1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
9 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
10 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
11 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
12 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
17 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
18 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
19 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
20 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
22 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
26 * Minor documentation fixes.
28 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
31 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
35 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
36 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
38 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
42 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
44 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
48 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
50 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
53 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
57 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
59 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
60 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
64 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
65 more values were required. (rjbs)
67 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
71 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
72 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
76 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
77 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
78 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
79 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
81 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
82 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
83 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
85 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
86 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
89 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
90 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
91 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
92 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
96 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
97 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
98 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
99 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
102 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
106 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
107 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
108 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
110 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
111 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
112 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
114 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
115 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
116 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
118 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
119 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
122 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
123 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
124 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
126 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
127 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
130 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
131 the associated stash. (doy)
135 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
136 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
137 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
138 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
140 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
144 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
145 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
146 the attribute's reference.
150 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
151 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
156 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
157 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
158 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
161 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
162 the Object constraint).
164 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
168 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
169 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
174 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
176 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
180 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
183 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
185 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
189 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
191 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
195 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
198 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
199 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
200 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
202 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
205 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
209 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
211 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
215 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
217 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
221 * Include changes from 2.0010.
223 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
227 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
228 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
232 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
233 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
234 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
239 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
241 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
245 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
246 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
248 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
252 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
254 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
258 * Various packaging issues.
260 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
264 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
265 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
270 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
271 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
272 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
276 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
277 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
278 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
280 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
284 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
285 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
287 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
291 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
292 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
294 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
297 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
298 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
302 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
303 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
305 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
309 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
310 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
314 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
316 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
320 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
322 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
326 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
327 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
329 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
333 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
335 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
339 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
341 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
342 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
344 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
348 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
349 skips every other role. (rjbs)
351 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
352 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
353 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
354 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
355 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
357 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
361 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
362 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
363 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
366 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
371 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
373 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
374 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
376 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
380 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
381 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
382 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
386 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
387 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
389 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
390 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
392 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
393 environments. (doy, mateu)
395 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
399 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
400 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
401 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
402 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
406 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
407 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
409 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
413 * Update conflicts list.
416 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
420 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
421 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
422 details. (Dave Rolsky)
424 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
425 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
426 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
427 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
428 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
432 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
433 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
434 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
435 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
436 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
439 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
443 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
444 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
446 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
449 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
453 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
454 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
455 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
456 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
458 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
459 immutable classes). (mo)
461 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
462 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
463 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
465 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
469 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
471 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
473 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
477 * Fix some indexing issues.
479 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
481 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
485 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
486 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
487 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
488 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
489 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
491 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
492 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
497 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
498 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
499 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
500 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
502 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
503 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
504 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
508 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
509 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
512 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
516 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
517 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
521 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
525 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
526 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
527 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
528 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
531 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
535 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
538 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
542 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
543 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
544 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
547 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
551 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
552 policy. (Chris Prather)
554 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
555 on this new support policy. (doy)
559 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
560 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
561 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
563 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
564 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
566 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
570 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
571 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
572 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
573 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
576 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
580 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
581 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
584 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
588 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
589 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
591 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
592 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
596 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
597 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
598 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
599 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
600 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
601 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
603 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
604 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
606 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
607 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
608 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
609 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
611 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
612 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
614 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
619 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
620 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
622 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
626 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
627 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
628 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
630 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
634 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
635 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
636 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
638 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
639 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
642 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
643 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
646 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
647 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
648 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
650 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
651 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
656 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
657 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
658 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
659 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
661 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
662 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
664 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
665 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
667 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
668 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
669 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
670 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
672 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
673 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
674 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
677 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
678 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
679 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
680 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
682 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
683 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
686 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
687 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
688 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
690 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
694 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
695 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
696 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
698 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
699 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
700 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
703 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
704 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
705 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
707 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
708 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
709 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
711 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
712 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
716 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
717 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
718 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
720 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
721 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
722 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
723 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
725 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
729 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
730 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
731 value is a reference.
