1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
10 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
11 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
15 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
16 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
17 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
22 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
24 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
28 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
29 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
31 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
35 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
37 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
41 * Various packaging issues.
43 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
47 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
48 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
53 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
54 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
55 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
59 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
60 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
61 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
63 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
67 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
68 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
70 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
73 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
74 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
78 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
79 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
81 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
85 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
86 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
90 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
92 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
96 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
98 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
102 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
103 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
105 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
109 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
111 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
115 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
117 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
118 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
120 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
124 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
125 skips every other role. (rjbs)
127 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
128 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
129 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
130 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
131 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
133 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
137 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
138 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
139 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
142 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
147 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
149 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
150 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
152 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
156 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
157 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
158 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
162 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
163 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
165 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
166 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
168 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
169 environments. (doy, mateu)
171 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
175 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
176 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
177 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
178 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
182 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
183 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
185 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
189 * Update conflicts list.
192 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
196 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
197 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
198 details. (Dave Rolsky)
200 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
201 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
202 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
203 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
204 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
208 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
209 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
210 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
211 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
212 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
215 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
219 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
220 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
222 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
225 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
229 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
230 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
231 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
232 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
234 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
235 immutable classes). (mo)
237 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
238 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
239 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
241 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
245 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
247 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
249 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
253 * Fix some indexing issues.
255 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
257 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
261 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
262 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
263 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
264 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
265 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
267 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
268 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
273 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
274 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
275 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
276 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
278 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
279 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
280 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
284 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
285 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
288 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
292 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
293 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
297 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
301 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
302 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
303 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
304 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
307 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
311 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
314 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
318 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
319 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
320 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
323 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
327 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
328 policy. (Chris Prather)
330 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
331 on this new support policy. (doy)
335 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
336 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
337 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
339 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
340 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
342 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
346 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
347 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
348 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
349 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
352 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
356 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
357 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
360 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
364 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
365 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
367 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
368 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
372 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
373 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
374 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
375 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
376 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
377 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
379 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
380 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
382 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
383 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
384 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
385 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
387 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
388 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
390 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
395 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
396 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
398 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
402 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
403 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
404 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
406 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
410 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
411 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
412 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
414 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
415 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
418 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
419 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
422 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
423 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
424 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
426 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
427 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
432 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
433 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
434 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
435 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
438 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
440 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
441 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
443 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
444 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
445 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
446 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
448 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
449 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
450 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
453 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
454 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
455 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
456 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
458 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
459 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
462 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
463 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
464 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
466 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
470 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
471 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
472 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
474 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
475 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
476 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
479 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
480 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
481 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
483 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
484 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
485 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
487 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
488 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
492 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
493 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
494 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
496 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
497 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
498 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
499 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
501 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
506 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
507 value is a reference.
509 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
510 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
512 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
516 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
517 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
518 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
520 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
524 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
525 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
529 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
530 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
531 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
533 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
534 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
535 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
537 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
541 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
543 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
547 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
549 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
550 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
555 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
556 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
558 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
559 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
560 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
561 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
562 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
564 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
565 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
566 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
567 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
569 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
573 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
574 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
579 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
581 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
583 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
588 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
590 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
594 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
595 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
596 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
598 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
599 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
600 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
601 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
603 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
604 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
605 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
606 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
607 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
610 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
615 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
616 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
617 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
618 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
619 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
622 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
626 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
629 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
630 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
634 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
635 function (not just method). (doy)
639 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
640 and aren't easily installable/testable.
642 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
646 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
647 to be overridden more easily (doy).
649 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
653 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
654 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
656 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
660 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
661 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
662 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
664 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
668 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
669 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
670 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
672 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
673 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
677 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
678 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
680 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
681 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
685 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
686 is applied to a class (t0m).
688 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
689 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
691 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
694 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
695 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
697 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
698 be much more robust. (doy)
700 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
702 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
705 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
709 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
710 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
712 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
716 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
717 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
719 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
722 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
723 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
724 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
726 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
727 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
728 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
731 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
733 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
737 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
738 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
742 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
744 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
749 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
753 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
754 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
758 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
760 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
764 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
765 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
769 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
770 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
774 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
775 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
777 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
781 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
782 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
783 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
786 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
790 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
791 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
792 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
793 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
795 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
799 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
800 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
801 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
805 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
808 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
812 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
813 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
814 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
818 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
