2 for, noteworthy changes.
5 * fix incompatibilities with Test::Builder 1.005+ (Karen Etheridge)
7 2.0801 Thu, Mar 28, 2013
11 * properly apply traits at compile time (error introduced in 2.0800,
14 2.0800 Wed, Mar 27, 2013
18 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
19 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
21 * Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
22 without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
26 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
27 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
28 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
30 * Fix memory leak in type unions. (Karen Etheridge) RT#83929.
32 * Fix application of traits at compile time. (doy) RT#77974.
34 2.0604 Wed, Sep 19, 2012
38 * Fix nonsensical error message for inlined accessors of required attributes.
41 * Stop trying to localize a lexical (blead now throws an error for this). RT
42 #79257, perl #114628. (sprout)
46 * Depend on a version of Carp new enough to have caller_info. RT #79367.
49 2.0603 Thu, Jun 28, 2012
53 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
55 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
59 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
60 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
61 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
62 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
63 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
65 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
69 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
70 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
71 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
73 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
77 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
79 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
83 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
84 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
85 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
88 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
90 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
94 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
96 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
100 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
101 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
105 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
106 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
107 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
108 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
109 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
114 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
115 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
116 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
117 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
119 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
120 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
121 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
123 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
124 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
125 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
126 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
128 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
129 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
130 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
131 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
133 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
134 package which was deleted. (doy)
136 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
140 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
142 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
146 * Minor documentation fixes.
148 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
149 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
151 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
155 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
156 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
158 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
162 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
164 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
168 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
170 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
173 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
177 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
179 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
180 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
184 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
185 more values were required. (rjbs)
187 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
191 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
192 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
196 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
197 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
198 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
199 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
201 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
202 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
203 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
205 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
206 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
209 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
210 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
211 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
212 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
216 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
217 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
218 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
219 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
222 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
226 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
227 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
228 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
230 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
231 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
232 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
234 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
235 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
236 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
238 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
239 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
242 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
243 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
244 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
246 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
247 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
250 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
251 the associated stash. (doy)
255 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
256 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
257 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
258 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
260 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
264 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
265 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
266 the attribute's reference.
270 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
271 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
276 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
277 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
278 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
281 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
282 the Object constraint).
284 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
288 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
289 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
294 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
296 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
300 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
303 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
305 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
309 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
311 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
315 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
318 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
319 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
320 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
322 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
325 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
329 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
331 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
335 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
337 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
341 * Include changes from 2.0010.
343 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
347 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
348 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
352 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
353 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
354 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
359 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
361 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
365 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
366 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
368 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
372 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
374 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
378 * Various packaging issues.
380 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
384 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
385 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
390 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
391 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
392 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
396 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
397 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
398 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
400 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
404 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
405 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
407 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
411 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
412 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
414 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
417 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
418 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
422 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
423 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
425 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
429 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
430 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
434 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
436 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
440 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
442 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
446 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
447 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
449 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
453 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
455 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
459 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
461 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
462 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
464 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
468 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
469 skips every other role. (rjbs)
471 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
472 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
473 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
474 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
475 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
477 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
481 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
482 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
483 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
486 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
491 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
493 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
494 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
496 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
500 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
501 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
502 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
506 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
507 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
509 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
510 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
512 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
513 environments. (doy, mateu)
515 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
519 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
520 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
521 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
522 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
526 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
527 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
529 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
533 * Update conflicts list.
536 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
540 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
541 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
542 details. (Dave Rolsky)
544 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
545 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
546 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
547 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
548 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
552 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
553 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
554 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
555 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
556 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
559 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
563 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
564 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
566 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
569 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
573 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
574 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
575 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
576 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
578 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
579 immutable classes). (mo)
581 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
582 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
583 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
585 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
589 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
591 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
593 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
597 * Fix some indexing issues.
