1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
9 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
13 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
14 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
15 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
16 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
17 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
22 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
23 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
24 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
25 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
27 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
28 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
29 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
31 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
32 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
33 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
34 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
36 * Fixed two memory leaks: One occurred when a given role was applied to
37 the same object more than once; attempting to do this is now a no-op. The
38 other occurred when creating an anonymous class. Note that the
39 immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory, as the anon class
40 will never be destroyed in this case. Based on code and bug report from
41 Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
43 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
47 * Minor documentation fixes.
49 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
52 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
56 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
57 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
59 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
63 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
65 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
69 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
74 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
78 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
80 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
81 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
85 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
86 more values were required. (rjbs)
88 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
92 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
93 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
97 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
98 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
99 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
100 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
102 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
103 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
104 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
106 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
107 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
110 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
111 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
112 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
113 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
117 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
118 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
119 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
120 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
123 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
127 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
128 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
129 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
131 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
132 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
133 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
135 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
136 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
137 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
139 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
140 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
143 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
144 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
145 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
147 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
148 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
151 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
152 the associated stash. (doy)
156 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
157 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
158 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
159 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
161 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
165 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
166 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
167 the attribute's reference.
171 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
172 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
177 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
178 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
179 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
182 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
183 the Object constraint).
185 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
189 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
190 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
195 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
197 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
201 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
204 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
206 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
210 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
212 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
216 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
219 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
220 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
221 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
223 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
226 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
230 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
232 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
236 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
238 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
242 * Include changes from 2.0010.
244 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
248 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
249 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
253 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
254 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
255 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
260 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
262 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
266 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
267 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
269 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
273 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
275 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
279 * Various packaging issues.
281 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
285 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
286 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
291 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
292 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
293 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
297 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
298 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
299 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
301 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
305 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
306 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
308 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
312 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
313 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
315 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
318 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
319 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
323 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
324 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
326 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
330 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
331 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
335 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
337 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
341 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
343 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
347 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
348 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
350 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
354 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
356 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
360 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
362 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
363 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
365 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
369 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
370 skips every other role. (rjbs)
372 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
373 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
374 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
375 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
376 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
378 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
382 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
383 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
384 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
387 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
392 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
394 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
395 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
397 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
401 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
402 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
403 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
407 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
408 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
410 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
411 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
413 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
414 environments. (doy, mateu)
416 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
420 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
421 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
422 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
423 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
427 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
428 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
430 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
434 * Update conflicts list.
437 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
441 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
442 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
443 details. (Dave Rolsky)
445 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
446 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
447 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
448 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
449 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
453 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
454 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
455 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
456 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
457 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
460 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
464 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
465 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
467 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
470 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
474 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
475 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
476 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
477 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
479 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
480 immutable classes). (mo)
482 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
483 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
484 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
486 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
490 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
492 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
494 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
498 * Fix some indexing issues.
500 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
502 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
506 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
507 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
508 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
509 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
510 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
512 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
513 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
518 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
519 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
520 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
521 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
523 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
524 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
525 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
529 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
530 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
533 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
537 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
538 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
542 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
546 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
547 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
548 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
549 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
552 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
556 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
559 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
563 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
564 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
565 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
568 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
572 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
573 policy. (Chris Prather)
575 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
576 on this new support policy. (doy)
580 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
581 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
582 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
584 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
585 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
587 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
591 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
592 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
593 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
594 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
597 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
601 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
602 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
605 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
609 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
610 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
612 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
613 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
617 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
618 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
619 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
620 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
621 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
622 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
624 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
625 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
627 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
628 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
629 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
630 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
632 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
633 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
635 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
640 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
641 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
643 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
647 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
648 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
649 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
651 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
655 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
656 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
657 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
659 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
660 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
663 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
664 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
667 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
668 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
669 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
671 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
672 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
677 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
678 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
679 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
680 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
682 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
683 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
685 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
686 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
688 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
689 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
690 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
691 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
693 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
694 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
695 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
698 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
699 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
700 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
701 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
703 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
704 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
707 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
708 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
709 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
711 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
715 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
716 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
717 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
719 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
720 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
721 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
724 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
725 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
726 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
728 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
729 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
730 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
732 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
733 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
737 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
738 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
739 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
741 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
742 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
743 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
744 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
746 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
750 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
751 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
752 value is a reference.
