1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
14 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
15 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
16 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
21 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
22 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
23 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
24 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
26 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
30 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
31 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
32 the attribute's reference.
36 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
37 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
42 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
43 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. (sartak)
45 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
46 the Object constraint).
48 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
52 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
53 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
58 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
60 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
64 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
67 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
69 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
73 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
75 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
79 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
82 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
83 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
84 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
86 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
89 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
93 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
95 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
99 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
101 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
105 * Include changes from 2.0010.
107 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
111 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
112 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
116 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
117 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
118 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
123 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
125 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
129 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
130 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
132 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
136 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
138 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
142 * Various packaging issues.
144 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
148 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
149 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
154 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
155 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
156 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
160 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
161 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
162 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
164 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
168 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
169 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
171 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
175 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
176 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
178 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
181 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
182 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
186 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
187 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
189 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
193 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
194 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
198 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
200 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
204 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
206 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
210 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
211 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
213 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
217 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
219 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
223 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
225 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
226 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
228 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
232 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
233 skips every other role. (rjbs)
235 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
236 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
237 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
238 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
239 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
241 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
245 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
246 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
247 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
250 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
255 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
257 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
258 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
260 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
264 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
265 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
266 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
270 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
271 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
273 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
274 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
276 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
277 environments. (doy, mateu)
279 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
283 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
284 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
285 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
286 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
290 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
291 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
293 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
297 * Update conflicts list.
300 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
304 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
305 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
306 details. (Dave Rolsky)
308 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
309 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
310 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
311 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
312 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
316 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
317 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
318 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
319 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
320 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
323 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
327 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
328 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
330 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
333 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
337 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
338 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
339 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
340 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
342 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
343 immutable classes). (mo)
345 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
346 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
347 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
349 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
353 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
355 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
357 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
361 * Fix some indexing issues.
363 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
365 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
369 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
370 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
371 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
372 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
373 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
375 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
376 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
381 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
382 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
383 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
384 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
386 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
387 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
388 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
392 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
393 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
396 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
400 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
401 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
405 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
409 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
410 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
411 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
412 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
415 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
419 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
422 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
426 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
427 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
428 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
431 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
435 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
436 policy. (Chris Prather)
438 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
439 on this new support policy. (doy)
443 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
444 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
445 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
447 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
448 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
450 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
454 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
455 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
456 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
457 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
460 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
464 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
465 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
468 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
472 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
473 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
475 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
476 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
480 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
481 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
482 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
483 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
484 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
485 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
487 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
488 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
490 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
491 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
492 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
493 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
495 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
496 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
498 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
503 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
504 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
506 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
510 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
511 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
512 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
514 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
518 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
519 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
520 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
522 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
523 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
526 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
527 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
530 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
531 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
532 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
534 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
535 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
540 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
541 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
542 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
543 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
545 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
546 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
548 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
549 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
551 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
552 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
553 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
554 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
556 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
557 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
558 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
561 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
562 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
563 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
564 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
566 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
567 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
570 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
571 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
572 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
574 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
578 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
579 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
580 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
582 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
583 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
584 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
587 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
588 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
589 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
591 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
592 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
593 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
595 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
596 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
600 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
601 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
602 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
604 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
605 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
606 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
607 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
609 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
613 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
614 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
615 value is a reference.
617 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
618 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
620 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
624 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
625 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
626 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
628 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
632 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
633 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
637 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
638 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
639 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
641 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
642 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
643 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
645 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
649 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
651 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
655 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
657 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
658 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
663 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
664 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
666 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
667 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
668 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
669 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
670 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
672 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
673 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
674 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
675 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
677 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
681 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
682 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
687 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
689 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
691 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
696 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
698 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
702 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
703 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
704 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
706 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
707 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
708 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
709 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
711 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
712 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
713 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
714 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
715 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
718 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
723 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
724 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
725 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
726 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
727 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
730 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
734 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
737 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
738 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
742 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
743 function (not just method). (doy)
747 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
748 and aren't easily installable/testable.
750 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
754 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
755 to be overridden more easily (doy).
757 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
761 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
762 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
764 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
768 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
769 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
770 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
772 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
776 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
777 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
778 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
780 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
781 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
785 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
786 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
788 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
789 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
793 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
794 is applied to a class (t0m).
796 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
797 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
799 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
802 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
803 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
805 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
806 be much more robust. (doy)
808 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
810 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
813 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
817 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
818 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
820 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
824 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
825 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
827 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
830 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
831 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
832 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
834 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
835 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
836 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
839 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
841 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
845 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
846 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
850 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
852 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
856 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
857 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
861 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
862 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
866 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
868 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
872 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
873 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
877 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
878 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
882 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
883 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
885 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
889 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
890 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
891 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
