1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
9 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
11 * Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
12 without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
16 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
17 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
18 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
20 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
22 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
26 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
27 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
28 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
29 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
30 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
32 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
36 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
37 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
38 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
40 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
44 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
46 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
50 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
51 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
52 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
55 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
57 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
61 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
63 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
67 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
68 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
72 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
73 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
74 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
75 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
76 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
81 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
82 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
83 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
84 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
86 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
87 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
88 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
90 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
91 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
92 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
93 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
95 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
96 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
97 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
98 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
100 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
101 package which was deleted. (doy)
103 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
107 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
109 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
113 * Minor documentation fixes.
115 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
116 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
118 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
122 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
123 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
125 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
129 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
131 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
135 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
137 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
140 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
144 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
146 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
147 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
151 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
152 more values were required. (rjbs)
154 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
158 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
159 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
163 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
164 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
165 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
166 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
168 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
169 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
170 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
172 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
173 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
176 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
177 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
178 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
179 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
183 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
184 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
185 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
186 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
189 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
193 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
194 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
195 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
197 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
198 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
199 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
201 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
202 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
203 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
205 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
206 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
209 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
210 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
211 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
213 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
214 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
217 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
218 the associated stash. (doy)
222 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
223 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
224 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
225 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
227 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
231 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
232 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
233 the attribute's reference.
237 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
238 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
243 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
244 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
245 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
248 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
249 the Object constraint).
251 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
255 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
256 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
261 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
263 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
267 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
270 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
272 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
276 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
278 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
282 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
285 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
286 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
287 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
289 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
292 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
296 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
298 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
302 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
304 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
308 * Include changes from 2.0010.
310 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
314 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
315 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
319 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
320 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
321 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
326 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
328 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
332 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
333 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
335 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
339 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
341 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
345 * Various packaging issues.
347 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
351 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
352 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
357 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
358 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
359 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
363 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
364 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
365 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
367 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
371 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
372 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
374 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
378 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
379 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
381 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
384 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
385 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
389 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
390 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
392 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
396 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
397 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
401 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
403 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
407 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
409 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
413 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
414 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
416 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
420 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
422 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
426 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
428 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
429 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
431 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
435 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
436 skips every other role. (rjbs)
438 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
439 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
440 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
441 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
442 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
444 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
448 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
449 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
450 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
453 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
458 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
460 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
461 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
463 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
467 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
468 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
469 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
473 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
474 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
476 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
477 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
479 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
480 environments. (doy, mateu)
482 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
486 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
487 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
488 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
489 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
493 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
494 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
496 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
500 * Update conflicts list.
503 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
507 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
508 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
509 details. (Dave Rolsky)
511 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
512 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
513 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
514 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
515 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
519 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
520 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
521 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
522 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
523 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
526 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
530 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
531 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
533 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
536 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
540 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
541 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
542 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
543 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
545 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
546 immutable classes). (mo)
548 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
549 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
550 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
552 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
556 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
558 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
560 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
564 * Fix some indexing issues.
566 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
568 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
572 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
573 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
574 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
575 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
576 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
578 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
579 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
584 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
585 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
586 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
587 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
589 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
590 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
591 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
595 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
596 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
599 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
603 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
604 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
608 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
612 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
613 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
614 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
615 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
618 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
622 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
625 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
629 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
630 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
631 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
634 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
638 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
639 policy. (Chris Prather)
641 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
642 on this new support policy. (doy)
646 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
647 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
648 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
650 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
651 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
653 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
657 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
658 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
659 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
660 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
663 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
667 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
668 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
671 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
675 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
676 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
678 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
679 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
683 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
684 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
685 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
686 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
687 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
688 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
690 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
691 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
693 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
694 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
695 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
696 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
698 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
699 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
701 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
706 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
707 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
709 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
713 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
714 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
715 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
717 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
721 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
722 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
723 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
725 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
726 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
729 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
730 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
733 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
734 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
735 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
737 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
738 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
743 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
744 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
745 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
746 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
748 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
749 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
751 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
752 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
754 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
755 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
756 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
757 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
759 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
760 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
761 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
764 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
765 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
766 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
767 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
769 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
770 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
773 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
774 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
775 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
777 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
781 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
782 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
783 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
785 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
786 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
787 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
790 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
791 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
792 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
794 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
795 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
796 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
798 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
799 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
803 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
804 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
805 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
807 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
808 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
809 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
810 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
812 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
816 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
817 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
818 value is a reference.
