1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
10 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
14 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
15 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
19 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
20 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
21 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
22 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
25 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
26 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
28 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
29 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
32 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
33 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
34 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
35 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
39 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
40 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
41 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
42 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
45 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
49 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
50 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
53 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
54 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
57 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
58 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
59 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
61 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
62 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
65 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
66 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
67 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
69 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
70 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
73 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
74 the associated stash. (doy)
78 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
79 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
80 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
81 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
83 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
87 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
88 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
89 the attribute's reference.
93 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
94 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
99 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
100 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
101 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
104 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
105 the Object constraint).
107 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
111 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
112 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
117 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
119 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
123 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
126 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
128 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
132 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
134 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
138 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
141 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
142 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
143 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
145 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
148 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
152 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
154 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
158 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
160 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
164 * Include changes from 2.0010.
166 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
170 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
171 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
175 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
176 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
177 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
182 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
184 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
188 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
189 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
191 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
195 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
197 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
201 * Various packaging issues.
203 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
207 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
208 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
213 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
214 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
215 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
219 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
220 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
221 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
223 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
227 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
228 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
230 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
234 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
235 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
237 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
240 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
241 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
245 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
246 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
248 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
252 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
253 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
257 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
259 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
263 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
265 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
269 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
270 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
272 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
276 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
278 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
282 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
284 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
285 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
287 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
291 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
292 skips every other role. (rjbs)
294 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
295 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
296 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
297 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
298 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
300 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
304 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
305 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
306 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
309 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
314 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
316 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
317 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
319 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
323 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
324 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
325 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
329 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
330 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
332 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
333 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
335 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
336 environments. (doy, mateu)
338 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
342 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
343 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
344 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
345 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
349 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
350 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
352 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
356 * Update conflicts list.
359 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
363 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
364 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
365 details. (Dave Rolsky)
367 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
368 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
369 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
370 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
371 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
375 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
376 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
377 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
378 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
379 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
382 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
386 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
387 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
389 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
392 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
396 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
397 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
398 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
399 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
401 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
402 immutable classes). (mo)
404 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
405 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
406 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
408 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
412 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
414 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
416 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
420 * Fix some indexing issues.
422 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
424 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
428 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
429 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
430 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
431 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
432 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
434 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
435 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
440 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
441 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
442 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
443 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
445 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
446 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
447 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
451 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
452 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
455 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
459 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
460 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
464 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
468 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
469 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
470 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
471 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
474 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
478 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
481 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
485 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
486 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
487 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
490 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
494 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
495 policy. (Chris Prather)
497 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
498 on this new support policy. (doy)
502 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
503 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
504 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
506 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
507 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
509 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
513 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
514 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
515 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
516 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
519 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
523 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
524 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
527 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
531 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
532 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
534 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
535 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
539 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
540 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
541 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
542 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
543 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
544 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
546 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
547 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
549 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
550 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
551 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
552 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
554 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
555 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
557 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
562 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
563 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
565 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
569 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
570 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
571 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
573 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
577 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
578 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
579 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
581 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
582 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
585 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
586 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
589 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
590 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
591 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
593 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
594 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
599 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
600 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
601 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
602 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
604 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
605 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
607 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
608 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
610 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
611 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
612 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
613 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
615 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
616 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
617 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
620 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
621 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
622 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
623 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
625 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
626 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
629 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
630 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
631 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
633 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
637 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
638 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
639 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
641 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
642 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
643 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
646 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
647 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
648 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
650 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
651 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
652 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
654 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
655 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
659 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
660 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
661 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
663 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
664 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
665 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
666 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
668 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
672 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
673 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
674 value is a reference.
676 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
677 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
679 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
683 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
684 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
685 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
687 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
691 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
692 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
696 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
697 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
698 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
700 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
701 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
702 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
704 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
708 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
710 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
714 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
716 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
717 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
722 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
723 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
725 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
726 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
727 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
728 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
729 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
731 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
732 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
733 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
734 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
736 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
740 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
741 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
746 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
748 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
750 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
755 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
757 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
761 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
762 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
763 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
765 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
766 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
767 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
768 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
770 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
771 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
772 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
773 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
774 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
777 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
782 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
783 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
784 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
