1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
10 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
13 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
17 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
19 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
20 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
25 more values were required. (rjbs)
27 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
31 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
32 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
36 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
37 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
38 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
39 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
42 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
43 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
45 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
46 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
49 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
50 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
51 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
52 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
56 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
57 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
58 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
59 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
62 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
66 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
67 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
70 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
71 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
74 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
75 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
76 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
78 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
79 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
82 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
83 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
84 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
86 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
87 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
90 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
91 the associated stash. (doy)
95 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
96 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
97 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
98 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
100 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
104 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
105 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
106 the attribute's reference.
110 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
111 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
116 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
117 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
118 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
121 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
122 the Object constraint).
124 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
128 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
129 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
134 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
136 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
140 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
143 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
145 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
149 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
151 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
155 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
158 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
159 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
160 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
162 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
165 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
169 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
171 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
175 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
177 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
181 * Include changes from 2.0010.
183 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
187 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
188 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
192 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
193 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
194 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
199 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
201 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
205 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
206 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
208 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
212 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
214 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
218 * Various packaging issues.
220 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
224 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
225 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
230 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
231 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
232 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
236 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
237 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
238 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
240 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
244 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
245 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
247 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
251 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
252 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
254 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
257 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
258 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
262 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
263 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
265 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
269 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
270 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
274 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
276 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
280 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
282 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
286 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
287 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
289 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
293 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
295 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
299 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
301 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
302 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
304 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
308 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
309 skips every other role. (rjbs)
311 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
312 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
313 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
314 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
315 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
317 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
321 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
322 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
323 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
326 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
331 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
333 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
334 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
336 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
340 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
341 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
342 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
346 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
347 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
349 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
350 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
352 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
353 environments. (doy, mateu)
355 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
359 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
360 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
361 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
362 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
366 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
367 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
369 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
373 * Update conflicts list.
376 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
380 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
381 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
382 details. (Dave Rolsky)
384 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
385 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
386 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
387 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
388 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
392 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
393 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
394 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
395 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
396 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
399 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
403 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
404 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
406 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
409 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
413 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
414 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
415 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
416 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
418 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
419 immutable classes). (mo)
421 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
422 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
423 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
425 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
429 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
431 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
433 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
437 * Fix some indexing issues.
439 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
441 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
445 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
446 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
447 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
448 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
449 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
451 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
452 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
457 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
458 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
459 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
460 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
462 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
463 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
464 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
468 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
469 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
472 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
476 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
477 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
481 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
485 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
486 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
487 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
488 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
491 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
495 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
498 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
502 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
503 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
504 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
507 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
511 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
512 policy. (Chris Prather)
514 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
515 on this new support policy. (doy)
519 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
520 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
521 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
523 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
524 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
526 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
530 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
531 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
532 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
533 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
536 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
540 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
541 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
544 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
548 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
549 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
551 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
552 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
556 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
557 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
558 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
559 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
560 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
561 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
563 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
564 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
566 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
567 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
568 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
569 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
571 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
572 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
574 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
579 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
580 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
582 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
586 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
587 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
588 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
590 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
594 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
595 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
596 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
598 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
599 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
602 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
603 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
606 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
607 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
608 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
610 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
611 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
616 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
617 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
618 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
619 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
621 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
622 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
624 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
625 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
627 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
628 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
629 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
630 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
632 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
633 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
634 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
637 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
638 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
639 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
640 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
642 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
643 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
646 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
647 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
648 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
650 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
654 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
655 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
656 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
658 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
659 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
660 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
663 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
664 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
665 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
667 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
668 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
669 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
671 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
672 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
676 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
677 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
678 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
680 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
681 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
682 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
683 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
685 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
689 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
690 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
691 value is a reference.
693 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
694 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
696 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
700 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
701 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
702 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
704 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
708 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
709 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
713 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
714 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
715 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
717 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
718 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
719 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
721 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
725 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
727 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
731 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
733 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
734 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
739 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
740 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
742 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
743 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
744 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
745 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
746 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
748 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
749 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
750 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
751 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
753 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
757 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
758 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
763 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
765 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
767 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
772 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
774 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
778 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
779 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
780 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
782 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
783 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
784 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
785 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
787 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
788 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
789 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
790 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
791 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
794 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
799 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
800 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
801 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
802 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
803 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
806 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
810 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
813 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
814 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
818 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
819 function (not just method). (doy)
823 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
824 and aren't easily installable/testable.
826 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
830 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
831 to be overridden more easily (doy).
