1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
9 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
11 * Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
12 without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
16 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
17 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
18 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
20 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
21 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
22 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
23 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
24 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
26 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
30 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
31 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
32 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
34 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
38 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
40 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
44 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
45 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
46 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
49 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
51 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
55 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
57 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
61 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
62 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
66 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
67 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
68 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
69 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
70 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
75 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
76 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
77 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
78 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
80 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
81 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
82 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
84 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
85 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
86 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
87 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
89 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
90 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
91 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
92 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
94 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
95 package which was deleted. (doy)
97 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
101 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
103 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
107 * Minor documentation fixes.
109 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
110 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
112 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
116 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
117 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
119 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
123 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
125 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
129 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
131 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
134 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
138 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
140 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
141 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
145 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
146 more values were required. (rjbs)
148 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
152 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
153 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
157 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
158 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
159 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
160 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
162 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
163 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
164 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
166 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
167 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
170 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
171 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
172 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
173 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
177 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
178 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
179 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
180 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
183 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
187 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
188 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
189 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
191 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
192 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
193 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
196 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
197 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
199 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
200 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
203 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
204 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
205 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
207 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
208 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
211 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
212 the associated stash. (doy)
216 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
217 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
218 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
219 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
221 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
225 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
226 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
227 the attribute's reference.
231 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
232 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
237 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
238 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
239 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
242 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
243 the Object constraint).
245 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
249 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
250 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
255 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
257 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
261 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
264 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
266 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
270 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
272 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
276 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
279 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
280 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
281 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
283 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
286 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
290 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
292 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
296 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
298 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
302 * Include changes from 2.0010.
304 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
308 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
309 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
313 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
314 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
315 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
320 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
322 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
326 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
327 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
329 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
333 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
335 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
339 * Various packaging issues.
341 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
345 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
346 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
351 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
352 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
353 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
357 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
358 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
359 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
361 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
365 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
366 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
368 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
372 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
373 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
375 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
378 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
379 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
383 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
384 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
386 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
390 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
391 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
395 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
397 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
401 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
403 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
407 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
408 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
410 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
414 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
416 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
420 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
422 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
423 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
425 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
429 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
430 skips every other role. (rjbs)
432 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
433 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
434 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
435 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
436 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
438 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
442 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
443 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
444 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
447 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
452 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
454 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
455 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
457 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
461 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
462 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
463 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
467 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
468 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
470 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
471 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
473 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
474 environments. (doy, mateu)
476 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
480 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
481 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
482 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
483 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
487 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
488 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
490 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
494 * Update conflicts list.
497 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
501 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
502 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
503 details. (Dave Rolsky)
505 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
506 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
507 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
508 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
509 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
513 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
514 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
515 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
516 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
517 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
520 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
524 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
525 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
527 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
530 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
534 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
535 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
536 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
537 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
539 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
540 immutable classes). (mo)
542 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
543 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
544 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
546 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
550 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
552 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
554 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
558 * Fix some indexing issues.
560 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
562 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
566 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
567 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
568 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
569 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
570 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
572 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
573 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
578 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
579 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
580 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
581 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
583 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
584 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
585 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
589 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
590 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
593 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
597 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
598 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
602 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
606 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
607 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
608 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
609 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
612 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
616 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
619 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
623 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
624 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
625 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
628 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
632 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
633 policy. (Chris Prather)
635 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
636 on this new support policy. (doy)
640 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
641 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
642 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
644 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
645 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
647 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
651 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
652 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
653 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
654 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
657 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
661 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
662 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
665 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
669 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
670 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
672 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
673 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
677 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
678 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
679 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
680 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
681 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
682 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
684 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
685 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
687 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
688 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
689 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
690 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
692 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
693 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
695 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
700 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
701 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
703 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
707 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
708 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
709 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
711 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
715 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
716 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
717 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
719 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
720 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
723 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
724 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
727 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
728 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
729 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
731 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
732 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
737 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
738 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
739 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
740 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
742 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
743 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
745 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
746 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
748 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
749 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
750 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
751 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
753 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
754 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
755 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
758 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
759 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
760 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
761 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
763 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
764 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
767 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
768 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
769 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
771 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
775 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
776 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
777 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
779 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
780 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
781 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
784 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
785 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
786 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
788 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
789 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
790 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
792 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
793 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
797 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
798 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
799 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
801 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
802 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
803 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
804 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
806 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
810 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
811 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
812 value is a reference.
