1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Minor documentation fixes.
10 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
13 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
17 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
18 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
20 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
24 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
26 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
30 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
32 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
35 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
39 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
41 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
42 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
46 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
47 more values were required. (rjbs)
49 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
53 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
54 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
58 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
59 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
60 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
61 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
63 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
64 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
65 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
67 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
68 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
71 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
72 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
73 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
74 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
78 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
79 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
80 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
81 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
84 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
88 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
89 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
92 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
93 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
96 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
97 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
98 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
100 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
101 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
104 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
105 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
106 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
108 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
109 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
112 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
113 the associated stash. (doy)
117 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
118 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
119 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
120 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
122 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
126 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
127 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
128 the attribute's reference.
132 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
133 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
138 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
139 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
140 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
143 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
144 the Object constraint).
146 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
150 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
151 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
156 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
158 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
162 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
165 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
167 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
171 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
173 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
177 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
180 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
181 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
182 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
184 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
187 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
191 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
193 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
197 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
199 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
203 * Include changes from 2.0010.
205 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
209 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
210 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
214 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
215 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
216 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
221 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
223 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
227 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
228 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
230 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
234 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
236 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
240 * Various packaging issues.
242 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
246 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
247 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
252 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
253 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
254 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
258 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
259 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
260 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
262 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
266 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
267 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
269 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
273 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
274 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
276 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
279 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
280 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
284 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
285 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
287 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
291 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
292 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
296 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
298 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
302 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
304 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
308 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
309 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
311 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
315 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
317 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
321 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
323 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
324 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
326 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
330 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
331 skips every other role. (rjbs)
333 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
334 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
335 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
336 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
337 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
339 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
343 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
344 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
345 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
348 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
353 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
355 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
356 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
358 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
362 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
363 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
364 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
368 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
369 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
371 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
372 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
374 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
375 environments. (doy, mateu)
377 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
381 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
382 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
383 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
384 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
388 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
389 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
391 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
395 * Update conflicts list.
398 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
402 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
403 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
404 details. (Dave Rolsky)
406 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
407 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
408 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
409 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
410 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
414 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
415 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
416 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
417 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
418 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
421 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
425 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
426 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
428 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
431 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
435 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
436 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
437 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
438 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
440 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
441 immutable classes). (mo)
443 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
444 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
445 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
447 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
451 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
453 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
455 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
459 * Fix some indexing issues.
461 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
463 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
467 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
468 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
469 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
470 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
471 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
473 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
474 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
479 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
480 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
481 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
482 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
484 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
485 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
486 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
490 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
491 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
494 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
498 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
499 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
503 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
507 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
508 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
509 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
510 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
513 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
517 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
520 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
524 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
525 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
526 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
529 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
533 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
534 policy. (Chris Prather)
536 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
537 on this new support policy. (doy)
541 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
542 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
543 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
545 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
546 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
548 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
552 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
553 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
554 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
555 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
558 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
562 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
563 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
566 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
570 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
571 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
573 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
574 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
578 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
579 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
580 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
581 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
582 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
583 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
585 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
586 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
588 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
589 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
590 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
591 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
593 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
594 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
596 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
601 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
602 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
604 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
608 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
609 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
610 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
612 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
616 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
617 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
618 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
620 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
621 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
624 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
625 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
628 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
629 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
630 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
632 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
633 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
638 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
639 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
640 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
641 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
643 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
644 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
646 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
647 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
649 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
650 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
651 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
652 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
654 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
655 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
656 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
659 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
660 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
661 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
662 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
664 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
665 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
668 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
669 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
670 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
672 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
676 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
677 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
678 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
680 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
681 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
682 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
685 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
686 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
687 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
689 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
690 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
691 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
693 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
694 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
698 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
699 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
700 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
702 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
703 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
704 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
705 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