819 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
821 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
822 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
823 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
824 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
826 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
830 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
834 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
835 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
837 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
838 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
839 - Moose::Util::does_role
840 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
841 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
842 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
844 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
848 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
849 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
850 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
853 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
857 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
858 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
861 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
865 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
866 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
869 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
873 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
875 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
876 class. (Dave Rolsky).
878 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
879 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
880 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
882 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
883 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
884 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
887 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
888 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
890 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
891 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
892 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
894 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
896 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
897 substr et al, again. (sorear)
899 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
901 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
904 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
905 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
907 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
908 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
910 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
911 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
912 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
913 dependencies installed.
915 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
916 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
919 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
921 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
925 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
927 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
928 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
929 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
931 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
932 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
933 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
935 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
936 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
939 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
940 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
941 others. (nothingmuch)
943 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
944 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
945 remove_accessors. (doy)
947 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
948 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
949 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
952 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
954 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
956 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
957 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
960 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
961 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
963 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
964 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
966 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
968 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
969 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
972 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
973 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
974 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
975 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
976 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
978 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
980 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
981 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
982 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
983 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
984 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
987 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
988 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
989 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
990 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
991 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
993 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
994 which were not receiving the value of
995 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
996 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
997 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
998 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1002 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1003 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1004 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1005 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1006 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1009 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1010 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1011 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1012 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1014 * Moose::Meta::Class
1015 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1016 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1017 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1020 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1021 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1022 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1025 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1026 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1029 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1030 class if you pass it options for
1031 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1032 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1033 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1034 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1035 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1036 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1037 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1038 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1039 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1041 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1042 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1043 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1044 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1045 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1048 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1049 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1050 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1051 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1054 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1055 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1056 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1057 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1058 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1061 * Moose::Error::Croak
1062 * Moose::Error::Confess
1063 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1064 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1067 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1070 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1071 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1072 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1074 * Moose::Meta::Class
1075 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1078 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1079 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1080 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1082 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1083 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1084 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1085 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1086 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1088 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1089 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1092 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1094 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1095 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1098 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1099 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1103 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1104 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1107 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1108 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1109 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1110 using it for new code!
1112 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1113 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1114 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1115 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1117 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1118 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1119 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1120 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1121 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1122 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1123 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1124 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1127 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1130 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1131 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1135 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1137 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1138 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1139 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1141 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1143 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1144 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1146 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1147 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1148 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1150 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1151 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1152 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1155 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1157 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1158 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1159 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1160 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1162 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1164 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1168 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1169 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1171 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1172 associated_methods. (hdp)
1173 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1174 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1175 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1176 misspelled) arguments
1178 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1179 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1180 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1181 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1184 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1185 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1187 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1191 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1192 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1195 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1196 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1198 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1199 * Moose::Meta::Class
1200 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1201 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1203 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1204 * Moose::Manual::Types
1205 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1206 string parsing rathole (mst)
1208 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1209 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1210 using plain objects instead
1212 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1213 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1214 that's what we need.
1216 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1217 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1218 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1219 three times today (perigrin)
1220 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1221 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1224 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1225 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1226 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1229 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1230 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1231 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1232 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1233 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1234 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1237 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1238 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1239 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1240 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1243 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1245 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1248 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1250 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1253 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1254 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1255 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1259 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1260 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1263 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1264 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1266 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1267 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1268 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1270 * Moose::Unsweetened
1271 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1273 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1274 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1277 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1281 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1282 methods during global destruction (doy)
1284 * Moose::Meta::Class
1285 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1286 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1287 consumption (Sartak)
1289 * Moose::Meta::Class
1290 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1291 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1294 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1295 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1298 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1299 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1301 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1303 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1307 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1308 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1309 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1312 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1313 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1314 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1317 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1319 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1320 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1321 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1324 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1325 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1326 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1327 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1329 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1330 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1331 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1334 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1337 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1338 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1339 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1343 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1344 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Class
1347 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1349 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1351 * Moose::Meta::Class
1352 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1353 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1356 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1357 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1360 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1361 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1364 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1367 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1369 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1370 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1373 * Moose::Meta::Class
1374 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1376 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1377 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1380 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1381 * More deprecations and renamings
1382 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1383 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1384 when an object is constructed)
1387 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1388 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1389 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1391 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1392 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1393 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1394 feature, and it works again.
1397 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1399 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1401 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1402 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1403 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1406 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1407 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1408 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1409 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1411 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1412 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1413 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1414 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1415 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1418 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1419 metaclass object. (hdp)
1421 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1422 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1423 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1424 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1425 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1426 point out this fact. (hdp)
1428 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1429 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1431 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1432 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1434 * Moose::Meta::Class
1435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1436 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1437 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1438 called during instance construction were passed the
1439 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1440 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1442 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1443 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1446 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1447 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1448 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1451 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1452 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1453 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1454 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1455 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1457 - Moose::Meta::Class
1458 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1460 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1461 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1462 when an object is constructed)
1463 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1465 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1466 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1467 when an object is constructed)