814 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
815 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
817 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
821 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
822 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
823 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
825 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
829 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
830 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
834 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
835 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
836 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
838 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
839 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
840 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
842 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
846 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
848 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
852 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
854 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
855 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
860 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
861 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
863 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
864 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
865 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
866 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
867 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
869 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
870 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
871 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
872 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
874 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
878 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
879 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
884 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
886 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
888 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
893 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
895 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
899 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
900 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
901 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
903 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
904 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
905 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
906 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
908 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
909 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
910 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
911 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
912 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
915 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
920 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
921 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
922 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
923 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
924 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
927 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
931 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
934 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
935 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
939 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
940 function (not just method). (doy)
944 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
945 and aren't easily installable/testable.
947 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
951 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
952 to be overridden more easily (doy).
954 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
958 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
959 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
961 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
965 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
966 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
967 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
969 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
973 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
974 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
975 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
977 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
978 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
982 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
983 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
985 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
986 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
990 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
991 is applied to a class (t0m).
993 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
994 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
996 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
999 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1000 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1002 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1003 be much more robust. (doy)
1005 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1007 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1010 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1014 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1015 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1017 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1021 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1022 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1024 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1027 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1028 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1029 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1031 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1032 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1033 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1036 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1038 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1042 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1043 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1047 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1049 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1053 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1054 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1058 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1059 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1063 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1065 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1069 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1070 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1074 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1075 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1079 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1080 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1082 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1086 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1087 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1088 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1091 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1095 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1096 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1097 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1098 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1100 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1104 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1105 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1106 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1110 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1111 (Michael G. Schwern)
1113 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1118 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1119 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1123 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1124 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1126 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1127 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1128 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1129 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1131 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1135 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1139 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1140 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1142 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1143 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1144 - Moose::Util::does_role
1145 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1146 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1147 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1149 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1153 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1154 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1155 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1158 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1162 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1163 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1166 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1170 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1171 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1174 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1178 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1180 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1181 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1183 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1184 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1185 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1187 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1188 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1189 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1192 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1193 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1195 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1196 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1197 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1199 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1201 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1202 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1204 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1206 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1209 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1210 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1212 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1213 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1215 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1216 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1217 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1218 dependencies installed.
1220 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1221 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1224 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1226 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1230 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1232 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1233 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1234 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1236 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1237 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1238 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1240 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1241 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1244 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1245 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1246 others. (nothingmuch)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1249 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1250 remove_accessors. (doy)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1253 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1254 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1257 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1259 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1261 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1262 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1264 * Moose::Meta::Class
1265 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1266 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1268 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1269 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1271 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1273 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1274 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1278 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1279 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1280 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1281 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1283 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1285 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1286 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1287 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1288 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1289 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1292 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1293 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1294 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1295 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1296 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1298 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1299 which were not receiving the value of
1300 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1301 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1302 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1303 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1307 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1308 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1309 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1310 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1311 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1314 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1315 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1316 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1317 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1319 * Moose::Meta::Class
1320 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1321 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1322 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1325 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1327 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1329 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1330 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1331 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1334 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1335 class if you pass it options for
1336 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1337 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1338 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1339 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1340 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1341 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1342 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1343 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1344 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1346 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1347 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1348 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1349 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1350 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1353 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1355 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1356 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1358 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1359 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1360 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1361 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1362 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1363 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1366 * Moose::Error::Croak
1367 * Moose::Error::Confess
1368 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1369 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1372 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1375 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1376 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1377 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1379 * Moose::Meta::Class
1380 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1383 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1384 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1385 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1387 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1388 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1389 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1390 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1391 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1393 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1394 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1397 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1399 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1400 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1403 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1404 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1406 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1408 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1409 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1412 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1413 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1414 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1415 using it for new code!