707 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
711 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
712 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
713 value is a reference.
715 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
716 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
718 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
722 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
723 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
724 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
726 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
730 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
731 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
735 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
736 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
737 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
739 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
740 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
741 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
743 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
747 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
749 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
753 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
755 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
756 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
761 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
762 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
764 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
765 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
766 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
767 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
768 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
770 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
771 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
772 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
773 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
775 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
779 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
780 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
785 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
787 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
789 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
794 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
796 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
800 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
801 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
802 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
804 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
805 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
806 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
807 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
809 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
810 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
811 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
812 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
813 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
816 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
821 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
822 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
823 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
824 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
825 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
828 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
832 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
835 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
836 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
840 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
841 function (not just method). (doy)
845 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
846 and aren't easily installable/testable.
848 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
852 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
853 to be overridden more easily (doy).
855 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
859 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
860 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
862 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
866 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
867 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
868 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
870 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
874 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
875 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
876 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
878 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
879 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
883 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
884 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
886 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
887 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
891 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
892 is applied to a class (t0m).
894 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
895 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
897 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
900 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
901 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
903 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
904 be much more robust. (doy)
906 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
908 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
911 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
915 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
916 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
918 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
922 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
923 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
925 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
928 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
929 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
930 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
932 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
933 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
934 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
937 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
939 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
943 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
944 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
948 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
950 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
955 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
959 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
960 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
964 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
966 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
970 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
971 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
975 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
976 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
980 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
981 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
983 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
987 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
988 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
989 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
992 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
996 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
997 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
998 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
999 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1001 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1005 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1006 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1007 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1011 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1012 (Michael G. Schwern)
1014 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1018 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1019 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1020 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1024 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1025 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1027 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1028 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1029 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1030 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1032 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1036 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1040 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1041 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1043 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1044 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1045 - Moose::Util::does_role
1046 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1047 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1048 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1050 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1054 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1055 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1056 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1063 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1064 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1067 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1071 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1072 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1075 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1079 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1081 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1082 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1084 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1085 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1086 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1088 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1089 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1090 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1093 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1094 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1096 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1097 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1098 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1100 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1102 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1103 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1105 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1107 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1110 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1111 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1113 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1114 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1116 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1117 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1118 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1119 dependencies installed.
1121 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1122 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1125 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1127 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1131 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1133 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1134 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1135 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1137 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1138 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1139 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1141 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1142 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1145 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1146 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1147 others. (nothingmuch)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1150 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1151 remove_accessors. (doy)
1153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1154 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1155 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1158 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1160 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1161 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1162 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1163 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1165 * Moose::Meta::Class
1166 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1167 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1170 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1172 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1174 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1175 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1178 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1179 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1180 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1181 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1182 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1184 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1186 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1187 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1188 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1189 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1190 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1193 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1194 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1195 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1196 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1197 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1199 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1200 which were not receiving the value of
1201 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1202 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1203 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1204 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1208 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1209 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1210 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1211 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1212 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1216 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1217 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1218 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Class
1221 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1222 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1223 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1226 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1228 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1230 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1231 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1232 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1235 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1236 class if you pass it options for
1237 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1238 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1239 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1240 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1241 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1242 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1243 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1244 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1245 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1247 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1248 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1249 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1250 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1251 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1254 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1255 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1256 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1257 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1260 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1261 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1262 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1263 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1264 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1267 * Moose::Error::Croak
1268 * Moose::Error::Confess
1269 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1270 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1273 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1276 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1277 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1278 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1280 * Moose::Meta::Class
1281 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1284 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1285 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1286 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1288 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1289 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1290 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1291 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1292 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1294 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1295 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1298 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1300 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1301 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1304 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1305 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1309 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1310 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1312 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1313 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1314 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1315 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1316 using it for new code!
