1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
10 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
14 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
16 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
19 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
23 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
25 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
26 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
30 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
31 more values were required. (rjbs)
33 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
37 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
38 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
42 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
43 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
44 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
45 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
47 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
48 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
49 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
51 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
52 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
55 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
56 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
57 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
58 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
62 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
63 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
64 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
65 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
68 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
72 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
73 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
76 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
77 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
80 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
81 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
82 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
84 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
85 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
88 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
89 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
90 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
92 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
93 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
96 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
97 the associated stash. (doy)
101 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
102 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
103 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
104 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
106 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
110 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
111 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
112 the attribute's reference.
116 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
117 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
122 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
123 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
124 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
127 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
128 the Object constraint).
130 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
134 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
135 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
140 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
142 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
146 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
149 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
151 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
155 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
157 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
161 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
164 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
165 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
166 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
168 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
171 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
175 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
177 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
181 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
183 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
187 * Include changes from 2.0010.
189 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
193 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
194 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
198 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
199 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
200 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
205 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
207 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
211 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
212 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
214 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
218 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
220 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
224 * Various packaging issues.
226 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
230 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
231 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
236 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
237 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
238 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
242 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
243 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
244 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
246 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
250 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
251 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
253 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
257 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
258 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
260 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
263 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
264 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
268 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
269 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
271 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
275 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
276 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
280 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
282 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
286 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
288 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
292 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
293 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
295 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
299 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
301 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
305 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
307 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
308 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
310 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
314 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
315 skips every other role. (rjbs)
317 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
318 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
319 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
320 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
321 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
323 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
327 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
328 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
329 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
332 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
337 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
339 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
340 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
342 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
346 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
347 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
348 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
352 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
353 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
355 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
356 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
358 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
359 environments. (doy, mateu)
361 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
365 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
366 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
367 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
368 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
372 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
373 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
375 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
379 * Update conflicts list.
382 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
386 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
387 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
388 details. (Dave Rolsky)
390 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
391 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
392 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
393 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
394 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
398 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
399 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
400 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
401 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
402 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
405 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
409 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
410 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
412 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
415 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
419 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
420 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
421 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
422 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
424 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
425 immutable classes). (mo)
427 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
428 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
429 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
431 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
435 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
437 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
439 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
443 * Fix some indexing issues.
445 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
447 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
451 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
452 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
453 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
454 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
455 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
457 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
458 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
463 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
464 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
465 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
466 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
468 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
469 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
470 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
474 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
475 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
478 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
482 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
483 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
487 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
491 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
492 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
493 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
494 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
497 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
501 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
504 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
508 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
509 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
510 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
513 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
517 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
518 policy. (Chris Prather)
520 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
521 on this new support policy. (doy)
525 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
526 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
527 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
529 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
530 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
532 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
536 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
537 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
538 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
539 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
542 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
546 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
547 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
550 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
554 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
555 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
557 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
558 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
562 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
563 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
564 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
565 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
566 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
567 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
569 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
570 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
572 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
573 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
574 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
575 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
577 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
578 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
580 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
585 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
586 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
588 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
592 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
593 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
594 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
596 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
600 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
601 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
602 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
604 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
605 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
608 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
609 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
612 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
613 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
614 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
616 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
617 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
622 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
623 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
624 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
625 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
627 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
628 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
630 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
631 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
633 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
634 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
635 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
636 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
638 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
639 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
640 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
643 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
644 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
645 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
646 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
648 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
649 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
652 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
653 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
654 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
656 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
660 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
661 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
662 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
664 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
665 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
666 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
669 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
670 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
671 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
673 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
674 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
675 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
677 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
678 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
682 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
683 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
684 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
686 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
687 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
688 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
689 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
691 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
695 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
696 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
697 value is a reference.
699 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
700 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
702 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
706 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
707 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
708 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
710 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
714 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
715 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
719 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
720 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
721 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
723 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
724 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
725 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
727 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
731 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
733 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
737 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
739 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
740 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
745 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
746 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
748 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
749 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
750 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
751 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
752 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
754 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
755 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
756 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
757 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
759 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
763 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
764 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
769 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
771 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
773 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
778 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
780 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
784 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
785 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
786 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
788 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
789 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
790 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
791 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
793 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
794 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
795 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
796 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
797 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
800 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
805 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
806 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
807 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
808 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
809 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
812 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
816 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
819 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
820 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
824 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
825 function (not just method). (doy)
829 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
830 and aren't easily installable/testable.
832 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
836 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
837 to be overridden more easily (doy).
839 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
843 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
844 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
846 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
850 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
851 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
852 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
854 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
858 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
859 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
860 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
862 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
863 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
867 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
868 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
870 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
871 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
875 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
876 is applied to a class (t0m).