599 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
601 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
605 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
606 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
607 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
608 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
609 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
611 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
612 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
617 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
618 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
619 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
620 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
622 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
623 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
624 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
628 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
629 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
632 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
636 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
637 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
641 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
645 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
646 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
647 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
648 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
651 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
655 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
658 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
662 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
663 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
664 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
667 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
671 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
672 policy. (Chris Prather)
674 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
675 on this new support policy. (doy)
679 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
680 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
681 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
683 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
684 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
686 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
690 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
691 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
692 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
693 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
696 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
700 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
701 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
704 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
708 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
709 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
711 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
712 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
716 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
717 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
718 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
719 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
720 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
721 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
723 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
724 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
726 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
727 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
728 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
729 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
731 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
732 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
734 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
739 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
740 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
742 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
746 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
747 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
748 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
750 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
754 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
755 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
756 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
758 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
759 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
762 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
763 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
766 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
767 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
768 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
770 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
771 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
776 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
777 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
778 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
779 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
781 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
782 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
784 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
785 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
787 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
788 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
789 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
790 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
792 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
793 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
794 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
797 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
798 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
799 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
800 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
802 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
803 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
806 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
807 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
808 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
810 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
814 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
815 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
816 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
818 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
819 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
820 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
823 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
824 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
825 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
827 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
828 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
829 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
831 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
832 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
836 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
837 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
838 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
840 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
841 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
842 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
843 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
845 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
849 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
850 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
851 value is a reference.
853 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
854 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
856 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
860 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
861 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
862 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
864 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
868 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
869 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
873 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
874 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
875 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
877 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
878 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
879 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
881 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
885 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
887 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
891 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
893 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
894 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
899 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
900 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
902 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
903 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
904 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
905 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
906 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
908 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
909 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
910 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
911 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
913 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
917 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
918 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
923 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
925 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
927 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
932 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
934 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
938 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
939 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
940 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
942 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
943 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
944 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
945 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
947 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
948 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
949 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
950 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
951 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
954 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
959 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
960 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
961 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
962 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
963 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
966 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
970 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
973 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
974 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
978 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
979 function (not just method). (doy)
983 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
984 and aren't easily installable/testable.
986 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
990 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
991 to be overridden more easily (doy).
993 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
997 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
998 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
1000 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
1004 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
1005 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
1006 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
1008 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
1012 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
1013 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
1014 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
1016 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
1017 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
1021 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
1022 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
1024 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
1025 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
1029 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
1030 is applied to a class (t0m).
1032 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
1033 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1035 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1038 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1039 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1041 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1042 be much more robust. (doy)
1044 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1046 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1049 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1053 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1054 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1056 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1060 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1061 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1063 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1066 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1067 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1068 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1070 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1071 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1072 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1075 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1077 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1081 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1082 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1086 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1088 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1093 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1097 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1098 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1102 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1104 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1108 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1109 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1113 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1114 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1118 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1119 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1121 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1125 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1126 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1127 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1130 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1134 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1135 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1136 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1137 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1139 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1143 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1144 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1145 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1149 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1150 (Michael G. Schwern)
1152 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1156 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1157 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1158 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1162 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1163 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1165 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1166 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1167 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1168 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1170 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1174 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1178 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1179 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1181 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1182 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1183 - Moose::Util::does_role
1184 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1185 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1186 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1188 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1192 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1193 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1194 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1197 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1201 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1202 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1205 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1209 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1210 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1213 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1217 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1219 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1220 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1222 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1223 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1224 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1226 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1227 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1228 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1231 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1232 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1234 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1235 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1236 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1238 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1240 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1241 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1243 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1245 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1248 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1249 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1251 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1252 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1254 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1255 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1256 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1257 dependencies installed.
1259 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1260 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1263 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1265 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1269 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1271 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1272 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1273 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1275 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1276 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1277 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1279 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1280 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1283 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1284 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1285 others. (nothingmuch)
1287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1288 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1289 remove_accessors. (doy)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1292 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1293 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1296 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1298 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1300 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1301 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1303 * Moose::Meta::Class
1304 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1305 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1308 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1310 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1312 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1313 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1317 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1318 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1319 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1320 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1322 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1324 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1325 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1326 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1327 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1328 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1331 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1332 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1333 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1334 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1335 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1337 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1338 which were not receiving the value of
1339 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1340 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1341 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1342 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1346 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1347 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1348 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1349 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1350 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1353 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1354 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1355 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1356 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1358 * Moose::Meta::Class
1359 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1360 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1361 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1364 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1366 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1368 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1369 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1370 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1373 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1374 class if you pass it options for
1375 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1376 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1377 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1378 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1379 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1380 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1381 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1382 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1383 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1386 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1387 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1388 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1389 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1392 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1393 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1394 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1395 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1398 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1399 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1400 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1401 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1402 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1405 * Moose::Error::Croak
1406 * Moose::Error::Confess
1407 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1408 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1411 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1414 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1415 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1416 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1418 * Moose::Meta::Class
1419 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1422 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1423 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1424 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1426 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1427 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1428 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1429 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1430 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1433 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1436 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1438 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1439 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1442 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1443 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1445 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1447 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1448 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1450 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1451 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1452 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1453 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1454 using it for new code!