1318 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1319 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1320 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1321 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1323 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1324 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1325 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1326 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1327 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1328 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1329 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1330 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1333 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1336 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1337 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1341 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1343 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1344 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1345 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1347 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1348 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1349 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1350 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1352 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1353 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1354 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1357 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1358 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1361 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1363 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1364 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1365 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1366 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1368 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1370 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1373 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1374 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1375 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1377 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1378 associated_methods. (hdp)
1379 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1380 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1381 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1382 misspelled) arguments
1384 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1385 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1386 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1387 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1389 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1391 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1393 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1397 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1398 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1401 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1402 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1404 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1405 * Moose::Meta::Class
1406 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1407 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1409 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1410 * Moose::Manual::Types
1411 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1412 string parsing rathole (mst)
1414 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1415 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1416 using plain objects instead
1418 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1419 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1420 that's what we need.
1422 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1423 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1424 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1425 three times today (perigrin)
1426 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1427 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1429 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1430 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1431 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1432 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1435 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1436 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1437 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1438 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1439 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1440 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1443 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1444 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1445 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1446 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1449 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1451 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1454 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1456 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1459 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1460 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1461 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1465 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1466 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1469 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1470 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1472 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1473 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1474 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1476 * Moose::Unsweetened
1477 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1479 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1480 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1483 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1487 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1488 methods during global destruction (doy)
1490 * Moose::Meta::Class
1491 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1492 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1493 consumption (Sartak)
1495 * Moose::Meta::Class
1496 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1497 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1500 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1501 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1504 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1505 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1507 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1509 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1513 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1514 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1515 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1518 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1519 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1520 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1523 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1525 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1526 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1527 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1530 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1531 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1532 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1533 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1535 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1536 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1537 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1540 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1543 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1544 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1545 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1549 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1550 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1552 * Moose::Meta::Class
1553 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1555 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1557 * Moose::Meta::Class
1558 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1559 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1562 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1563 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1566 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1567 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1570 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1573 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1575 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1576 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1579 * Moose::Meta::Class
1580 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1582 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1583 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1586 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1587 * More deprecations and renamings
1588 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1589 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1590 when an object is constructed)
1593 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1594 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1595 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1597 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1598 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1599 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1600 feature, and it works again.
1603 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1605 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1607 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1608 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1609 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1611 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1612 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1613 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1614 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1615 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1618 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1619 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1620 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1621 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1624 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1625 metaclass object. (hdp)
1627 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1628 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1629 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1630 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1631 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1632 point out this fact. (hdp)
1634 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1635 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1637 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1638 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1640 * Moose::Meta::Class
1641 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1642 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1643 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1644 called during instance construction were passed the
1645 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1646 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1648 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1649 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1652 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1653 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1654 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1657 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1658 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1659 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1660 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1661 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1663 - Moose::Meta::Class
1664 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1666 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1667 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1668 when an object is constructed)
1669 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1671 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1672 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1673 when an object is constructed)
1674 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1675 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1676 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1679 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1681 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1682 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1684 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1686 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1687 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1688 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1691 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1692 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1694 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1696 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1697 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1699 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1700 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1703 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1704 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1707 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1708 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1709 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1711 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1712 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1716 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1717 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1718 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1720 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1721 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1724 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1725 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1726 with recommended workarounds.
1728 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1729 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1731 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1732 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1733 (yes, spelled like that).
1735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1736 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1738 * Moose::Meta::Class
1739 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1740 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1742 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1744 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1745 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1746 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1747 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1748 instead. Reported by doy.
1750 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1752 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1753 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1756 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1757 message) is now deprecated.
1758 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1759 often got it wrong. For example:
1761 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1763 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1767 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1768 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1769 bite you in weird cases.
1771 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1772 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1773 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1774 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1777 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1781 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1784 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1785 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1788 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1789 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1792 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1795 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1796 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1797 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1798 - added tests for this (stevan)
1800 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1801 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1802 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1803 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1807 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1808 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1809 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1810 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1812 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1813 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1814 - added tests for this (rafl)
1816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1817 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1818 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1819 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1823 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1824 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1827 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1828 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1829 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1831 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1833 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1834 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1836 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1837 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1838 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1839 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1840 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1842 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1843 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1844 error message did not specify the attribute name
1847 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1849 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1851 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1852 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1853 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1855 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1856 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1859 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1861 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1862 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1863 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1864 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1866 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1868 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1869 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1870 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1871 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1873 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1874 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1875 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1878 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1879 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1880 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1881 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1883 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1884 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1885 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1886 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1887 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1890 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1891 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1892 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1893 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1894 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1896 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1897 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1898 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1899 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1900 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1901 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1903 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1904 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1906 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1907 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1908 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1909 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1911 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1912 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1915 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1919 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1920 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1922 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1923 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1924 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1925 guts. (nothingmuch).
