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
175 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
177 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
178 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
181 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
182 the associated stash. (doy)
186 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
187 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
188 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
189 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
191 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
195 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
196 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
197 the attribute's reference.
201 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
202 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
207 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
208 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
209 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
212 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
213 the Object constraint).
215 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
219 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
220 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
225 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
227 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
231 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
234 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
236 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
240 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
242 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
246 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
249 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
250 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
251 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
253 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
256 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
260 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
262 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
266 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
268 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
272 * Include changes from 2.0010.
274 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
278 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
279 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
283 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
284 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
285 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
290 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
292 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
296 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
297 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
299 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
303 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
305 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
309 * Various packaging issues.
311 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
315 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
316 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
321 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
322 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
323 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
327 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
328 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
329 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
331 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
335 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
336 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
338 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
342 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
343 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
345 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
348 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
349 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
353 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
354 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
356 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
360 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
361 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
365 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
367 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
371 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
373 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
377 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
378 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
380 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
384 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
386 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
390 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
392 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
393 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
395 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
399 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
400 skips every other role. (rjbs)
402 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
403 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
404 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
405 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
406 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
408 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
412 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
413 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
414 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
417 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
422 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
424 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
425 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
427 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
431 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
432 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
433 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
437 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
438 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
440 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
441 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
443 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
444 environments. (doy, mateu)
446 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
450 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
451 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
452 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
453 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
457 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
458 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
460 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
464 * Update conflicts list.
467 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
471 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
472 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
473 details. (Dave Rolsky)
475 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
476 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
477 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
478 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
479 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
483 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
484 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
485 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
486 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
487 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
490 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
494 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
495 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
497 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
500 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
504 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
505 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
506 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
507 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
509 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
510 immutable classes). (mo)
512 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
513 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
514 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
516 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
520 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
522 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
524 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
528 * Fix some indexing issues.
530 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
532 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
536 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
537 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
538 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
539 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
540 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
542 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
543 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
548 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
549 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
550 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
551 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
553 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
554 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
555 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
559 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
560 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
563 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
567 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
568 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
572 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
576 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
577 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
578 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
579 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
582 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
586 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
589 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
593 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
594 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
595 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
598 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
602 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
603 policy. (Chris Prather)
605 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
606 on this new support policy. (doy)
610 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
611 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
612 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
614 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
615 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
617 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
621 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
622 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
623 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
624 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
627 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
631 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
632 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
635 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
639 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
640 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
642 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
643 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
647 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
648 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
649 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
650 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
651 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
652 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
654 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
655 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
657 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
658 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
659 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
660 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
662 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
663 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
665 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
670 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
671 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
673 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
677 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
678 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
679 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
681 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
685 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
686 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
687 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
689 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
690 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
693 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
694 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
697 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
698 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
699 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
701 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
702 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
707 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
708 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
709 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
710 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
712 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
713 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
715 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
716 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
718 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
719 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
720 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
721 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
723 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
724 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
725 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
728 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
729 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
730 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
731 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
733 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
734 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
737 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
738 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
739 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
741 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
745 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
746 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
747 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
749 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
750 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
751 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
754 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
755 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
756 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
758 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
759 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
760 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
762 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
763 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
767 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
768 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
769 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
771 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
772 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
773 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
774 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
776 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
780 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
781 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
782 value is a reference.
784 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
785 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
787 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
791 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
792 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
793 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
795 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
799 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
800 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
804 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
805 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
806 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
808 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
809 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
810 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
812 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
816 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
818 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
822 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
824 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
825 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
830 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
831 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
833 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
834 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
835 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
836 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
837 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
839 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
840 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
841 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
842 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
844 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
848 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
849 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
854 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
856 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
858 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
863 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
865 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
869 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
870 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
871 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
873 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
874 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
875 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
876 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
878 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
879 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
880 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
881 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
882 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
885 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
890 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
891 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
892 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
893 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
894 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
897 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
901 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
904 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
905 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
909 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
910 function (not just method). (doy)
914 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
915 and aren't easily installable/testable.
