1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
10 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
11 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
12 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
15 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
17 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
21 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
23 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
27 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
28 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
32 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
33 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
34 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
35 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
36 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
41 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
42 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
43 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
44 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
46 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
47 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
48 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
50 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
51 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
52 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
53 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
55 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
56 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
57 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
58 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
60 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
61 package which was deleted. (doy)
63 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
67 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
69 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
73 * Minor documentation fixes.
75 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
78 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
82 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
83 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
85 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
89 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
91 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
95 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
97 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
100 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
104 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
106 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
107 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
111 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
112 more values were required. (rjbs)
114 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
118 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
119 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
123 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
124 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
125 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
126 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
128 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
129 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
130 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
132 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
133 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
136 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
137 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
138 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
139 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
143 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
144 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
145 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
146 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
149 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
153 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
154 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
155 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
157 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
158 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
159 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
161 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
162 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
163 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
165 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
166 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
169 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
170 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
171 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
173 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
174 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
177 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
178 the associated stash. (doy)
182 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
183 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
184 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
185 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
187 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
191 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
192 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
193 the attribute's reference.
197 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
198 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
203 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
204 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
205 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
208 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
209 the Object constraint).
211 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
215 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
216 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
221 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
223 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
227 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
230 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
232 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
236 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
238 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
242 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
245 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
246 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
247 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
249 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
252 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
256 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
258 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
262 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
264 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
268 * Include changes from 2.0010.
270 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
274 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
275 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
279 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
280 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
281 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
286 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
288 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
292 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
293 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
295 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
299 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
301 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
305 * Various packaging issues.
307 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
311 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
312 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
317 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
318 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
319 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
323 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
324 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
325 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
327 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
331 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
332 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
334 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
338 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
339 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
341 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
344 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
345 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
349 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
350 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
352 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
356 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
357 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
361 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
363 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
367 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
369 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
373 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
374 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
376 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
380 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
382 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
386 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
388 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
389 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
391 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
395 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
396 skips every other role. (rjbs)
398 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
399 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
400 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
401 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
402 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
404 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
408 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
409 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
410 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
413 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
418 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
420 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
421 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
423 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
427 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
428 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
429 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
433 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
434 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
436 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
437 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
439 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
440 environments. (doy, mateu)
442 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
446 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
447 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
448 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
449 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
453 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
454 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
456 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
460 * Update conflicts list.
463 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
467 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
468 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
469 details. (Dave Rolsky)
471 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
472 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
473 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
474 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
475 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
479 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
480 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
481 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
482 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
483 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
486 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
490 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
491 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
493 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
496 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
500 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
501 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
502 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
503 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
505 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
506 immutable classes). (mo)
508 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
509 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
510 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
512 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
516 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
518 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
520 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
524 * Fix some indexing issues.
526 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
528 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
532 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
533 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
534 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
535 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
536 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
538 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
539 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
544 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
545 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
546 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
547 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
549 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
550 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
551 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
555 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
556 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
559 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
563 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
564 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
568 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
572 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
573 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
574 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
575 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
578 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
582 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
585 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
589 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
590 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
591 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
594 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
598 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
599 policy. (Chris Prather)
601 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
602 on this new support policy. (doy)
606 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
607 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
608 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
610 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
611 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
613 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
617 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
618 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
619 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
620 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
623 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
627 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
628 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
631 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
635 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
636 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
638 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
639 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
643 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
644 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
645 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
646 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
647 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
648 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
650 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
651 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
653 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
654 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
655 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
656 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
658 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
659 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
661 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
666 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
667 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
669 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
673 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
674 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
675 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
677 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
681 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
682 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
683 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
685 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
686 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
689 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
690 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
693 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
694 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
695 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
697 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
698 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
703 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
704 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
705 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
706 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
708 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
709 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
711 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
712 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
714 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
715 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
716 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
717 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
719 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
720 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
721 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
724 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
725 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
726 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
727 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
729 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
730 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
733 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
734 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
735 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
737 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
741 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
742 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
743 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
745 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
746 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
747 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
750 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
751 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
752 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
754 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
755 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
756 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
758 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
759 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
763 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
764 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
765 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
767 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
768 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
769 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
770 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
772 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
776 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
777 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
778 value is a reference.