1927 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1928 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1929 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1932 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1933 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1934 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1936 * Moose::Meta::Class
1937 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1940 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1941 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1943 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1944 * Moose::Unsweetened
1945 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1948 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1949 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1950 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1951 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1952 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1953 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1956 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1957 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1958 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1959 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1960 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1961 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1962 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1963 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1964 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1968 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1969 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1971 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1972 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1973 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1974 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1976 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1977 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1978 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1979 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1980 same methods for a single role did not work
1981 right (worked just fine with multiple
1983 - added test for this (stevan)
1985 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1986 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1987 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1990 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1991 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1992 - added test for this (t0m)
1995 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1996 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1997 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2000 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2001 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2002 - added test for this (t0m)
2004 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2005 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2006 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2007 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2008 - added test for this (perigrin)
2011 - create method for constructing a role
2012 dynamically (Sartak)
2013 - added test for this (Sartak)
2014 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2015 - added test for this (Sartak)
2018 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2020 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2021 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2022 methods is useful (Sartak)
2024 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2025 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2026 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2029 * Moose::Meta::Class
2030 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2031 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2032 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2033 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2034 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2035 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2038 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2039 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2041 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2042 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2043 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2044 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2045 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2047 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2049 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2050 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2051 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2054 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2055 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2056 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2057 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2058 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2059 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2062 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2063 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2064 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2065 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2066 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2067 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2068 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2069 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2070 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2071 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2072 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2074 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2075 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2078 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2079 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2080 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2081 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2082 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2084 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2086 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2087 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2088 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2090 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2091 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2093 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2094 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2095 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2096 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2099 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2100 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2102 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2104 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2105 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2107 * Moose::Meta::Class
2108 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2109 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2110 a required attribute
2112 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2113 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2114 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2115 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2117 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2118 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2120 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2121 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2122 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2123 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2124 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2125 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2126 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2127 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2129 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2130 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2131 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2133 * Roles and role application
2134 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2135 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2136 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2137 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2138 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2140 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2141 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2144 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2145 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2146 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2147 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2148 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2151 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2152 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2153 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2154 changes in the Moose internals.
2156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2158 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2161 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2162 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2163 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2164 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2166 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2167 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2168 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2169 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2171 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2172 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2173 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2174 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2175 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2176 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2177 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2178 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2179 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2180 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2181 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2182 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2183 constraint implementations.
2185 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2189 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2190 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2191 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2192 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2193 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2194 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2195 - added tests for this (rafl)
2197 * Moose::Meta::Class
2198 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2199 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2200 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2201 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2202 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2203 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2204 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2205 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2208 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2209 - added tests for this (thepler)
2211 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2212 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2213 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2214 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2217 * Moose::Meta::Class
2218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2219 * Moose::Meta::Method
2222 * Moose::Error::Default
2223 * Moose::Error::Croak
2224 * Moose::Error::Confess
2225 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2226 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2227 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2228 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2229 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2230 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2232 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2234 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2235 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2237 * Moose::Unsweetened
2238 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2239 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2240 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2243 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2244 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2245 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2246 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2249 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2250 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2252 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2253 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2254 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2255 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2258 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2260 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2261 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2263 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2266 - Various bug fixes.
2268 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2269 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2271 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2273 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2274 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2275 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2276 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2277 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2278 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2280 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2281 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2282 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2284 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2285 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2286 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2289 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2290 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2291 dependency to 0.64_07.
2293 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2294 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2295 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2297 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2298 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2302 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2303 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2304 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2305 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2306 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2308 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2309 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2311 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2313 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2314 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2318 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2319 method when that method was provided by another role being
2320 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2321 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2323 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2325 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2326 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2329 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2330 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2331 - added test for this (t0m)
2333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2334 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2335 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2337 - added test for this (t0m)
2340 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2341 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2342 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2345 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2346 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2348 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2350 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2351 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2353 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2354 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2355 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2357 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2358 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2361 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2362 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2363 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2364 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2368 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2369 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2370 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2373 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2374 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2375 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2376 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2379 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2383 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2384 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2385 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2387 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2389 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2390 created so that the process can be more easily