820 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
821 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
823 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
827 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
828 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
829 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
831 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
835 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
836 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
840 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
841 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
842 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
844 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
845 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
846 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
848 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
852 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
854 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
858 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
860 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
861 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
866 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
867 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
869 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
870 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
871 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
872 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
873 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
875 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
876 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
877 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
878 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
880 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
884 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
885 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
890 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
892 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
894 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
899 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
901 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
905 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
906 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
907 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
909 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
910 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
911 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
912 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
914 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
915 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
916 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
917 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
918 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
921 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
926 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
927 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
928 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
929 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
930 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
933 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
937 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
940 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
941 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
945 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
946 function (not just method). (doy)
950 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
951 and aren't easily installable/testable.
953 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
957 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
958 to be overridden more easily (doy).
960 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
964 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
965 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
967 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
971 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
972 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
973 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
975 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
979 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
980 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
981 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
983 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
984 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
988 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
989 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
991 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
992 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
996 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
997 is applied to a class (t0m).
999 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
1000 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1002 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1005 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1006 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1008 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1009 be much more robust. (doy)
1011 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1013 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1016 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1020 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1021 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1023 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1027 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1028 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1030 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1033 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1034 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1035 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1037 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1038 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1039 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1042 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1044 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1048 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1049 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1053 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1055 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1059 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1060 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1064 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1065 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1069 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1071 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1075 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1076 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1080 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1081 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1085 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1086 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1088 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1092 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1093 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1094 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1097 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1101 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1102 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1103 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1104 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1106 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1110 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1111 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1112 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1116 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1117 (Michael G. Schwern)
1119 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1123 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1124 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1125 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1129 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1130 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1132 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1133 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1134 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1135 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1137 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1141 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1145 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1146 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1148 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1149 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1150 - Moose::Util::does_role
1151 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1152 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1153 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1155 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1159 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1160 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1161 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1164 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1168 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1169 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1172 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1176 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1177 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1180 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1184 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1186 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1187 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1189 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1190 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1191 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1193 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1194 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1195 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1198 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1199 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1201 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1202 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1203 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1205 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1207 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1208 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1210 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1212 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1215 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1216 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1218 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1219 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1221 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1222 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1223 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1224 dependencies installed.
1226 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1227 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1230 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1232 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1236 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1239 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1240 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1243 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1244 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1246 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1247 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1250 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1251 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1252 others. (nothingmuch)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1255 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1256 remove_accessors. (doy)
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1259 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1260 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1263 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1265 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1266 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1267 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1268 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1270 * Moose::Meta::Class
1271 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1272 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1274 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1275 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1277 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1279 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1280 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1283 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1284 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1285 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1286 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1287 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1289 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1290 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1292 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1293 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1294 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1295 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1298 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1299 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1300 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1301 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1302 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1304 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1305 which were not receiving the value of
1306 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1307 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1308 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1309 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1313 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1314 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1315 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1316 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1317 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1320 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1321 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1322 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1323 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1325 * Moose::Meta::Class
1326 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1327 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1328 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1331 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1332 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1333 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1335 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1336 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1337 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1340 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1341 class if you pass it options for
1342 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1343 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1344 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1345 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1346 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1347 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1348 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1349 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1350 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1352 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1353 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1354 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1355 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1356 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1359 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1361 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1362 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1365 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1366 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1367 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1368 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1369 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1372 * Moose::Error::Croak
1373 * Moose::Error::Confess
1374 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1375 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1378 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1381 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1382 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1383 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Class
1386 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1389 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1390 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1391 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1393 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1394 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1395 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1396 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1397 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1400 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1403 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1405 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1406 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1409 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1410 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1412 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1414 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1415 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1417 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1418 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1419 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1420 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1421 using it for new code!