785 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
786 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
789 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
793 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
796 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
797 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
801 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
802 function (not just method). (doy)
806 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
807 and aren't easily installable/testable.
809 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
813 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
814 to be overridden more easily (doy).
816 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
820 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
821 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
823 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
827 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
828 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
829 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
831 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
835 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
836 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
837 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
839 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
840 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
844 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
845 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
847 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
848 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
852 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
853 is applied to a class (t0m).
855 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
856 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
858 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
861 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
862 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
864 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
865 be much more robust. (doy)
867 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
869 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
872 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
876 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
877 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
879 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
883 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
884 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
886 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
889 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
890 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
891 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
893 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
894 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
895 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
898 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
900 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
904 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
905 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
909 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
911 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
916 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
920 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
921 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
925 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
927 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
931 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
932 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
936 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
937 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
941 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
942 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
944 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
948 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
949 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
950 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
953 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
957 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
958 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
959 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
960 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
962 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
966 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
967 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
968 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
972 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
975 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
980 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
981 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
985 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
986 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
988 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
989 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
990 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
991 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
993 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
997 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1001 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1002 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1004 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1005 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1006 - Moose::Util::does_role
1007 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1008 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1009 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1011 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1015 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1016 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1017 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1024 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1025 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1028 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1032 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1033 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1036 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1040 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1042 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1043 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1045 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1046 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1047 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1049 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1050 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1051 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1054 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1055 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1057 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1058 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1059 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1061 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1063 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1064 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1066 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1068 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1071 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1072 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1074 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1075 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1077 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1078 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1079 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1080 dependencies installed.
1082 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1083 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1086 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1088 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1092 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1094 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1095 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1096 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1098 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1099 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1100 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1102 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1103 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1106 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1107 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1108 others. (nothingmuch)
1110 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1111 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1112 remove_accessors. (doy)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1115 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1116 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1119 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1121 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1122 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1123 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1124 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Class
1127 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1128 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1131 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1133 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1135 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1136 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1139 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1140 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1141 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1142 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1143 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1145 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1146 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1147 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1148 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1149 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1150 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1151 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1154 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1155 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1156 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1157 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1158 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1160 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1161 which were not receiving the value of
1162 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1163 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1164 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1165 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1169 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1170 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1171 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1172 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1173 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1176 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1177 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1178 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1179 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1181 * Moose::Meta::Class
1182 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1183 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1184 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1187 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1189 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1191 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1192 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1193 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1196 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1197 class if you pass it options for
1198 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1199 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1200 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1201 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1202 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1203 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1204 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1205 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1206 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1209 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1210 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1211 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1212 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1215 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1217 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1218 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1221 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1222 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1223 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1224 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1225 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1228 * Moose::Error::Croak
1229 * Moose::Error::Confess
1230 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1231 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1234 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1237 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1238 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1239 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1241 * Moose::Meta::Class
1242 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1245 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1246 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1247 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1249 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1250 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1251 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1252 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1253 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1256 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1259 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1261 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1262 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1265 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1266 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1268 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1269 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1270 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1271 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1273 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1274 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1275 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1276 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1277 using it for new code!
1279 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1280 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1281 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1282 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1284 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1285 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1286 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1287 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1288 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1289 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1290 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1291 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1294 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1297 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1298 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1302 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1305 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1306 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1308 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1310 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1311 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1313 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1314 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1315 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1318 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1319 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1322 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1324 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1325 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1326 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1327 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1329 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1331 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1334 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1335 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1336 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1338 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1339 associated_methods. (hdp)
1340 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1341 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1342 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1343 misspelled) arguments
1345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1346 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1347 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1348 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1350 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1351 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1352 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1354 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1358 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1359 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1362 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1363 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1365 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1366 * Moose::Meta::Class
1367 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1368 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1370 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1371 * Moose::Manual::Types
1372 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1373 string parsing rathole (mst)
1375 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1376 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1377 using plain objects instead
1379 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1380 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1381 that's what we need.
1383 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1384 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1385 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1386 three times today (perigrin)
1387 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1388 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1390 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1391 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1392 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1393 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1396 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1397 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1398 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1399 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1400 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1401 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1404 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1405 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1406 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1407 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1410 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1412 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1415 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1417 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1420 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1421 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1422 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1426 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1427 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1430 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1431 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1433 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1434 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1435 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1437 * Moose::Unsweetened
1438 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1440 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1441 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1444 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1448 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1449 methods during global destruction (doy)
1451 * Moose::Meta::Class
1452 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1453 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1454 consumption (Sartak)
1456 * Moose::Meta::Class
1457 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1458 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1461 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1462 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1465 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1466 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.