754 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
755 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
757 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
761 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
762 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
763 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
765 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
769 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
770 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
774 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
775 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
776 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
778 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
779 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
780 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
782 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
786 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
788 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
792 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
794 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
795 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
800 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
801 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
803 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
804 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
805 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
806 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
807 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
809 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
810 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
811 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
812 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
814 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
818 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
819 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
824 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
826 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
828 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
833 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
835 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
839 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
840 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
841 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
843 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
844 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
845 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
846 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
848 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
849 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
850 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
851 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
852 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
855 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
860 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
861 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
862 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
863 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
864 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
867 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
871 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
874 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
875 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
879 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
880 function (not just method). (doy)
884 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
885 and aren't easily installable/testable.
887 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
891 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
892 to be overridden more easily (doy).
894 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
898 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
899 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
901 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
905 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
906 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
907 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
909 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
913 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
914 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
915 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
917 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
918 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
922 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
923 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
925 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
926 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
930 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
931 is applied to a class (t0m).
933 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
934 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
936 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
939 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
940 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
942 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
943 be much more robust. (doy)
945 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
947 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
950 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
954 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
955 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
957 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
961 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
962 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
964 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
967 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
968 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
969 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
971 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
972 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
973 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
976 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
978 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
982 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
983 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
987 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
989 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
993 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
994 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
998 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
999 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1003 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1005 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1009 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1010 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1014 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1015 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1019 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1020 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1022 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1026 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1027 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1028 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1031 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1035 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1036 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1037 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1038 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1040 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1044 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1045 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1046 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1050 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1051 (Michael G. Schwern)
1053 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1057 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1058 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1059 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1063 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1064 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1066 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1067 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1068 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1069 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1071 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1075 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1079 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1080 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1082 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1083 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1084 - Moose::Util::does_role
1085 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1086 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1087 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1089 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1093 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1094 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1095 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1098 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1102 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1103 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1106 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1110 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1111 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1114 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1118 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1120 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1121 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1123 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1124 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1125 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1127 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1128 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1129 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1132 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1133 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1135 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1136 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1137 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1139 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1141 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1142 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1144 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1146 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1149 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1150 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1152 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1153 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1155 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1156 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1157 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1158 dependencies installed.
1160 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1161 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1164 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1166 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1170 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1172 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1173 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1174 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1176 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1177 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1178 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1180 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1181 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1184 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1185 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1186 others. (nothingmuch)
1188 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1189 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1190 remove_accessors. (doy)
1192 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1193 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1194 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1197 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1199 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1201 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1202 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Class
1205 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1206 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1209 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1211 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1213 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1214 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1218 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1219 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1220 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1221 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1223 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1226 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1227 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1228 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1229 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1232 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1233 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1234 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1235 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1236 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1238 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1239 which were not receiving the value of
1240 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1241 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1242 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1243 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1247 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1248 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1249 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1250 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1251 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1254 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1255 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1256 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1257 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1259 * Moose::Meta::Class
1260 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1261 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1262 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1265 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1267 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1270 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1271 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1274 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1275 class if you pass it options for
1276 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1277 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1278 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1279 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1280 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1281 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1282 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1283 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1284 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1286 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1287 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1288 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1289 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1290 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1293 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1295 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1296 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1299 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1300 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1301 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1302 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1303 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1306 * Moose::Error::Croak
1307 * Moose::Error::Confess
1308 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1309 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1312 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1315 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1316 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1317 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1319 * Moose::Meta::Class
1320 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1323 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1324 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1325 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1327 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1328 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1329 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1330 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1331 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1333 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1334 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1337 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1339 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1340 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1343 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1344 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1347 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1348 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1349 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1352 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1353 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1354 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1355 using it for new code!
