1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
9 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
13 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
14 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
16 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
18 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
22 * Various packaging issues.
24 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
28 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
29 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
34 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
35 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
36 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
40 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
41 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
42 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
44 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
48 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
50 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
54 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
55 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
57 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
61 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
63 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
67 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
69 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
70 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
72 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
76 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
77 skips every other role. (rjbs)
79 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
80 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
81 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
82 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
83 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
85 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
89 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
90 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
91 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
94 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
99 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
101 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
102 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
104 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
108 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
109 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
110 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
114 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
115 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
117 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
118 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
120 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
121 environments. (doy, mateu)
123 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
127 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
128 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
129 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
130 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
134 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
135 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
137 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
141 * Update conflicts list.
144 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
148 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
149 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
150 details. (Dave Rolsky)
152 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
153 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
154 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
155 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
156 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
160 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
161 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
162 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
163 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
164 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
167 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
171 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
172 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
174 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
177 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
181 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
182 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
183 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
184 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
186 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
187 immutable classes). (mo)
189 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
190 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
191 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
193 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
197 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
199 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
201 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
205 * Fix some indexing issues.
207 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
209 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
213 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
214 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
215 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
216 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
217 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
219 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
220 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
225 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
226 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
227 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
228 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
230 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
231 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
232 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
236 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
237 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
240 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
244 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
245 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
249 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
253 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
254 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
255 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
256 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
259 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
263 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
266 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
270 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
271 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
272 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
275 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
279 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
280 policy. (Chris Prather)
282 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
283 on this new support policy. (doy)
287 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
288 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
289 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
291 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
292 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
294 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
298 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
299 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
300 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
301 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
304 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
308 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
309 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
312 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
316 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
317 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
319 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
320 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
324 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
325 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
326 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
327 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
328 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
329 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
331 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
332 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
334 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
335 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
336 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
337 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
339 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
340 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
342 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
347 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
348 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
350 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
354 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
355 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
356 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
358 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
362 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
363 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
364 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
366 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
367 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
370 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
371 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
374 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
375 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
376 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
378 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
379 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
384 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
385 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
386 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
387 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
389 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
390 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
392 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
393 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
395 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
396 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
397 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
398 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
400 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
401 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
402 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
405 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
406 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
407 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
408 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
410 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
411 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
414 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
415 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
416 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
418 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
422 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
423 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
424 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
426 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
427 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
428 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
431 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
432 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
433 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
435 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
436 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
437 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
439 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
440 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
444 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
445 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
446 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
448 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
449 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
450 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
451 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
453 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
457 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
458 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
459 value is a reference.
461 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
462 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
464 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
468 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
469 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
470 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
472 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
476 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
477 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
481 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
482 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
483 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
485 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
486 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
487 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
489 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
493 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
495 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
499 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
501 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
502 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
507 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
508 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
510 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
511 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
512 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
513 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
514 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
516 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
517 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
518 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
519 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
521 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
525 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
526 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
531 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
533 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
535 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
540 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
542 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
546 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
547 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
548 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
550 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
551 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
552 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
553 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
555 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
556 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
557 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
558 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
559 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
562 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
567 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
568 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
569 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
570 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
571 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
574 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
578 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
581 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
582 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
586 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
587 function (not just method). (doy)
591 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
592 and aren't easily installable/testable.
594 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
598 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
599 to be overridden more easily (doy).
601 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
605 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
606 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
608 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
612 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
613 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
614 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
616 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
620 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
621 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
622 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
624 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
625 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
629 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
630 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
632 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
633 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
637 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
638 is applied to a class (t0m).
640 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
641 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
643 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
646 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
647 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
649 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
650 be much more robust. (doy)
652 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
654 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
657 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
661 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
662 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
664 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
668 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
669 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
671 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
674 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
675 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
676 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
678 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
679 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
680 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
683 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
685 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
689 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
690 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
694 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
696 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
700 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
701 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
705 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
706 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
710 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
712 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
716 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
717 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
721 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
722 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
726 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
727 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
729 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
733 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
734 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
735 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
738 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
742 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
743 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
744 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
745 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
747 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
751 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
752 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
753 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
757 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
760 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
764 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
765 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
766 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
770 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
771 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
773 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
774 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
775 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
776 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
778 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
782 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
786 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
787 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
789 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
790 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
791 - Moose::Util::does_role
792 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
793 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
794 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
796 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
800 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
801 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
802 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
805 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
