2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
10 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
11 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
12 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
13 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
14 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
16 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
20 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
21 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
22 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
24 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
28 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
30 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
34 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
35 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
36 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
39 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
41 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
45 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
47 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
51 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
52 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
56 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
57 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
58 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
59 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
60 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
65 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
66 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
67 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
68 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
70 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
71 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
72 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
74 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
75 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
76 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
77 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
79 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
80 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
81 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
82 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
84 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
85 package which was deleted. (doy)
87 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
91 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
93 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
97 * Minor documentation fixes.
99 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
100 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
102 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
106 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
107 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
109 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
113 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
115 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
119 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
121 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
124 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
128 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
130 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
131 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
135 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
136 more values were required. (rjbs)
138 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
142 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
143 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
147 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
148 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
149 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
150 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
152 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
153 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
154 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
156 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
157 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
160 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
161 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
162 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
163 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
167 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
168 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
169 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
170 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
173 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
177 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
178 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
179 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
181 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
182 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
183 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
185 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
186 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
187 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
189 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
190 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
193 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
194 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
195 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
197 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
198 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
201 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
202 the associated stash. (doy)
206 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
207 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
208 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
209 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
211 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
215 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
216 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
217 the attribute's reference.
221 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
222 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
227 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
228 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
229 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
232 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
233 the Object constraint).
235 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
239 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
240 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
245 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
247 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
251 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
254 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
256 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
260 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
262 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
266 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
269 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
270 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
271 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
273 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
276 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
280 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
282 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
286 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
288 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
292 * Include changes from 2.0010.
294 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
298 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
299 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
303 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
304 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
305 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
310 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
312 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
316 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
317 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
319 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
323 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
325 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
329 * Various packaging issues.
331 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
335 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
336 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
341 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
342 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
343 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
347 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
348 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
349 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
351 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
355 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
356 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
358 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
362 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
363 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
365 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
368 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
369 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
373 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
374 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
376 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
380 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
381 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
385 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
387 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
391 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
393 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
397 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
398 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
400 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
404 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
406 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
410 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
412 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
413 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
415 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
419 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
420 skips every other role. (rjbs)
422 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
423 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
424 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
425 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
426 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
428 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
432 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
433 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
434 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
437 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
442 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
444 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
445 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
447 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
451 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
452 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
453 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
457 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
458 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
460 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
461 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
463 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
464 environments. (doy, mateu)
466 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
470 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
471 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
472 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
473 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
477 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
478 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
480 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
484 * Update conflicts list.
487 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
491 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
492 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
493 details. (Dave Rolsky)
495 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
496 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
497 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
498 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
499 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
503 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
504 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
505 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
506 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
507 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
510 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
514 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
515 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
517 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
520 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
524 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
525 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
526 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
527 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
529 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
530 immutable classes). (mo)
532 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
533 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
534 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
536 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
540 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
542 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
544 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
548 * Fix some indexing issues.
550 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
552 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
556 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
557 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
558 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
559 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
560 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
562 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
563 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
568 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
569 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
570 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
571 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
573 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
574 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
575 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
579 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
580 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
583 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
587 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
588 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
592 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
596 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
597 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
598 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
599 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
602 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
606 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
609 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
613 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
614 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
615 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
618 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
622 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
623 policy. (Chris Prather)
625 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
626 on this new support policy. (doy)
630 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
631 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
632 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
634 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
635 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
637 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
641 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
642 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
643 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
644 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
647 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
651 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
652 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
655 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
659 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
660 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
662 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
663 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
667 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
668 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
669 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
670 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
671 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
672 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
674 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
675 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
677 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
678 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
679 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
680 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
682 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
683 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
685 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
690 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
691 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
693 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
697 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
698 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
699 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
701 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
705 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
706 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
707 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
709 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
710 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
713 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
714 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
717 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
718 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
719 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
721 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
722 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
727 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
728 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
729 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
730 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
732 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
733 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
735 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
736 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
738 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
739 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
740 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
741 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
743 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
744 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
745 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
748 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
749 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
750 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
751 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
753 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
754 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
757 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
758 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
759 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
761 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
765 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
766 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
767 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
769 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
770 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
771 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
774 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
775 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
776 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
778 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
779 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
780 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
782 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
783 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
787 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
788 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
789 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
791 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
792 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
793 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
794 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
796 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
800 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
801 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
802 value is a reference.
