1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
10 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
14 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
16 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
20 * Include changes from 2.0010.
22 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
26 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
27 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
31 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
32 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
33 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
38 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
40 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
44 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
45 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
47 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
51 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
53 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
57 * Various packaging issues.
59 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
63 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
64 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
69 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
70 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
71 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
75 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
76 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
77 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
79 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
83 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
84 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
86 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
90 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
91 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
93 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
96 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
97 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
101 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
102 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
104 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
108 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
109 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
113 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
115 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
119 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
121 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
125 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
126 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
128 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
132 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
134 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
138 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
140 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
141 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
143 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
147 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
148 skips every other role. (rjbs)
150 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
151 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
152 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
153 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
154 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
156 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
160 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
161 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
162 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
165 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
170 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
172 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
173 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
175 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
179 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
180 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
181 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
185 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
186 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
188 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
189 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
191 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
192 environments. (doy, mateu)
194 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
198 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
199 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
200 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
201 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
205 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
206 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
208 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
212 * Update conflicts list.
215 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
219 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
220 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
221 details. (Dave Rolsky)
223 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
224 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
225 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
226 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
227 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
231 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
232 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
233 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
234 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
235 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
238 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
242 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
243 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
245 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
248 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
252 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
253 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
254 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
255 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
257 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
258 immutable classes). (mo)
260 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
261 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
262 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
264 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
268 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
270 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
272 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
276 * Fix some indexing issues.
278 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
280 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
284 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
285 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
286 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
287 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
288 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
290 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
291 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
296 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
297 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
298 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
299 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
301 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
302 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
303 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
307 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
308 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
311 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
315 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
316 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
320 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
324 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
325 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
326 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
327 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
330 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
334 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
337 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
341 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
342 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
343 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
346 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
350 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
351 policy. (Chris Prather)
353 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
354 on this new support policy. (doy)
358 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
359 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
360 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
362 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
363 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
365 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
369 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
370 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
371 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
372 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
375 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
379 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
380 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
383 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
387 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
388 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
390 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
391 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
395 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
396 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
397 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
398 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
399 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
400 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
402 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
403 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
405 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
406 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
407 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
408 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
410 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
411 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
413 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
418 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
419 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
421 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
425 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
426 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
427 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
429 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
433 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
434 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
435 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
438 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
441 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
442 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
445 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
446 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
447 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
449 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
450 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
455 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
456 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
457 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
458 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
460 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
461 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
463 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
464 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
466 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
467 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
468 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
469 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
471 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
472 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
473 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
476 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
477 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
478 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
479 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
481 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
482 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
485 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
486 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
487 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
489 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
493 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
494 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
495 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
497 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
498 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
499 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
502 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
503 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
504 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
506 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
507 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
508 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
510 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
511 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
515 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
516 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
517 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
519 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
520 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
521 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
522 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
524 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
528 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
529 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
530 value is a reference.
532 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
533 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
535 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
539 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
540 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
541 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
543 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
547 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
548 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
552 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
553 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
554 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
556 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
557 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
558 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
560 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
564 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
566 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
570 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
572 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
573 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
578 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
579 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
581 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
582 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
583 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
584 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
585 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
587 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
588 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
589 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
590 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
592 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
596 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
597 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
602 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
604 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
606 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
611 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
613 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
617 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
618 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
619 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
621 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
622 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
623 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
624 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
626 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
627 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
628 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
629 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
630 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
633 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
638 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
639 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
640 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
641 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
642 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
645 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
649 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
652 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
653 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
657 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
658 function (not just method). (doy)
662 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
663 and aren't easily installable/testable.
665 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
669 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
670 to be overridden more easily (doy).
672 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
676 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
677 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
679 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
683 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
684 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
685 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
687 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
691 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
692 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
693 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
695 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
696 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
700 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
701 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
703 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
704 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
708 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
709 is applied to a class (t0m).