733 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
734 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
736 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
740 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
741 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
742 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
744 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
748 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
749 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
753 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
754 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
755 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
757 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
758 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
759 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
761 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
765 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
767 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
771 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
773 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
774 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
779 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
780 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
782 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
783 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
784 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
785 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
786 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
788 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
789 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
790 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
791 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
793 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
797 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
798 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
803 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
805 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
807 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
812 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
814 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
818 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
819 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
820 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
822 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
823 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
824 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
825 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
827 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
828 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
829 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
830 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
831 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
834 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
839 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
840 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
841 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
842 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
843 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
846 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
850 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
853 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
854 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
858 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
859 function (not just method). (doy)
863 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
864 and aren't easily installable/testable.
866 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
870 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
871 to be overridden more easily (doy).
873 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
877 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
878 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
880 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
884 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
885 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
886 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
888 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
892 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
893 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
894 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
896 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
897 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
901 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
902 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
904 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
905 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
909 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
910 is applied to a class (t0m).
912 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
913 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
915 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
918 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
919 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
921 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
922 be much more robust. (doy)
924 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
926 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
929 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
933 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
934 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
936 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
940 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
941 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
943 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
946 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
947 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
948 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
950 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
951 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
952 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
955 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
957 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
961 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
962 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
966 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
968 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
973 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
977 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
978 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
982 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
984 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
988 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
989 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
993 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
994 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
998 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
999 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1001 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1005 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1006 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1007 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1010 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1014 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1015 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1016 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1017 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1019 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1023 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1024 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1025 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1029 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1030 (Michael G. Schwern)
1032 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1037 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1038 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1042 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1043 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1045 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1046 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1047 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1048 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1050 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1054 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1058 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1059 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1061 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1062 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1063 - Moose::Util::does_role
1064 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1065 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1066 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1068 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1072 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1073 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1074 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1077 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1081 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1082 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1085 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1089 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1090 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1093 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1097 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1099 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1100 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1102 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1103 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1104 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1106 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1107 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1108 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1111 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1112 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1114 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1115 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1116 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1118 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1120 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1121 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1123 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1125 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1128 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1129 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1131 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1132 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1134 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1135 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1136 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1137 dependencies installed.
1139 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1140 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1143 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1145 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1149 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1152 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1153 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1156 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1157 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1159 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1160 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1163 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1164 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1165 others. (nothingmuch)
1167 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1168 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1169 remove_accessors. (doy)
1171 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1172 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1173 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1175 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1176 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1178 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1180 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1181 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1183 * Moose::Meta::Class
1184 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1185 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1188 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1190 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1192 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1193 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1196 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1197 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1198 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1199 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1200 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1202 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1203 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1205 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1206 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1207 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1208 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1211 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1212 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1213 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1214 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1215 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1217 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1218 which were not receiving the value of
1219 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1220 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1221 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1222 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1226 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1227 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1228 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1229 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1230 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1233 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1234 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1235 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1236 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Class
1239 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1240 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1241 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1244 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1246 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1248 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1249 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1250 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1253 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1254 class if you pass it options for
1255 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1256 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1257 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1258 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1259 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1260 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1261 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1262 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1263 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1265 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1266 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1267 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1268 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1269 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1272 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1274 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1275 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1278 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1279 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1280 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1281 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1282 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1285 * Moose::Error::Croak
1286 * Moose::Error::Confess
1287 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1288 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1291 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1294 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1295 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1296 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1298 * Moose::Meta::Class
1299 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1302 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1303 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1304 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1307 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1308 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1309 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1310 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1312 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1313 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1316 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1318 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1319 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1322 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1323 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1325 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1327 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1328 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1330 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1331 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1332 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1333 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1334 using it for new code!
1336 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1337 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1338 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1339 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1341 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1342 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1343 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1344 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1345 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1346 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1347 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1348 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1351 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1354 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1355 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1358 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1359 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1362 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1363 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1365 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1366 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1367 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1368 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1370 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1371 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1372 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1375 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1376 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1379 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1381 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1382 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1383 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1384 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1386 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1388 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1391 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1392 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1393 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1395 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1396 associated_methods. (hdp)
1397 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1398 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1399 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1400 misspelled) arguments
1402 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1403 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1404 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1405 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1408 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1409 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1411 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1414 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1415 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1416 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1419 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1420 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1422 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1423 * Moose::Meta::Class
1424 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1425 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1427 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1428 * Moose::Manual::Types
1429 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1430 string parsing rathole (mst)
1432 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1433 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1434 using plain objects instead
1436 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1437 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1438 that's what we need.