917 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
921 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
922 to be overridden more easily (doy).
924 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
928 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
929 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
931 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
935 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
936 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
937 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
939 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
943 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
944 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
945 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
947 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
948 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
952 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
953 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
955 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
956 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
960 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
961 is applied to a class (t0m).
963 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
964 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
966 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
969 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
970 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
972 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
973 be much more robust. (doy)
975 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
977 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
980 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
984 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
985 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
987 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
991 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
992 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
994 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
997 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
998 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
999 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1001 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1002 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1003 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1006 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1008 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1012 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1013 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1017 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1019 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1023 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1024 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1028 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1029 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1033 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1035 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1039 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1040 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1044 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1045 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1049 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1050 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1052 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1056 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1057 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1058 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1061 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1065 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1066 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1067 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1068 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1070 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1074 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1075 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1076 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1080 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1081 (Michael G. Schwern)
1083 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1087 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1088 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1089 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1093 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1094 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1096 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1097 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1098 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1099 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1101 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1105 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1109 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1110 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1112 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1113 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1114 - Moose::Util::does_role
1115 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1116 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1117 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1119 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1123 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1124 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1125 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1128 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1132 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1133 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1136 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1140 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1141 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1144 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1148 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1150 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1151 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1153 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1154 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1155 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1157 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1158 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1159 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1162 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1163 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1165 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1166 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1167 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1169 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1171 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1172 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1174 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1176 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1179 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1180 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1182 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1183 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1185 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1186 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1187 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1188 dependencies installed.
1190 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1191 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1194 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1196 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1200 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1203 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1204 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1207 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1208 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1210 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1211 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1214 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1215 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1216 others. (nothingmuch)
1218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1219 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1220 remove_accessors. (doy)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1223 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1224 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1227 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1229 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1231 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1232 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Class
1235 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1236 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1239 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1241 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1243 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1244 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1247 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1248 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1249 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1250 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1251 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1253 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1256 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1257 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1258 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1259 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1262 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1263 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1264 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1265 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1266 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1268 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1269 which were not receiving the value of
1270 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1271 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1272 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1273 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1277 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1278 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1279 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1280 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1281 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1284 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1285 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1286 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1287 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1289 * Moose::Meta::Class
1290 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1291 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1292 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1295 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1297 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1299 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1300 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1301 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1304 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1305 class if you pass it options for
1306 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1307 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1308 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1309 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1310 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1311 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1312 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1313 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1314 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1316 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1317 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1318 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1319 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1320 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1323 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1324 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1325 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1326 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1329 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1330 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1331 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1332 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1333 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1336 * Moose::Error::Croak
1337 * Moose::Error::Confess
1338 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1339 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1342 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1345 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1346 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1347 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1349 * Moose::Meta::Class
1350 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1353 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1354 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1355 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1357 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1358 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1359 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1360 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1361 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1363 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1364 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1367 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1369 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1370 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1373 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1374 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1377 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1378 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1379 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1381 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1382 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1383 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1384 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1385 using it for new code!
1387 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1388 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1389 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1390 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1392 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1393 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1394 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1395 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1396 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1397 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1398 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1399 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1402 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1405 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1406 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1410 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1413 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1414 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1416 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1417 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1418 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1419 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1421 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1422 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1423 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1426 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1427 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1430 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1432 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1433 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1434 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1435 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1437 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1439 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1442 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1443 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1444 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1446 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1447 associated_methods. (hdp)
1448 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1449 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1450 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1451 misspelled) arguments
1453 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1454 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1455 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1456 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1458 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1459 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1460 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1462 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1466 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1467 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1470 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1471 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1473 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1474 * Moose::Meta::Class
1475 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1476 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1478 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1479 * Moose::Manual::Types
1480 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1481 string parsing rathole (mst)
1483 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1484 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1485 using plain objects instead
1487 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1488 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1489 that's what we need.