711 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
712 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
714 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
717 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
718 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
720 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
721 be much more robust. (doy)
723 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
725 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
728 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
732 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
733 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
735 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
739 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
740 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
742 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
745 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
746 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
747 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
749 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
750 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
751 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
754 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
756 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
760 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
761 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
765 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
767 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
771 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
772 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
776 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
777 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
781 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
783 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
787 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
788 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
792 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
793 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
797 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
798 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
800 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
804 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
805 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
806 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
809 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
813 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
814 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
815 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
816 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
818 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
822 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
823 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
824 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
828 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
831 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
835 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
836 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
837 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
841 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
842 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
844 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
845 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
846 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
847 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
849 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
853 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
857 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
858 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
860 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
861 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
862 - Moose::Util::does_role
863 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
864 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
865 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
867 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
871 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
872 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
873 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
876 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
880 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
881 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
884 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
888 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
889 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
892 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
896 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
898 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
899 class. (Dave Rolsky).
901 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
902 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
903 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
905 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
906 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
907 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
910 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
911 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
913 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
914 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
915 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
917 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
919 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
920 substr et al, again. (sorear)
922 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
924 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
927 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
928 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
930 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
931 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
933 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
934 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
935 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
936 dependencies installed.
938 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
939 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
942 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
944 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
948 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
950 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
951 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
952 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
955 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
956 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
958 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
959 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
962 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
963 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
964 others. (nothingmuch)
966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
967 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
968 remove_accessors. (doy)
970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
971 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
972 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
975 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
977 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
979 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
980 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
983 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
984 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
986 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
987 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
989 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
991 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
992 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
995 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
996 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
997 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
998 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
999 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1001 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1003 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1004 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1005 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1006 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1007 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1010 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1011 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1012 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1013 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1014 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1016 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1017 which were not receiving the value of
1018 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1019 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1020 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1021 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1025 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1026 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1027 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1028 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1029 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1033 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1034 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1035 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1037 * Moose::Meta::Class
1038 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1039 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1040 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1043 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1044 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1045 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1048 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1049 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1052 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1053 class if you pass it options for
1054 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1055 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1056 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1057 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1058 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1059 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1060 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1061 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1062 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1064 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1065 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1066 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1067 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1068 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1071 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1072 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1073 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1074 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1076 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1077 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1078 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1079 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1080 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1081 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1084 * Moose::Error::Croak
1085 * Moose::Error::Confess
1086 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1087 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1090 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1093 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1094 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1095 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1097 * Moose::Meta::Class
1098 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1101 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1102 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1103 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1105 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1106 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1107 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1108 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1109 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1112 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1115 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1117 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1118 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1121 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1122 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1124 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1125 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1126 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1127 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1129 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1130 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1131 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1132 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1133 using it for new code!
1135 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1136 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1137 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1138 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1140 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1141 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1142 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1143 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1144 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1145 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1146 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1147 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1150 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1153 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1154 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1158 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1161 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1162 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1164 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1166 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1167 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1169 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1170 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1171 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1173 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1174 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1175 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1178 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1179 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1180 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1181 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1182 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1183 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1185 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1187 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1191 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1192 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1194 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1195 associated_methods. (hdp)
1196 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1197 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1198 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1199 misspelled) arguments
1201 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1202 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1203 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1204 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1206 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1208 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1210 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1213 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1214 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1215 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1218 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1219 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1221 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1222 * Moose::Meta::Class
1223 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1224 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1226 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1227 * Moose::Manual::Types
1228 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1229 string parsing rathole (mst)
1231 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1232 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1233 using plain objects instead
1235 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1236 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1237 that's what we need.
1239 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1240 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1241 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1242 three times today (perigrin)
1243 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1244 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1247 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1248 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1249 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1252 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1253 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1254 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1255 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1256 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1257 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1260 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1261 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1262 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1263 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1266 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1268 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1271 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1273 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1276 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1277 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1278 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1282 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1283 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1286 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1287 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1289 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1290 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1291 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1293 * Moose::Unsweetened
1294 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1296 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1297 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1300 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1304 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1305 methods during global destruction (doy)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class
1308 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1309 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1310 consumption (Sartak)
1312 * Moose::Meta::Class
1313 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1314 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1317 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1318 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1321 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1322 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1324 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1326 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1330 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1331 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1332 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1335 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1336 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1337 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1340 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1342 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1343 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1344 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1347 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1348 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1349 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1350 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1352 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1353 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1354 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1357 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1360 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1361 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1362 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1366 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1367 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1369 * Moose::Meta::Class
1370 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1372 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1374 * Moose::Meta::Class
1375 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1376 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1379 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1380 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1383 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1384 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1387 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1390 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1392 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1393 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1396 * Moose::Meta::Class
1397 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1400 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1403 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1404 * More deprecations and renamings
1405 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1406 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1407 when an object is constructed)
1410 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1411 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1412 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1415 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1416 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1417 feature, and it works again.