1417 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1418 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1419 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1420 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1422 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1423 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1424 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1425 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1426 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1427 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1428 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1429 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1432 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1435 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1436 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1440 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1442 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1443 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1444 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1446 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1447 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1448 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1449 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1451 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1452 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1453 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1455 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1456 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1457 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1460 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1461 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1462 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1463 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1464 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1465 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1467 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1469 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1473 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1474 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1476 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1477 associated_methods. (hdp)
1478 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1479 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1480 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1481 misspelled) arguments
1483 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1484 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1485 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1486 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1488 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1489 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1490 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1492 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1495 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1496 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1497 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1500 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1501 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1503 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1504 * Moose::Meta::Class
1505 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1506 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1508 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1509 * Moose::Manual::Types
1510 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1511 string parsing rathole (mst)
1513 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1514 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1515 using plain objects instead
1517 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1518 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1519 that's what we need.
1521 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1522 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1523 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1524 three times today (perigrin)
1525 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1526 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1528 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1529 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1530 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1531 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1534 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1535 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1536 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1537 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1538 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1539 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1542 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1543 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1544 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1545 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1548 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1550 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1553 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1555 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1558 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1559 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1560 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1564 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1565 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1568 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1569 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1571 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1572 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1573 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1575 * Moose::Unsweetened
1576 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1578 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1579 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1582 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1586 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1587 methods during global destruction (doy)
1589 * Moose::Meta::Class
1590 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1591 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1592 consumption (Sartak)
1594 * Moose::Meta::Class
1595 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1596 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1599 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1600 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1603 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1604 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1606 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1608 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1612 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1613 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1614 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1617 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1618 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1619 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1622 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1624 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1625 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1626 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1629 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1630 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1631 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1632 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1634 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1635 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1636 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1639 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1642 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1643 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1644 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1648 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1649 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1651 * Moose::Meta::Class
1652 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1654 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1656 * Moose::Meta::Class
1657 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1658 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1661 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1662 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1665 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1666 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1669 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1672 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1675 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1678 * Moose::Meta::Class
1679 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1681 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1682 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1685 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1686 * More deprecations and renamings
1687 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1688 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1689 when an object is constructed)
1692 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1693 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1694 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1697 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1698 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1699 feature, and it works again.
1702 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1704 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1706 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1707 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1708 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1710 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1711 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1712 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1713 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1714 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1716 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1717 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1718 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1719 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1720 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1723 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1724 metaclass object. (hdp)
1726 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1727 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1728 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1730 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1731 point out this fact. (hdp)
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1734 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1736 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1737 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1739 * Moose::Meta::Class
1740 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1741 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1742 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1743 called during instance construction were passed the
1744 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1745 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1747 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1748 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1751 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1752 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1753 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1756 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1757 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1758 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1759 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1760 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1762 - Moose::Meta::Class
1763 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1765 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1766 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1767 when an object is constructed)
1768 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1770 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1771 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1772 when an object is constructed)
1773 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1774 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1775 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1778 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1780 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1781 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1783 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1785 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1786 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1787 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1789 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1790 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1791 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1793 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1795 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1796 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1798 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1799 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1802 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1803 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1806 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1807 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1808 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1810 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1811 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1815 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1816 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1817 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1819 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1820 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1823 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1824 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1825 with recommended workarounds.
1827 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1828 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1830 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1831 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1832 (yes, spelled like that).
1834 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1835 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1837 * Moose::Meta::Class
1838 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1839 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1841 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1843 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1844 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1845 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1846 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1847 instead. Reported by doy.
1849 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1851 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1852 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1854 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1855 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1856 message) is now deprecated.
1857 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1858 often got it wrong. For example:
1860 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1862 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1866 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1867 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1868 bite you in weird cases.