1456 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1457 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1458 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1459 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1461 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1462 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1463 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1464 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1465 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1466 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1467 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1468 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1471 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1474 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1475 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1478 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1479 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1482 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1483 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1485 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1486 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1487 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1488 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1490 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1491 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1492 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1495 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1496 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1499 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1500 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1501 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1502 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1503 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1504 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1506 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1508 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1511 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1512 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1513 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1515 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1516 associated_methods. (hdp)
1517 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1518 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1519 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1520 misspelled) arguments
1522 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1523 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1524 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1525 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1527 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1528 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1529 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1531 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1534 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1535 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1536 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1539 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1540 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1542 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1543 * Moose::Meta::Class
1544 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1545 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1547 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1548 * Moose::Manual::Types
1549 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1550 string parsing rathole (mst)
1552 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1553 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1554 using plain objects instead
1556 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1557 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1558 that's what we need.
1560 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1561 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1562 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1563 three times today (perigrin)
1564 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1565 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1568 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1569 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1570 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1573 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1574 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1575 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1576 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1577 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1578 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1581 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1582 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1583 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1584 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1587 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1589 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1592 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1594 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1597 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1598 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1599 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1603 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1604 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1607 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1608 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1610 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1611 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1612 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1614 * Moose::Unsweetened
1615 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1617 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1618 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1621 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1625 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1626 methods during global destruction (doy)
1628 * Moose::Meta::Class
1629 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1630 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1631 consumption (Sartak)
1633 * Moose::Meta::Class
1634 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1635 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1638 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1639 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1642 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1643 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1645 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1647 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1651 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1652 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1653 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1656 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1657 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1658 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1661 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1663 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1664 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1665 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1668 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1669 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1670 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1671 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1673 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1674 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1675 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1678 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1681 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1682 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1683 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1687 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1688 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1690 * Moose::Meta::Class
1691 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1693 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1695 * Moose::Meta::Class
1696 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1697 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1700 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1701 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1704 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1705 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1708 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1711 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1713 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1714 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1717 * Moose::Meta::Class
1718 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1720 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1721 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1724 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1725 * More deprecations and renamings
1726 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1727 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1728 when an object is constructed)
1731 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1732 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1733 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1735 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1736 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1737 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1738 feature, and it works again.
1741 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1743 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1745 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1746 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1747 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1749 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1750 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1751 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1752 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1753 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1756 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1757 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1758 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1759 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1762 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1763 metaclass object. (hdp)
1765 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1766 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1769 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1770 point out this fact. (hdp)
1772 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1773 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1775 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1776 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1778 * Moose::Meta::Class
1779 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1780 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1781 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1782 called during instance construction were passed the
1783 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1784 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1786 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1787 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1790 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1791 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1792 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1795 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1796 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1797 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1798 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1799 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1801 - Moose::Meta::Class
1802 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1804 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1805 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1806 when an object is constructed)
1807 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1809 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1810 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1811 when an object is constructed)
1812 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1813 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1814 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1817 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1819 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1820 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1822 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1824 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1825 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1826 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1829 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1830 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1832 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1834 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1835 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1837 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1838 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1841 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1842 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1845 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1846 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1847 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1850 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1854 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1855 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1856 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1858 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1859 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1862 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1863 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1864 with recommended workarounds.
1866 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1867 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1869 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1870 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1871 (yes, spelled like that).
1873 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1874 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1876 * Moose::Meta::Class
1877 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1878 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1880 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1883 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1884 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1885 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1886 instead. Reported by doy.
1888 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1890 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1891 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1893 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1894 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1895 message) is now deprecated.
1896 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1897 often got it wrong. For example:
1899 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1901 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1905 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1906 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1907 bite you in weird cases.