833 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
837 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
838 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
840 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
844 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
845 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
846 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
848 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
852 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
853 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
854 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
856 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
857 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
861 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
862 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
864 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
865 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
869 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
870 is applied to a class (t0m).
872 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
873 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
875 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
878 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
879 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
881 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
882 be much more robust. (doy)
884 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
886 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
889 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
893 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
894 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
896 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
900 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
901 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
903 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
906 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
907 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
908 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
910 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
911 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
912 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
915 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
917 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
921 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
922 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
926 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
928 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
933 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
937 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
938 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
942 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
944 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
948 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
949 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
953 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
954 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
958 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
959 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
961 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
965 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
966 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
967 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
970 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
974 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
975 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
976 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
977 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
979 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
983 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
984 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
985 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
989 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
992 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
996 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
997 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
998 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1002 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1003 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1005 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1006 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1007 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1008 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1010 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1014 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1018 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1019 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1021 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1022 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1023 - Moose::Util::does_role
1024 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1025 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1026 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1028 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1032 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1033 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1034 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1037 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1041 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1042 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1045 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1049 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1050 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1053 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1057 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1059 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1060 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1062 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1063 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1064 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1066 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1067 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1068 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1071 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1072 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1074 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1075 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1076 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1078 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1080 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1081 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1083 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1085 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1088 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1089 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1091 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1092 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1094 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1095 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1096 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1097 dependencies installed.
1099 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1100 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1103 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1105 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1109 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1112 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1113 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1115 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1116 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1117 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1119 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1120 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1123 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1124 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1125 others. (nothingmuch)
1127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1128 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1129 remove_accessors. (doy)
1131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1132 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1133 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1136 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1138 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1140 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1141 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1143 * Moose::Meta::Class
1144 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1145 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1147 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1148 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1150 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1152 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1153 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1157 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1158 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1159 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1160 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1162 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1164 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1165 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1166 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1167 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1168 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1171 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1172 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1173 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1174 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1175 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1177 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1178 which were not receiving the value of
1179 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1180 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1181 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1182 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1186 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1187 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1188 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1189 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1190 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1194 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1195 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1196 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1198 * Moose::Meta::Class
1199 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1200 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1201 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1204 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1206 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1209 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1210 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1213 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1214 class if you pass it options for
1215 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1216 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1217 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1218 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1219 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1220 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1221 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1223 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1225 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1226 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1227 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1228 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1229 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1232 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1234 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1235 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1238 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1239 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1240 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1241 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1242 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1245 * Moose::Error::Croak
1246 * Moose::Error::Confess
1247 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1248 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1251 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1254 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1255 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1256 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1258 * Moose::Meta::Class
1259 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1262 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1263 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1264 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1267 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1268 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1269 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1270 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1272 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1273 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1276 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1278 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1279 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1282 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1283 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1285 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1287 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1288 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1290 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1291 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1292 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1293 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1294 using it for new code!
1296 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1297 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1298 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1299 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1301 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1302 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1303 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1304 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1305 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1306 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1307 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1308 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1311 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1314 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1315 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1319 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1322 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1323 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1325 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1326 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1327 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1328 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1330 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1331 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1332 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1334 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1335 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1336 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1339 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1341 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1342 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1343 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1344 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1346 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1348 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1352 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1353 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1355 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1356 associated_methods. (hdp)
1357 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1358 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1359 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1360 misspelled) arguments
1362 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1363 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1364 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1365 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1367 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1368 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1369 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1371 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1374 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1375 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1376 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1379 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1380 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1382 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1383 * Moose::Meta::Class
1384 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1385 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1387 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1388 * Moose::Manual::Types
1389 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1390 string parsing rathole (mst)
1392 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1393 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1394 using plain objects instead
1396 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1397 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1398 that's what we need.
1400 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1401 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1402 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1403 three times today (perigrin)
1404 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1405 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1408 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1409 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1410 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1413 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1414 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1415 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1416 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1417 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1418 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1421 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1422 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1423 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1424 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1427 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1429 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1432 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1434 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1437 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1438 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1439 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1443 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1444 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1447 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1448 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1450 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1451 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1452 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1454 * Moose::Unsweetened
1455 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1457 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1458 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1461 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1465 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1466 methods during global destruction (doy)
1468 * Moose::Meta::Class
1469 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1470 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1471 consumption (Sartak)
1473 * Moose::Meta::Class
1474 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1475 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1478 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1479 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1482 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1483 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1485 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1487 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1491 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1492 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1493 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1496 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1497 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1498 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1501 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1503 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1504 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1505 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1508 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1509 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1510 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1511 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1513 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1514 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1515 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1518 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1521 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1522 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1523 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1527 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1528 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1530 * Moose::Meta::Class
1531 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1533 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1535 * Moose::Meta::Class
1536 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1537 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1540 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1541 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1544 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1545 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1548 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1551 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1553 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1554 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1557 * Moose::Meta::Class
1558 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1560 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1561 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1564 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1565 * More deprecations and renamings
1566 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1567 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1568 when an object is constructed)
1571 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1572 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1573 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1575 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1576 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1577 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1578 feature, and it works again.