1491 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1492 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1493 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1494 three times today (perigrin)
1495 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1496 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1499 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1500 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1501 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1504 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1505 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1506 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1507 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1508 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1509 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1512 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1513 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1514 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1515 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1518 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1520 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1523 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1525 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1528 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1529 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1530 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1534 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1535 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1538 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1539 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1541 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1542 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1543 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1545 * Moose::Unsweetened
1546 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1548 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1549 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1552 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1556 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1557 methods during global destruction (doy)
1559 * Moose::Meta::Class
1560 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1561 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1562 consumption (Sartak)
1564 * Moose::Meta::Class
1565 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1566 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1569 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1570 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1573 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1574 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1576 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1578 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1582 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1583 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1584 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1587 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1588 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1589 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1592 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1594 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1596 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1599 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1600 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1601 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1602 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1604 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1605 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1606 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1609 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1612 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1613 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1614 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1618 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1619 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1621 * Moose::Meta::Class
1622 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1624 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1626 * Moose::Meta::Class
1627 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1628 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1631 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1632 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1635 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1636 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1639 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1642 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1644 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1645 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1648 * Moose::Meta::Class
1649 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1651 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1652 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1655 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1656 * More deprecations and renamings
1657 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1658 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1659 when an object is constructed)
1662 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1663 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1664 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1666 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1667 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1668 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1669 feature, and it works again.
1672 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1674 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1676 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1677 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1678 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1681 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1682 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1683 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1684 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1686 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1687 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1688 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1689 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1690 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1693 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1694 metaclass object. (hdp)
1696 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1697 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1698 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1699 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1700 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1701 point out this fact. (hdp)
1703 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1704 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1706 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1707 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1709 * Moose::Meta::Class
1710 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1711 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1712 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1713 called during instance construction were passed the
1714 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1715 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1717 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1718 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1722 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1723 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1726 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1727 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1728 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1729 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1730 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1732 - Moose::Meta::Class
1733 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1735 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1736 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1737 when an object is constructed)
1738 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1740 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1741 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1742 when an object is constructed)
1743 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1744 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1745 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1748 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1750 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1751 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1753 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1755 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1756 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1757 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1759 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1760 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1761 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1763 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1765 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1766 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1769 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1772 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1773 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1776 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1777 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1778 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1780 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1781 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1785 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1786 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1787 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1789 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1790 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1793 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1794 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1795 with recommended workarounds.
1797 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1798 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1800 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1801 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1802 (yes, spelled like that).
1804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1805 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1807 * Moose::Meta::Class
1808 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1809 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1811 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1814 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1815 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1816 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1817 instead. Reported by doy.
1819 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1821 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1822 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1824 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1825 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1826 message) is now deprecated.
1827 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1828 often got it wrong. For example:
1830 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1832 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1836 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1837 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1838 bite you in weird cases.
1840 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1841 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1842 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1843 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1846 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1850 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1853 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1854 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1857 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1858 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1861 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1864 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1865 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1866 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1867 - added tests for this (stevan)
1869 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1870 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1871 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1872 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1876 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1877 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1878 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1879 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1881 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1882 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1883 - added tests for this (rafl)
1885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1886 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1887 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1888 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1892 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1893 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1897 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1898 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1900 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1902 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1903 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1905 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1906 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1907 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1908 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1909 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1911 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1912 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1913 error message did not specify the attribute name
1916 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1918 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1920 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1921 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1922 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1925 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1928 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1930 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1931 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1932 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1933 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1935 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1937 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1938 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1939 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1940 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1943 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1944 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1946 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1947 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1948 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1949 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1950 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1952 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1953 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1954 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1955 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1956 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1958 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1959 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1960 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1961 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1962 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1963 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1965 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1966 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1967 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1968 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1969 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1970 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1972 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1973 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1975 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1976 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1977 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1978 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1981 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1984 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1988 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1989 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1991 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1992 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1993 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1994 guts. (nothingmuch).