804 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
805 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
807 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
811 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
812 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
813 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
815 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
819 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
820 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
824 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
825 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
826 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
828 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
829 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
830 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
832 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
836 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
838 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
842 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
844 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
845 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
850 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
851 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
853 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
854 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
855 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
856 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
857 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
859 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
860 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
861 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
862 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
864 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
868 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
869 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
874 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
876 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
878 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
883 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
885 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
889 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
890 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
891 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
893 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
894 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
895 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
896 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
898 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
899 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
900 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
901 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
902 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
905 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
910 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
911 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
912 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
913 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
914 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
917 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
921 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
924 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
925 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
929 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
930 function (not just method). (doy)
934 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
935 and aren't easily installable/testable.
937 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
941 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
942 to be overridden more easily (doy).
944 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
948 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
949 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
951 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
955 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
956 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
957 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
959 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
963 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
964 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
965 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
967 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
968 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
972 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
973 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
975 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
976 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
980 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
981 is applied to a class (t0m).
983 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
984 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
986 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
989 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
990 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
992 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
993 be much more robust. (doy)
995 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
997 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1000 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1004 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1005 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1007 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1011 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1012 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1014 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1017 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1018 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1019 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1021 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1022 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1023 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1026 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1028 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1032 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1033 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1037 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1039 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1044 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1048 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1049 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1053 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1055 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1059 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1060 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1064 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1065 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1069 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1070 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1072 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1076 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1077 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1078 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1081 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1085 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1086 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1087 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1088 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1090 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1094 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1095 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1096 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1100 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1101 (Michael G. Schwern)
1103 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1107 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1108 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1109 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1113 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1114 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1116 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1117 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1118 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1119 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1121 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1125 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1129 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1130 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1132 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1133 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1134 - Moose::Util::does_role
1135 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1136 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1137 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1139 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1143 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1144 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1145 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1148 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1152 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1153 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1156 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1160 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1161 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1164 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1168 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1170 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1171 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1173 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1174 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1175 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1177 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1178 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1179 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1182 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1183 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1185 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1186 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1187 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1189 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1191 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1192 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1194 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1196 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1199 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1200 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1202 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1203 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1205 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1206 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1207 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1208 dependencies installed.
1210 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1211 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1214 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1216 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1220 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1223 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1224 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1227 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1228 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1230 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1231 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1234 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1235 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1236 others. (nothingmuch)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1239 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1240 remove_accessors. (doy)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1243 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1244 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1247 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1249 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1251 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1252 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1254 * Moose::Meta::Class
1255 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1256 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1258 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1259 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1261 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1263 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1264 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1267 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1268 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1269 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1270 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1271 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1273 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1274 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1276 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1277 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1278 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1279 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1282 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1283 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1284 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1285 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1286 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1288 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1289 which were not receiving the value of
1290 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1291 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1292 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1293 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1297 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1298 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1299 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1300 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1301 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1304 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1305 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1306 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1307 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1309 * Moose::Meta::Class
1310 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1311 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1312 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1315 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1317 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1320 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1321 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1324 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1325 class if you pass it options for
1326 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1327 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1328 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1329 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1330 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1331 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1332 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1333 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1334 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1336 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1337 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1338 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1339 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1340 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1343 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1344 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1345 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1346 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1349 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1350 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1351 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1352 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1353 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1356 * Moose::Error::Croak
1357 * Moose::Error::Confess
1358 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1359 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1362 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1365 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1366 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1367 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1369 * Moose::Meta::Class
1370 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1373 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1374 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1375 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1377 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1378 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1379 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1380 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1381 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1383 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1384 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1387 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1389 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1390 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1393 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1394 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1397 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1398 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1399 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1402 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1403 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1404 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1405 using it for new code!