894 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
898 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
899 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
900 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
901 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
903 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
907 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
908 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
909 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
913 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
916 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
920 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
921 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
922 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
926 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
927 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
929 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
930 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
931 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
932 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
934 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
938 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
942 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
943 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
945 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
946 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
947 - Moose::Util::does_role
948 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
949 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
950 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
952 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
956 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
957 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
958 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
961 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
965 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
966 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
969 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
973 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
974 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
977 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
981 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
983 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
984 class. (Dave Rolsky).
986 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
987 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
988 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
990 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
991 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
992 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
995 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
996 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
998 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
999 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1000 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1002 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1004 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1005 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1007 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1009 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1012 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1013 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1015 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1016 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1018 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1019 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1020 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1021 dependencies installed.
1023 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1024 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1027 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1029 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1033 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1035 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1036 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1037 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1039 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1040 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1041 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1043 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1044 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1047 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1048 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1049 others. (nothingmuch)
1051 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1052 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1053 remove_accessors. (doy)
1055 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1056 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1057 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1059 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1060 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1062 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1063 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1064 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1065 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1067 * Moose::Meta::Class
1068 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1069 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1071 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1072 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1074 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1076 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1077 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1080 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1081 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1082 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1083 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1084 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1086 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1087 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1089 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1090 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1091 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1092 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1095 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1096 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1097 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1098 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1099 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1101 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1102 which were not receiving the value of
1103 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1104 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1105 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1106 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1110 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1111 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1112 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1113 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1114 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1118 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1119 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1120 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Class
1123 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1124 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1125 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1128 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1130 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1132 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1133 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1134 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1137 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1138 class if you pass it options for
1139 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1140 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1141 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1142 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1143 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1144 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1145 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1146 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1147 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1150 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1151 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1152 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1153 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1156 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1158 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1159 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1161 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1162 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1163 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1164 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1165 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1166 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1169 * Moose::Error::Croak
1170 * Moose::Error::Confess
1171 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1172 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1175 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1178 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1179 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1180 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1182 * Moose::Meta::Class
1183 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1186 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1187 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1188 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1190 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1191 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1192 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1193 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1194 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1196 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1197 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1200 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1202 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1203 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1206 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1207 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1209 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1211 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1212 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1214 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1215 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1216 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1217 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1218 using it for new code!
1220 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1221 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1222 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1223 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1225 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1226 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1227 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1228 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1229 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1230 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1231 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1232 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1235 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1238 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1239 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1243 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1245 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1246 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1247 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1249 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1250 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1251 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1252 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1254 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1255 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1256 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1258 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1259 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1260 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1263 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1265 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1266 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1267 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1268 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1270 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1272 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1276 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1277 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1279 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1280 associated_methods. (hdp)
1281 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1282 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1283 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1284 misspelled) arguments
1286 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1287 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1288 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1289 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1291 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1292 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1293 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1295 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1299 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1300 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1303 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1304 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1306 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class
1308 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1309 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1311 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1312 * Moose::Manual::Types
1313 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1314 string parsing rathole (mst)
1316 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1317 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1318 using plain objects instead
1320 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1321 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1322 that's what we need.
1324 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1325 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1326 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1327 three times today (perigrin)
1328 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1329 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1331 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1332 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1333 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1334 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1337 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1338 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1339 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1340 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1341 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1342 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1345 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1346 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1347 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1348 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1351 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1353 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1356 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1358 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1361 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1362 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1363 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1367 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1368 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1371 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1372 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1374 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1375 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1376 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1378 * Moose::Unsweetened
1379 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1381 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1382 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1385 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1389 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1390 methods during global destruction (doy)
1392 * Moose::Meta::Class
1393 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1394 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1395 consumption (Sartak)
1397 * Moose::Meta::Class
1398 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1399 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1402 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1403 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1406 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1407 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1409 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1411 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1415 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1416 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1417 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1420 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1421 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1422 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1425 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1427 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1428 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1429 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1433 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1434 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1435 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1437 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1438 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1439 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1442 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1445 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1446 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1447 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1451 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1452 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1454 * Moose::Meta::Class
1455 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1457 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1459 * Moose::Meta::Class
1460 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1461 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1464 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1465 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1468 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1469 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1472 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1475 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1478 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1481 * Moose::Meta::Class
1482 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1484 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1485 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1488 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1489 * More deprecations and renamings
1490 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1491 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1492 when an object is constructed)
1495 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1496 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1497 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1499 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1500 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1501 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1502 feature, and it works again.
1505 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1507 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1509 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1510 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1511 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1513 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1514 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1515 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1516 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1517 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1520 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1521 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1522 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1523 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1526 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1527 metaclass object. (hdp)
1529 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1530 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1531 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1532 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1533 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1534 point out this fact. (hdp)
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1537 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1539 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1540 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1542 * Moose::Meta::Class
1543 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1544 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1545 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1546 called during instance construction were passed the
1547 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1548 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1550 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1551 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1554 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1555 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1556 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1559 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1560 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1561 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1562 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1563 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1565 - Moose::Meta::Class
1566 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1568 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1569 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1570 when an object is constructed)
1571 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1573 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1574 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1575 when an object is constructed)