780 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
781 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
783 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
787 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
788 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
789 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
791 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
795 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
796 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
800 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
801 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
802 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
804 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
805 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
806 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
808 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
812 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
814 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
818 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
820 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
821 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
826 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
827 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
829 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
830 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
831 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
832 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
833 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
835 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
836 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
837 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
838 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
840 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
844 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
845 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
850 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
852 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
854 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
859 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
861 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
865 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
866 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
867 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
869 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
870 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
871 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
872 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
874 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
875 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
876 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
877 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
878 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
881 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
886 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
887 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
888 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
889 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
890 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
893 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
897 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
900 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
901 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
905 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
906 function (not just method). (doy)
910 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
911 and aren't easily installable/testable.
913 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
917 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
918 to be overridden more easily (doy).
920 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
924 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
925 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
927 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
931 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
932 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
933 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
935 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
939 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
940 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
941 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
943 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
944 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
948 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
949 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
951 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
952 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
956 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
957 is applied to a class (t0m).
959 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
960 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
962 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
965 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
966 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
968 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
969 be much more robust. (doy)
971 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
973 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
976 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
980 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
981 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
983 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
987 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
988 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
990 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
993 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
994 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
995 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
997 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
998 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
999 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1002 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1004 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1008 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1009 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1013 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1015 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1020 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1024 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1025 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1029 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1031 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1035 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1036 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1040 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1041 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1045 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1046 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1048 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1052 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1053 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1054 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1057 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1061 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1062 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1063 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1064 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1066 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1070 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1071 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1072 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1076 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1077 (Michael G. Schwern)
1079 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1083 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1084 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1085 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1089 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1090 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1092 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1093 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1094 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1095 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1097 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1101 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1105 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1106 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1108 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1109 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1110 - Moose::Util::does_role
1111 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1112 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1113 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1115 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1119 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1120 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1121 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1124 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1128 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1129 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1132 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1136 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1137 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1140 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1144 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1146 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1147 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1149 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1150 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1151 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1153 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1154 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1155 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1158 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1159 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1161 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1162 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1163 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1165 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1167 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1168 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1170 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1172 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1175 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1176 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1178 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1179 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1181 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1182 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1183 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1184 dependencies installed.
1186 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1187 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1190 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1192 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1196 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1199 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1200 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1202 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1203 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1204 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1206 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1207 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1210 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1211 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1212 others. (nothingmuch)
1214 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1215 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1216 remove_accessors. (doy)
1218 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1219 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1220 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1223 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1225 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1227 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1228 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1230 * Moose::Meta::Class
1231 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1232 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1235 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1237 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1239 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1240 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1244 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1245 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1246 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1247 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1249 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1251 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1252 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1253 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1254 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1255 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1258 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1259 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1260 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1261 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1262 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1264 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1265 which were not receiving the value of
1266 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1267 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1268 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1269 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1273 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1274 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1275 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1276 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1277 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1281 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1282 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1283 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1285 * Moose::Meta::Class
1286 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1287 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1288 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1291 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1292 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1293 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1296 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1297 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1300 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1301 class if you pass it options for
1302 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1303 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1304 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1305 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1306 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1307 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1308 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1309 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1310 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1312 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1313 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1314 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1315 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1316 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1319 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1321 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1322 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1324 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1325 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1326 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1327 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1328 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1329 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1332 * Moose::Error::Croak
1333 * Moose::Error::Confess
1334 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1335 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1338 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1341 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1342 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1343 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1345 * Moose::Meta::Class
1346 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1349 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1350 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1351 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1353 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1354 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1355 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1356 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1357 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1359 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1360 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1363 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1365 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1366 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1369 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1370 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1372 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1373 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1374 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1375 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1377 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1378 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1379 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1380 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1381 using it for new code!