1407 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1408 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1409 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1410 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1412 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1413 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1414 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1415 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1416 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1417 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1418 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1419 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1422 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1425 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1426 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1430 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1432 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1433 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1434 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1436 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1438 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1439 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1441 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1442 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1443 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1445 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1446 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1447 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1450 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1451 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1452 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1453 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1454 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1455 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1457 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1459 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1462 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1463 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1464 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1466 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1467 associated_methods. (hdp)
1468 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1469 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1470 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1471 misspelled) arguments
1473 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1474 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1475 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1476 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1478 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1479 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1480 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1482 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1485 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1486 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1487 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1490 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1491 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1493 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1494 * Moose::Meta::Class
1495 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1496 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1498 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1499 * Moose::Manual::Types
1500 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1501 string parsing rathole (mst)
1503 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1504 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1505 using plain objects instead
1507 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1508 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1509 that's what we need.
1511 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1512 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1513 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1514 three times today (perigrin)
1515 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1516 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1519 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1520 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1521 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1524 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1525 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1526 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1527 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1528 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1529 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1532 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1533 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1534 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1535 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1538 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1540 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1543 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1545 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1548 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1549 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1550 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1554 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1555 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1558 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1559 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1561 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1562 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1563 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1565 * Moose::Unsweetened
1566 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1568 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1569 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1572 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1576 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1577 methods during global destruction (doy)
1579 * Moose::Meta::Class
1580 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1581 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1582 consumption (Sartak)
1584 * Moose::Meta::Class
1585 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1586 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1589 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1590 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1593 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1594 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1596 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1598 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1602 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1603 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1604 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1608 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1609 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1612 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1614 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1615 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1616 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1619 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1620 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1621 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1622 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1624 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1625 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1626 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1629 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1632 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1633 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1634 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1638 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1639 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1641 * Moose::Meta::Class
1642 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1644 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1646 * Moose::Meta::Class
1647 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1648 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1651 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1652 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1655 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1656 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1659 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1662 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1664 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1665 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1668 * Moose::Meta::Class
1669 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1671 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1672 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1675 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1676 * More deprecations and renamings
1677 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1678 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1679 when an object is constructed)
1682 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1683 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1684 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1686 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1687 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1688 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1689 feature, and it works again.
1692 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1694 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1696 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1697 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1698 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1701 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1702 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1703 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1704 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1706 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1707 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1708 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1709 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1710 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1713 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1714 metaclass object. (hdp)
1716 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1717 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1718 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1719 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1720 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1721 point out this fact. (hdp)
1723 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1724 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1726 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1727 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1729 * Moose::Meta::Class
1730 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1731 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1732 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1733 called during instance construction were passed the
1734 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1735 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1737 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1738 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1741 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1742 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1743 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1746 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1747 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1748 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1749 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1750 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1752 - Moose::Meta::Class
1753 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1755 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1756 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1757 when an object is constructed)
1758 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1760 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1761 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1762 when an object is constructed)
1763 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1764 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1765 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1768 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1770 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1771 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1773 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1775 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1776 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1777 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1779 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1780 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1781 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1783 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1785 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1786 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1788 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1789 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1792 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1793 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1796 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1797 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1798 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1801 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1805 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1806 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1807 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1809 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1810 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1813 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1814 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1815 with recommended workarounds.
1817 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1818 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1820 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1821 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1822 (yes, spelled like that).
1824 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1825 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1827 * Moose::Meta::Class
1828 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1829 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1831 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1834 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1835 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1836 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1837 instead. Reported by doy.
1839 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1841 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1842 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1845 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1846 message) is now deprecated.
1847 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1848 often got it wrong. For example:
1850 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1852 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1856 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1857 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1858 bite you in weird cases.
1860 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1861 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1862 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1863 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1865 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1866 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1870 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1873 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1874 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1877 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1878 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1880 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1881 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1884 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1885 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1886 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1887 - added tests for this (stevan)
1889 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1890 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1891 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1892 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1896 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1897 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1898 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1899 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1901 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1902 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1903 - added tests for this (rafl)
1905 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1906 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1907 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1908 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1912 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1913 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1916 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1917 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1918 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1920 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1922 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1923 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1925 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1926 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1927 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1928 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1929 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1931 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1932 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1933 error message did not specify the attribute name
1936 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1938 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1940 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1941 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1942 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1944 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1945 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1948 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1950 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1951 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1952 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1953 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1955 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1957 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1958 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1959 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1960 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1963 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1964 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1967 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1968 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1969 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1970 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1972 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1973 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1974 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1975 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1976 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1978 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1979 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1980 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1981 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1982 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1983 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1985 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1986 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1987 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1988 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1989 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1990 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1992 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1993 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1995 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1996 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1997 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1998 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2000 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2001 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2004 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2008 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2009 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2011 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2012 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2013 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2014 guts. (nothingmuch).