2403 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2405 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2406 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2407 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2409 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2410 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2411 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2413 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2414 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2416 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2417 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2420 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2421 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2425 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2426 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2428 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2429 ... this is not my day today ...
2431 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2432 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2433 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2434 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2435 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2438 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2439 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2440 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2441 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2442 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2445 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2447 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2448 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2449 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2450 this is not ever something you want to do
2451 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2452 - added tests for this (stevan)
2455 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2457 - added test for this
2459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2460 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)

2465 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2466 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2468 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2469 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2470 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2473 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2475 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2477 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2480 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2481 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2482 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2483 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2484 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2485 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2486 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2487 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2488 - added tests for this
2490 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2491 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2492 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2493 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2495 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2511 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2512 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2514 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2516 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2551 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2553 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2554 - move the ClassName type check code to
2555 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)

2558 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2560 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2561 (early morning release engineering)--
2563 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2564 which was causing the indexer to choke
2566 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2567 (late night release engineering)--
2569 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2570 changes in this release
2572 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

2578 since it is called so often by &meta
2580 * Moose::Meta::Class
2582 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2583 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2587 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2588 method for immutablization to check if the
2589 destructor object even needs to be created
2592 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2593 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2594 - added more descriptive error message to help
2595 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2596 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2598 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2600 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2601 XS based functionality is now optional
2602 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2603 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2604 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2606 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2607 to take care of this, mostly we added
2608 support for the package_name and name
2609 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2610 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2611 support regexp matching of names
2612 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2613 - tests added for this
2614 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2615 is currently not supported in roles,
2616 but, ... patches welcome
2617 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2618 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2619 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2622 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2623 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2624 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2625 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2626 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2627 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2628 - added test for this
2630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2631 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2632 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2635 * Moose::Meta::Class
2636 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2640 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2642 - added tests for this
2643 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2644 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2647 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2648 themselves parameterizable types
2650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2651 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2652 called by the inlined immutable
2654 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2656 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2657 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2658 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2659 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2661 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2662 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2666 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

2674 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2677 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2678 ->body when looping through the
2679 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2681 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2682 eating the $@ values, and so not
2683 working correctly, it still kind of
2684 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2685 - added tests for this
2687 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2688 - added new recipe for immutable
2689 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2691 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2703 since Module::Install has done that.
2705 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2707 drink more coffee before
2708 doing release engineering
2710 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2711 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2712 modules. This fixes that.

2715 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2716 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2718 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

2725 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2726 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2728 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2729 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2730 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2731 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2737 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2738 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

2742 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2744 - added test for this
2746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2747 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2748 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2749 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)

2769 to allow introspection of traits
2770 - added tests for this

2825 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2827 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2828 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2829 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2871 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2872 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2875 - added more delegation tests
2876 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2877 support traits and their introspection.