1870 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1871 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1872 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1873 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1876 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1880 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1883 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1884 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1887 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1888 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1891 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1894 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1896 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1897 - added tests for this (stevan)
1899 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1900 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1901 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1902 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1906 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1907 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1908 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1909 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1911 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1912 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1913 - added tests for this (rafl)
1915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1916 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1917 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1918 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1922 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1923 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1926 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1927 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1928 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1930 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1932 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1933 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1935 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1936 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1937 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1938 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1939 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1941 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1942 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1943 error message did not specify the attribute name
1946 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1948 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1950 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1951 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1952 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1954 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1955 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1958 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1960 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1961 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1962 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1963 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1965 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1967 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1968 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1969 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1970 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1973 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1974 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1977 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1978 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1979 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1980 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1983 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1984 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1985 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1986 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1989 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1990 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1991 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1992 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1993 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1995 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1996 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1997 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1998 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1999 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2000 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2002 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2003 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2005 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2006 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2007 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2008 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2010 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2011 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2014 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2018 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2019 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2021 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2022 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2023 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2024 guts. (nothingmuch).
2026 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2027 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2028 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2030 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2031 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2032 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2033 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2035 * Moose::Meta::Class
2036 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2039 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2040 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2042 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2043 * Moose::Unsweetened
2044 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2047 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2048 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2049 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2050 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2051 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2052 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2054 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2055 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2056 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2057 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2058 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2059 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2060 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2061 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2062 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2063 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2065 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2067 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2068 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2071 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2072 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2073 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2075 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2076 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2077 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2078 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2079 same methods for a single role did not work
2080 right (worked just fine with multiple
2082 - added test for this (stevan)
2084 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2085 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2086 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2089 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2090 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2091 - added test for this (t0m)
2094 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2095 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2096 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2099 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2100 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2101 - added test for this (t0m)
2103 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2104 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2105 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2106 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2107 - added test for this (perigrin)
2110 - create method for constructing a role
2111 dynamically (Sartak)
2112 - added test for this (Sartak)
2113 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2114 - added test for this (Sartak)
2117 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2119 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2120 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2121 methods is useful (Sartak)
2123 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2125 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2128 * Moose::Meta::Class
2129 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2130 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2131 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2132 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2133 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2134 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2137 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2138 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2140 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2141 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2142 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2143 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2144 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2146 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2148 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2149 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2150 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2153 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2154 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2155 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2156 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2157 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2158 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2161 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2162 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2163 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2164 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2165 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2166 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2167 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2168 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2169 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2170 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2171 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2173 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2174 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2177 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2178 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2179 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2180 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2181 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2183 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2185 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2186 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2187 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2190 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2192 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2193 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2194 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2195 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2198 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2199 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2201 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2203 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2204 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2206 * Moose::Meta::Class
2207 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2208 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2209 a required attribute
2211 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2213 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2214 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2216 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2217 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2220 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2221 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2222 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2223 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2224 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2225 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2226 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2228 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2229 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2230 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2232 * Roles and role application
2233 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2234 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2235 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2236 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2237 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2239 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2240 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2243 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2244 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2245 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2246 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2247 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2250 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2251 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2252 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2253 changes in the Moose internals.
2255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2257 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2260 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2261 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2262 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2263 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2265 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2266 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2267 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2268 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2270 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2271 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2272 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2273 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2274 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2275 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2276 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2277 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2278 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2279 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2280 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2281 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2282 constraint implementations.
2284 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2288 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2289 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2290 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2291 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2292 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2293 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2294 - added tests for this (rafl)
2296 * Moose::Meta::Class
2297 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2298 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2299 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2300 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2301 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2302 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2303 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2304 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2307 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2308 - added tests for this (thepler)
2310 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2311 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2312 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2313 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2316 * Moose::Meta::Class
2317 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2318 * Moose::Meta::Method
2321 * Moose::Error::Default
2322 * Moose::Error::Croak
2323 * Moose::Error::Confess
2324 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2325 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2326 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2327 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2328 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2329 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2331 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2333 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2334 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2336 * Moose::Unsweetened
2337 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2338 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2339 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2341 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2342 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2343 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2344 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2345 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2348 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2349 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2351 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2352 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2353 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2354 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2357 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2359 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2360 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2362 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2365 - Various bug fixes.
2367 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2368 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2370 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2372 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2373 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2374 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2375 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2376 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2377 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2379 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2380 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2381 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2383 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2384 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2385 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2388 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2389 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2390 dependency to 0.64_07.