2016 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2017 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2018 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2020 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2021 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2022 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2023 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2025 * Moose::Meta::Class
2026 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2029 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2030 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2032 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2033 * Moose::Unsweetened
2034 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2037 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2038 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2039 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2040 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2041 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2042 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2044 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2045 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2046 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2047 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2048 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2049 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2050 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2051 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2052 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2053 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2055 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2057 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2058 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2060 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2061 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2062 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2063 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2065 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2066 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2067 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2068 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2069 same methods for a single role did not work
2070 right (worked just fine with multiple
2072 - added test for this (stevan)
2074 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2075 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2076 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2079 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2080 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2081 - added test for this (t0m)
2084 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2085 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2086 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2088 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2089 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2090 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2091 - added test for this (t0m)
2093 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2094 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2095 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2096 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2097 - added test for this (perigrin)
2100 - create method for constructing a role
2101 dynamically (Sartak)
2102 - added test for this (Sartak)
2103 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2104 - added test for this (Sartak)
2107 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2109 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2110 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2111 methods is useful (Sartak)
2113 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2115 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2118 * Moose::Meta::Class
2119 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2120 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2121 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2122 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2123 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2124 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2127 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2128 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2130 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2131 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2132 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2133 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2134 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2136 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2138 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2139 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2140 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2143 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2144 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2145 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2146 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2147 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2148 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2151 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2152 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2153 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2154 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2155 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2156 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2157 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2158 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2159 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2160 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2161 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2163 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2164 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2168 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2169 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2170 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2171 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2173 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2175 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2176 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2177 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2180 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2182 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2183 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2184 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2185 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2188 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2189 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2191 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2193 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2194 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2196 * Moose::Meta::Class
2197 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2198 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2199 a required attribute
2201 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2202 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2203 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2204 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2207 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2209 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2210 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2211 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2212 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2213 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2214 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2215 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2216 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2218 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2219 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2220 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2222 * Roles and role application
2223 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2224 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2225 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2226 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2227 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2229 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2230 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2233 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2234 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2235 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2236 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2237 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2240 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2241 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2242 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2243 changes in the Moose internals.
2245 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2247 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2251 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2252 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2253 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2255 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2256 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2257 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2258 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2261 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2262 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2263 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2264 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2265 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2266 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2267 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2268 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2269 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2270 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2271 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2272 constraint implementations.
2274 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2278 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2279 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2280 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2281 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2282 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2283 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2284 - added tests for this (rafl)
2286 * Moose::Meta::Class
2287 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2288 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2289 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2290 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2291 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2292 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2293 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2294 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2297 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2298 - added tests for this (thepler)
2300 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2301 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2302 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2303 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2306 * Moose::Meta::Class
2307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2308 * Moose::Meta::Method
2311 * Moose::Error::Default
2312 * Moose::Error::Croak
2313 * Moose::Error::Confess
2314 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2315 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2316 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2317 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2318 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2319 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2321 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2323 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2324 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2326 * Moose::Unsweetened
2327 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2328 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2329 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2331 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2332 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2333 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2334 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2335 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2338 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2339 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2341 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2342 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2343 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2344 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2347 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2349 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2350 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2352 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2355 - Various bug fixes.
2357 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2358 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2360 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2362 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2363 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2364 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2365 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2366 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2367 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2369 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2370 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2371 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2373 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2374 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2375 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2378 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2379 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2380 dependency to 0.64_07.