1909 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1910 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1911 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1912 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1914 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1915 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1919 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1922 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1923 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1926 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1927 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1930 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1933 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1934 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1935 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1936 - added tests for this (stevan)
1938 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1939 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1940 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1941 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1945 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1946 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1947 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1948 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1950 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1951 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1952 - added tests for this (rafl)
1954 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1955 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1956 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1957 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1961 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1962 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1965 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1966 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1967 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1969 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1971 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1972 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1974 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1975 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1976 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1977 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1978 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1981 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1982 error message did not specify the attribute name
1985 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1987 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1989 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1990 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1991 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1993 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1994 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1997 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1999 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
2000 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
2001 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
2002 of fixes and formatting improvements.
2004 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
2006 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
2007 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
2008 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
2009 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
2011 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2012 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
2013 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
2015 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2016 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
2017 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
2018 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
2019 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
2021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2022 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
2023 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
2024 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
2025 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
2027 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2028 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
2029 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
2030 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
2031 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
2032 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
2034 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2035 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2036 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2037 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2038 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2039 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2041 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2042 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2044 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2045 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2046 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2047 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2049 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2050 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2053 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2057 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2058 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2060 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2061 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2062 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2063 guts. (nothingmuch).
2065 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2066 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2067 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2069 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2070 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2071 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2072 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2074 * Moose::Meta::Class
2075 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2078 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2079 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2081 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2082 * Moose::Unsweetened
2083 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2086 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2087 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2088 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2089 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2090 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2091 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2093 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2094 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2095 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2096 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2097 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2098 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2099 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2100 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2101 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2102 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2104 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2106 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2107 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2109 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2110 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2111 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2112 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2114 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2115 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2116 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2117 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2118 same methods for a single role did not work
2119 right (worked just fine with multiple
2121 - added test for this (stevan)
2123 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2124 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2125 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2128 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2129 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2130 - added test for this (t0m)
2133 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2134 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2135 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2138 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2139 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2140 - added test for this (t0m)
2142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2143 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2144 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2145 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2146 - added test for this (perigrin)
2149 - create method for constructing a role
2150 dynamically (Sartak)
2151 - added test for this (Sartak)
2152 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2153 - added test for this (Sartak)
2156 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2158 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2159 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2160 methods is useful (Sartak)
2162 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2164 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2167 * Moose::Meta::Class
2168 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2169 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2170 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2171 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2172 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2173 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2176 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2177 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2179 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2180 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2181 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2182 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2183 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2185 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2187 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2188 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2189 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2192 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2193 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2194 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2195 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2196 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2197 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2201 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2202 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2203 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2204 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2205 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2206 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2207 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2208 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2209 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2210 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2213 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2216 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2217 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2218 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2219 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2220 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2222 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2224 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2225 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2226 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2229 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2231 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2232 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2233 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2234 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2237 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2238 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2240 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2242 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2243 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2245 * Moose::Meta::Class
2246 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2247 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2248 a required attribute
2250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2252 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2253 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2256 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2258 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2259 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2260 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2261 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2262 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2263 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2264 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2265 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2267 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2268 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2269 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2271 * Roles and role application
2272 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2273 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2274 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2275 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2276 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2278 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2279 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2282 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2283 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2284 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2285 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2286 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2289 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2290 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2291 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2292 changes in the Moose internals.
2294 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2296 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2299 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2300 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2301 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2302 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2304 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2305 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2306 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2307 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2309 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2310 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2311 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2312 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2313 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2314 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2315 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2316 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2317 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2318 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2319 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2320 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2321 constraint implementations.
2323 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2327 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2328 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2329 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2330 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2331 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2332 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2333 - added tests for this (rafl)
2335 * Moose::Meta::Class
2336 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2337 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2338 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2339 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2340 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2341 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2342 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2343 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2346 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2347 - added tests for this (thepler)
2349 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2350 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2351 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2352 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2355 * Moose::Meta::Class
2356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2357 * Moose::Meta::Method
2360 * Moose::Error::Default
2361 * Moose::Error::Croak
2362 * Moose::Error::Confess
2363 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2364 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2365 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2366 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2367 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2368 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2370 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2372 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2373 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2375 * Moose::Unsweetened
2376 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2377 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2378 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2380 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2381 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2382 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2383 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2384 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2387 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2388 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2390 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2391 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2392 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2393 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2396 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2398 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2399 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2401 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2404 - Various bug fixes.