1420 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1422 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1424 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1425 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1426 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1428 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1429 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1430 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1431 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1432 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1434 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1435 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1436 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1437 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1438 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1441 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1442 metaclass object. (hdp)
1444 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1445 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1446 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1447 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1448 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1449 point out this fact. (hdp)
1451 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1452 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1454 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1455 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1457 * Moose::Meta::Class
1458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1459 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1460 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1461 called during instance construction were passed the
1462 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1463 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1465 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1466 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1469 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1470 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1471 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1474 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1475 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1476 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1477 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1478 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1480 - Moose::Meta::Class
1481 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1483 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1484 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1485 when an object is constructed)
1486 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1488 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1489 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1490 when an object is constructed)
1491 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1492 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1493 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1496 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1498 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1499 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1501 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1503 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1504 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1505 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1508 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1509 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1511 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1513 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1514 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1516 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1517 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1520 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1521 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1524 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1525 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1526 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1528 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1529 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1533 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1534 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1535 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1538 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1541 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1542 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1543 with recommended workarounds.
1545 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1546 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1549 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1550 (yes, spelled like that).
1552 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1553 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1555 * Moose::Meta::Class
1556 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1557 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1559 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1561 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1562 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1563 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1564 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1565 instead. Reported by doy.
1567 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1569 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1570 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1572 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1573 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1574 message) is now deprecated.
1575 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1576 often got it wrong. For example:
1578 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1580 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1584 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1585 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1586 bite you in weird cases.
1588 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1589 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1590 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1591 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1593 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1594 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1598 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1601 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1602 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1605 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1606 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1608 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1609 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1612 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1613 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1614 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1615 - added tests for this (stevan)
1617 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1618 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1619 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1620 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1624 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1625 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1626 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1627 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1629 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1630 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1631 - added tests for this (rafl)
1633 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1634 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1635 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1636 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1640 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1641 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1644 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1645 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1646 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1648 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1650 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1651 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1653 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1654 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1655 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1656 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1657 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1659 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1660 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1661 error message did not specify the attribute name
1664 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1666 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1668 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1669 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1670 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1672 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1673 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1676 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1678 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1679 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1680 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1681 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1683 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1685 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1686 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1687 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1688 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1690 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1691 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1692 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1695 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1696 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1697 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1698 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1701 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1702 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1703 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1704 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1706 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1707 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1708 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1709 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1710 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1711 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1713 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1714 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1715 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1716 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1717 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1718 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1720 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1721 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1723 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1724 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1725 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1726 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1729 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1732 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1736 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1737 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1739 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1740 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1741 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1742 guts. (nothingmuch).
1744 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1745 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1746 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1749 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1750 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1751 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1753 * Moose::Meta::Class
1754 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1757 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1758 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1760 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1761 * Moose::Unsweetened
1762 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1765 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1766 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1767 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1768 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1769 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1770 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1772 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1773 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1774 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1775 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1776 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1777 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1778 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1779 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1780 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1781 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1783 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1785 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1786 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1789 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1790 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1791 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1793 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1794 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1795 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1796 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1797 same methods for a single role did not work
1798 right (worked just fine with multiple
1800 - added test for this (stevan)
1802 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1803 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1804 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1807 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1808 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1809 - added test for this (t0m)
1812 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1813 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1814 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1817 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1818 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1819 - added test for this (t0m)
1821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1822 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1823 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1824 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1825 - added test for this (perigrin)
1828 - create method for constructing a role
1829 dynamically (Sartak)
1830 - added test for this (Sartak)
1831 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1832 - added test for this (Sartak)
1835 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1837 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1838 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1839 methods is useful (Sartak)
1841 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1842 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1843 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1846 * Moose::Meta::Class
1847 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1848 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1849 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1850 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1851 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1852 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1855 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1856 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1858 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1859 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1860 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1861 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1862 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1864 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1866 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1867 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1871 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1872 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1873 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1874 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1875 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1876 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1880 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1881 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1882 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1883 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1884 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1885 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1886 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1887 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1888 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1889 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1891 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1892 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1895 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1896 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1897 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1898 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1899 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1901 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1903 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1904 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1905 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1907 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1908 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1910 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1911 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1912 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1913 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1916 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1917 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1919 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1921 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1922 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1924 * Moose::Meta::Class
1925 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1926 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1927 a required attribute
1929 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1930 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1931 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1932 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1934 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1935 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1938 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1939 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1940 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1941 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1942 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1943 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1944 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1946 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1947 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1948 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1950 * Roles and role application
1951 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1952 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1953 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1954 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1955 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1957 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1958 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1961 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1962 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1963 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1964 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1965 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1968 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1969 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1970 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1971 changes in the Moose internals.