1440 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1441 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1442 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1443 three times today (perigrin)
1444 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1445 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1447 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1448 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1449 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1450 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1453 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1454 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1455 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1456 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1457 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1458 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1461 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1462 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1463 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1464 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1467 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1469 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1472 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1474 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1477 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1478 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1479 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1483 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1484 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1487 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1488 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1490 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1491 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1492 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1494 * Moose::Unsweetened
1495 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1497 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1498 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1501 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1505 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1506 methods during global destruction (doy)
1508 * Moose::Meta::Class
1509 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1510 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1511 consumption (Sartak)
1513 * Moose::Meta::Class
1514 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1515 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1518 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1519 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1522 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1523 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1525 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1527 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1531 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1532 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1533 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1536 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1537 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1538 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1541 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1543 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1544 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1545 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1548 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1549 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1550 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1551 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1553 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1554 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1555 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1558 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1561 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1562 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1563 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1567 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1568 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1570 * Moose::Meta::Class
1571 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1573 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1575 * Moose::Meta::Class
1576 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1577 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1580 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1581 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1584 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1585 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1588 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1591 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1593 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1594 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1597 * Moose::Meta::Class
1598 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1601 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1604 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1605 * More deprecations and renamings
1606 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1607 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1608 when an object is constructed)
1611 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1612 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1613 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1615 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1616 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1617 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1618 feature, and it works again.
1621 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1623 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1625 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1626 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1627 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1629 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1630 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1631 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1632 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1633 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1636 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1637 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1638 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1639 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1642 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1643 metaclass object. (hdp)
1645 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1646 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1647 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1648 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1649 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1650 point out this fact. (hdp)
1652 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1653 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1656 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1658 * Moose::Meta::Class
1659 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1660 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1661 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1662 called during instance construction were passed the
1663 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1664 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1666 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1667 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1670 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1671 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1672 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1675 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1676 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1677 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1678 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1679 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1681 - Moose::Meta::Class
1682 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1684 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1685 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1686 when an object is constructed)
1687 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1689 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1690 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1691 when an object is constructed)
1692 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1693 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1694 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1697 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1699 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1700 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1702 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1704 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1705 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1706 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1709 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1710 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1712 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1714 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1715 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1717 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1718 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1722 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1725 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1726 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1727 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1729 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1730 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1734 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1735 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1736 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1738 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1739 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1742 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1743 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1744 with recommended workarounds.
1746 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1747 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1749 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1750 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1751 (yes, spelled like that).
1753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1754 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1756 * Moose::Meta::Class
1757 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1758 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1760 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1762 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1763 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1764 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1765 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1766 instead. Reported by doy.
1768 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1770 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1771 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1773 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1774 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1775 message) is now deprecated.
1776 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1777 often got it wrong. For example:
1779 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1781 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1785 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1786 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1787 bite you in weird cases.
1789 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1790 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1791 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1792 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1794 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1795 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1799 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1802 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1803 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1806 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1807 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1809 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1810 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1813 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1815 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1816 - added tests for this (stevan)
1818 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1819 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1820 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1821 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1825 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1826 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1827 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1828 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1830 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1831 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1832 - added tests for this (rafl)
1834 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1835 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1836 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1837 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1841 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1842 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1845 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1846 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1847 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1849 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1851 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1852 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1854 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1855 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1856 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1857 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1858 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1861 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1862 error message did not specify the attribute name
1865 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1867 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1869 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1870 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1871 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1873 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1874 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1877 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1879 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1880 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1881 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1882 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1884 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1886 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1887 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1888 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1889 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1891 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1892 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1893 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1896 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1897 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1898 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1899 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1902 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1903 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1904 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1905 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1907 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1908 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1909 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1910 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1911 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1912 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1914 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1915 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1916 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1917 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1918 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1919 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1922 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1924 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1925 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1926 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1927 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1930 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1933 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1937 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1938 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1940 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1941 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1942 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1943 guts. (nothingmuch).