1383 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1384 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1385 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1386 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1388 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1389 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1390 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1391 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1392 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1393 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1394 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1395 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1398 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1401 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1402 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1406 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1408 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1409 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1410 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1412 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1414 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1415 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1417 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1418 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1419 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1422 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1423 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1426 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1427 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1428 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1429 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1430 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1431 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1433 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1435 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1438 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1439 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1440 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1442 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1443 associated_methods. (hdp)
1444 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1445 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1446 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1447 misspelled) arguments
1449 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1450 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1451 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1452 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1454 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1455 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1456 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1458 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1462 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1463 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1466 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1467 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1469 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1470 * Moose::Meta::Class
1471 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1472 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1474 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1475 * Moose::Manual::Types
1476 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1477 string parsing rathole (mst)
1479 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1480 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1481 using plain objects instead
1483 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1484 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1485 that's what we need.
1487 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1488 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1489 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1490 three times today (perigrin)
1491 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1492 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1495 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1496 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1497 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1500 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1501 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1502 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1503 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1504 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1505 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1508 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1509 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1510 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1511 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1514 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1516 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1519 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1521 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1524 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1525 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1526 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1530 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1531 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1534 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1535 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1537 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1538 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1539 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1541 * Moose::Unsweetened
1542 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1544 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1545 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1548 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1552 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1553 methods during global destruction (doy)
1555 * Moose::Meta::Class
1556 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1557 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1558 consumption (Sartak)
1560 * Moose::Meta::Class
1561 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1562 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1565 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1566 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1569 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1570 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1572 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1574 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1578 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1579 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1580 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1583 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1584 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1585 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1588 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1590 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1591 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1592 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1596 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1597 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1598 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1600 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1601 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1602 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1605 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1608 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1609 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1610 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1614 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1615 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1617 * Moose::Meta::Class
1618 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1620 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1622 * Moose::Meta::Class
1623 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1624 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1627 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1628 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1631 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1632 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1635 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1638 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1640 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1641 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1644 * Moose::Meta::Class
1645 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1647 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1648 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1651 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1652 * More deprecations and renamings
1653 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1654 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1655 when an object is constructed)
1658 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1659 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1660 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1662 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1663 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1664 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1665 feature, and it works again.
1668 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1670 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1672 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1673 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1674 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1677 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1678 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1679 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1680 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1682 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1683 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1684 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1685 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1686 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1689 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1690 metaclass object. (hdp)
1692 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1693 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1694 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1695 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1696 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1697 point out this fact. (hdp)
1699 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1700 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1702 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1703 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1705 * Moose::Meta::Class
1706 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1707 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1708 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1709 called during instance construction were passed the
1710 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1711 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1713 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1714 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1717 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1718 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1719 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1722 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1723 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1724 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1725 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1726 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1728 - Moose::Meta::Class
1729 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1731 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1732 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1733 when an object is constructed)
1734 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1736 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1737 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1738 when an object is constructed)
1739 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1740 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1741 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1744 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1746 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1747 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1749 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1751 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1752 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1753 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1755 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1756 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1757 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1759 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1761 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1762 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1764 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1765 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1769 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1772 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1773 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1774 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1777 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1781 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1782 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1783 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1785 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1786 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1789 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1790 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1791 with recommended workarounds.
1793 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1794 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1796 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1797 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1798 (yes, spelled like that).
1800 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1801 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1803 * Moose::Meta::Class
1804 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1805 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1807 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1809 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1810 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1811 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1812 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1813 instead. Reported by doy.
1815 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1817 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1818 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1821 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1822 message) is now deprecated.
1823 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1824 often got it wrong. For example:
1826 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1828 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1832 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1833 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1834 bite you in weird cases.
1836 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1837 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1838 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1839 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1841 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1842 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1846 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1849 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1850 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1853 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1854 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1856 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1857 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1860 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1862 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1863 - added tests for this (stevan)
1865 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1866 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1867 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1868 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1872 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1873 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1874 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1875 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1877 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1878 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1879 - added tests for this (rafl)
1881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1882 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1883 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1884 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1888 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1889 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1892 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1893 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1894 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1896 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1898 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1899 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1901 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1902 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1903 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1904 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1905 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1907 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1908 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1909 error message did not specify the attribute name
1912 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1914 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1916 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1917 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1918 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1920 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1921 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1924 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1926 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1927 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1928 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1929 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1931 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1933 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1934 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1935 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1936 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1938 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1939 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1940 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1943 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1944 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1945 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1946 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1948 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1949 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1950 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1951 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1952 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1955 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1956 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1957 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1958 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1959 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1961 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1962 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1963 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1964 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1965 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1966 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1969 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1971 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1972 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1973 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1974 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1977 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1980 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1984 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1985 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1987 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1988 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1989 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1990 guts. (nothingmuch).