809 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
810 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
813 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
817 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
818 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
821 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
825 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
827 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
828 class. (Dave Rolsky).
830 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
831 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
832 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
834 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
835 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
836 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
839 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
840 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
842 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
843 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
844 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
846 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
848 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
849 substr et al, again. (sorear)
851 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
853 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
856 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
857 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
859 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
860 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
862 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
863 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
864 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
865 dependencies installed.
867 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
868 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
871 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
873 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
877 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
879 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
880 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
881 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
884 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
885 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
887 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
888 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
891 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
892 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
893 others. (nothingmuch)
895 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
896 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
897 remove_accessors. (doy)
899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
900 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
901 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
904 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
906 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
907 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
908 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
909 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
912 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
913 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
916 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
918 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
920 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
921 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
924 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
925 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
926 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
927 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
928 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
930 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
933 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
934 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
935 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
936 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
939 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
940 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
941 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
942 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
943 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
945 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
946 which were not receiving the value of
947 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
948 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
949 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
950 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
954 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
955 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
956 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
957 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
958 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
961 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
962 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
963 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
964 - added tests for this (Stevan)
967 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
968 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
969 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
972 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
973 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
974 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
976 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
977 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
978 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
981 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
982 class if you pass it options for
983 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
984 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
985 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
986 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
987 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
988 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
989 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
990 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
991 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
993 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
994 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
995 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
996 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
997 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1000 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1001 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1002 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1003 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1006 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1007 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1008 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1009 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1010 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1013 * Moose::Error::Croak
1014 * Moose::Error::Confess
1015 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1016 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1019 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1022 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1023 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1024 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1026 * Moose::Meta::Class
1027 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1030 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1031 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1032 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1034 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1035 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1036 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1037 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1038 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1041 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1044 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1046 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1047 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1050 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1051 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1054 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1055 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1056 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1059 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1060 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1061 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1062 using it for new code!
1064 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1065 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1066 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1067 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1069 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1070 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1071 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1072 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1073 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1074 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1075 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1076 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1079 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1082 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1083 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1086 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1087 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1089 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1090 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1091 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1093 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1094 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1095 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1096 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1098 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1099 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1100 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1103 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1104 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1107 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1108 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1109 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1110 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1111 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1112 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1114 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1116 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1119 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1120 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1121 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1123 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1124 associated_methods. (hdp)
1125 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1126 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1127 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1128 misspelled) arguments
1130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1131 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1132 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1133 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1135 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1136 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1137 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1139 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1143 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1144 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1147 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1148 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1150 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1151 * Moose::Meta::Class
1152 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1153 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1155 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1156 * Moose::Manual::Types
1157 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1158 string parsing rathole (mst)
1160 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1161 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1162 using plain objects instead
1164 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1165 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1166 that's what we need.
1168 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1169 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1170 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1171 three times today (perigrin)
1172 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1173 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1175 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1176 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1177 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1178 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1181 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1182 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1183 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1184 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1185 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1186 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1189 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1190 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1191 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1192 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1195 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1197 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1200 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1202 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1205 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1206 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1207 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1211 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1212 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1215 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1216 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1218 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1219 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1220 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1222 * Moose::Unsweetened
1223 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1225 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1226 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1229 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1233 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1234 methods during global destruction (doy)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Class
1237 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1238 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1239 consumption (Sartak)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Class
1242 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1243 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1246 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1247 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1250 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1251 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1253 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1255 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1259 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1260 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1261 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1264 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1265 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1266 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1269 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1271 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1273 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1276 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1277 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1278 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1279 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1281 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1282 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1283 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1286 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1289 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1290 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1291 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1295 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1296 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Class
1299 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1301 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1303 * Moose::Meta::Class
1304 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1305 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1308 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1309 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1312 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1313 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1316 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1319 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1322 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1325 * Moose::Meta::Class
1326 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1328 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1329 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1332 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1333 * More deprecations and renamings
1334 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1335 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1336 when an object is constructed)
1339 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1340 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1341 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1344 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1345 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1346 feature, and it works again.
1349 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1351 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1353 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1354 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1355 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1358 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1359 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1360 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1361 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1363 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1364 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1365 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1366 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1367 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1370 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1371 metaclass object. (hdp)
1373 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1374 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1375 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1376 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1377 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1378 point out this fact. (hdp)
1380 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1381 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1383 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1384 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1386 * Moose::Meta::Class
1387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1388 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1389 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1390 called during instance construction were passed the
1391 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1392 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1394 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1395 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1398 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1399 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1400 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1403 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1404 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1405 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1406 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1407 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1409 - Moose::Meta::Class
1410 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1412 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1413 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1414 when an object is constructed)
1415 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1417 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1418 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1419 when an object is constructed)
1420 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1421 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1422 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1425 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1427 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1428 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1430 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1432 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1433 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1434 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1436 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1437 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1438 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1440 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1442 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1443 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1445 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1446 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1449 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1450 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1453 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1454 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1455 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1457 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1458 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1462 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1463 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1464 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1467 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1470 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1471 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1472 with recommended workarounds.