1996 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1997 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1998 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2000 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2001 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2002 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2003 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2005 * Moose::Meta::Class
2006 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2009 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2010 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2012 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2013 * Moose::Unsweetened
2014 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2017 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2018 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2019 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2020 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2021 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2022 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2024 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2025 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2026 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2027 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2028 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2029 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2030 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2031 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2032 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2033 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2035 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2037 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2038 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2041 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2042 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2043 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2045 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2046 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2047 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2048 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2049 same methods for a single role did not work
2050 right (worked just fine with multiple
2052 - added test for this (stevan)
2054 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2055 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2056 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2059 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2060 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2061 - added test for this (t0m)
2064 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2065 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2066 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2069 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2070 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2071 - added test for this (t0m)
2073 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2074 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2075 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2076 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2077 - added test for this (perigrin)
2080 - create method for constructing a role
2081 dynamically (Sartak)
2082 - added test for this (Sartak)
2083 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2084 - added test for this (Sartak)
2087 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2089 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2090 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2091 methods is useful (Sartak)
2093 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2095 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2098 * Moose::Meta::Class
2099 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2100 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2101 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2102 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2103 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2104 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2107 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2108 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2110 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2111 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2112 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2113 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2114 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2116 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2118 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2119 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2120 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2123 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2124 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2125 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2126 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2127 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2128 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2131 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2132 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2133 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2134 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2135 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2136 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2137 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2138 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2139 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2140 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2141 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2143 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2144 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2147 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2148 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2149 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2150 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2151 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2153 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2155 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2156 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2157 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2159 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2160 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2162 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2163 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2164 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2165 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2168 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2169 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2171 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2173 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2174 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2176 * Moose::Meta::Class
2177 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2178 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2179 a required attribute
2181 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2183 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2184 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2186 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2187 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2190 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2191 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2192 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2193 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2194 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2195 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2196 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2198 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2199 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2200 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2202 * Roles and role application
2203 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2204 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2205 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2206 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2207 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2209 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2210 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2213 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2214 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2215 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2216 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2217 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2220 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2221 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2222 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2223 changes in the Moose internals.
2225 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2227 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2230 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2231 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2232 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2233 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2235 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2236 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2237 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2238 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2240 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2241 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2242 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2243 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2244 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2245 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2246 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2247 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2248 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2249 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2250 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2251 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2252 constraint implementations.
2254 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2258 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2259 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2260 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2261 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2262 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2263 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2264 - added tests for this (rafl)
2266 * Moose::Meta::Class
2267 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2268 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2269 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2270 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2271 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2272 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2273 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2274 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2277 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2278 - added tests for this (thepler)
2280 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2281 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2282 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2283 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2286 * Moose::Meta::Class
2287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2288 * Moose::Meta::Method
2291 * Moose::Error::Default
2292 * Moose::Error::Croak
2293 * Moose::Error::Confess
2294 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2295 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2296 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2297 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2298 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2299 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2301 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2303 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2304 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2306 * Moose::Unsweetened
2307 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2308 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2309 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2311 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2312 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2313 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2314 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2315 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2318 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2319 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2321 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2322 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2323 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2324 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2327 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2329 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2330 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2332 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2335 - Various bug fixes.
2337 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2338 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2340 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2342 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2343 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2344 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2345 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2346 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2347 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2349 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2350 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2351 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2353 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2354 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2355 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2358 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2359 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2360 dependency to 0.64_07.
2362 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2363 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2364 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2366 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2367 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2370 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2371 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2372 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2373 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2374 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2375 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2377 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2378 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2380 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2382 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2383 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2387 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2388 method when that method was provided by another role being
2389 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2390 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2392 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2394 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2395 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2398 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2399 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2400 - added test for this (t0m)
2402 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2403 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2404 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2406 - added test for this (t0m)
2409 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2410 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2411 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2414 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2415 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2417 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2419 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2420 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2422 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2423 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2424 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2426 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2427 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2430 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2431 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2432 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2433 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2437 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2438 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2439 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2442 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2443 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2444 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2445 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2448 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2452 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2453 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2454 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2456 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2457 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2458 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2459 created so that the process can be more easily
2460 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2462 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2463 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2464 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2465 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2468 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2471 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2472 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2474 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2475 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2476 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2478 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2479 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2480 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2482 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2483 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2485 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2486 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2489 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2490 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2494 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2495 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2497 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2498 ... this is not my day today ...