1576 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1577 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1578 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1581 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1583 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1584 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1586 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1588 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1589 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1590 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1593 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1594 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1596 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1598 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1599 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1601 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1602 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1606 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1609 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1610 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1611 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1613 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1614 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1618 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1619 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1620 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1622 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1623 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1626 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1627 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1628 with recommended workarounds.
1630 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1631 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1633 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1634 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1635 (yes, spelled like that).
1637 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1638 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1640 * Moose::Meta::Class
1641 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1642 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1644 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1646 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1647 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1648 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1649 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1650 instead. Reported by doy.
1652 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1654 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1655 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1658 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1659 message) is now deprecated.
1660 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1661 often got it wrong. For example:
1663 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1665 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1669 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1670 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1671 bite you in weird cases.
1673 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1674 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1675 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1676 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1678 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1679 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1683 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1686 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1687 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1690 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1691 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1693 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1694 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1697 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1698 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1699 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1700 - added tests for this (stevan)
1702 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1703 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1704 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1705 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1709 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1710 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1711 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1712 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1714 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1715 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1716 - added tests for this (rafl)
1718 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1719 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1720 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1721 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1725 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1726 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1729 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1730 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1731 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1735 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1736 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1738 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1739 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1740 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1741 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1742 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1744 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1745 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1746 error message did not specify the attribute name
1749 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1751 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1753 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1754 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1755 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1757 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1758 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1761 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1763 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1764 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1765 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1766 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1768 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1770 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1771 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1772 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1773 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1776 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1777 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1780 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1781 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1782 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1783 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1786 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1787 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1788 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1789 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1792 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1793 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1794 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1795 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1796 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1798 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1799 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1800 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1801 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1802 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1803 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1806 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1808 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1809 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1810 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1811 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1814 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1817 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1821 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1822 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1824 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1825 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1826 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1827 guts. (nothingmuch).
1829 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1830 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1831 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1833 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1834 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1835 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1836 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1838 * Moose::Meta::Class
1839 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1842 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1843 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1846 * Moose::Unsweetened
1847 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1850 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1851 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1852 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1853 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1854 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1855 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1857 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1858 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1859 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1860 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1861 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1862 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1863 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1865 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1866 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1870 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1871 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1874 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1875 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1876 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1878 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1879 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1880 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1881 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1882 same methods for a single role did not work
1883 right (worked just fine with multiple
1885 - added test for this (stevan)
1887 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1888 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1889 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1892 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1893 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1894 - added test for this (t0m)
1897 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1898 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1899 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1901 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1902 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1903 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1904 - added test for this (t0m)
1906 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1907 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1908 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1909 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1910 - added test for this (perigrin)
1913 - create method for constructing a role
1914 dynamically (Sartak)
1915 - added test for this (Sartak)
1916 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1917 - added test for this (Sartak)
1920 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1922 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1923 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1924 methods is useful (Sartak)
1926 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1927 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1928 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1931 * Moose::Meta::Class
1932 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1933 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1934 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1935 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1936 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1940 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1941 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1943 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1944 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1945 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1946 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1947 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1951 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1952 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1953 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1956 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1957 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1958 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1959 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1960 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1961 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1965 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1966 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1967 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1968 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1969 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1970 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1971 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1972 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1973 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1974 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1976 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1977 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1980 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1981 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1982 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1983 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1984 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1986 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1988 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1989 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1990 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1992 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1993 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1995 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1996 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1997 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1998 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2001 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2002 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2004 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2006 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2007 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2009 * Moose::Meta::Class
2010 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2011 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2012 a required attribute
2014 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2015 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2016 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2017 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2019 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2020 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2022 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2023 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2024 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2025 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2026 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2027 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2028 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2029 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2031 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2032 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2033 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2035 * Roles and role application
2036 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2037 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2038 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2039 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2040 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2042 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2043 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2046 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2047 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2048 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2049 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2050 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2053 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2054 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2055 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2056 changes in the Moose internals.
2058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2059 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2060 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2063 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2064 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2065 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2066 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2068 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2069 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2070 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2071 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2074 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2075 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2076 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2077 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2078 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2079 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2080 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2081 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2082 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2083 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2084 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2085 constraint implementations.
2087 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2091 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2092 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2093 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2094 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2095 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2096 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2097 - added tests for this (rafl)
2099 * Moose::Meta::Class
2100 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2101 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2102 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2103 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2104 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2105 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2106 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2107 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2110 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2111 - added tests for this (thepler)
2113 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2114 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2115 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2116 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2119 * Moose::Meta::Class
2120 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2121 * Moose::Meta::Method
2124 * Moose::Error::Default
2125 * Moose::Error::Croak
2126 * Moose::Error::Confess
2127 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2128 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2129 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2130 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2131 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2132 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2134 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2136 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2137 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2139 * Moose::Unsweetened
2140 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2141 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2142 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2144 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2145 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2146 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2147 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2148 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2151 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2152 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2154 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2155 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2156 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2157 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2176 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2177 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2197 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2200 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2203 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2204 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2205 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2206 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2207 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2208 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2211 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2213 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2215 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2216 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2220 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2221 method when that method was provided by another role being
2222 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2223 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2225 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2232 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2233 - added test for this (t0m)
2235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2236 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2237 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2239 - added test for this (t0m)
2242 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2243 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2244 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2247 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2248 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2250 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2252 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2253 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2255 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2256 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2257 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2259 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2260 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2263 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2266 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2270 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2271 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2272 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2281 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2285 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2290 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2291 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2292 created so that the process can be more easily
2293 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2305 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2307 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2308 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2309 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)