1581 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1583 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1585 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1586 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1587 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1589 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1590 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1591 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1592 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1593 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1596 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1597 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1598 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1599 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1602 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1603 metaclass object. (hdp)
1605 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1606 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1608 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1609 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1610 point out this fact. (hdp)
1612 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1613 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1615 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1616 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1618 * Moose::Meta::Class
1619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1620 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1621 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1622 called during instance construction were passed the
1623 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1624 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1626 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1627 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1630 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1631 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1632 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1635 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1636 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1637 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1638 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1639 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1641 - Moose::Meta::Class
1642 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1644 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1645 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1646 when an object is constructed)
1647 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1649 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1650 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1651 when an object is constructed)
1652 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1653 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1654 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1657 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1659 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1660 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1662 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1664 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1665 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1666 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1668 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1669 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1670 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1672 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1674 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1675 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1677 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1678 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1681 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1682 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1685 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1686 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1687 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1690 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1694 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1695 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1696 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1699 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1702 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1703 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1704 with recommended workarounds.
1706 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1707 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1709 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1710 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1711 (yes, spelled like that).
1713 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1714 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1716 * Moose::Meta::Class
1717 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1718 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1720 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1722 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1723 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1724 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1725 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1726 instead. Reported by doy.
1728 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1730 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1731 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1734 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1735 message) is now deprecated.
1736 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1737 often got it wrong. For example:
1739 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1741 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1745 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1746 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1747 bite you in weird cases.
1749 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1750 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1751 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1752 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1754 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1755 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1759 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1762 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1763 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1766 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1767 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1769 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1770 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1773 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1774 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1775 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1776 - added tests for this (stevan)
1778 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1779 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1780 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1781 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1785 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1786 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1787 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1788 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1790 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1791 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1792 - added tests for this (rafl)
1794 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1795 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1796 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1797 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1801 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1802 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1806 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1807 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1809 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1811 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1812 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1814 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1815 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1816 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1817 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1818 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1820 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1821 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1822 error message did not specify the attribute name
1825 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1827 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1829 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1830 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1831 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1833 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1834 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1837 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1839 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1840 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1841 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1842 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1844 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1846 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1847 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1848 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1849 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1851 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1852 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1853 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1855 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1856 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1857 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1858 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1859 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1862 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1863 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1864 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1865 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1867 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1868 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1869 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1870 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1871 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1872 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1874 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1875 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1876 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1877 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1878 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1879 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1881 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1882 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1884 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1885 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1886 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1887 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1890 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1893 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1897 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1898 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1900 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1901 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1902 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1903 guts. (nothingmuch).
1905 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1906 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1907 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1910 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1911 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1912 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1914 * Moose::Meta::Class
1915 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1918 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1919 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1921 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1922 * Moose::Unsweetened
1923 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1926 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1927 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1928 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1929 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1930 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1931 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1933 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1934 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1935 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1936 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1937 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1938 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1939 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1940 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1941 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1942 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1944 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1946 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1947 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1949 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1950 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1951 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1952 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1954 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1955 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1956 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1957 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1958 same methods for a single role did not work
1959 right (worked just fine with multiple
1961 - added test for this (stevan)
1963 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1964 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1965 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1968 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1969 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1970 - added test for this (t0m)
1973 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1974 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1975 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1977 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1978 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1979 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1980 - added test for this (t0m)
1982 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1983 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1984 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1985 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1986 - added test for this (perigrin)
1989 - create method for constructing a role
1990 dynamically (Sartak)
1991 - added test for this (Sartak)
1992 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1993 - added test for this (Sartak)
1996 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1998 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1999 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2000 methods is useful (Sartak)
2002 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2003 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2004 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2007 * Moose::Meta::Class
2008 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2009 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2010 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2011 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2012 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2013 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2016 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2017 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2019 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2020 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2021 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2022 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2023 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2025 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2027 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2028 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2029 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2032 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2033 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2034 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2035 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2036 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2037 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2040 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2041 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2042 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2043 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2044 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2045 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2046 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2047 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2048 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2049 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2050 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2052 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2053 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2056 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2057 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2058 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2059 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2060 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2062 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2064 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2065 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2066 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2068 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2069 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2071 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2072 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2073 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2074 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2077 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2078 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2080 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2082 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2083 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2085 * Moose::Meta::Class
2086 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2087 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2088 a required attribute
2090 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2091 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2092 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2093 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2095 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2096 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2098 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2099 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2100 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2101 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2102 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2103 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2104 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2105 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2107 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2108 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2109 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2111 * Roles and role application
2112 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2113 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2114 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2115 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2116 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2118 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2119 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2122 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2123 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2124 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2125 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2126 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2129 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2130 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2131 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2132 changes in the Moose internals.