1945 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1946 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1947 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1949 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1950 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1951 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1952 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1954 * Moose::Meta::Class
1955 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1958 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1959 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1961 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1962 * Moose::Unsweetened
1963 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1966 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1967 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1968 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1969 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1970 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1971 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1973 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1974 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1975 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1976 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1977 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1978 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1979 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1981 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1982 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1984 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1986 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1987 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1989 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1990 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1991 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1992 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1994 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1995 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1996 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1997 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1998 same methods for a single role did not work
1999 right (worked just fine with multiple
2001 - added test for this (stevan)
2003 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2004 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2005 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2008 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2009 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2010 - added test for this (t0m)
2013 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2014 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2015 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2018 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2019 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2020 - added test for this (t0m)
2022 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2023 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2024 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2025 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2026 - added test for this (perigrin)
2029 - create method for constructing a role
2030 dynamically (Sartak)
2031 - added test for this (Sartak)
2032 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2033 - added test for this (Sartak)
2036 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2038 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2039 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2040 methods is useful (Sartak)
2042 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2043 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2044 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2047 * Moose::Meta::Class
2048 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2049 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2050 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2051 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2052 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2056 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2057 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2059 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2060 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2061 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2062 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2063 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2065 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2067 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2068 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2069 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2072 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2073 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2074 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2075 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2076 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2077 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2080 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2081 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2082 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2083 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2084 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2085 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2086 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2087 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2088 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2089 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2090 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2093 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2096 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2097 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2098 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2099 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2100 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2102 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2104 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2105 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2106 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2109 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2111 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2112 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2113 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2114 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2117 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2118 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2120 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2122 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2123 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2125 * Moose::Meta::Class
2126 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2127 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2128 a required attribute
2130 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2131 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2132 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2133 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2135 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2136 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2139 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2140 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2141 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2142 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2143 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2144 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2145 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2147 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2148 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2149 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2151 * Roles and role application
2152 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2153 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2154 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2155 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2156 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2158 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2159 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2162 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2163 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2164 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2165 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2166 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2169 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2170 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2171 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2172 changes in the Moose internals.
2174 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2175 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2176 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2179 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2180 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2181 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2182 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2184 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2185 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2186 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2187 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2190 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2191 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2192 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2193 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2194 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2195 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2196 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2197 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2198 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2199 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2200 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2201 constraint implementations.
2203 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2207 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2208 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2209 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2210 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2211 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2212 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2213 - added tests for this (rafl)
2215 * Moose::Meta::Class
2216 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2217 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2218 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2219 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2220 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2221 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2222 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2223 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2226 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2227 - added tests for this (thepler)
2229 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2230 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2231 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2232 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2235 * Moose::Meta::Class
2236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2237 * Moose::Meta::Method
2240 * Moose::Error::Default
2241 * Moose::Error::Croak
2242 * Moose::Error::Confess
2243 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2244 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2245 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2246 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2247 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2248 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2250 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2252 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2253 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2255 * Moose::Unsweetened
2256 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2257 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2258 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2261 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2262 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2263 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2264 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2267 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2268 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2270 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2271 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2272 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2273 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2276 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2278 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2279 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2281 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2284 - Various bug fixes.
2286 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2287 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2289 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2291 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2292 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2293 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2294 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2295 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2296 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2298 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2299 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2300 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2302 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2303 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2304 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2307 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2308 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2309 dependency to 0.64_07.