1357 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1358 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1359 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1360 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1362 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1363 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1364 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1365 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1366 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1367 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1368 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1369 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1372 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1375 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1376 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1380 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1382 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1383 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1384 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1386 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1388 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1389 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1391 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1392 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1393 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1396 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1397 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1400 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1402 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1403 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1404 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1405 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1407 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1409 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1412 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1413 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1414 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1416 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1417 associated_methods. (hdp)
1418 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1419 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1420 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1421 misspelled) arguments
1423 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1424 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1425 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1426 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1428 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1430 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1432 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1435 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1436 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1437 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1440 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1441 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1443 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1444 * Moose::Meta::Class
1445 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1446 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1448 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1449 * Moose::Manual::Types
1450 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1451 string parsing rathole (mst)
1453 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1454 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1455 using plain objects instead
1457 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1458 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1459 that's what we need.
1461 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1462 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1463 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1464 three times today (perigrin)
1465 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1466 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1469 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1470 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1471 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1474 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1475 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1476 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1477 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1478 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1479 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1482 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1483 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1484 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1485 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1488 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1490 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1493 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1495 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1498 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1499 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1500 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1504 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1505 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1508 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1509 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1511 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1512 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1513 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1515 * Moose::Unsweetened
1516 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1518 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1519 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1522 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1526 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1527 methods during global destruction (doy)
1529 * Moose::Meta::Class
1530 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1531 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1532 consumption (Sartak)
1534 * Moose::Meta::Class
1535 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1536 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1539 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1540 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1543 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1544 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1546 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1548 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1552 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1553 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1554 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1557 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1558 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1559 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1562 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1564 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1565 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1566 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1569 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1570 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1571 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1572 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1574 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1575 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1576 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1579 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1582 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1583 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1584 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1588 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1589 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1591 * Moose::Meta::Class
1592 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1594 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1596 * Moose::Meta::Class
1597 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1598 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1601 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1602 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1605 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1606 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1609 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1612 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1615 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1618 * Moose::Meta::Class
1619 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1621 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1622 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1625 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1626 * More deprecations and renamings
1627 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1628 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1629 when an object is constructed)
1632 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1633 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1634 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1636 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1637 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1638 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1639 feature, and it works again.
1642 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1644 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1646 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1647 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1648 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1651 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1652 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1653 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1654 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1656 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1657 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1658 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1659 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1660 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1663 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1664 metaclass object. (hdp)
1666 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1667 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1668 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1669 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1670 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1671 point out this fact. (hdp)
1673 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1674 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1676 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1677 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1679 * Moose::Meta::Class
1680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1681 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1682 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1683 called during instance construction were passed the
1684 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1685 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1687 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1688 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1691 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1692 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1693 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1696 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1697 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1698 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1699 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1700 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1702 - Moose::Meta::Class
1703 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1705 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1706 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1707 when an object is constructed)
1708 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1710 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1711 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1712 when an object is constructed)
1713 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1714 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1715 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1718 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1720 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1721 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1723 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1725 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1726 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1727 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1730 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1731 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1733 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1735 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1736 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1738 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1739 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1742 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1743 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1746 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1747 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1748 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1750 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1751 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1755 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1756 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1757 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1759 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1760 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1763 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1764 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1765 with recommended workarounds.
1767 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1768 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1770 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1771 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1772 (yes, spelled like that).
1774 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1775 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1777 * Moose::Meta::Class
1778 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1779 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1781 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1784 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1785 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1786 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1787 instead. Reported by doy.
1789 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1791 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1792 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1794 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1795 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1796 message) is now deprecated.
1797 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1798 often got it wrong. For example:
1800 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1802 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1806 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1807 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1808 bite you in weird cases.
1810 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1811 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1812 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1813 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1815 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1816 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1820 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1823 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1824 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1828 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1831 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1834 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1835 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1836 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1837 - added tests for this (stevan)
1839 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1840 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1841 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1842 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1846 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1847 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1848 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1849 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1851 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1852 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1853 - added tests for this (rafl)
1855 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1856 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1857 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1858 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1862 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1863 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1866 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1867 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1868 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1870 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1872 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1873 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1875 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1876 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1877 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1878 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1879 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1881 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1882 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1883 error message did not specify the attribute name
1886 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1888 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1890 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1891 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1892 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1894 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1895 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1898 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1900 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1901 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1902 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1903 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1905 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1907 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1908 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1909 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1910 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1912 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1913 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1914 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1916 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1917 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1918 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1919 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1920 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1922 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1923 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1924 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1925 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1926 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1929 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1930 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1931 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1932 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1933 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1935 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1936 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1937 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1938 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1939 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1940 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1943 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1945 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1946 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1947 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1948 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1950 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1951 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1954 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1958 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1959 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1961 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1962 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1963 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1964 guts. (nothingmuch).