1423 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1424 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1425 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1426 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1428 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1429 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1430 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1431 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1432 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1433 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1434 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1435 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1438 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1441 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1442 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1446 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1448 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1449 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1450 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1452 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1453 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1454 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1455 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1457 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1458 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1459 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1462 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1463 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1466 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1467 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1468 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1469 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1470 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1471 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1473 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1475 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1478 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1479 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1480 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1482 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1483 associated_methods. (hdp)
1484 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1485 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1486 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1487 misspelled) arguments
1489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1490 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1491 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1492 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1495 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1496 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1498 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1501 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1502 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1503 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1506 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1507 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1509 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1510 * Moose::Meta::Class
1511 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1512 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1514 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1515 * Moose::Manual::Types
1516 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1517 string parsing rathole (mst)
1519 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1520 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1521 using plain objects instead
1523 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1524 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1525 that's what we need.
1527 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1528 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1529 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1530 three times today (perigrin)
1531 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1532 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1534 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1535 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1536 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1537 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1540 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1541 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1542 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1543 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1544 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1545 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1548 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1549 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1550 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1551 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1554 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1556 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1559 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1561 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1564 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1565 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1566 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1570 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1571 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1574 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1575 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1577 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1579 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1581 * Moose::Unsweetened
1582 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1584 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1585 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1588 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1592 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1593 methods during global destruction (doy)
1595 * Moose::Meta::Class
1596 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1597 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1598 consumption (Sartak)
1600 * Moose::Meta::Class
1601 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1602 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1605 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1606 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1609 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1610 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1612 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1614 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1618 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1619 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1620 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1623 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1624 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1625 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1628 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1630 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1631 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1632 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1635 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1636 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1637 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1638 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1640 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1641 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1642 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1645 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1648 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1649 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1650 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1654 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1655 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1657 * Moose::Meta::Class
1658 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1660 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1662 * Moose::Meta::Class
1663 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1664 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1667 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1668 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1671 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1672 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1675 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1678 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1681 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1684 * Moose::Meta::Class
1685 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1687 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1688 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1691 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1692 * More deprecations and renamings
1693 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1694 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1695 when an object is constructed)
1698 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1699 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1700 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1702 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1703 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1704 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1705 feature, and it works again.
1708 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1710 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1712 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1713 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1714 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1716 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1717 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1718 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1719 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1720 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1723 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1724 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1725 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1726 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1729 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1730 metaclass object. (hdp)
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1734 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1736 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1737 point out this fact. (hdp)
1739 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1740 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1742 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1743 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1745 * Moose::Meta::Class
1746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1747 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1748 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1749 called during instance construction were passed the
1750 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1751 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1753 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1754 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1757 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1758 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1759 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1762 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1763 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1764 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1765 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1766 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1768 - Moose::Meta::Class
1769 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1771 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1772 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1773 when an object is constructed)
1774 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1776 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1777 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1778 when an object is constructed)
1779 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1780 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1781 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1784 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1786 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1787 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1789 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1791 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1792 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1793 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1795 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1796 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1797 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1799 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1801 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1802 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1804 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1805 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1808 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1809 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1812 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1813 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1814 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1817 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1821 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1822 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1823 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1825 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1826 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1829 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1830 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1831 with recommended workarounds.
1833 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1834 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1836 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1837 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1838 (yes, spelled like that).
1840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1841 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1843 * Moose::Meta::Class
1844 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1845 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1847 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1849 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1850 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1851 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1852 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1853 instead. Reported by doy.
1855 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1857 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1858 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1860 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1861 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1862 message) is now deprecated.
1863 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1864 often got it wrong. For example:
1866 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1868 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1872 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1873 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1874 bite you in weird cases.