2311 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2312 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2313 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2315 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2316 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2319 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2320 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2321 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2322 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2323 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2324 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2326 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2327 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2329 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2331 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2332 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2336 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2337 method when that method was provided by another role being
2338 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2339 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2341 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2343 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2344 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2346 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2347 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2348 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2349 - added test for this (t0m)
2351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2352 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2353 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2355 - added test for this (t0m)
2358 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2359 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2360 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2363 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2364 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2366 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2368 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2369 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2371 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2372 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2373 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2375 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2376 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2379 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2380 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2381 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2382 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2386 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2387 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2388 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2391 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2392 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2393 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2394 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2397 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2401 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2402 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2403 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2405 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2406 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2407 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2408 created so that the process can be more easily
2409 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2412 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2413 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2414 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2416 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2417 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2420 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2421 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2423 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2424 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2425 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2427 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2428 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2429 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2431 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2432 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2434 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2435 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2438 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2439 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2443 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2444 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2446 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2447 ... this is not my day today ...
2449 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2450 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2451 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2452 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2453 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2456 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2457 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2458 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2459 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2460 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2463 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2465 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2466 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2467 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2468 this is not ever something you want to do
2469 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2470 - added tests for this (stevan)
2473 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2475 - added test for this
2477 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2478 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2479 - added tests for this (wreis)
2481 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2482 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2483 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2484 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2486 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2487 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2488 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2491 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2493 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2495 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2498 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2499 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2500 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2501 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2502 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2503 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2504 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2505 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2506 - added tests for this
2508 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2509 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2510 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2511 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2513 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2515 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2516 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

2528 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2529 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2530 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2532 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2534 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2535 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2544 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2546 - added docs for this (TODO).
2547 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2548 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2549 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

2568 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2569 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2571 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2572 - move the ClassName type check code to
2573 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2575 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2576 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2578 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2579 (early morning release engineering)--
2581 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2582 which was causing the indexer to choke
2584 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2585 (late night release engineering)--
2587 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2588 changes in this release
2590 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2591 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2592 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2594 * Moose::Meta::Class
2595 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2596 since it is called so often by &meta
2598 * Moose::Meta::Class
2600 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2601 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2604 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2605 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2606 method for immutablization to check if the
2607 destructor object even needs to be created
2610 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2611 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2612 - added more descriptive error message to help
2613 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2614 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2616 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2618 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2619 XS based functionality is now optional
2620 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2621 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2622 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2624 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2625 to take care of this, mostly we added
2626 support for the package_name and name
2627 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2628 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2629 support regexp matching of names
2630 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2631 - tests added for this
2632 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2633 is currently not supported in roles,
2634 but, ... patches welcome
2635 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2636 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2637 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2640 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2641 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2642 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2643 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2644 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2645 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2646 - added test for this
2648 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2649 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2650 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2653 * Moose::Meta::Class
2654 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2658 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2660 - added tests for this
2661 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2662 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2664 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2665 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2666 themselves parameterizable types
2668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2669 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2670 called by the inlined immutable
2672 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2674 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2675 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2676 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2677 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2679 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2680 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2684 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2685 causing occasional cpantester failures

2687 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2689 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2691 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2692 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2695 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2696 ->body when looping through the
2697 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2699 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2700 eating the $@ values, and so not
2701 working correctly, it still kind of
2702 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2703 - added tests for this
2705 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2706 - added new recipe for immutable
2707 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2709 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2710 - added new recipe for builder and
2711 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2713 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2714 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2715 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2718 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2720 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2721 since Module::Install has done that.
2723 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2725 drink more coffee before
2726 doing release engineering
2728 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2729 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2730 modules. This fixes that.
2732 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2733 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2734 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2736 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2737 since we have tests which need the C3
2740 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2741 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2743 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2744 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2746 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2747 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2748 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2749 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2755 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2756 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2758 * Moose::Meta::Class
2759 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2760 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2762 - added test for this
2764 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2765 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2766 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2767 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2768 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2769 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2772 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)
2774 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
2775 Moose::Meta::Method::Augmented
2776 - moved the logic for these into their own
2777 classes (nothingmuch)
2779 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2780 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
2781 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
2782 - added tests for this (Sartak)
2783 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
2784 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
2786 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
2787 to allow introspection of traits
2788 - added tests for this

2843 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2845 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2846 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

3136 - added tests for this
3139 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3140 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3182 - fixed how required methods are handled
3183 when they encounter overriden or modified
3184 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3185 - added tests for this
3187 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3195 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3198 * Parameterized Types
3199 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3200 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3201 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3202 They can also be nested:
3203 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3204 And work with the type unions as well:
3205 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3207 * Better Framework Extendability
3208 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3209 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3210 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3211 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3214 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3215 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3216 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3217 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3458 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3459 it will first look in for the class in the
3460 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3461 then default to just loading $name.