1966 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1967 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1968 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1971 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1972 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1973 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1975 * Moose::Meta::Class
1976 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1979 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1980 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1982 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1983 * Moose::Unsweetened
1984 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1987 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1988 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1989 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1990 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1991 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1992 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1994 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1995 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1996 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1997 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1998 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1999 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2000 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2001 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2002 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2003 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2005 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2007 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2008 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2010 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2011 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2012 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2013 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2015 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2016 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2017 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2018 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2019 same methods for a single role did not work
2020 right (worked just fine with multiple
2022 - added test for this (stevan)
2024 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2025 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2026 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2029 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2030 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2031 - added test for this (t0m)
2034 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2035 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2036 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2038 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2039 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2040 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2041 - added test for this (t0m)
2043 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2044 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2045 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2046 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2047 - added test for this (perigrin)
2050 - create method for constructing a role
2051 dynamically (Sartak)
2052 - added test for this (Sartak)
2053 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2054 - added test for this (Sartak)
2057 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2059 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2060 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2061 methods is useful (Sartak)
2063 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2065 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2068 * Moose::Meta::Class
2069 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2070 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2071 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2072 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2073 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2074 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2077 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2078 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2080 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2081 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2082 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2083 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2084 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2086 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2088 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2089 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2090 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2093 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2094 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2095 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2096 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2097 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2098 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2102 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2103 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2104 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2105 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2106 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2107 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2108 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2109 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2110 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2111 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2113 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2114 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2118 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2119 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2120 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2121 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2123 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2125 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2126 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2127 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2129 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2130 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2132 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2133 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2134 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2135 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2138 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2139 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2141 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2143 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2144 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2146 * Moose::Meta::Class
2147 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2148 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2149 a required attribute
2151 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2152 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2153 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2154 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2156 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2157 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2159 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2160 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2161 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2162 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2163 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2164 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2165 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2166 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2168 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2169 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2170 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2172 * Roles and role application
2173 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2174 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2175 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2176 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2177 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2179 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2180 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2183 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2184 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2185 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2186 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2187 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2190 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2191 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2192 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2193 changes in the Moose internals.
2195 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2197 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2201 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2202 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2203 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2205 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2206 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2207 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2208 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2210 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2211 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2212 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2213 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2214 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2215 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2216 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2217 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2218 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2219 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2220 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2221 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2222 constraint implementations.
2224 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2228 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2229 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2230 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2231 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2232 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2233 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2234 - added tests for this (rafl)
2236 * Moose::Meta::Class
2237 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2238 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2239 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2240 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2241 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2242 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2243 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2244 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2247 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2248 - added tests for this (thepler)
2250 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2251 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2252 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2253 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2256 * Moose::Meta::Class
2257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2258 * Moose::Meta::Method
2261 * Moose::Error::Default
2262 * Moose::Error::Croak
2263 * Moose::Error::Confess
2264 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2265 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2266 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2267 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2268 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2269 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2271 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2273 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2274 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2276 * Moose::Unsweetened
2277 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2278 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2279 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2281 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2282 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2283 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2284 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2285 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2288 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2289 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2291 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2292 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2293 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2294 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2297 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2299 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2300 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2302 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2305 - Various bug fixes.
2307 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2308 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2310 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2312 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2313 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2314 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2315 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2316 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2317 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2319 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2320 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2321 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2323 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2324 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2325 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2328 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2329 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2330 dependency to 0.64_07.