1876 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1877 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1878 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1879 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1881 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1882 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1886 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1889 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1890 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1893 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1894 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1897 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1900 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1902 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1903 - added tests for this (stevan)
1905 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1906 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1907 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1908 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1912 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1913 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1914 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1915 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1917 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1918 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1919 - added tests for this (rafl)
1921 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1922 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1923 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1924 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1928 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1929 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1932 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1933 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1934 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1936 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1938 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1939 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1941 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1942 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1943 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1944 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1945 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1947 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1948 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1949 error message did not specify the attribute name
1952 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1954 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1956 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1957 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1958 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1960 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1961 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1964 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1966 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1967 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1968 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1969 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1971 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1973 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1974 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1975 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1976 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1978 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1979 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1980 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1983 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1984 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1985 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1986 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1989 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1990 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1991 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1992 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1994 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1995 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1996 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1997 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1998 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1999 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
2001 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2002 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2003 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2004 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2005 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2006 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2009 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2011 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2012 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2013 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2014 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2016 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2017 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2020 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2024 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2025 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2027 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2028 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2029 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2030 guts. (nothingmuch).
2032 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2033 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2034 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2037 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2038 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2039 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2041 * Moose::Meta::Class
2042 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2045 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2046 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2048 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2049 * Moose::Unsweetened
2050 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2053 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2054 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2055 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2056 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2057 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2058 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2060 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2061 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2062 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2063 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2064 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2065 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2066 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2067 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2068 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2069 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2071 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2073 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2074 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2076 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2077 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2078 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2079 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2081 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2082 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2083 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2084 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2085 same methods for a single role did not work
2086 right (worked just fine with multiple
2088 - added test for this (stevan)
2090 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2091 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2092 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2095 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2096 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2097 - added test for this (t0m)
2100 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2101 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2102 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2104 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2105 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2106 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2107 - added test for this (t0m)
2109 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2110 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2111 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2112 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2113 - added test for this (perigrin)
2116 - create method for constructing a role
2117 dynamically (Sartak)
2118 - added test for this (Sartak)
2119 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2120 - added test for this (Sartak)
2123 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2125 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2126 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2127 methods is useful (Sartak)
2129 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2131 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2134 * Moose::Meta::Class
2135 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2136 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2137 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2138 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2139 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2140 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2143 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2144 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2146 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2147 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2148 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2149 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2150 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2152 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2154 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2155 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2156 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2159 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2160 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2161 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2162 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2163 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2164 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2168 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2169 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2170 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2171 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2172 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2173 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2174 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2175 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2176 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2177 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2179 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2180 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2183 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2184 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2185 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2186 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2187 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2189 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2191 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2192 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2193 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2195 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2196 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2198 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2199 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2200 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2201 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2204 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2205 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2207 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2209 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2210 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2212 * Moose::Meta::Class
2213 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2214 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2215 a required attribute
2217 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2218 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2219 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2220 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2223 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2226 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2227 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2228 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2229 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2230 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2231 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2232 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2234 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2235 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2236 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2238 * Roles and role application
2239 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2240 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2241 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2242 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2243 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2245 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2246 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2249 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2250 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2251 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2252 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2253 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2256 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2257 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2258 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2259 changes in the Moose internals.
2261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2263 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2266 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2267 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2268 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2269 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2272 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2273 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2274 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2276 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2277 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2278 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2279 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2280 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2281 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2282 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2283 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2284 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2285 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2286 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2287 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2288 constraint implementations.
2290 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2294 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2295 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2296 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2297 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2298 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2299 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2300 - added tests for this (rafl)
2302 * Moose::Meta::Class
2303 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2304 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2305 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2306 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2307 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2308 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2309 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2310 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2313 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2314 - added tests for this (thepler)
2316 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2317 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2318 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2319 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2322 * Moose::Meta::Class
2323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2324 * Moose::Meta::Method
2327 * Moose::Error::Default
2328 * Moose::Error::Croak
2329 * Moose::Error::Confess
2330 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2331 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2332 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2333 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2334 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2335 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2337 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2339 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2340 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2342 * Moose::Unsweetened
2343 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2344 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2345 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2347 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2348 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2349 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2350 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2351 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2354 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2355 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2357 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2358 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2359 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2360 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2363 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2365 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2366 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2368 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2371 - Various bug fixes.
2373 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2374 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2376 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2378 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2379 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2380 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2381 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2382 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2383 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2385 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2386 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2387 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2389 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2390 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2391 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2394 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2395 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2396 dependency to 0.64_07.