1470 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1474 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1475 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1476 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1479 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1480 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1481 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1484 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1486 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1487 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1488 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1492 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1493 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1494 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1496 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1497 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1498 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1501 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1504 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1505 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1506 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1510 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1511 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1513 * Moose::Meta::Class
1514 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1516 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1518 * Moose::Meta::Class
1519 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1520 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1523 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1524 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1527 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1528 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1531 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1534 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1536 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1537 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1540 * Moose::Meta::Class
1541 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1543 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1544 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1547 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1548 * More deprecations and renamings
1549 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1550 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1551 when an object is constructed)
1554 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1555 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1556 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1558 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1559 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1560 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1561 feature, and it works again.
1564 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1566 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1568 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1569 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1570 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1572 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1573 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1574 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1575 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1576 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1579 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1580 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1581 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1582 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1585 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1586 metaclass object. (hdp)
1588 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1589 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1591 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1592 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1593 point out this fact. (hdp)
1595 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1596 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1598 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1599 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1601 * Moose::Meta::Class
1602 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1603 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1604 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1605 called during instance construction were passed the
1606 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1607 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1609 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1610 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1613 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1614 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1615 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1618 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1619 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1620 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1621 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1622 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1624 - Moose::Meta::Class
1625 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1627 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1628 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1629 when an object is constructed)
1630 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1632 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1633 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1634 when an object is constructed)
1635 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1636 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1637 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1640 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1642 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1643 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1645 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1647 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1648 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1649 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1651 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1652 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1653 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1655 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1657 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1658 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1661 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1664 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1665 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1668 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1669 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1670 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1673 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1677 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1678 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1679 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1681 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1682 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1685 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1686 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1687 with recommended workarounds.
1689 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1690 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1693 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1694 (yes, spelled like that).
1696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1697 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1699 * Moose::Meta::Class
1700 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1701 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1703 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1705 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1706 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1707 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1708 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1709 instead. Reported by doy.
1711 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1713 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1714 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1716 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1717 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1718 message) is now deprecated.
1719 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1720 often got it wrong. For example:
1722 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1724 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1728 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1729 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1730 bite you in weird cases.
1732 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1734 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1735 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1738 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1742 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1745 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1746 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1749 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1750 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1753 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1756 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1758 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1759 - added tests for this (stevan)
1761 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1762 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1763 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1764 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1768 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1769 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1770 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1771 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1773 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1774 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1775 - added tests for this (rafl)
1777 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1778 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1779 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1780 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1784 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1785 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1788 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1789 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1790 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1792 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1794 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1795 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1797 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1798 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1799 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1800 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1801 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1803 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1804 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1805 error message did not specify the attribute name
1808 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1810 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1812 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1813 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1814 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1817 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1820 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1822 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1823 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1824 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1825 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1827 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1829 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1830 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1831 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1832 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1835 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1836 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1838 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1839 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1840 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1841 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1842 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1845 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1846 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1847 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1848 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1851 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1852 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1853 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1854 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1855 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1857 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1858 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1859 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1860 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1861 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1862 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1865 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1867 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1868 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1869 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1870 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1872 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1873 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1876 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1880 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1881 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1883 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1884 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1885 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1886 guts. (nothingmuch).
1888 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1889 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1890 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1892 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1893 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1894 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1895 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1897 * Moose::Meta::Class
1898 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1901 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1902 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1905 * Moose::Unsweetened
1906 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1909 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1910 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1911 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1912 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1913 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1914 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1916 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1917 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1918 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1919 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1920 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1921 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1922 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1924 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1925 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1927 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1929 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1930 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1932 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1933 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1934 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1935 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1938 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1939 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1940 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1941 same methods for a single role did not work
1942 right (worked just fine with multiple
1944 - added test for this (stevan)
1946 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1947 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1948 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1951 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1952 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1953 - added test for this (t0m)
1956 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1957 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1958 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1960 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1961 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1962 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1963 - added test for this (t0m)
1965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1966 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1967 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1968 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1969 - added test for this (perigrin)
1972 - create method for constructing a role
1973 dynamically (Sartak)
1974 - added test for this (Sartak)
1975 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1976 - added test for this (Sartak)
1979 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1981 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1982 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1983 methods is useful (Sartak)
1985 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1987 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1990 * Moose::Meta::Class
1991 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1992 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1993 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1994 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1995 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1996 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1999 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2000 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2002 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2003 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2004 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2005 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2006 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2010 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2011 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2012 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2015 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2016 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2017 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2018 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2019 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2020 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2023 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2024 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2025 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2026 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2027 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2028 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2029 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2030 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2031 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2032 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2033 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2035 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2036 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2039 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2040 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2041 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2042 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2043 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2045 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2047 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2048 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2049 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2051 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2052 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2054 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2055 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2056 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2057 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2060 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2061 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2063 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2065 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2066 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2068 * Moose::Meta::Class
2069 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2070 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2071 a required attribute
2073 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2074 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2075 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2076 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2078 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2079 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2082 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2083 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2084 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2085 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2086 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2087 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2088 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2090 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2091 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2092 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2094 * Roles and role application
2095 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2096 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2097 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2098 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2099 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2101 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2102 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2105 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2106 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2107 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2108 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2109 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2112 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2113 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2114 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2115 changes in the Moose internals.
2117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2119 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2122 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2123 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2124 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2125 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2127 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2128 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2129 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2130 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2133 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2134 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2135 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2136 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2137 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2138 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2139 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2140 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2141 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2142 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2143 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2144 constraint implementations.
2146 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2150 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2151 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2152 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2153 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2154 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2155 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2156 - added tests for this (rafl)
2158 * Moose::Meta::Class
2159 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2160 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2161 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2162 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2163 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2164 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2165 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2166 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2169 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2170 - added tests for this (thepler)
2172 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2173 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2174 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2175 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2178 * Moose::Meta::Class
2179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2180 * Moose::Meta::Method
2183 * Moose::Error::Default
2184 * Moose::Error::Croak
2185 * Moose::Error::Confess
2186 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2187 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2188 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2189 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2190 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2191 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2193 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2195 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2196 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2198 * Moose::Unsweetened
2199 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2200 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2201 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2204 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2205 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2206 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2207 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2210 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2211 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2213 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2214 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2215 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2216 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2219 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2221 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2222 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2224 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2227 - Various bug fixes.