3462 - added tests and docs for this
3464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3465 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3466 - added test for this
3469 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3470 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3471 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3472 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3474 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3475 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3478 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3480 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3481 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3482 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3485 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3486 !! for this developer release to work !!
3488 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3489 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3490 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3491 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3492 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3493 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3494 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3495 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3496 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3497 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3498 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3500 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3501 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3502 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3503 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3506 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3508 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3509 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3510 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3512 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3514 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3515 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3518 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3519 called unless they actually need to be.
3520 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3521 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3522 DEMOLISH method present.
3524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3525 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3526 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3527 type constraint, which allows for a
3528 hand optimized version of the type
3529 constraint to be used when possible.
3530 - Any internally created type constraints
3531 now provide an optimized version as well.
3533 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3535 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3536 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3537 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3539 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3540 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3541 your class namespace of these exported
3544 * Moose::Meta::Class
3545 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3546 comes up during global destruction
3548 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3552 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3556 - changed how we do type checks so that
3557 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3560 - moved accessor generation methods to
3561 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3562 conform to the API changes from
3565 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3566 - changed how constraints are compiled
3567 so that we do less recursion and more
3568 iteration. This makes the type check
3570 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3573 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3574 - created this from methods formerly found in
3575 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3577 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3578 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3580 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3581 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3584 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3586 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3588 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3589 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3590 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3591 - added tests for this
3592 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3593 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3594 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3595 - removed tests for this
3597 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3599 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3600 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3601 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3604 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3605 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3606 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3608 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3609 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3610 comments for more info.
3613 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3614 asked questions and common problems
3616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3617 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3618 - added tests for this
3620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3621 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3622 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3623 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3625 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3626 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3629 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3630 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3631 is much appreciated :)
3632 - added tests for this
3634 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3635 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3636 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3639 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3640 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3642 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3644 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3645 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3649 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3650 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3651 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3653 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3655 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3658 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3659 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3660 keywords because we need to localize them.
3661 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3663 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3664 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3665 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3668 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3671 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3672 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3673 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3676 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3677 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3678 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3680 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3682 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3683 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3684 bottom of your class file.
3687 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3690 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3692 - improved error message when loading modules so
3693 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3694 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3695 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3698 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3699 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3700 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3702 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3703 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3705 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3706 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3707 turn them on for you.
3708 - added tests for this
3709 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3710 in Moose::Meta::Class
3713 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3714 automatically turned on for you.

3737 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3738 - This release works in combination with
3739 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3740 release because it uses the a new
3741 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3742 complete Role implementation. It has
3743 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3744 the the previous CPAN version. This
3745 release also lacks good updated docs,
3746 the official release will have updated docs.
3749 - refactored the keyword exports
3750 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3751 accepts more than one Role at a time
3752 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3753 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3756 - refactored the keyword exports
3757 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3758 accepts more than one Role at a time
3760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3761 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3762 string enumerations which can be used as
3764 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3767 - more careful checking of params to new()
3770 - much work done on the role composition
3771 - many new tests for conflict detection
3772 and composition edge cases
3773 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3774 looking at the tests
3776 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3777 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3778 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3780 * Moose::Meta::Class
3781 - some small changes to support the new
3783 - some small additions to support Roles
3785 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3786 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3788 - some small changes to support the new
3790 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3791 with the 'handles' option
3792 - added several tests for this
3793 - no docs for this yet
3795 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3797 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3798 thanks to chansen for this commit
3799 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3800 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3801 on a per-attribute basis
3802 - added tests for this
3803 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3804 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3805 experimental feature and probably not finished

3807 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3808 - added tests for this

3870 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3872 - added test for this
3875 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