1992 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1993 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1994 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1997 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1998 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1999 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2001 * Moose::Meta::Class
2002 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2005 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2006 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2009 * Moose::Unsweetened
2010 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2013 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2014 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2015 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2016 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2017 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2018 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2020 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2021 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2022 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2023 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2024 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2025 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2026 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2027 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2028 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2029 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2031 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2033 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2034 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2036 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2037 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2038 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2039 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2041 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2042 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2043 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2044 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2045 same methods for a single role did not work
2046 right (worked just fine with multiple
2048 - added test for this (stevan)
2050 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2051 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2052 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2055 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2056 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2057 - added test for this (t0m)
2060 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2061 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2062 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2065 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2066 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2067 - added test for this (t0m)
2069 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2070 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2071 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2072 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2073 - added test for this (perigrin)
2076 - create method for constructing a role
2077 dynamically (Sartak)
2078 - added test for this (Sartak)
2079 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2080 - added test for this (Sartak)
2083 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2085 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2086 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2087 methods is useful (Sartak)
2089 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2090 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2091 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2094 * Moose::Meta::Class
2095 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2096 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2097 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2098 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2099 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2100 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2103 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2104 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2106 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2107 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2108 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2109 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2110 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2112 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2114 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2115 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2116 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2119 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2120 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2121 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2122 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2123 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2124 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2127 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2128 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2129 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2130 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2131 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2132 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2133 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2134 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2135 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2136 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2137 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2139 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2140 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2143 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2144 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2145 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2146 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2147 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2149 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2151 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2152 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2153 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2156 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2159 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2160 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2161 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2164 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2165 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2167 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2169 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2170 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2172 * Moose::Meta::Class
2173 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2174 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2175 a required attribute
2177 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2178 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2179 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2180 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2182 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2183 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2185 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2186 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2187 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2188 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2189 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2190 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2191 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2192 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2194 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2195 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2196 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2198 * Roles and role application
2199 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2200 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2201 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2202 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2203 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2205 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2206 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2209 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2210 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2211 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2212 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2213 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2216 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2217 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2218 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2219 changes in the Moose internals.
2221 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2222 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2223 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2226 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2227 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2228 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2229 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2231 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2232 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2233 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2234 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2236 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2237 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2238 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2239 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2240 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2241 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2242 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2243 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2244 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2245 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2246 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2247 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2248 constraint implementations.
2250 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2254 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2255 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2256 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2257 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2258 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2259 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2260 - added tests for this (rafl)
2262 * Moose::Meta::Class
2263 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2264 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2265 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2266 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2267 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2268 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2269 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2270 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2273 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2274 - added tests for this (thepler)
2276 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2277 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2278 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2279 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2282 * Moose::Meta::Class
2283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2284 * Moose::Meta::Method
2287 * Moose::Error::Default
2288 * Moose::Error::Croak
2289 * Moose::Error::Confess
2290 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2291 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2292 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2293 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2294 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2295 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2297 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2299 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2300 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2302 * Moose::Unsweetened
2303 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2304 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2305 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2307 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2308 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2309 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2310 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2311 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2314 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2315 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2317 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2318 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2319 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2320 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2323 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2325 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2326 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2328 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2331 - Various bug fixes.
2333 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2334 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2336 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2338 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2339 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2340 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2341 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2342 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2343 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2345 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2346 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2347 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2349 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2350 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2351 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2354 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2355 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2356 dependency to 0.64_07.