1474 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1475 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1478 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1479 (yes, spelled like that).
1481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1482 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1484 * Moose::Meta::Class
1485 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1486 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1488 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1491 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1492 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1493 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1494 instead. Reported by doy.
1496 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1498 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1499 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1502 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1503 message) is now deprecated.
1504 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1505 often got it wrong. For example:
1507 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1509 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1513 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1514 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1515 bite you in weird cases.
1517 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1518 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1519 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1520 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1522 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1523 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1527 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1530 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1531 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1534 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1535 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1537 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1538 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1541 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1542 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1543 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1544 - added tests for this (stevan)
1546 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1547 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1548 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1549 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1553 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1554 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1555 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1556 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1558 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1559 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1560 - added tests for this (rafl)
1562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1563 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1564 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1565 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1569 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1570 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1573 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1574 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1575 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1577 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1579 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1580 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1582 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1583 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1584 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1585 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1586 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1589 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1590 error message did not specify the attribute name
1593 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1595 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1597 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1598 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1599 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1602 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1605 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1607 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1608 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1609 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1610 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1612 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1614 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1615 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1616 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1617 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1619 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1620 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1621 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1623 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1624 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1625 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1626 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1627 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1629 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1630 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1631 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1632 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1633 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1636 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1637 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1638 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1639 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1640 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1642 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1643 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1644 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1645 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1646 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1647 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1649 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1650 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1652 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1653 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1654 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1655 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1658 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1661 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1665 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1666 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1668 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1669 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1670 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1671 guts. (nothingmuch).
1673 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1675 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1677 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1678 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1679 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1680 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1682 * Moose::Meta::Class
1683 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1686 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1687 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1689 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1690 * Moose::Unsweetened
1691 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1694 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1695 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1696 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1697 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1698 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1699 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1701 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1702 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1703 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1704 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1705 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1706 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1707 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1709 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1710 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1712 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1714 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1715 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1718 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1719 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1720 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1722 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1723 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1724 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1725 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1726 same methods for a single role did not work
1727 right (worked just fine with multiple
1729 - added test for this (stevan)
1731 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1732 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1733 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1736 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1737 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1738 - added test for this (t0m)
1741 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1742 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1743 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1746 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1747 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1748 - added test for this (t0m)
1750 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1751 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1752 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1753 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1754 - added test for this (perigrin)
1757 - create method for constructing a role
1758 dynamically (Sartak)
1759 - added test for this (Sartak)
1760 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1761 - added test for this (Sartak)
1764 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1766 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1767 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1768 methods is useful (Sartak)
1770 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1772 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1775 * Moose::Meta::Class
1776 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1777 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1778 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1779 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1780 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1781 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1784 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1785 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1787 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1788 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1789 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1790 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1791 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1793 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1795 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1796 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1800 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1801 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1802 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1803 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1804 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1805 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1808 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1809 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1810 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1811 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1812 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1813 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1814 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1815 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1816 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1817 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1818 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1821 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1824 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1825 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1826 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1827 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1828 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1830 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1832 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1833 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1834 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1837 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1840 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1841 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1842 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1846 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1848 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1850 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1851 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1853 * Moose::Meta::Class
1854 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1855 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1856 a required attribute
1858 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1859 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1860 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1861 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1863 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1864 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1866 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1867 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1868 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1869 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1870 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1871 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1872 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1873 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1876 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1877 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1879 * Roles and role application
1880 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1881 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1882 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1883 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1884 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1886 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1887 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1890 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1891 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1892 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1893 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1894 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1897 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1898 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1899 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1900 changes in the Moose internals.
1902 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1904 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1908 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1909 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1910 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1912 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1913 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1914 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1915 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1918 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1919 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1920 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1921 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1922 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1923 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1924 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1925 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1926 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1927 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1928 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1929 constraint implementations.
1931 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1935 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1936 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1937 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1938 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1939 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1940 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1941 - added tests for this (rafl)
1943 * Moose::Meta::Class
1944 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1945 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1946 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1947 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1948 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1949 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1950 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1951 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1954 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1955 - added tests for this (thepler)
1957 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1958 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1959 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1960 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1963 * Moose::Meta::Class
1964 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1965 * Moose::Meta::Method
1968 * Moose::Error::Default
1969 * Moose::Error::Croak
1970 * Moose::Error::Confess
1971 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1972 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1973 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1974 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1975 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1976 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1978 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1980 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1981 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1983 * Moose::Unsweetened
1984 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1985 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1986 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1989 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1990 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1991 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1992 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1995 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1996 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1998 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1999 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2000 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2001 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2004 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2006 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2007 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2009 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2012 - Various bug fixes.
2014 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2015 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2017 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2019 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2020 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2021 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2022 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2023 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2024 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2026 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2027 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2028 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2030 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2031 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2032 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2035 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2036 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2037 dependency to 0.64_07.
2039 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2040 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2041 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2043 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2044 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2047 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2048 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2049 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2050 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2051 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2052 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2054 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2055 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2057 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2059 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2060 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2064 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2065 method when that method was provided by another role being
2066 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)