2392 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2393 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2394 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2396 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2397 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2400 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2401 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2402 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2403 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2404 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2405 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2407 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2408 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2410 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2412 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2413 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2417 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2418 method when that method was provided by another role being
2419 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2420 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2422 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2424 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2425 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2428 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2429 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2430 - added test for this (t0m)
2432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2433 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2434 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2436 - added test for this (t0m)
2439 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2440 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2441 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2444 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2445 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2447 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2449 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2450 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2452 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2453 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2454 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2456 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2457 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2460 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2461 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2462 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2463 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2467 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2468 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2469 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2472 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2473 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2474 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2475 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2478 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2482 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2483 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2484 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2486 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2487 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2488 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2489 created so that the process can be more easily
2490 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2492 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2493 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2494 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2495 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2497 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2498 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2501 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2502 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2504 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2505 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2506 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2508 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2509 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2510 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2512 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2513 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2515 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2516 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2519 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2520 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2524 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2525 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2527 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2528 ... this is not my day today ...
2530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2531 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2532 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2533 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2534 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2537 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2538 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2539 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2540 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2541 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2544 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2546 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2547 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2548 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2549 this is not ever something you want to do
2550 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2551 - added tests for this (stevan)
2554 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2556 - added test for this
2558 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2559 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2560 - added tests for this (wreis)
2562 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2563 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2564 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2565 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2567 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2568 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2569 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2572 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2574 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2576 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2579 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2580 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2581 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2582 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2583 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2584 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2585 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2586 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2587 - added tests for this
2589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2590 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2591 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2592 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2594 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2596 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2597 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2598 - added tests for this (sartak)
2599 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2600 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2603 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2605 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2606 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2609 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2610 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2611 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2613 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2615 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2616 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2619 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2620 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2621 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2623 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2624 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2625 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2627 - added docs for this (TODO).
2628 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2629 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2630 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2631 - fix builder and default both being used
2636 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2638 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2639 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2640 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2644 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2648 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2649 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2650 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2652 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2653 - move the ClassName type check code to
2654 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2656 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2657 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2659 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2660 (early morning release engineering)--
2662 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2663 which was causing the indexer to choke
2665 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2666 (late night release engineering)--
2668 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2669 changes in this release
2671 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2672 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2673 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2675 * Moose::Meta::Class
2676 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2677 since it is called so often by &meta
2679 * Moose::Meta::Class
2681 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2682 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2686 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2687 method for immutablization to check if the
2688 destructor object even needs to be created
2691 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2692 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2693 - added more descriptive error message to help
2694 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2695 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2697 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2699 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2700 XS based functionality is now optional
2701 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2702 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2703 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2705 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2706 to take care of this, mostly we added
2707 support for the package_name and name
2708 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2709 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2710 support regexp matching of names
2711 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2712 - tests added for this
2713 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2714 is currently not supported in roles,
2715 but, ... patches welcome
2716 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2717 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2718 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2721 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2722 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2723 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2724 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2725 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2726 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2727 - added test for this
2729 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2730 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2731 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2734 * Moose::Meta::Class
2735 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2739 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2741 - added tests for this
2742 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2743 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2745 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2746 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2747 themselves parameterizable types
2749 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2750 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2751 called by the inlined immutable
2753 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2755 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2756 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2757 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2758 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2760 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2761 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2765 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2766 causing occasional cpantester failures
2767 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2768 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2770 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2772 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2773 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2776 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2777 ->body when looping through the
2778 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2780 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2781 eating the $@ values, and so not
2782 working correctly, it still kind of
2783 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2784 - added tests for this

2924 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2926 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3264 when they encounter overriden or modified
3265 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3266 - added tests for this

3276 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3279 * Parameterized Types
3280 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3281 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3282 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3283 They can also be nested:
3284 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3285 And work with the type unions as well:
3286 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3288 * Better Framework Extendability
3289 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3290 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3291 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3292 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3295 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3296 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3297 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3298 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3460 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3461 - added tests and docs for this
3462 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3463 default for where be { 1 }
3464 - added test for this
3466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3467 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3468 merlyn for finding this bug
3469 - tests added for this
3470 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3473 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3474 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3475 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3476 - added tests for this
3478 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3480 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3481 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

3492 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3493 where not handled correctly in roles
3494 - added tests for this
3496 * Moose::Meta::Class
3497 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3498 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3499 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3501 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3502 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3504 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3505 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3506 so this release is just to fix that.