2500 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2501 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2502 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2503 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2504 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2507 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2508 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2509 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2510 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2511 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2514 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2516 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2517 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2518 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2519 this is not ever something you want to do
2520 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2521 - added tests for this (stevan)
2524 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2526 - added test for this
2528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2529 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2530 - added tests for this (wreis)
2532 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2533 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2534 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2535 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2537 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2538 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2539 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2542 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2544 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2546 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2549 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2550 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2551 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2552 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2553 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2554 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2555 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2556 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2557 - added tests for this
2559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2560 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2561 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2562 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2564 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2567 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2568 - added tests for this (sartak)
2569 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2570 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2573 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2575 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2576 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)

2579 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2580 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2581 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2583 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2585 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2586 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2594 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2595 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2597 - added docs for this (TODO).
2598 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2599 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2600 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2601 - fix builder and default both being used
2606 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2608 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2609 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2610 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2614 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2618 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2619 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2620 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2623 - move the ClassName type check code to
2624 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2626 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2627 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2629 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2630 (early morning release engineering)--
2632 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2633 which was causing the indexer to choke
2635 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2636 (late night release engineering)--
2638 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2639 changes in this release
2641 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2642 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2643 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2645 * Moose::Meta::Class
2646 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2647 since it is called so often by &meta
2649 * Moose::Meta::Class
2651 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2652 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2656 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2657 method for immutablization to check if the
2658 destructor object even needs to be created
2661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2662 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2663 - added more descriptive error message to help
2664 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2665 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2667 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2669 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2670 XS based functionality is now optional
2671 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2672 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2673 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2675 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2676 to take care of this, mostly we added
2677 support for the package_name and name
2678 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2679 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2680 support regexp matching of names
2681 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2682 - tests added for this
2683 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2684 is currently not supported in roles,
2685 but, ... patches welcome
2686 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2687 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2688 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2691 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2692 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2693 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2694 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2695 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2696 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2697 - added test for this
2699 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2700 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2701 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2704 * Moose::Meta::Class
2705 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2709 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2711 - added tests for this
2712 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2713 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2715 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2716 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2717 themselves parameterizable types
2719 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2720 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2721 called by the inlined immutable
2723 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2725 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2726 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2727 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2728 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2730 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2731 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2735 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2736 causing occasional cpantester failures
2737 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2738 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2740 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2742 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2743 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2746 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2747 ->body when looping through the
2748 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2750 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2751 eating the $@ values, and so not
2752 working correctly, it still kind of
2753 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2754 - added tests for this
2756 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2757 - added new recipe for immutable
2758 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2760 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2761 - added new recipe for builder and
2762 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2764 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2765 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2766 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2769 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2771 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2772 since Module::Install has done that.
2774 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2776 drink more coffee before
2777 doing release engineering
2779 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2780 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2781 modules. This fixes that.
2783 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2784 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2785 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2787 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2788 since we have tests which need the C3

2894 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2896 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3187 - added tests for this
3190 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3191 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3230 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3233 - fixed how required methods are handled
3234 when they encounter overriden or modified
3235 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3236 - added tests for this
3238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3239 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3240 the | always creates a union and so is
3241 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3242 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3244 - added more tests for this
3246 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3249 * Parameterized Types
3250 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3251 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3252 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3253 They can also be nested:
3254 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3255 And work with the type unions as well:
3256 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3258 * Better Framework Extendability
3259 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3260 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3261 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3262 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3265 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3266 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3267 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3268 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3462 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3463 where not handled correctly in roles
3464 - added tests for this
3466 * Moose::Meta::Class
3467 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3468 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3469 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3471 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3472 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3474 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3475 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3476 so this release is just to fix that.