2232 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2234 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2235 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2236 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2237 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2238 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2239 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2251 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2252 dependency to 0.64_07.
2254 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2255 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2256 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2258 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2259 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2263 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2264 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2265 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2266 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2267 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2269 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2270 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2272 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2274 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2275 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2279 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2280 method when that method was provided by another role being
2281 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2282 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2284 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2291 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2292 - added test for this (t0m)
2294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2295 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2296 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2298 - added test for this (t0m)
2301 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2302 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2303 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2306 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2307 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2309 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2311 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2312 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2314 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2315 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2316 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2318 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2319 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2322 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2323 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2324 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2325 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2329 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2330 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2331 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2334 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2335 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2336 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2337 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2340 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2344 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2345 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2346 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2348 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2349 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2350 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2351 created so that the process can be more easily

2386 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2387 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2389 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2390 ... this is not my day today ...
2392 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2393 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2394 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2395 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2396 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2399 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2400 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2401 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2402 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2403 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2406 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2408 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2409 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2410 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2411 this is not ever something you want to do
2412 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2413 - added tests for this (stevan)
2416 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2418 - added test for this

2427 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2429 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2430 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2431 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2434 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2436 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2438 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2441 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2442 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2443 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2444 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2445 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2446 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2447 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2448 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2449 - added tests for this
2451 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2452 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2453 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2454 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2456 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2525 which was causing the indexer to choke
2527 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2528 (late night release engineering)--
2530 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2531 changes in this release

2544 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2547 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2548 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2549 method for immutablization to check if the
2550 destructor object even needs to be created
2553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2554 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2555 - added more descriptive error message to help
2556 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2557 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2559 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2561 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2562 XS based functionality is now optional
2563 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2564 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2565 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2567 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2568 to take care of this, mostly we added
2569 support for the package_name and name
2570 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2571 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2572 support regexp matching of names
2573 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2574 - tests added for this
2575 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2576 is currently not supported in roles,
2577 but, ... patches welcome
2578 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2579 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2580 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2583 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2584 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2585 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2586 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2587 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2588 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2589 - added test for this
2591 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2592 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2593 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2596 * Moose::Meta::Class
2597 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2601 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2603 - added tests for this
2604 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2605 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)

2613 called by the inlined immutable
2615 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2617 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2618 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2619 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2620 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2622 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2623 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2635 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2638 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2639 ->body when looping through the
2640 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2642 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2643 eating the $@ values, and so not
2644 working correctly, it still kind of
2645 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2646 - added tests for this
2648 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2649 - added new recipe for immutable
2650 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2668 drink more coffee before
2669 doing release engineering
2671 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2705 - added test for this
2707 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2784 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2786 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2788 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2789 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2790 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2791 officially support it.
2792 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2793 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2796 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2797 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2828 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2831 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2832 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2833 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2834 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2836 - added more delegation tests
2837 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2838 support traits and their introspection.
2839 - added tests for this