2406 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2407 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2409 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2411 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2412 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2413 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2414 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2415 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2416 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2418 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2419 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2420 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2422 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2423 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2424 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2427 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2428 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2429 dependency to 0.64_07.
2431 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2432 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2433 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2436 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2440 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2441 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2442 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2443 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2444 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2446 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2447 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2449 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2451 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2452 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2456 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2457 method when that method was provided by another role being
2458 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2459 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2461 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2463 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2464 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2467 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2468 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2469 - added test for this (t0m)
2471 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2472 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2473 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2475 - added test for this (t0m)
2478 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2479 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2480 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2483 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2484 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2486 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2488 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2489 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2491 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2492 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2493 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2495 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2496 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2499 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2500 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2501 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2502 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2506 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2507 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2508 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2511 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2512 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2513 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2514 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2517 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2521 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2522 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2523 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2525 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2527 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2528 created so that the process can be more easily
2529 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2531 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2532 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2533 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2534 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2536 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2537 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2540 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2541 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2543 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2544 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2545 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2547 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2548 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2549 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2551 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2552 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2554 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2555 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2558 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2559 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2563 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2564 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2566 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2567 ... this is not my day today ...
2569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2570 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2571 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2572 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2573 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2576 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2577 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2578 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2579 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2580 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2583 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2585 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2586 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2587 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2588 this is not ever something you want to do
2589 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2590 - added tests for this (stevan)
2593 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2595 - added test for this
2597 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2598 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2599 - added tests for this (wreis)
2601 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2602 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2603 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2604 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2606 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2607 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2608 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2611 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2613 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2615 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2618 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2619 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2620 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2621 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2622 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2623 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2624 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2625 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2626 - added tests for this
2628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2629 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2630 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2631 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2633 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2635 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2636 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2637 - added tests for this (sartak)
2638 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2639 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2642 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2644 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2645 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2647 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2648 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2649 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2650 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2652 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2654 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2655 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2658 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2659 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2660 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2662 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2663 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2664 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2666 - added docs for this (TODO).
2667 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2668 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2669 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2670 - fix builder and default both being used
2675 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2677 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2678 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2679 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2683 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2687 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2688 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2689 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2692 - move the ClassName type check code to
2693 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2695 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2696 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2698 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2699 (early morning release engineering)--
2701 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2702 which was causing the indexer to choke
2704 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2705 (late night release engineering)--
2707 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2708 changes in this release
2710 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2711 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2712 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2714 * Moose::Meta::Class
2715 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2716 since it is called so often by &meta
2718 * Moose::Meta::Class
2720 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2721 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2724 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2725 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2726 method for immutablization to check if the
2727 destructor object even needs to be created
2730 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2731 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2732 - added more descriptive error message to help
2733 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2734 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2736 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2738 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2739 XS based functionality is now optional
2740 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2741 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2742 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2744 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2745 to take care of this, mostly we added
2746 support for the package_name and name
2747 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2748 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2749 support regexp matching of names
2750 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2751 - tests added for this
2752 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2753 is currently not supported in roles,
2754 but, ... patches welcome
2755 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2756 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2757 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2760 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2761 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2762 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2763 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2764 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2765 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2766 - added test for this
2768 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2769 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2770 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2773 * Moose::Meta::Class
2774 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2778 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2780 - added tests for this
2781 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2782 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2784 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2785 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2786 themselves parameterizable types
2788 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2963 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2965 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3009 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
3010 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3303 when they encounter overriden or modified
3304 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3305 - added tests for this
3307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3308 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3309 the | always creates a union and so is

3315 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3318 * Parameterized Types
3319 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3320 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3321 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3322 They can also be nested:
3323 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3324 And work with the type unions as well:
3325 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3327 * Better Framework Extendability
3328 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3329 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3330 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3331 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3334 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3335 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3336 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3337 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3474 the lazy option, and the addition of a handles option
3475 (but not changing the handles option)
3476 - added tests and docs for this
3479 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3480 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3481 - adjusted tests for this
3483 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3484 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3485 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
3486 * Moose::Meta::Class
3487 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
3488 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
3489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3490 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
3491 the other side (perigrin)
3493 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3495 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3496 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3497 prototypes for functions
3498 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3499 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3500 - added tests and docs for this
3501 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3502 default for where be { 1 }

3506 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3507 merlyn for finding this bug
3508 - tests added for this
3509 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3512 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3513 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3514 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3515 - added tests for this
3517 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3519 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3532 where not handled correctly in roles
3533 - added tests for this
3535 * Moose::Meta::Class
3536 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3537 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3538 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3540 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3541 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3543 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3544 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3545 so this release is just to fix that.