1973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1975 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1978 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1979 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1980 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1981 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1983 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1984 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1985 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1986 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1989 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1990 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1991 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1992 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1993 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1994 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1995 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1996 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1997 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1998 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1999 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2000 constraint implementations.
2002 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2006 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2007 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2008 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2009 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2010 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2011 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2012 - added tests for this (rafl)
2014 * Moose::Meta::Class
2015 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2016 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2017 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2018 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2019 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2020 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2021 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2022 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2025 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2026 - added tests for this (thepler)
2028 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2029 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2030 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2031 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2034 * Moose::Meta::Class
2035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2036 * Moose::Meta::Method
2039 * Moose::Error::Default
2040 * Moose::Error::Croak
2041 * Moose::Error::Confess
2042 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2043 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2044 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2045 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2046 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2047 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2049 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2051 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2052 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2054 * Moose::Unsweetened
2055 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2056 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2057 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2059 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2060 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2061 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2062 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2063 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2066 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2067 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2069 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2070 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2071 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2072 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2121 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2122 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2123 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2125 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2126 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is

2168 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2170 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2246 ... this is not my day today ...
2248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2249 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2250 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2251 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2252 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2255 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2256 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2257 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2258 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2259 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2262 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2264 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2265 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2297 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2298 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2299 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2300 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2301 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2302 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2303 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2304 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2305 - added tests for this
2307 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2308 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2309 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2418 XS based functionality is now optional
2419 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2524 drink more coffee before
2525 doing release engineering

2780 - added test for this (also Dave Rolsky)
2782 * Moose::Meta::Class
2783 - improved error message on _apply_all_roles,
2784 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2785 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2786 method in the first place ;)
2788 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2789 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2790 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~

2796 - this release contains a major reworking and
2797 cleanup of the role system
2798 - 100% backwards compat.
2799 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2800 classes based on type of applicants
2801 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2802 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2803 used in this process
2804 - new Composite role metaclass
2805 - runtime application of roles to instances
2806 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2807 classes when applicable
2809 * <<New Role composition features>>

2840 - added this module to support the refactor
2841 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2843 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized

2845 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2849 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2851 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2852 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2853 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2855 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2891 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2892 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2893 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2896 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2897 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2898 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2899 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2903 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2904 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2905 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2913 - added docs for this
2915 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2916 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2934 with work correctly.
2935 - added tests for this
2938 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2939 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2942 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an

2978 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2981 - fixed how required methods are handled
2982 when they encounter overriden or modified
2983 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2984 - added tests for this
2986 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2987 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2988 the | always creates a union and so is
2989 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2990 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2992 - added more tests for this
2994 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2997 * Parameterized Types
2998 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2999 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3000 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3001 They can also be nested:
3002 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3003 And work with the type unions as well:
3004 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3006 * Better Framework Extendability
3007 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3008 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3009 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3010 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3013 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3014 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3015 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3016 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3019 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3021 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3022 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3081 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3082 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3084 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3173 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3174 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3175 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3176 prototypes for functions
3177 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3178 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3188 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3191 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3192 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3193 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3194 - added tests for this
3196 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3198 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3220 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3222 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3223 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3224 so this release is just to fix that.