3079 - added tests for this
3082 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3083 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3126 when they encounter overriden or modified
3127 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3128 - added tests for this
3130 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3131 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3132 the | always creates a union and so is
3133 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3134 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3136 - added more tests for this
3138 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3141 * Parameterized Types
3142 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3143 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3144 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3145 They can also be nested:
3146 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3147 And work with the type unions as well:
3148 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3150 * Better Framework Extendability
3151 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3152 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3153 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3154 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3157 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3158 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3159 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3160 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3395 so that you can actually document your
3396 attributes and inspect them through the

3400 * Moose::Meta::Class
3401 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3402 it will first look in for the class in the
3403 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3404 then default to just loading $name.
3405 - added tests and docs for this
3407 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3408 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3409 - added test for this
3412 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3414 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3415 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3417 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3418 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3421 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3423 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3424 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3425 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3428 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3429 !! for this developer release to work !!
3431 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3432 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3433 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3434 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3435 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3436 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3437 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3438 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3439 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3440 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3441 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3443 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3444 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3445 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3446 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3449 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3451 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3452 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3453 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3455 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3457 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3458 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3461 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3462 called unless they actually need to be.
3463 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3464 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3465 DEMOLISH method present.
3467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3468 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3469 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3470 type constraint, which allows for a
3471 hand optimized version of the type
3472 constraint to be used when possible.
3473 - Any internally created type constraints
3474 now provide an optimized version as well.
3476 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3478 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3479 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3480 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3483 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3484 your class namespace of these exported
3487 * Moose::Meta::Class
3488 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3489 comes up during global destruction
3491 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3495 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3498 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3499 - changed how we do type checks so that
3500 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3503 - moved accessor generation methods to
3504 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3505 conform to the API changes from
3508 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3509 - changed how constraints are compiled
3510 so that we do less recursion and more
3511 iteration. This makes the type check
3513 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3516 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3517 - created this from methods formerly found in
3518 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3520 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3521 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3523 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3524 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3526 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3527 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3529 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3532 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3533 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3534 - added tests for this
3535 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3536 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3537 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3538 - removed tests for this
3540 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3542 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3543 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3544 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3547 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3548 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3549 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3551 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3552 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3553 comments for more info.
3556 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3557 asked questions and common problems
3559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3560 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3561 - added tests for this
3563 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3564 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3565 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3566 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3568 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3569 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3572 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3573 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3574 is much appreciated :)
3575 - added tests for this
3577 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3578 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3579 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3582 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3583 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3585 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3587 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3588 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3592 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3593 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3594 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3596 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3598 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3601 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3602 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3603 keywords because we need to localize them.
3604 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3606 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3607 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3608 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3611 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3614 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3615 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3616 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3619 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3620 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3621 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3623 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3625 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3626 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3627 bottom of your class file.
3630 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3633 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3635 - improved error message when loading modules so
3636 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3637 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3638 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3641 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3642 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3643 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3645 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3646 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3648 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3649 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3650 turn them on for you.
3651 - added tests for this
3652 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3653 in Moose::Meta::Class
3656 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3657 automatically turned on for you.
3658 - added tests for this
3661 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3662 - added tests for this
3663 - added some more edge case tests

3676 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3679 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3680 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3681 - This release works in combination with
3682 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3683 release because it uses the a new
3684 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3685 complete Role implementation. It has
3686 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3687 the the previous CPAN version. This
3688 release also lacks good updated docs,
3689 the official release will have updated docs.
3692 - refactored the keyword exports
3693 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3694 accepts more than one Role at a time
3695 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3696 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3699 - refactored the keyword exports
3700 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3701 accepts more than one Role at a time
3703 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3704 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3705 string enumerations which can be used as
3707 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3710 - more careful checking of params to new()
3713 - much work done on the role composition
3714 - many new tests for conflict detection
3715 and composition edge cases
3716 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3717 looking at the tests
3719 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3720 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3721 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3723 * Moose::Meta::Class
3724 - some small changes to support the new
3726 - some small additions to support Roles
3728 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3729 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3731 - some small changes to support the new
3733 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3734 with the 'handles' option
3735 - added several tests for this
3736 - no docs for this yet
3738 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3740 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3741 thanks to chansen for this commit
3742 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3743 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3744 on a per-attribute basis
3745 - added tests for this
3746 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3747 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3748 experimental feature and probably not finished
3749 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3750 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3751 - added tests for this
3754 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3761 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3762 thanks to chansen for this commit

3765 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to change
3766 construct_instance (for the better)
3768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3769 - due to changes in Class::MOP, we had to add the
3770 initialize_instance_slot method (it's a good thing)

3773 - added type constraint unions
3774 - added tests for this
3775 - added the is_subtype_of predicate method

3812 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3813 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3815 - added test for this
3818 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3819 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