2332 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2333 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2334 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2336 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2337 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2340 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2341 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2342 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2343 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2344 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2345 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2347 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2348 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2350 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2352 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2353 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2357 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2358 method when that method was provided by another role being
2359 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2360 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2362 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2364 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2365 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2368 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2369 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2370 - added test for this (t0m)
2372 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2373 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2374 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2376 - added test for this (t0m)
2379 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2380 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2381 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2384 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2385 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2387 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2389 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2390 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2392 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2393 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2394 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2396 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2397 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2400 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2401 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2402 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2403 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2407 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2408 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2409 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2412 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2413 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2414 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2415 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2418 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2422 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2423 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2424 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2426 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2427 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2428 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2429 created so that the process can be more easily
2430 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2434 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2435 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2438 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)

2442 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2444 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2445 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2446 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2448 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2449 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2450 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2452 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2453 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2455 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2456 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2459 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2460 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2464 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2465 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2467 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2468 ... this is not my day today ...
2470 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2471 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2472 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2473 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2474 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2477 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2478 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2479 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2480 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2481 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2484 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2486 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2487 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2488 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2489 this is not ever something you want to do
2490 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2491 - added tests for this (stevan)
2494 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2496 - added test for this
2498 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2499 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2500 - added tests for this (wreis)
2502 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2503 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2504 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2505 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2507 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2508 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2509 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2512 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2514 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2516 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2519 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2520 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2521 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2522 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2523 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2524 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2525 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2526 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2527 - added tests for this
2529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2530 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2531 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2532 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2534 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2537 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2538 - added tests for this (sartak)
2539 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2540 install_delegation method (Stevan)

2550 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2551 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2553 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2555 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2564 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2565 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2567 - added docs for this (TODO).
2568 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2569 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2570 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

2588 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2589 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2590 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2593 - move the ClassName type check code to
2594 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2596 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2597 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2599 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2600 (early morning release engineering)--
2602 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2603 which was causing the indexer to choke
2605 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2606 (late night release engineering)--
2608 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2609 changes in this release
2611 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2612 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2613 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2615 * Moose::Meta::Class
2616 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2617 since it is called so often by &meta
2619 * Moose::Meta::Class
2621 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2622 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2625 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2626 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2627 method for immutablization to check if the
2628 destructor object even needs to be created
2631 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2632 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2633 - added more descriptive error message to help
2634 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2635 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2637 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2639 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2640 XS based functionality is now optional
2641 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2642 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2643 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2645 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2646 to take care of this, mostly we added
2647 support for the package_name and name
2648 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2649 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2650 support regexp matching of names
2651 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2652 - tests added for this
2653 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2654 is currently not supported in roles,
2655 but, ... patches welcome
2656 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2657 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2658 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2661 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2662 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2663 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2664 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2665 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2666 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2667 - added test for this
2669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2670 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2671 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2674 * Moose::Meta::Class
2675 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2679 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2681 - added tests for this
2682 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2683 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2685 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2686 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2687 themselves parameterizable types
2689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2690 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2691 called by the inlined immutable
2693 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2695 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2696 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2697 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2698 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2700 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2701 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2705 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2706 causing occasional cpantester failures
2707 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2708 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2710 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2712 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2713 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2716 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2717 ->body when looping through the
2718 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2720 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2721 eating the $@ values, and so not
2722 working correctly, it still kind of
2723 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2724 - added tests for this
2726 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2727 - added new recipe for immutable
2728 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2730 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2731 - added new recipe for builder and
2732 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2734 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2735 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2736 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2739 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2741 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2742 since Module::Install has done that.
2744 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2746 drink more coffee before
2747 doing release engineering
2749 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2750 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2751 modules. This fixes that.
2753 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2754 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2755 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2757 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2758 since we have tests which need the C3
2761 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2762 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2764 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2765 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2767 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2768 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2769 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2770 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2776 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2777 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2779 * Moose::Meta::Class
2780 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2781 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2783 - added test for this
2785 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2786 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling

2864 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2866 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2867 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2910 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2911 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3157 - added tests for this
3160 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3161 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3203 - fixed how required methods are handled
3204 when they encounter overriden or modified
3205 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3206 - added tests for this
3208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3209 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3210 the | always creates a union and so is
3211 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3212 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

3216 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3219 * Parameterized Types
3220 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3221 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3222 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3223 They can also be nested:
3224 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3225 And work with the type unions as well:
3226 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3228 * Better Framework Extendability
3229 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3230 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3231 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3232 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3235 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3236 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3237 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3238 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3454 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3455 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3458 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3459 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3460 - added tests for this
3461 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3462 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3463 functions to facilitate introspection.