3479 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3480 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3481 (thanks to konobi for this)
3482 - added tests and docs
3484 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3485 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3488 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3489 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3490 - added tests for this
3491 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3492 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3493 functions to facilitate introspection.
3495 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3496 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3497 to build the list of delegated methods
3498 correctly (and not override important
3499 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3501 - added tests and docs for this
3502 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3503 so that you can actually document your
3504 attributes and inspect them through the
3506 - added tests and docs for this
3508 * Moose::Meta::Class
3509 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3510 it will first look in for the class in the
3511 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3512 then default to just loading $name.
3513 - added tests and docs for this
3515 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3516 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3517 - added test for this
3520 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3521 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3522 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3523 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3525 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3526 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3529 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3531 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3532 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3533 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3536 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3537 !! for this developer release to work !!
3539 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3540 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3541 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3542 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3543 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3544 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3545 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3546 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3547 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3548 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3549 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3551 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3552 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3553 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3554 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3557 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3558 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3559 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3560 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3561 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3563 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3565 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3566 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3569 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3570 called unless they actually need to be.
3571 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3572 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3573 DEMOLISH method present.
3575 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3576 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3577 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3578 type constraint, which allows for a
3579 hand optimized version of the type
3580 constraint to be used when possible.
3581 - Any internally created type constraints
3582 now provide an optimized version as well.
3584 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3586 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3587 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3588 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3591 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3592 your class namespace of these exported
3595 * Moose::Meta::Class
3596 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3597 comes up during global destruction
3599 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3603 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3606 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3607 - changed how we do type checks so that
3608 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3611 - moved accessor generation methods to
3612 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3613 conform to the API changes from
3616 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3617 - changed how constraints are compiled
3618 so that we do less recursion and more
3619 iteration. This makes the type check
3621 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3625 - created this from methods formerly found in
3626 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3628 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3629 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3631 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3632 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3635 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3637 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3640 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3641 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3642 - added tests for this
3643 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3644 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3645 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3646 - removed tests for this
3648 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3650 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3651 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3652 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3655 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3656 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3657 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3659 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3660 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3661 comments for more info.
3664 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3665 asked questions and common problems
3667 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3668 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3669 - added tests for this
3671 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3672 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3673 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3674 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3676 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3677 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3680 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3681 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3682 is much appreciated :)
3683 - added tests for this
3685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3686 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3687 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3690 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3691 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3693 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3695 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3696 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3700 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3701 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3702 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3704 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3706 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3709 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3710 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3711 keywords because we need to localize them.
3712 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3714 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3715 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3716 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3719 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3722 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3723 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3724 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3727 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3728 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3729 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3731 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3733 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3734 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3735 bottom of your class file.
3738 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3741 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3743 - improved error message when loading modules so
3744 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3745 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3746 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3749 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3750 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3751 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3753 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3754 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3756 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3757 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3758 turn them on for you.
3759 - added tests for this

3788 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3789 - This release works in combination with
3790 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3791 release because it uses the a new
3792 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3793 complete Role implementation. It has
3794 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3795 the the previous CPAN version. This
3796 release also lacks good updated docs,
3797 the official release will have updated docs.
3800 - refactored the keyword exports
3801 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3802 accepts more than one Role at a time

3808 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3809 accepts more than one Role at a time
3811 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3813 string enumerations which can be used as
3815 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3818 - more careful checking of params to new()
3821 - much work done on the role composition
3822 - many new tests for conflict detection
3823 and composition edge cases
3824 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3825 looking at the tests
3827 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3828 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3829 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3831 * Moose::Meta::Class

3834 - some small additions to support Roles
3836 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3837 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3839 - some small changes to support the new
3841 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3842 with the 'handles' option
3843 - added several tests for this
3844 - no docs for this yet

3848 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3849 thanks to chansen for this commit
3850 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3851 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3852 on a per-attribute basis
3853 - added tests for this
3854 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3855 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