1468 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1469 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1470 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1473 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1475 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1476 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1478 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1480 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1481 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1482 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1485 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1486 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1488 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1490 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1491 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1493 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1494 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1497 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1498 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1501 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1502 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1503 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1506 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1510 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1511 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1512 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1514 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1515 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1518 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1519 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1520 with recommended workarounds.
1522 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1523 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1525 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1526 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1527 (yes, spelled like that).
1529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1530 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1532 * Moose::Meta::Class
1533 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1534 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1536 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1538 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1539 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1540 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1541 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1542 instead. Reported by doy.
1544 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1546 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1547 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1549 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1550 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1551 message) is now deprecated.
1552 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1553 often got it wrong. For example:
1555 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1557 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1561 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1562 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1563 bite you in weird cases.
1565 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1566 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1567 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1568 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1570 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1571 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1575 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1578 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1579 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1582 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1583 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1585 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1586 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1589 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1591 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1592 - added tests for this (stevan)
1594 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1595 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1596 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1597 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1601 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1602 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1603 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1604 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1606 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1607 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1608 - added tests for this (rafl)
1610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1611 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1612 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1613 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1617 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1618 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1621 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1622 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1623 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1625 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1627 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1628 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1630 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1631 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1632 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1633 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1634 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1636 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1637 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1638 error message did not specify the attribute name
1641 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1643 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1645 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1646 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1647 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1650 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1653 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1655 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1656 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1657 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1658 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1660 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1662 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1663 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1664 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1665 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1668 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1669 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1671 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1672 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1673 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1674 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1675 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1677 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1678 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1679 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1680 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1681 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1683 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1684 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1685 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1686 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1687 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1688 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1690 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1691 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1692 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1693 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1694 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1695 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1698 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1700 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1701 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1702 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1703 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1706 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1709 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1713 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1714 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1716 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1717 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1718 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1719 guts. (nothingmuch).
1721 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1722 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1723 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1725 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1726 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1727 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1728 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1730 * Moose::Meta::Class
1731 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1734 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1735 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1738 * Moose::Unsweetened
1739 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1742 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1743 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1744 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1745 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1746 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1747 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1749 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1750 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1751 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1752 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1753 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1754 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1755 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1756 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1757 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1758 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1760 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1762 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1763 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1766 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1767 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1768 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1770 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1771 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1772 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1773 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1774 same methods for a single role did not work
1775 right (worked just fine with multiple
1777 - added test for this (stevan)
1779 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1780 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1781 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1784 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1785 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1786 - added test for this (t0m)
1789 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1790 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1791 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1793 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1794 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1795 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1796 - added test for this (t0m)
1798 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1799 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1800 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1801 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1802 - added test for this (perigrin)
1805 - create method for constructing a role
1806 dynamically (Sartak)
1807 - added test for this (Sartak)
1808 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1809 - added test for this (Sartak)
1812 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1814 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1815 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1816 methods is useful (Sartak)
1818 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1819 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1820 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1823 * Moose::Meta::Class
1824 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1825 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1826 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1827 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1828 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1829 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1832 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1833 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1835 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1836 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1837 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1838 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1839 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1841 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1843 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1844 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1848 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1849 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1850 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1851 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1852 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1853 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1856 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1857 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1858 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1859 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1860 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1861 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1862 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1863 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1864 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1865 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1866 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1869 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1872 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1873 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1874 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1875 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1876 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1878 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1880 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1881 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1882 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1885 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1887 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1888 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1889 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1890 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1893 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1894 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1896 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1898 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1899 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1901 * Moose::Meta::Class
1902 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1903 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1904 a required attribute
1906 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1907 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1908 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1909 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1911 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1912 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1914 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1915 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1916 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1917 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1918 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1919 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1920 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1921 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1924 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1925 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1927 * Roles and role application
1928 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1929 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1930 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1931 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1932 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1934 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1935 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1938 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1939 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1940 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1941 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1942 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1945 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1946 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1947 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1948 changes in the Moose internals.
1950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1952 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1955 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1956 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1957 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1958 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1961 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1962 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1963 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1965 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1966 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1967 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1968 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1969 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1970 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1971 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1972 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1973 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1974 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1975 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1976 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1977 constraint implementations.
1979 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1983 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1984 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1985 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1986 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1987 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1988 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1989 - added tests for this (rafl)
1991 * Moose::Meta::Class
1992 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1993 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1994 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1995 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1996 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1997 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1998 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1999 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2002 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2003 - added tests for this (thepler)
2005 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2006 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2007 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2008 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2011 * Moose::Meta::Class
2012 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2013 * Moose::Meta::Method
2016 * Moose::Error::Default
2017 * Moose::Error::Croak
2018 * Moose::Error::Confess
2019 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2020 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2021 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2022 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2023 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2024 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2026 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2028 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2029 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2031 * Moose::Unsweetened
2032 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2033 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2034 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2037 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2038 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2039 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2040 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2043 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2044 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2046 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2047 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2048 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2049 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2052 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2054 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2055 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2057 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2060 - Various bug fixes.
2062 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2063 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2065 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2067 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2068 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2069 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2070 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as