3465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3466 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3467 to build the list of delegated methods
3468 correctly (and not override important
3469 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3471 - added tests and docs for this
3472 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3473 so that you can actually document your
3474 attributes and inspect them through the
3476 - added tests and docs for this
3478 * Moose::Meta::Class
3479 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3480 it will first look in for the class in the
3481 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3482 then default to just loading $name.
3483 - added tests and docs for this
3485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3486 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3487 - added test for this
3490 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3491 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3492 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3493 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3495 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3496 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3499 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3501 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3502 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3503 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3506 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3507 !! for this developer release to work !!
3509 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3510 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3511 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3512 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3513 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3514 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3515 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3516 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3517 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3518 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3519 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3521 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3522 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3523 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3524 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3527 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3528 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3529 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3530 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3531 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3533 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3535 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3536 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3539 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3540 called unless they actually need to be.
3541 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3542 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3543 DEMOLISH method present.
3545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3546 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3547 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3548 type constraint, which allows for a
3549 hand optimized version of the type
3550 constraint to be used when possible.
3551 - Any internally created type constraints
3552 now provide an optimized version as well.
3554 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3556 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3557 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3558 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3560 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3561 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3562 your class namespace of these exported
3565 * Moose::Meta::Class
3566 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3567 comes up during global destruction
3569 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3573 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3576 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3577 - changed how we do type checks so that
3578 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3581 - moved accessor generation methods to
3582 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3583 conform to the API changes from
3586 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3587 - changed how constraints are compiled
3588 so that we do less recursion and more
3589 iteration. This makes the type check
3591 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3595 - created this from methods formerly found in
3596 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3598 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3599 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3602 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3604 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3605 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3607 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3609 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3610 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3611 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3612 - added tests for this
3613 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3614 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3615 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3616 - removed tests for this
3618 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3620 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3621 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3622 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3625 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3626 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3627 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3629 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3630 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3631 comments for more info.
3634 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3635 asked questions and common problems
3637 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3638 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3639 - added tests for this
3641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3642 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3643 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3644 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3646 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3647 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3650 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3651 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3652 is much appreciated :)
3653 - added tests for this
3655 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3656 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3657 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3661 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3663 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3665 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3666 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3670 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3671 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3672 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3674 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3676 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3679 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3680 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3681 keywords because we need to localize them.
3682 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3684 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3685 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3686 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3689 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3692 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3693 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3694 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3697 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3698 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3699 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3701 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3703 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3704 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3705 bottom of your class file.
3708 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3711 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3713 - improved error message when loading modules so
3714 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3715 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3716 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3719 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3720 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3721 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3723 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3724 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3726 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3727 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3728 turn them on for you.
3729 - added tests for this
3730 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3731 in Moose::Meta::Class

3758 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3759 - This release works in combination with
3760 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3761 release because it uses the a new
3762 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3763 complete Role implementation. It has
3764 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3765 the the previous CPAN version. This
3766 release also lacks good updated docs,
3767 the official release will have updated docs.
3770 - refactored the keyword exports
3771 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3772 accepts more than one Role at a time
3773 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3774 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility

3778 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3779 accepts more than one Role at a time
3781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3782 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3783 string enumerations which can be used as
3785 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3788 - more careful checking of params to new()
3791 - much work done on the role composition
3792 - many new tests for conflict detection
3793 and composition edge cases
3794 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3795 looking at the tests
3797 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3798 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3799 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3801 * Moose::Meta::Class

3804 - some small additions to support Roles
3806 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3807 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3809 - some small changes to support the new
3811 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3812 with the 'handles' option
3813 - added several tests for this
3814 - no docs for this yet
3816 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3818 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3819 thanks to chansen for this commit
3820 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3821 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3822 on a per-attribute basis
3823 - added tests for this
3824 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3825 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3826 experimental feature and probably not finished

3828 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3829 - added tests for this

3891 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3893 - added test for this