2358 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2359 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2360 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2362 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2363 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2366 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2367 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2368 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2369 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2370 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2371 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2373 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2374 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2376 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2378 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2379 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2383 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2384 method when that method was provided by another role being
2385 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2386 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2388 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2390 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2391 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2393 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2394 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2395 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2396 - added test for this (t0m)
2398 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2399 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2400 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2402 - added test for this (t0m)
2405 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2406 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2407 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2410 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2411 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2413 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2415 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2416 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2418 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2419 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2420 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2422 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2423 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2426 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2427 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2428 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2429 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2433 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2434 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2435 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2438 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2439 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2440 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2441 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2444 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2448 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2449 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2450 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2452 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2453 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2454 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2455 created so that the process can be more easily
2456 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2458 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2459 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2460 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2461 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2464 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2467 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2468 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2470 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2471 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2472 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2474 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2475 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2476 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2478 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2479 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2481 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2482 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2485 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2486 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2490 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2491 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2493 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2494 ... this is not my day today ...
2496 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2497 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2498 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2499 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2500 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2503 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2504 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2505 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2506 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2507 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2510 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2512 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2513 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2514 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2515 this is not ever something you want to do
2516 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2517 - added tests for this (stevan)
2520 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2522 - added test for this
2524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2525 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2526 - added tests for this (wreis)
2528 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2529 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2530 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2531 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2533 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2534 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2535 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2538 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2540 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2542 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2545 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2546 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2547 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2548 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2549 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2550 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2551 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2552 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2553 - added tests for this
2555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2556 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2557 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2558 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2560 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2563 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2564 - added tests for this (sartak)
2565 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2566 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2569 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2571 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2572 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2575 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2576 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2577 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2579 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2581 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2582 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2589 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2590 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2591 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2593 - added docs for this (TODO).
2594 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2595 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2596 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2597 - fix builder and default both being used
2602 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2604 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2605 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2606 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2610 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2614 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2615 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2616 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2618 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2619 - move the ClassName type check code to
2620 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2622 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2623 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2625 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2626 (early morning release engineering)--
2628 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2629 which was causing the indexer to choke
2631 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2632 (late night release engineering)--
2634 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2635 changes in this release
2637 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2638 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2639 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2641 * Moose::Meta::Class
2642 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2643 since it is called so often by &meta
2645 * Moose::Meta::Class
2647 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2648 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2652 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2653 method for immutablization to check if the
2654 destructor object even needs to be created
2657 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2658 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2659 - added more descriptive error message to help
2660 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2661 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2663 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2665 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2666 XS based functionality is now optional
2667 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2668 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2669 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2671 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2672 to take care of this, mostly we added
2673 support for the package_name and name
2674 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2675 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2676 support regexp matching of names
2677 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2678 - tests added for this
2679 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2680 is currently not supported in roles,
2681 but, ... patches welcome
2682 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2683 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2684 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2687 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2688 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2689 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2690 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2691 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2692 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2693 - added test for this
2695 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2696 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2697 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2700 * Moose::Meta::Class
2701 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2705 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2707 - added tests for this
2708 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2709 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2711 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2712 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2713 themselves parameterizable types
2715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2716 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2717 called by the inlined immutable
2719 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2721 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2722 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2723 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2724 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2726 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2727 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2731 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2732 causing occasional cpantester failures
2733 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2734 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2736 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2738 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2739 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2742 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2743 ->body when looping through the
2744 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2746 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2747 eating the $@ values, and so not
2748 working correctly, it still kind of
2749 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2750 - added tests for this
2752 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2753 - added new recipe for immutable
2754 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2756 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2757 - added new recipe for builder and
2758 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2760 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2761 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2762 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2765 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2767 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2768 since Module::Install has done that.
2770 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2772 drink more coffee before
2773 doing release engineering
2775 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2776 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2777 modules. This fixes that.
2779 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2780 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2781 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2783 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2784 since we have tests which need the C3
2787 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008

3230 when they encounter overriden or modified
3231 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3232 - added tests for this
3234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3242 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3245 * Parameterized Types
3246 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3247 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3248 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3249 They can also be nested:
3250 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3251 And work with the type unions as well:
3252 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3254 * Better Framework Extendability
3255 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3256 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3257 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3258 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3261 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3262 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3263 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3264 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3460 - added tests for this
3462 * Moose::Meta::Class
3463 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3464 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3465 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3467 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3468 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3470 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3471 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3472 so this release is just to fix that.