3118 - added tests for this
3121 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3122 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3165 when they encounter overriden or modified
3166 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3167 - added tests for this
3169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3177 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3180 * Parameterized Types
3181 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3182 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3183 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3184 They can also be nested:
3185 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3186 And work with the type unions as well:
3187 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3189 * Better Framework Extendability
3190 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3191 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3192 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3193 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3196 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3197 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3198 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3199 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3464 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3467 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3468 !! for this developer release to work !!
3470 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3471 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3472 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3473 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3474 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3475 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3476 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3477 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3478 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3479 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3480 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3482 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3483 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3484 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3485 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3488 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3489 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3490 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3491 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3492 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3494 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3496 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3497 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3500 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3501 called unless they actually need to be.
3502 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3503 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3504 DEMOLISH method present.
3506 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3507 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3508 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3509 type constraint, which allows for a
3510 hand optimized version of the type
3511 constraint to be used when possible.
3512 - Any internally created type constraints
3513 now provide an optimized version as well.
3515 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3517 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3518 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3519 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3521 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3522 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3523 your class namespace of these exported
3526 * Moose::Meta::Class
3527 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3528 comes up during global destruction
3530 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3534 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3537 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3538 - changed how we do type checks so that
3539 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3542 - moved accessor generation methods to
3543 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3544 conform to the API changes from
3547 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3548 - changed how constraints are compiled
3549 so that we do less recursion and more
3550 iteration. This makes the type check
3552 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3556 - created this from methods formerly found in
3557 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3559 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3560 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3562 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3563 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3565 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3566 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3568 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3571 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3572 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3573 - added tests for this
3574 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3575 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3576 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3577 - removed tests for this
3579 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3581 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3582 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3583 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3586 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3587 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3588 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3590 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3591 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3592 comments for more info.
3595 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3596 asked questions and common problems
3598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3599 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3600 - added tests for this
3602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3603 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3604 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3605 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3607 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3608 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3611 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3612 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3613 is much appreciated :)
3614 - added tests for this
3616 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3617 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3618 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3621 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3622 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3624 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3626 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3627 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3631 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3632 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3633 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3635 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3637 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3640 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3641 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3642 keywords because we need to localize them.
3643 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3645 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3646 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3647 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3650 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3653 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3654 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3655 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3658 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3659 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3660 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3662 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3664 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3665 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3666 bottom of your class file.
3669 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3672 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3674 - improved error message when loading modules so
3675 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3676 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3677 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3680 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3681 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3682 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3684 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3685 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3687 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3688 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3689 turn them on for you.
3690 - added tests for this
3691 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3692 in Moose::Meta::Class
3695 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3696 automatically turned on for you.

3715 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3718 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3719 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3720 - This release works in combination with
3721 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3722 release because it uses the a new
3723 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3724 complete Role implementation. It has
3725 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3726 the the previous CPAN version. This
3727 release also lacks good updated docs,
3728 the official release will have updated docs.
3731 - refactored the keyword exports
3732 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3733 accepts more than one Role at a time
3734 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3735 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3738 - refactored the keyword exports
3739 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3740 accepts more than one Role at a time
3742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3743 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3744 string enumerations which can be used as
3746 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3749 - more careful checking of params to new()
3752 - much work done on the role composition
3753 - many new tests for conflict detection
3754 and composition edge cases
3755 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3756 looking at the tests
3758 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3759 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3760 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3762 * Moose::Meta::Class
3763 - some small changes to support the new
3765 - some small additions to support Roles
3767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3768 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3770 - some small changes to support the new
3772 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3773 with the 'handles' option
3774 - added several tests for this
3775 - no docs for this yet
3777 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3779 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3780 thanks to chansen for this commit
3781 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3782 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3783 on a per-attribute basis
3784 - added tests for this
3785 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3786 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3787 experimental feature and probably not finished

3789 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3790 - added tests for this

3805 construct_instance (for the better)
3807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3851 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3852 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3854 - added test for this
3857 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3858 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