3548 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3549 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3550 (thanks to konobi for this)
3551 - added tests and docs
3553 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3561 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3562 functions to facilitate introspection.
3564 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3565 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3566 to build the list of delegated methods
3567 correctly (and not override important
3568 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3570 - added tests and docs for this
3571 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3572 so that you can actually document your
3573 attributes and inspect them through the
3575 - added tests and docs for this
3577 * Moose::Meta::Class
3578 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3579 it will first look in for the class in the
3580 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3581 then default to just loading $name.
3582 - added tests and docs for this
3584 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3585 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3586 - added test for this
3589 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3590 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3591 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3592 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3594 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3595 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3598 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3600 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3601 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3602 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3605 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3606 !! for this developer release to work !!
3608 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3609 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3610 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3611 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3612 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3613 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3614 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3615 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3616 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3617 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3618 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3620 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3621 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3622 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3623 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3626 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3627 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3628 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3629 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3630 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3632 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3634 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3635 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3638 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3639 called unless they actually need to be.
3640 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3641 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3642 DEMOLISH method present.
3644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3646 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3647 type constraint, which allows for a
3648 hand optimized version of the type
3649 constraint to be used when possible.
3650 - Any internally created type constraints
3651 now provide an optimized version as well.
3653 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3655 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3656 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3657 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3659 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3660 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3661 your class namespace of these exported
3664 * Moose::Meta::Class
3665 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3666 comes up during global destruction
3668 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3672 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3675 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3676 - changed how we do type checks so that
3677 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3680 - moved accessor generation methods to
3681 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3682 conform to the API changes from
3685 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3686 - changed how constraints are compiled
3687 so that we do less recursion and more
3688 iteration. This makes the type check
3690 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3693 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3694 - created this from methods formerly found in
3695 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3697 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3698 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3701 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3703 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3704 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3706 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3708 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3709 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3710 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3711 - added tests for this
3712 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3713 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3714 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3715 - removed tests for this
3717 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3719 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3720 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3721 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3724 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3725 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3726 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3728 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3729 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3730 comments for more info.
3733 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3734 asked questions and common problems
3736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3737 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3738 - added tests for this
3740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3741 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3742 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3743 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3745 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3746 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3749 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3750 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3751 is much appreciated :)
3752 - added tests for this
3754 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3755 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3756 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3759 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3760 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3762 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3764 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3765 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3769 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3770 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3771 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3773 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3775 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3778 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3779 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3780 keywords because we need to localize them.
3781 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3783 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3784 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3785 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3788 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3791 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3792 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3793 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3796 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3797 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3798 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3800 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3802 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3803 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3804 bottom of your class file.
3807 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3810 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3812 - improved error message when loading modules so
3813 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3814 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3815 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3818 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3819 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3820 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3822 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3823 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3825 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3826 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3827 turn them on for you.
3828 - added tests for this
3829 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3830 in Moose::Meta::Class

3857 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3858 - This release works in combination with
3859 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3860 release because it uses the a new
3861 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3862 complete Role implementation. It has
3863 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3864 the the previous CPAN version. This
3865 release also lacks good updated docs,
3866 the official release will have updated docs.
3869 - refactored the keyword exports
3870 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3871 accepts more than one Role at a time

3877 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3878 accepts more than one Role at a time
3880 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3882 string enumerations which can be used as
3884 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3887 - more careful checking of params to new()
3890 - much work done on the role composition
3891 - many new tests for conflict detection
3892 and composition edge cases
3893 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3894 looking at the tests
3896 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3897 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3898 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3919 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3920 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3921 on a per-attribute basis
3922 - added tests for this
3923 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3924 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3925 experimental feature and probably not finished

3927 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3928 - added tests for this