3227 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3228 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3229 (thanks to konobi for this)

3240 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3241 functions to facilitate introspection.
3243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3244 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3245 to build the list of delegated methods
3246 correctly (and not override important
3247 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3249 - added tests and docs for this
3250 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3251 so that you can actually document your
3252 attributes and inspect them through the
3254 - added tests and docs for this
3256 * Moose::Meta::Class
3257 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3258 it will first look in for the class in the
3259 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3260 then default to just loading $name.
3261 - added tests and docs for this
3263 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3264 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3265 - added test for this
3268 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3269 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3270 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3271 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3273 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3274 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3277 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3279 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3280 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3281 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3284 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3285 !! for this developer release to work !!
3287 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3288 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3289 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3290 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3291 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3292 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3293 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3294 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3295 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3296 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3297 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3299 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3300 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3301 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3302 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3305 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3306 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3307 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3308 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3309 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3311 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3313 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3314 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3317 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3318 called unless they actually need to be.
3319 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3320 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3321 DEMOLISH method present.
3323 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3324 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3325 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3326 type constraint, which allows for a
3327 hand optimized version of the type
3328 constraint to be used when possible.
3329 - Any internally created type constraints
3330 now provide an optimized version as well.
3332 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3334 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3335 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3336 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3339 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3340 your class namespace of these exported
3343 * Moose::Meta::Class
3344 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3345 comes up during global destruction
3347 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3351 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3354 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3355 - changed how we do type checks so that
3356 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3359 - moved accessor generation methods to
3360 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3361 conform to the API changes from
3364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3365 - changed how constraints are compiled
3366 so that we do less recursion and more
3367 iteration. This makes the type check
3369 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3372 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3373 - created this from methods formerly found in
3374 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3376 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3377 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3379 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3380 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3382 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3383 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3385 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3388 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3389 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3390 - added tests for this
3391 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3392 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3393 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3394 - removed tests for this
3396 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3398 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3399 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3400 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3403 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3404 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3405 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3407 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3408 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3409 comments for more info.
3412 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3413 asked questions and common problems
3415 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3416 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3417 - added tests for this
3419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3420 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3421 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3422 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3424 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3425 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3428 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3429 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3430 is much appreciated :)
3431 - added tests for this
3433 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3434 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3435 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3438 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3439 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3441 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3443 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3444 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3448 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3449 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3450 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3452 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3454 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3457 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3458 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3459 keywords because we need to localize them.
3460 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3462 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3463 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3464 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3467 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3470 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3471 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3472 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3475 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3476 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3477 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3479 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3481 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3482 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3483 bottom of your class file.
3486 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3489 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3491 - improved error message when loading modules so
3492 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3493 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3494 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3497 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3498 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3499 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3502 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3504 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3505 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3506 turn them on for you.
3507 - added tests for this
3508 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3509 in Moose::Meta::Class
3512 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3513 automatically turned on for you.
3514 - added tests for this
3517 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3518 - added tests for this
3519 - added some more edge case tests

3535 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3536 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3537 - This release works in combination with
3538 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3539 release because it uses the a new
3540 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3541 complete Role implementation. It has
3542 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3543 the the previous CPAN version. This
3544 release also lacks good updated docs,
3545 the official release will have updated docs.
3548 - refactored the keyword exports
3549 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3550 accepts more than one Role at a time
3551 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3552 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3555 - refactored the keyword exports
3556 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3557 accepts more than one Role at a time
3559 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3560 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3561 string enumerations which can be used as
3563 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3566 - more careful checking of params to new()
3569 - much work done on the role composition
3570 - many new tests for conflict detection
3571 and composition edge cases
3572 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3573 looking at the tests
3575 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3576 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3577 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3579 * Moose::Meta::Class
3580 - some small changes to support the new
3582 - some small additions to support Roles
3584 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3585 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3587 - some small changes to support the new
3589 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3590 with the 'handles' option
3591 - added several tests for this
3592 - no docs for this yet
3594 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3596 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3597 thanks to chansen for this commit
3598 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3599 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3600 on a per-attribute basis
3601 - added tests for this
3602 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3603 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3604 experimental feature and probably not finished
3605 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3606 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3607 - added tests for this