2096 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2097 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2098 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2099 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2100 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2102 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry

2223 ... this is not my day today ...
2225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2226 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2227 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2228 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2229 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2232 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2233 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2234 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2235 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2236 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2239 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2241 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2242 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2274 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2275 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2276 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2277 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2278 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2279 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2280 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2281 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2282 - added tests for this
2284 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2285 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2395 XS based functionality is now optional
2396 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2397 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2398 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2501 drink more coffee before
2502 doing release engineering

2765 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2766 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2767 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
2769 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
2770 - (see the POD for details)
2772 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
2773 - this release contains a major reworking and
2774 cleanup of the role system
2775 - 100% backwards compat.
2776 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2777 classes based on type of applicants
2778 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2779 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2780 used in this process
2781 - new Composite role metaclass
2782 - runtime application of roles to instances
2783 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2784 classes when applicable
2786 * <<New Role composition features>>
2787 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2789 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2790 still retain the original as well)
2792 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::OptimizedConstraints
2793 - added this module (see above)
2795 * Moose::Meta::Class
2796 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
2797 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct
2799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2800 - fixed bug when passing a list of values to
2801 an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored.
2802 Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)

2805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2806 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2807 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2808 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2809 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2812 - type constraint handling
2813 - error handling/messages
2814 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2816 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2817 - added this module to support the refactor
2818 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2820 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2821 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2822 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2826 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2828 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2829 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2830 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2832 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2851 types without having to explictly define them
2852 - added tests for this
2854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2855 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2856 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2858 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2859 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2860 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2861 they should inherit the parent's coercion

2864 a single type at different times instead of
2865 having to do it all in one place
2866 - added tests for this
2868 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2869 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2870 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2873 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2874 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2875 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2876 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2880 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2882 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2884 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2885 - added tests for this.
2886 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2887 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2888 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2889 - added tests for this
2890 - added docs for this
2892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2893 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2894 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2895 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2896 instead it will just return undef.
2897 - added docs for this

2911 with work correctly.
2912 - added tests for this
2915 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2916 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2919 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2920 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2921 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2923 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2954 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2955 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2958 - fixed how required methods are handled
2959 when they encounter overriden or modified
2960 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2961 - added tests for this
2963 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2964 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2965 the | always creates a union and so is
2966 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2967 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2969 - added more tests for this
2971 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2974 * Parameterized Types
2975 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2976 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2977 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2978 They can also be nested:
2979 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2980 And work with the type unions as well:
2981 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2983 * Better Framework Extendability
2984 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2985 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2986 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2987 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2990 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2991 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2992 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2993 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2996 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2998 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

3058 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3059 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3061 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3131 (but not changing the handles option)
3132 - added tests and docs for this
3135 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3136 so that required methods can come from superclasses