2076 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2077 - added test for this (t0m)
2079 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2080 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2081 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2083 - added test for this (t0m)
2086 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"

2092 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2094 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2175 ... this is not my day today ...
2177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2178 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2179 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2180 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2181 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2184 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2185 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2186 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2187 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2188 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2191 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2193 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2194 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2227 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2228 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2229 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2230 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2231 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2232 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2233 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2234 - added tests for this
2236 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2237 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2238 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2239 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2347 XS based functionality is now optional
2348 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2349 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2350 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2758 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2759 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2760 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2761 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2764 - type constraint handling
2765 - error handling/messages
2766 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2768 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2769 - added this module to support the refactor
2770 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2772 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2773 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2774 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2778 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2780 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2781 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2782 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2784 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2785 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

2797 HashRef for containers (sartak)
2798 - added tests for this
2800 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2802 so you can now add coercions to parameterized
2803 types without having to explictly define them
2804 - added tests for this
2806 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2807 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2808 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2810 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2811 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2812 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2813 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2814 - added tests for this
2815 - you can now define multiple coercions on
2816 a single type at different times instead of
2817 having to do it all in one place
2818 - added tests for this
2820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2821 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2822 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2825 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2826 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2827 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2828 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2830 more type coercions for Union types)
2832 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2834 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2836 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2837 - added tests for this.
2838 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2839 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2840 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2841 - added tests for this
2842 - added docs for this
2844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2845 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2846 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2847 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2848 instead it will just return undef.
2849 - added docs for this
2851 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2863 with work correctly.
2864 - added tests for this
2867 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2868 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2871 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2872 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2873 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2875 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2907 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2910 - fixed how required methods are handled
2911 when they encounter overriden or modified
2912 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2913 - added tests for this
2915 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2916 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2917 the | always creates a union and so is
2918 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2919 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2921 - added more tests for this
2923 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2926 * Parameterized Types
2927 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2928 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2929 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2930 They can also be nested:
2931 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2932 And work with the type unions as well:
2933 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2935 * Better Framework Extendability
2936 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2937 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2938 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2939 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2942 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2943 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2944 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2945 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2948 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2950 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2951 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2954 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2982 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2984 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2985 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2986 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2987 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2989 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2990 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2991 - updated the accompanying test as well
2993 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2994 +++ with new features added as well +++
2996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2997 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
2998 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of

3000 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
3002 - added tests for this
3004 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3010 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3011 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3013 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3014 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3015 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3016 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3030 (thanks to shlomif).
3032 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3033 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3034 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3035 - added tests for this

3038 - added tests for this
3040 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3041 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3042 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor

3083 (but not changing the handles option)
3084 - added tests and docs for this
3087 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3088 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3089 - adjusted tests for this
3091 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3092 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3093 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3099 the other side (perigrin)
3101 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3103 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3104 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3105 prototypes for functions
3106 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3107 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3117 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3120 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3121 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3122 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3123 - added tests for this
3125 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3127 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3143 * Moose::Meta::Class
3144 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3145 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3146 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3148 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3149 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3151 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3152 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3153 so this release is just to fix that.
3156 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3157 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3158 (thanks to konobi for this)
3159 - added tests and docs
3161 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3162 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3165 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3166 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3167 - added tests for this