2398 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2399 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2400 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2402 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2403 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2406 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2407 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2408 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2409 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2410 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2411 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2413 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2414 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2416 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2418 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2419 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2423 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2424 method when that method was provided by another role being
2425 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2426 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2428 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2430 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2431 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2433 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2434 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2435 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2436 - added test for this (t0m)
2438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2439 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2440 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2442 - added test for this (t0m)
2445 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2446 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2447 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2450 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2451 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2453 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2455 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2456 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2458 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2459 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2460 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2462 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2463 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2466 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2467 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2468 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2469 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2473 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2474 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2475 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2478 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2479 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2480 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2481 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2484 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2488 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2489 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2490 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2492 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2493 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2494 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2495 created so that the process can be more easily
2496 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2498 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2499 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2500 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2501 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2503 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2504 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2507 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2508 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2510 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2511 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2512 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2514 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2515 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2516 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2518 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2519 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2521 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2522 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2525 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2526 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2530 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2531 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2533 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2534 ... this is not my day today ...
2536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2537 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2538 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2539 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2540 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2543 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2544 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2545 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2546 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2547 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2550 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2552 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2553 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2554 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2555 this is not ever something you want to do
2556 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2557 - added tests for this (stevan)
2560 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2562 - added test for this
2564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2565 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2566 - added tests for this (wreis)
2568 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2569 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2570 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2571 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2573 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2574 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2575 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2578 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2580 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2582 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2585 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2586 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2587 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2588 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2589 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2590 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2591 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2592 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2593 - added tests for this
2595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2596 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2597 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2598 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2600 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2603 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2604 - added tests for this (sartak)
2605 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2606 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2609 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2611 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2612 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2615 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2616 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2617 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2619 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2621 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2622 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2625 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2626 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2627 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2630 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2631 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2633 - added docs for this (TODO).
2634 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2635 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2636 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2637 - fix builder and default both being used
2642 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2644 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2645 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2646 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2650 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2654 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2655 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2656 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2658 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2659 - move the ClassName type check code to
2660 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2662 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2663 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2665 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2666 (early morning release engineering)--
2668 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2669 which was causing the indexer to choke
2671 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2672 (late night release engineering)--
2674 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2675 changes in this release
2677 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2678 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2679 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2681 * Moose::Meta::Class
2682 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2683 since it is called so often by &meta
2685 * Moose::Meta::Class
2687 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2688 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2691 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2692 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2693 method for immutablization to check if the
2694 destructor object even needs to be created
2697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2698 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2699 - added more descriptive error message to help
2700 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2701 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2703 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2705 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2706 XS based functionality is now optional
2707 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2708 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2709 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2711 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2712 to take care of this, mostly we added
2713 support for the package_name and name
2714 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2715 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2716 support regexp matching of names
2717 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2718 - tests added for this
2719 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2720 is currently not supported in roles,
2721 but, ... patches welcome
2722 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2723 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2724 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2727 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2728 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2729 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2730 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2731 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2732 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2733 - added test for this
2735 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2736 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2737 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2740 * Moose::Meta::Class
2741 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2745 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2747 - added tests for this
2748 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2749 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2752 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2753 themselves parameterizable types
2755 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2756 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2757 called by the inlined immutable
2759 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2761 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2762 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2763 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2764 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2766 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2767 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2771 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2772 causing occasional cpantester failures
2773 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2774 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2776 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2778 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2779 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2782 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2783 ->body when looping through the
2784 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2786 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2787 eating the $@ values, and so not

2930 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2932 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2976 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2977 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3282 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3285 * Parameterized Types
3286 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3287 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3288 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3289 They can also be nested:
3290 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3291 And work with the type unions as well:
3292 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3294 * Better Framework Extendability
3295 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3296 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3297 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3298 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3301 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3302 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3303 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3304 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3464 prototypes for functions
3465 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3466 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3467 - added tests and docs for this
3468 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3469 default for where be { 1 }
3470 - added test for this
3472 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3473 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3474 merlyn for finding this bug
3475 - tests added for this
3476 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3479 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3480 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3481 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3482 - added tests for this
3484 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3486 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3487 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
3488 - altered unimport tests to handle this
3491 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
3493 * Moose::Meta::Class
3494 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
3495 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
3498 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3499 where not handled correctly in roles
3500 - added tests for this
3502 * Moose::Meta::Class
3503 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3504 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3505 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3507 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3508 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

3511 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3512 so this release is just to fix that.