2382 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2383 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2384 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2386 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2387 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2391 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2392 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2393 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2394 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2395 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2397 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2398 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2400 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2402 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2403 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2407 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2408 method when that method was provided by another role being
2409 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2410 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2412 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2414 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2415 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2417 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2418 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2419 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2420 - added test for this (t0m)
2422 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2423 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2424 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2426 - added test for this (t0m)
2429 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2430 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2431 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2434 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2435 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2437 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2439 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2440 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2442 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2443 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2444 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2446 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2447 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2450 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2451 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2452 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2453 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2457 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2458 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2459 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2462 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2463 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2464 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2465 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2468 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2472 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2473 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2474 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2476 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2477 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2478 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2479 created so that the process can be more easily
2480 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2482 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2483 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2484 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2485 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2487 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2488 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2491 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2492 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2494 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2495 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2496 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2498 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2499 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2500 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2502 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2503 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2505 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2506 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2509 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2510 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2514 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2515 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2517 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2518 ... this is not my day today ...
2520 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2521 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2522 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2523 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2524 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2527 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2528 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2529 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2530 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2531 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2534 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2536 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2537 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2538 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2539 this is not ever something you want to do
2540 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2541 - added tests for this (stevan)
2544 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2546 - added test for this
2548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2549 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2550 - added tests for this (wreis)
2552 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2553 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2554 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2555 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2557 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2558 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2559 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2562 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2564 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2566 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2569 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2570 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2571 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2572 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2573 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2574 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2575 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2576 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2577 - added tests for this
2579 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2580 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2581 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2582 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2584 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2586 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2587 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2588 - added tests for this (sartak)
2589 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2590 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2593 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2595 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2596 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2599 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2600 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2601 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2603 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2605 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2606 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2609 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2613 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2614 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2615 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2617 - added docs for this (TODO).
2618 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2619 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2620 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

2626 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2628 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2629 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2630 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2634 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2638 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2639 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2640 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2642 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2643 - move the ClassName type check code to
2644 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2646 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2647 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2649 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2650 (early morning release engineering)--
2652 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2653 which was causing the indexer to choke
2655 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2656 (late night release engineering)--
2658 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2659 changes in this release
2661 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2662 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2663 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2665 * Moose::Meta::Class
2666 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2667 since it is called so often by &meta
2669 * Moose::Meta::Class
2671 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2672 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2675 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2676 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2677 method for immutablization to check if the
2678 destructor object even needs to be created
2681 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2682 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2683 - added more descriptive error message to help
2684 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2685 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2687 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2689 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2690 XS based functionality is now optional
2691 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2692 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2693 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2695 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2696 to take care of this, mostly we added
2697 support for the package_name and name
2698 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2699 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2700 support regexp matching of names
2701 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2702 - tests added for this
2703 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2704 is currently not supported in roles,
2705 but, ... patches welcome
2706 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2707 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2708 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2711 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2712 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2713 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2714 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2715 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2716 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2717 - added test for this
2719 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2720 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2721 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2724 * Moose::Meta::Class
2725 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2729 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2731 - added tests for this
2732 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2733 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2735 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2736 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2737 themselves parameterizable types
2739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2740 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2741 called by the inlined immutable
2743 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2745 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2746 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2747 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2748 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2750 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2751 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2755 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2756 causing occasional cpantester failures
2757 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2758 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2760 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2762 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2763 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2766 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2767 ->body when looping through the
2768 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2770 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2771 eating the $@ values, and so not
2772 working correctly, it still kind of
2773 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2774 - added tests for this
2776 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2777 - added new recipe for immutable
2778 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2780 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2781 - added new recipe for builder and
2782 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2784 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11

2914 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2916 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2960 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2961 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3254 when they encounter overriden or modified
3255 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3256 - added tests for this

3266 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3269 * Parameterized Types
3270 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3271 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3272 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3273 They can also be nested:
3274 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3275 And work with the type unions as well:
3276 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3278 * Better Framework Extendability
3279 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3280 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3281 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3282 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3285 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3286 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3287 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3288 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3458 merlyn for finding this bug
3459 - tests added for this
3460 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3463 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3464 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3465 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3466 - added tests for this
3468 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3470 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3471 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
3472 - altered unimport tests to handle this
3475 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
3477 * Moose::Meta::Class
3478 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
3479 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
3482 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3483 where not handled correctly in roles
3484 - added tests for this
3486 * Moose::Meta::Class
3487 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3488 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3489 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3491 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3492 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3494 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3495 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3496 so this release is just to fix that.