3150 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3151 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3152 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3153 prototypes for functions
3154 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3155 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3165 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3168 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3169 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3170 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3171 - added tests for this
3173 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3175 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3197 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3199 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3200 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3201 so this release is just to fix that.
3204 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3205 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3206 (thanks to konobi for this)

3212 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3213 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3214 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3215 - added tests for this

3217 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3218 functions to facilitate introspection.
3220 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3221 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3222 to build the list of delegated methods
3223 correctly (and not override important
3224 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3226 - added tests and docs for this
3227 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3228 so that you can actually document your
3229 attributes and inspect them through the
3231 - added tests and docs for this
3233 * Moose::Meta::Class
3234 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3235 it will first look in for the class in the
3236 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3237 then default to just loading $name.
3238 - added tests and docs for this
3240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3241 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3242 - added test for this
3245 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3246 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3247 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3248 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3250 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3251 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3254 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3256 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3257 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3258 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3261 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3262 !! for this developer release to work !!
3264 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3265 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3266 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3267 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3268 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3269 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3270 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3271 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3272 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3273 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3274 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3276 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3277 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3278 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3279 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3282 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3284 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3285 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3286 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3288 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3290 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3291 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3294 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3295 called unless they actually need to be.
3296 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3297 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3298 DEMOLISH method present.
3300 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3302 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3303 type constraint, which allows for a
3304 hand optimized version of the type
3305 constraint to be used when possible.
3306 - Any internally created type constraints
3307 now provide an optimized version as well.
3309 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3311 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3312 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3313 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3316 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3317 your class namespace of these exported
3320 * Moose::Meta::Class
3321 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3322 comes up during global destruction
3324 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3328 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3331 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3332 - changed how we do type checks so that
3333 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3336 - moved accessor generation methods to
3337 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3338 conform to the API changes from
3341 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3342 - changed how constraints are compiled
3343 so that we do less recursion and more
3344 iteration. This makes the type check
3346 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3349 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3350 - created this from methods formerly found in
3351 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3353 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3354 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3357 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3359 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3360 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3362 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3365 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3366 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3367 - added tests for this
3368 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3369 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3370 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3371 - removed tests for this
3373 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3375 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3376 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3377 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3380 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3381 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3382 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3384 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3385 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3386 comments for more info.
3389 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3390 asked questions and common problems
3392 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3393 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3394 - added tests for this
3396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3397 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3398 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3399 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3401 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3402 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3405 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3406 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3407 is much appreciated :)
3408 - added tests for this
3410 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3411 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3412 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3416 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3418 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3420 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3421 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3425 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3426 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3427 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3429 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3431 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3434 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3435 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3436 keywords because we need to localize them.
3437 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3439 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3440 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3441 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3444 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3447 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3448 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3449 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3452 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3453 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3454 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3456 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3458 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3459 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3460 bottom of your class file.
3463 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3466 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3468 - improved error message when loading modules so
3469 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3470 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3471 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3474 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3475 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3476 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3479 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3481 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3482 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3483 turn them on for you.
3484 - added tests for this
3485 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3486 in Moose::Meta::Class
3489 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3490 automatically turned on for you.
3491 - added tests for this
3494 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3495 - added tests for this
3496 - added some more edge case tests

3509 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3512 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3513 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3514 - This release works in combination with
3515 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3516 release because it uses the a new
3517 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3518 complete Role implementation. It has
3519 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3520 the the previous CPAN version. This
3521 release also lacks good updated docs,
3522 the official release will have updated docs.
3525 - refactored the keyword exports
3526 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3527 accepts more than one Role at a time
3528 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3529 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3532 - refactored the keyword exports
3533 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3534 accepts more than one Role at a time
3536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3537 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3538 string enumerations which can be used as
3540 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3543 - more careful checking of params to new()
3546 - much work done on the role composition
3547 - many new tests for conflict detection
3548 and composition edge cases
3549 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3550 looking at the tests
3552 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3553 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3554 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3556 * Moose::Meta::Class
3557 - some small changes to support the new
3559 - some small additions to support Roles
3561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3562 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3564 - some small changes to support the new
3566 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3567 with the 'handles' option
3568 - added several tests for this
3569 - no docs for this yet
3571 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3573 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3574 thanks to chansen for this commit
3575 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3576 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3577 on a per-attribute basis
3578 - added tests for this

3580 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3581 experimental feature and probably not finished