3515 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3516 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3517 (thanks to konobi for this)
3518 - added tests and docs
3520 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3521 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3523 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3524 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3525 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3526 - added tests for this
3527 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3528 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3529 functions to facilitate introspection.
3531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3532 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3533 to build the list of delegated methods
3534 correctly (and not override important
3535 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3537 - added tests and docs for this
3538 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3539 so that you can actually document your
3540 attributes and inspect them through the
3542 - added tests and docs for this
3544 * Moose::Meta::Class
3545 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3546 it will first look in for the class in the
3547 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3548 then default to just loading $name.
3549 - added tests and docs for this
3551 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3552 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3553 - added test for this
3556 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3557 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3558 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3559 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3561 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3562 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3565 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3567 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3568 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3569 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3572 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3573 !! for this developer release to work !!
3575 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3576 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3577 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3578 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3579 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3580 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3581 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3582 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3583 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3584 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3585 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3587 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3588 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3589 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3590 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3593 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3595 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3596 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3597 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3599 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3601 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3602 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3605 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3606 called unless they actually need to be.
3607 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3608 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3609 DEMOLISH method present.
3611 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3612 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3613 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3614 type constraint, which allows for a
3615 hand optimized version of the type
3616 constraint to be used when possible.
3617 - Any internally created type constraints
3618 now provide an optimized version as well.
3620 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3622 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3623 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3624 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3626 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3627 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3628 your class namespace of these exported
3631 * Moose::Meta::Class
3632 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3633 comes up during global destruction
3635 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3639 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3642 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3643 - changed how we do type checks so that
3644 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3647 - moved accessor generation methods to
3648 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3649 conform to the API changes from
3652 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3653 - changed how constraints are compiled
3654 so that we do less recursion and more
3655 iteration. This makes the type check
3657 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3660 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3661 - created this from methods formerly found in
3662 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3664 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3665 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3668 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3670 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3671 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3673 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3675 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3676 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3677 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3678 - added tests for this
3679 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3680 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3681 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3682 - removed tests for this
3684 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3686 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3687 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3688 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3691 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3692 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3693 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3695 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3696 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3697 comments for more info.
3700 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3701 asked questions and common problems
3703 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3704 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3705 - added tests for this
3707 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3708 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3709 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3710 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3712 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3713 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3716 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3717 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3718 is much appreciated :)
3719 - added tests for this
3721 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3722 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3723 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3727 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3729 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3731 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3732 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3736 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3737 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3738 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3740 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3742 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3745 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3746 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3747 keywords because we need to localize them.
3748 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3750 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3751 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3752 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3755 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3758 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3759 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3760 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3763 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3764 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3765 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3767 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3769 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3770 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3771 bottom of your class file.
3774 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3777 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3779 - improved error message when loading modules so
3780 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3781 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3782 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3785 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3786 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3787 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3789 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3790 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3792 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3793 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3794 turn them on for you.
3795 - added tests for this
3796 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3797 in Moose::Meta::Class

3824 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3825 - This release works in combination with
3826 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3827 release because it uses the a new
3828 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3829 complete Role implementation. It has
3830 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3831 the the previous CPAN version. This
3832 release also lacks good updated docs,
3833 the official release will have updated docs.
3836 - refactored the keyword exports
3837 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3838 accepts more than one Role at a time

3844 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3845 accepts more than one Role at a time
3847 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3849 string enumerations which can be used as
3851 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3854 - more careful checking of params to new()
3857 - much work done on the role composition
3858 - many new tests for conflict detection
3859 and composition edge cases
3860 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3861 looking at the tests
3863 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3864 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3865 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3867 * Moose::Meta::Class

3875 - some small changes to support the new
3877 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3878 with the 'handles' option

3886 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3887 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3888 on a per-attribute basis
3889 - added tests for this
3890 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3891 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3892 experimental feature and probably not finished