3509 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3510 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3511 (thanks to konobi for this)
3512 - added tests and docs
3514 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3515 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3517 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3518 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3519 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3520 - added tests for this
3521 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3522 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3523 functions to facilitate introspection.
3525 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3526 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3527 to build the list of delegated methods
3528 correctly (and not override important
3529 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3531 - added tests and docs for this
3532 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3533 so that you can actually document your
3534 attributes and inspect them through the
3536 - added tests and docs for this
3538 * Moose::Meta::Class
3539 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3540 it will first look in for the class in the
3541 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3542 then default to just loading $name.
3543 - added tests and docs for this
3545 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3546 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3547 - added test for this
3550 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3551 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3552 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3553 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3555 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3556 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3559 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3561 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3562 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3563 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3566 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3567 !! for this developer release to work !!
3569 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3570 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3571 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3572 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3573 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3574 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3575 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3576 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3577 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3578 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3579 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3581 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3582 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3583 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3584 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3587 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3588 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3589 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3590 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3591 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3593 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3595 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3596 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3599 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3600 called unless they actually need to be.
3601 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3602 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3603 DEMOLISH method present.
3605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3606 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3607 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3608 type constraint, which allows for a
3609 hand optimized version of the type
3610 constraint to be used when possible.
3611 - Any internally created type constraints
3612 now provide an optimized version as well.
3614 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3616 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3617 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3618 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3620 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3621 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3622 your class namespace of these exported
3625 * Moose::Meta::Class
3626 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3627 comes up during global destruction
3629 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3633 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3636 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3637 - changed how we do type checks so that
3638 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3641 - moved accessor generation methods to
3642 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3643 conform to the API changes from
3646 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3647 - changed how constraints are compiled
3648 so that we do less recursion and more
3649 iteration. This makes the type check
3651 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3655 - created this from methods formerly found in
3656 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3658 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3659 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3661 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3662 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3664 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3665 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3667 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3669 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3670 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3671 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3672 - added tests for this
3673 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3674 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3675 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3676 - removed tests for this
3678 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3680 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3681 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3682 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3685 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3686 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3687 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3689 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3690 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3691 comments for more info.
3694 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3695 asked questions and common problems
3697 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3698 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3699 - added tests for this
3701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3702 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3703 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3704 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3706 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3707 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3710 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3711 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3712 is much appreciated :)
3713 - added tests for this
3715 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3716 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3717 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3720 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3721 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3723 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3725 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3726 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3730 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3731 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3732 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3734 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3736 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3739 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3740 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3741 keywords because we need to localize them.
3742 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3744 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3745 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3746 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3749 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3752 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3753 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3754 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3757 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3758 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3759 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3761 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3763 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3764 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3765 bottom of your class file.
3768 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3771 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3773 - improved error message when loading modules so
3774 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3775 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3776 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3779 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3780 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3781 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3783 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3784 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3786 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3787 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3788 turn them on for you.
3789 - added tests for this
3790 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3791 in Moose::Meta::Class

3818 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3819 - This release works in combination with
3820 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3821 release because it uses the a new
3822 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3823 complete Role implementation. It has
3824 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3825 the the previous CPAN version. This
3826 release also lacks good updated docs,
3827 the official release will have updated docs.
3830 - refactored the keyword exports
3831 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3832 accepts more than one Role at a time

3838 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3839 accepts more than one Role at a time
3841 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3843 string enumerations which can be used as
3845 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3848 - more careful checking of params to new()
3851 - much work done on the role composition
3852 - many new tests for conflict detection
3853 and composition edge cases
3854 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3855 looking at the tests
3857 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3858 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3859 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3861 * Moose::Meta::Class

3864 - some small additions to support Roles
3866 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3867 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3869 - some small changes to support the new
3871 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3872 with the 'handles' option
3873 - added several tests for this
3874 - no docs for this yet

3878 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3879 thanks to chansen for this commit
3880 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3881 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3882 on a per-attribute basis
3883 - added tests for this
3884 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3885 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3886 experimental feature and probably not finished