3475 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3476 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3477 (thanks to konobi for this)
3478 - added tests and docs
3480 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3481 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3484 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3485 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3486 - added tests for this
3487 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3488 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3489 functions to facilitate introspection.
3491 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3492 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3493 to build the list of delegated methods
3494 correctly (and not override important
3495 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3497 - added tests and docs for this
3498 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3499 so that you can actually document your
3500 attributes and inspect them through the
3502 - added tests and docs for this
3504 * Moose::Meta::Class
3505 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3506 it will first look in for the class in the
3507 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3508 then default to just loading $name.
3509 - added tests and docs for this
3511 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3512 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3513 - added test for this
3516 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3517 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3518 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3519 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3521 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3522 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3525 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3527 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3528 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3529 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3532 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3533 !! for this developer release to work !!
3535 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3536 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3537 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3538 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3539 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3540 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3541 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3542 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3543 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3544 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3545 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3547 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3548 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3549 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3550 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3553 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3555 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3556 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3557 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3559 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3561 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3562 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3565 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3566 called unless they actually need to be.
3567 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3568 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3569 DEMOLISH method present.
3571 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3573 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3574 type constraint, which allows for a
3575 hand optimized version of the type
3576 constraint to be used when possible.
3577 - Any internally created type constraints
3578 now provide an optimized version as well.
3580 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3582 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3583 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3584 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3586 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3587 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3588 your class namespace of these exported
3591 * Moose::Meta::Class
3592 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3593 comes up during global destruction
3595 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3599 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3602 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3603 - changed how we do type checks so that
3604 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3607 - moved accessor generation methods to
3608 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3609 conform to the API changes from
3612 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3613 - changed how constraints are compiled
3614 so that we do less recursion and more
3615 iteration. This makes the type check
3617 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3620 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3621 - created this from methods formerly found in
3622 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3624 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3625 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3627 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3628 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3630 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3631 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3633 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3635 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3636 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3637 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3638 - added tests for this
3639 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3640 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3641 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3642 - removed tests for this
3644 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3646 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3647 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3648 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3651 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3652 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3653 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3655 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3656 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3657 comments for more info.
3660 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3661 asked questions and common problems
3663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3664 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3665 - added tests for this
3667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3668 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3669 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3670 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3672 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3673 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3676 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3677 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3678 is much appreciated :)
3679 - added tests for this
3681 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3682 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3683 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3686 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3687 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3689 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3691 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3692 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3696 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3697 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3698 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3700 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3702 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3705 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3706 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3707 keywords because we need to localize them.
3708 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3710 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3711 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3712 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3715 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3718 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3719 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3720 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3723 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3724 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3725 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3727 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3729 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3730 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3731 bottom of your class file.
3734 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3737 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3739 - improved error message when loading modules so
3740 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3741 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3742 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3745 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3746 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3747 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3749 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3750 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3752 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3753 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3754 turn them on for you.
3755 - added tests for this
3756 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3757 in Moose::Meta::Class

3784 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3785 - This release works in combination with
3786 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3787 release because it uses the a new
3788 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3789 complete Role implementation. It has
3790 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3791 the the previous CPAN version. This
3792 release also lacks good updated docs,
3793 the official release will have updated docs.
3796 - refactored the keyword exports
3797 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3798 accepts more than one Role at a time

3804 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3805 accepts more than one Role at a time
3807 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3809 string enumerations which can be used as
3811 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3814 - more careful checking of params to new()
3817 - much work done on the role composition
3818 - many new tests for conflict detection
3819 and composition edge cases
3820 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3821 looking at the tests
3823 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3824 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3825 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3827 * Moose::Meta::Class

3830 - some small additions to support Roles
3832 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3833 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3835 - some small changes to support the new
3837 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3838 with the 'handles' option
3839 - added several tests for this
3840 - no docs for this yet

3846 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3847 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3848 on a per-attribute basis
3849 - added tests for this
3850 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3851 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