2322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2323 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2327 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2328 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2330 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2331 ... this is not my day today ...
2333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2334 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2335 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2336 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2337 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2340 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2341 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2342 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2343 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2344 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2347 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2349 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2350 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2351 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2352 this is not ever something you want to do
2353 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2354 - added tests for this (stevan)
2357 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2359 - added test for this

2372 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2375 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2377 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2379 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2382 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2383 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2384 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2385 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2386 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2387 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2388 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2389 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2390 - added tests for this
2392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2393 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2394 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2395 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2397 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2466 which was causing the indexer to choke
2468 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2469 (late night release engineering)--
2471 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional

2488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2489 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2490 method for immutablization to check if the
2491 destructor object even needs to be created
2494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2495 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2496 - added more descriptive error message to help
2497 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2498 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2500 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2502 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2503 XS based functionality is now optional
2504 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2505 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2506 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2508 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2509 to take care of this, mostly we added
2510 support for the package_name and name

2513 support regexp matching of names
2514 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2516 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2517 is currently not supported in roles,
2518 but, ... patches welcome

2520 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2521 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2525 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2526 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2527 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2528 same array ref form that Moose.pm does

2530 - added test for this
2532 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2533 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2534 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the

2558 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2559 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2560 (if possible) to create the anon-class

2576 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2579 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2580 ->body when looping through the
2581 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2583 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2584 eating the $@ values, and so not
2585 working correctly, it still kind of
2586 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2587 - added tests for this
2589 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2590 - added new recipe for immutable
2591 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2609 drink more coffee before
2610 doing release engineering
2612 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2613 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

2724 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2725 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2727 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2729 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2730 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2731 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2733 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2734 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2755 a role is applied to an the instance (rebless_params)
2756 - added tests for this
2758 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2759 - class_type now accepts an optional second argument for a
2760 custom message. POD anotated accordingly (groditi)
2761 - added tests for this
2762 - it is now possible to make anon-enums by passing 'enum' an
2763 ARRAY ref instead of the $name => @values. Everything else