2134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2136 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2139 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2140 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2141 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2142 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2145 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2146 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2147 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2149 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2150 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2151 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2152 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2153 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2154 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2155 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2156 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2157 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2158 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2159 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2160 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2161 constraint implementations.
2163 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2167 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2168 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2169 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2170 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2171 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2172 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2173 - added tests for this (rafl)
2175 * Moose::Meta::Class
2176 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2177 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2178 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2179 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2180 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2181 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2182 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2183 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2186 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2187 - added tests for this (thepler)
2189 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2190 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2191 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2192 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2195 * Moose::Meta::Class
2196 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2197 * Moose::Meta::Method
2200 * Moose::Error::Default
2201 * Moose::Error::Croak
2202 * Moose::Error::Confess
2203 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2204 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2205 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2206 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2207 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2208 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2210 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2212 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2213 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2215 * Moose::Unsweetened
2216 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2217 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2218 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2220 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2221 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2222 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2223 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2224 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2227 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2228 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2230 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2231 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2232 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2233 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2236 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2238 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2239 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2241 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2244 - Various bug fixes.

2251 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2252 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2253 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2254 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2255 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2256 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2259 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2260 extensions (Dave Rolsky)

2268 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2269 dependency to 0.64_07.
2271 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2272 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2273 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2275 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2276 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2279 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2280 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2281 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2282 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2283 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2284 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2286 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2287 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2289 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2291 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2292 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2296 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2297 method when that method was provided by another role being
2298 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2299 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2301 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2308 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2309 - added test for this (t0m)
2311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2312 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2313 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2315 - added test for this (t0m)
2318 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2319 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2320 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2323 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2324 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2326 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2328 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2329 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2331 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2332 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2333 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2335 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2336 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2339 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2340 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2341 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2342 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2346 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2347 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2348 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2352 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2353 Rolsky and nothingmuch)

2357 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2361 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2367 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2368 created so that the process can be more easily

2403 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2404 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2406 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2407 ... this is not my day today ...
2409 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2410 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2411 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2412 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2413 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2416 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2417 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2418 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2419 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2420 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2423 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2425 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2426 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2427 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2428 this is not ever something you want to do
2429 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2430 - added tests for this (stevan)
2433 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2435 - added test for this
2437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2444 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2446 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2447 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2448 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2451 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2453 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2455 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2458 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2459 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2460 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2461 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2462 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2463 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2464 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2465 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2466 - added tests for this
2468 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2469 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2470 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2471 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2473 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2536 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2538 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2539 (early morning release engineering)--
2541 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2542 which was causing the indexer to choke
2544 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2545 (late night release engineering)--
2547 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2548 changes in this release

2556 since it is called so often by &meta
2558 * Moose::Meta::Class
2560 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2561 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2565 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2566 method for immutablization to check if the
2567 destructor object even needs to be created
2570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2571 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2572 - added more descriptive error message to help
2573 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2574 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2576 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2578 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2579 XS based functionality is now optional
2580 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2581 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2582 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2584 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2585 to take care of this, mostly we added
2586 support for the package_name and name
2587 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2588 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2589 support regexp matching of names
2590 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2591 - tests added for this
2592 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2593 is currently not supported in roles,
2594 but, ... patches welcome
2595 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2596 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2597 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2600 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2601 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2602 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2603 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2604 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2605 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2606 - added test for this
2608 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2609 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2610 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2613 * Moose::Meta::Class
2614 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2618 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2620 - added tests for this
2621 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2622 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2625 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2626 themselves parameterizable types
2628 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2629 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2630 called by the inlined immutable
2632 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2634 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2635 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2636 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2637 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2639 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2640 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2652 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2655 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2656 ->body when looping through the
2657 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2659 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2660 eating the $@ values, and so not
2661 working correctly, it still kind of
2662 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2663 - added tests for this
2665 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2666 - added new recipe for immutable
2667 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2669 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2685 drink more coffee before
2686 doing release engineering
2688 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2689 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2690 modules. This fixes that.