3169 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3170 functions to facilitate introspection.
3172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3173 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3174 to build the list of delegated methods
3175 correctly (and not override important
3176 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3178 - added tests and docs for this
3179 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3180 so that you can actually document your
3181 attributes and inspect them through the
3183 - added tests and docs for this
3185 * Moose::Meta::Class
3186 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3187 it will first look in for the class in the
3188 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3189 then default to just loading $name.
3190 - added tests and docs for this
3192 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3193 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3194 - added test for this
3197 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3198 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3199 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3200 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3202 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3203 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3206 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3208 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3209 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3210 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3213 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3214 !! for this developer release to work !!
3216 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3217 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3218 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3219 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3220 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3221 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3222 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3223 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3224 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3225 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3226 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3228 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3229 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3230 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3231 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3234 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3235 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3236 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3237 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3238 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3240 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3242 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3243 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3246 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3247 called unless they actually need to be.
3248 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3249 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3250 DEMOLISH method present.
3252 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3253 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3254 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3255 type constraint, which allows for a
3256 hand optimized version of the type
3257 constraint to be used when possible.
3258 - Any internally created type constraints
3259 now provide an optimized version as well.
3261 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3263 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3264 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3265 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3268 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3269 your class namespace of these exported
3272 * Moose::Meta::Class
3273 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3274 comes up during global destruction
3276 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3280 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3284 - changed how we do type checks so that
3285 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3288 - moved accessor generation methods to
3289 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3290 conform to the API changes from
3293 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3294 - changed how constraints are compiled
3295 so that we do less recursion and more
3296 iteration. This makes the type check
3298 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3302 - created this from methods formerly found in
3303 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3305 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3306 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3309 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3311 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3312 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3314 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3317 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3318 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3319 - added tests for this
3320 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3321 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3322 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3323 - removed tests for this
3325 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3327 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3328 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3329 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3332 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3333 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3334 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3336 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3337 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3338 comments for more info.
3341 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3342 asked questions and common problems
3344 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3345 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3346 - added tests for this
3348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3349 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3350 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3351 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3353 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3354 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3357 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3358 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3359 is much appreciated :)
3360 - added tests for this
3362 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3363 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3364 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3367 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3368 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3370 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3372 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3373 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3377 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3378 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3379 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3381 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3383 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3386 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3387 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3388 keywords because we need to localize them.
3389 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3391 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3392 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3393 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3396 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3400 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3401 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3404 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3405 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3406 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3408 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3410 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3411 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3412 bottom of your class file.
3415 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3418 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3420 - improved error message when loading modules so
3421 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3422 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3423 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3426 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3427 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3428 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3430 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3431 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3433 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3434 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3435 turn them on for you.
3436 - added tests for this
3437 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3438 in Moose::Meta::Class
3441 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3442 automatically turned on for you.
3443 - added tests for this
3446 - now handles an edge case for override errors

3465 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3466 - This release works in combination with
3467 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3468 release because it uses the a new
3469 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3470 complete Role implementation. It has
3471 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3472 the the previous CPAN version. This
3473 release also lacks good updated docs,
3474 the official release will have updated docs.
3477 - refactored the keyword exports
3478 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3479 accepts more than one Role at a time
3480 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3481 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3484 - refactored the keyword exports
3485 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3486 accepts more than one Role at a time
3488 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3489 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3490 string enumerations which can be used as
3492 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3495 - more careful checking of params to new()
3498 - much work done on the role composition
3499 - many new tests for conflict detection
3500 and composition edge cases
3501 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3502 looking at the tests
3504 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3505 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3506 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3508 * Moose::Meta::Class
3509 - some small changes to support the new
3511 - some small additions to support Roles
3513 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3514 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3516 - some small changes to support the new
3518 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3519 with the 'handles' option
3520 - added several tests for this
3521 - no docs for this yet

3525 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3526 thanks to chansen for this commit
3527 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3528 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3529 on a per-attribute basis
3530 - added tests for this
3531 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3532 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3533 experimental feature and probably not finished
3534 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3535 more details, or ask about it on #moose