2768 - making test for using '+name' on attributes consumed
2769 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2772 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2773 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2774 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3068 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3069 - added tests for this
3071 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3079 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3082 * Parameterized Types
3083 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3084 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3085 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3086 They can also be nested:
3087 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3088 And work with the type unions as well:
3089 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3091 * Better Framework Extendability
3092 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3093 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3094 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3095 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3098 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3099 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3100 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3101 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3104 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3106 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

3336 so that you can actually document your
3337 attributes and inspect them through the

3341 * Moose::Meta::Class
3342 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3343 it will first look in for the class in the

3345 then default to just loading $name.
3346 - added tests and docs for this
3348 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3349 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3350 - added test for this

3355 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3356 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3358 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3359 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3362 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3364 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3365 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3366 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3369 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3370 !! for this developer release to work !!
3372 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3373 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3374 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3375 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3376 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3377 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3378 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3379 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3380 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3381 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3382 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3384 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3385 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3386 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3387 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3390 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3391 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3392 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3393 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3394 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3396 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3398 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3399 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3402 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3403 called unless they actually need to be.
3404 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3405 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3406 DEMOLISH method present.
3408 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3409 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3410 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3411 type constraint, which allows for a
3412 hand optimized version of the type
3413 constraint to be used when possible.
3414 - Any internally created type constraints
3415 now provide an optimized version as well.
3417 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3419 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3420 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3421 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3424 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3425 your class namespace of these exported
3428 * Moose::Meta::Class
3429 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3430 comes up during global destruction
3432 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3436 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3440 - changed how we do type checks so that
3441 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3444 - moved accessor generation methods to
3445 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3446 conform to the API changes from
3449 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3450 - changed how constraints are compiled
3451 so that we do less recursion and more
3452 iteration. This makes the type check
3454 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3457 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3458 - created this from methods formerly found in
3459 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3461 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3462 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3464 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3465 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3467 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3468 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3470 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3473 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3474 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3475 - added tests for this
3476 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3477 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3478 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3479 - removed tests for this
3481 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3483 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3484 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3485 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3488 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3489 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3490 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3492 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3493 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3494 comments for more info.
3497 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3498 asked questions and common problems
3500 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3501 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3502 - added tests for this
3504 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3505 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3506 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3507 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3509 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3510 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3513 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3514 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3515 is much appreciated :)
3516 - added tests for this
3518 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3519 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3520 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3523 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3524 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3526 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3528 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3529 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3533 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3534 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3535 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3537 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3539 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3542 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3543 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3544 keywords because we need to localize them.
3545 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3547 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3548 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3549 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3552 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3555 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3556 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3557 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3560 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3561 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3562 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3564 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3566 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3567 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3568 bottom of your class file.
3571 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3574 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3576 - improved error message when loading modules so
3577 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3578 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3579 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3582 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3583 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3584 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3586 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3587 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3589 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3590 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3591 turn them on for you.
3592 - added tests for this
3593 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3594 in Moose::Meta::Class
3597 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3598 automatically turned on for you.

3602 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3603 - added tests for this

3620 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3621 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3622 - This release works in combination with
3623 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3624 release because it uses the a new
3625 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3626 complete Role implementation. It has
3627 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3628 the the previous CPAN version. This
3629 release also lacks good updated docs,
3630 the official release will have updated docs.
3633 - refactored the keyword exports
3634 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3635 accepts more than one Role at a time
3636 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3637 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3640 - refactored the keyword exports
3641 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3642 accepts more than one Role at a time
3644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3645 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3646 string enumerations which can be used as
3648 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3651 - more careful checking of params to new()
3654 - much work done on the role composition
3655 - many new tests for conflict detection
3656 and composition edge cases
3657 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3658 looking at the tests
3660 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3661 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3662 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3664 * Moose::Meta::Class
3665 - some small changes to support the new
3667 - some small additions to support Roles
3669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3670 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3672 - some small changes to support the new
3674 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3675 with the 'handles' option
3676 - added several tests for this
3677 - no docs for this yet
3679 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3681 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3682 thanks to chansen for this commit
3683 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3684 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3685 on a per-attribute basis
3686 - added tests for this
3687 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3688 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3689 experimental feature and probably not finished

3754 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3756 - added test for this