2722 - added test for this
2724 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2800 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2801 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2803 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2805 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2806 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2807 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2808 officially support it.
2809 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2810 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2845 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2847 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2848 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2849 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2850 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2851 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2853 - added more delegation tests
2854 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2855 support traits and their introspection.
2856 - added tests for this

3096 - added tests for this
3099 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3100 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3139 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3142 - fixed how required methods are handled
3143 when they encounter overriden or modified
3144 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3145 - added tests for this
3147 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3148 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3149 the | always creates a union and so is
3150 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3151 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3153 - added more tests for this
3155 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3158 * Parameterized Types
3159 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3160 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3161 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3162 They can also be nested:
3163 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3164 And work with the type unions as well:
3165 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3167 * Better Framework Extendability
3168 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3169 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3170 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3171 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3174 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3175 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3176 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3177 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3421 then default to just loading $name.
3422 - added tests and docs for this
3424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3425 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3426 - added test for this
3429 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3431 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3432 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3434 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3435 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3438 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3440 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3441 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3442 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3445 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3446 !! for this developer release to work !!
3448 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3449 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3450 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3451 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3452 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3453 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3454 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3455 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3456 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3457 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3458 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3460 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3461 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3462 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3463 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3466 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3467 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3468 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3469 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3470 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3472 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3474 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3475 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3478 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3479 called unless they actually need to be.
3480 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3481 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3482 DEMOLISH method present.
3484 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3485 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3486 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3487 type constraint, which allows for a
3488 hand optimized version of the type
3489 constraint to be used when possible.
3490 - Any internally created type constraints
3491 now provide an optimized version as well.
3493 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3495 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3496 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3497 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3500 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3501 your class namespace of these exported
3504 * Moose::Meta::Class
3505 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3506 comes up during global destruction
3508 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3512 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3515 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3516 - changed how we do type checks so that
3517 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3520 - moved accessor generation methods to
3521 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3522 conform to the API changes from
3525 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3526 - changed how constraints are compiled
3527 so that we do less recursion and more
3528 iteration. This makes the type check
3530 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3533 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3534 - created this from methods formerly found in
3535 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3537 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3538 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3540 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3541 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3543 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3544 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3546 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3548 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3549 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3550 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3551 - added tests for this
3552 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3553 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3554 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3555 - removed tests for this
3557 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3559 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3560 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3561 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3564 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3565 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3566 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3568 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3569 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3570 comments for more info.
3573 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3574 asked questions and common problems
3576 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3577 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3578 - added tests for this
3580 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3581 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3582 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3583 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3585 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3586 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3589 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3590 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3591 is much appreciated :)
3592 - added tests for this
3594 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3595 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3596 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3599 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3600 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3602 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3604 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3605 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3609 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3610 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3611 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3613 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3615 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3618 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3619 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3620 keywords because we need to localize them.
3621 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3623 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3624 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3625 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3628 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3631 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3632 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3633 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3636 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3637 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3638 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3640 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3642 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3643 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3644 bottom of your class file.
3647 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3650 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3652 - improved error message when loading modules so
3653 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3654 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3655 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3658 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3659 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3660 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3662 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3663 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3665 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3666 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3667 turn them on for you.
3668 - added tests for this
3669 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3670 in Moose::Meta::Class
3673 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3674 automatically turned on for you.

3696 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3697 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3698 - This release works in combination with
3699 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3700 release because it uses the a new
3701 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3702 complete Role implementation. It has
3703 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3704 the the previous CPAN version. This
3705 release also lacks good updated docs,
3706 the official release will have updated docs.
3709 - refactored the keyword exports
3710 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3711 accepts more than one Role at a time
3712 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3713 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3716 - refactored the keyword exports
3717 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3718 accepts more than one Role at a time
3720 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3721 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3722 string enumerations which can be used as
3724 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3727 - more careful checking of params to new()
3730 - much work done on the role composition
3731 - many new tests for conflict detection
3732 and composition edge cases
3733 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3734 looking at the tests
3736 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3737 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3738 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3740 * Moose::Meta::Class
3741 - some small changes to support the new
3743 - some small additions to support Roles
3745 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3746 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3748 - some small changes to support the new
3750 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3751 with the 'handles' option
3752 - added several tests for this
3753 - no docs for this yet
3755 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3757 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3758 thanks to chansen for this commit
3759 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3760 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3761 on a per-attribute basis
3762 - added tests for this
3763 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3764 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3765 experimental feature and probably not finished
3766 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3767 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3768 - added tests for this
3771 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3830 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3832 - added test for this
3835 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