3499 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3500 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3501 (thanks to konobi for this)
3502 - added tests and docs
3504 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3505 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3507 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3508 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3509 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3510 - added tests for this
3511 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3512 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3513 functions to facilitate introspection.
3515 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3516 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3517 to build the list of delegated methods
3518 correctly (and not override important
3519 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3521 - added tests and docs for this
3522 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3523 so that you can actually document your
3524 attributes and inspect them through the
3526 - added tests and docs for this
3528 * Moose::Meta::Class
3529 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3530 it will first look in for the class in the
3531 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3532 then default to just loading $name.
3533 - added tests and docs for this
3535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3536 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3537 - added test for this
3540 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3541 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3542 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3543 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3545 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3546 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3549 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3551 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3552 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3553 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3556 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3557 !! for this developer release to work !!
3559 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3560 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3561 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3562 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3563 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3564 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3565 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3566 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3567 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3568 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3569 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3571 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3572 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3573 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3574 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3577 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3578 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3579 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3580 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3581 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3583 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3585 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3586 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3589 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3590 called unless they actually need to be.
3591 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3592 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3593 DEMOLISH method present.
3595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3597 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3598 type constraint, which allows for a
3599 hand optimized version of the type
3600 constraint to be used when possible.
3601 - Any internally created type constraints
3602 now provide an optimized version as well.
3604 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3606 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3607 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3608 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3610 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3611 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3612 your class namespace of these exported
3615 * Moose::Meta::Class
3616 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3617 comes up during global destruction
3619 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3623 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3626 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3627 - changed how we do type checks so that
3628 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3631 - moved accessor generation methods to
3632 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3633 conform to the API changes from
3636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3637 - changed how constraints are compiled
3638 so that we do less recursion and more
3639 iteration. This makes the type check
3641 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3644 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3645 - created this from methods formerly found in
3646 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3648 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3649 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3652 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3654 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3655 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3657 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3660 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3661 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3662 - added tests for this
3663 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3664 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3665 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3666 - removed tests for this
3668 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3670 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3671 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3672 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3675 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3676 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3677 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3679 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3680 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3681 comments for more info.
3684 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3685 asked questions and common problems
3687 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3688 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3689 - added tests for this
3691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3692 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3693 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3694 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3696 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3697 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3700 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3701 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3702 is much appreciated :)
3703 - added tests for this
3705 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3706 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3707 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3710 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3711 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3713 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3715 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3716 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3720 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3721 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3722 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3724 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3726 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3729 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3730 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3731 keywords because we need to localize them.
3732 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3734 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3735 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3736 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3739 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3742 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3743 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3744 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3747 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3748 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3749 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3751 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3753 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3754 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3755 bottom of your class file.
3758 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3761 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3763 - improved error message when loading modules so
3764 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3765 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3766 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3769 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3770 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3771 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3773 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3774 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3776 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3777 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3778 turn them on for you.
3779 - added tests for this
3780 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3781 in Moose::Meta::Class

3808 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3809 - This release works in combination with
3810 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3811 release because it uses the a new
3812 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3813 complete Role implementation. It has
3814 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3815 the the previous CPAN version. This
3816 release also lacks good updated docs,
3817 the official release will have updated docs.
3820 - refactored the keyword exports
3821 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3822 accepts more than one Role at a time

3828 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3829 accepts more than one Role at a time
3831 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3833 string enumerations which can be used as
3835 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3838 - more careful checking of params to new()
3841 - much work done on the role composition
3842 - many new tests for conflict detection
3843 and composition edge cases
3844 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3845 looking at the tests
3847 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3848 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3849 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3851 * Moose::Meta::Class

3859 - some small changes to support the new
3861 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3862 with the 'handles' option
3863 - added several tests for this
3864 - no docs for this yet

3870 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3871 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3872 on a per-attribute basis
3873 - added tests for this
3874 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3875 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3876 experimental feature and probably not finished