878 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
879 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
881 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
884 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
885 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
887 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
888 be much more robust. (doy)
890 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
892 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
895 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
899 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
900 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
902 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
906 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
907 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
909 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
912 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
913 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
914 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
916 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
917 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
918 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
921 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
923 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
927 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
928 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
932 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
934 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
938 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
939 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
943 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
944 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
948 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
950 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
954 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
955 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
959 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
960 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
964 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
965 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
967 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
971 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
972 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
973 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
976 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
980 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
981 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
982 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
983 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
985 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
989 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
990 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
991 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
995 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
998 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1003 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1004 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1008 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1009 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1011 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1012 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1013 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1014 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1016 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1020 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1024 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1025 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1027 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1028 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1029 - Moose::Util::does_role
1030 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1031 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1032 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1034 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1038 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1039 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1040 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1043 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1047 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1048 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1051 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1055 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1056 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1059 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1063 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1065 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1066 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1068 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1069 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1070 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1072 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1073 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1074 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1077 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1078 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1080 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1081 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1082 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1084 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1086 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1087 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1089 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1091 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1094 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1095 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1097 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1098 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1100 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1101 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1102 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1103 dependencies installed.
1105 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1106 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1109 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1111 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1115 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1117 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1118 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1119 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1121 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1122 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1123 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1125 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1126 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1129 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1130 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1131 others. (nothingmuch)
1133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1134 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1135 remove_accessors. (doy)
1137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1138 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1139 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1141 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1142 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1144 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1146 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1147 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Class
1150 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1151 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1154 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1156 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1158 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1159 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1163 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1164 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1165 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1166 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1168 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1169 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1170 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1171 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1172 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1173 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1174 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1177 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1178 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1179 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1180 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1181 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1183 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1184 which were not receiving the value of
1185 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1186 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1187 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1188 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1192 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1193 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1194 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1195 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1196 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1199 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1200 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1201 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1202 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Class
1205 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1206 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1207 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1210 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1211 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1212 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1214 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1215 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1216 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1219 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1220 class if you pass it options for
1221 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1222 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1223 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1224 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1225 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1226 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1227 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1228 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1229 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1231 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1232 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1233 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1234 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1235 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1238 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1240 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1241 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1243 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1244 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1245 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1246 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1247 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1248 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1251 * Moose::Error::Croak
1252 * Moose::Error::Confess
1253 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1254 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1257 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1260 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1261 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1262 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1264 * Moose::Meta::Class
1265 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1268 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1269 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1270 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1272 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1273 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1274 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1275 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1276 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1278 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1279 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1282 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1284 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1285 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1288 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1289 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1292 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1293 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1294 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1296 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1297 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1298 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1299 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1300 using it for new code!
1302 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1303 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1304 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1305 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1307 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1308 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1309 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1310 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1311 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1312 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1313 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1314 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1317 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1320 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1321 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1324 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1325 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1327 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1328 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1329 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1331 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1332 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1333 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1334 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1336 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1337 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1338 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1341 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1342 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1345 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1346 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1347 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1348 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1349 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1350 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1352 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1354 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1358 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1359 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1361 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1362 associated_methods. (hdp)
1363 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1364 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1365 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1366 misspelled) arguments
1368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1369 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1370 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1371 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1373 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1374 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1375 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1377 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1380 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1381 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1382 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1385 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1386 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1388 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1389 * Moose::Meta::Class
1390 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1391 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1393 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1394 * Moose::Manual::Types
1395 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1396 string parsing rathole (mst)
1398 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1399 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1400 using plain objects instead
1402 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1403 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1404 that's what we need.
1406 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1407 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1408 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1409 three times today (perigrin)
1410 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1411 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1413 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1414 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1415 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1416 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1419 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1420 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1421 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1422 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1423 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1424 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1427 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1428 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1429 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1430 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1433 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1435 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1438 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1440 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1443 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1444 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1445 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1449 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1450 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1453 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1454 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1456 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1457 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1458 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1460 * Moose::Unsweetened
1461 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1463 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1464 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1467 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1471 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1472 methods during global destruction (doy)
1474 * Moose::Meta::Class
1475 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1476 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1477 consumption (Sartak)
1479 * Moose::Meta::Class
1480 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1481 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1484 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1485 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1488 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1489 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1491 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1493 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1497 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1498 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1499 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1502 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1503 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1504 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1507 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1509 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1510 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1511 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1515 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1516 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1517 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1519 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1520 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1521 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1524 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1527 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1528 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1529 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1533 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1534 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1536 * Moose::Meta::Class
1537 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1539 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1541 * Moose::Meta::Class
1542 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1543 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1546 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1547 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1550 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1551 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1554 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1557 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1560 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1563 * Moose::Meta::Class
1564 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1566 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1567 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1570 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1571 * More deprecations and renamings
1572 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1573 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1574 when an object is constructed)
1577 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1578 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1579 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1582 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1583 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1584 feature, and it works again.
1587 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1589 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1591 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1592 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1593 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1596 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1597 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1598 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1599 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1601 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1602 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1603 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1604 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1605 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1608 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1609 metaclass object. (hdp)
1611 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1612 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1613 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1614 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1615 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1616 point out this fact. (hdp)
1618 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1619 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1621 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1622 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1624 * Moose::Meta::Class
1625 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1626 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1627 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1628 called during instance construction were passed the
1629 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1630 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1632 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1633 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1636 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1637 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1638 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1641 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1642 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1643 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1644 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1645 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1647 - Moose::Meta::Class
1648 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1650 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1651 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1652 when an object is constructed)
1653 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1655 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1656 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1657 when an object is constructed)
1658 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1659 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1660 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1663 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1665 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1666 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1668 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1670 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1671 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1672 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1674 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1675 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1676 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1678 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1680 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1681 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1683 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1684 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1687 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1688 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1691 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1692 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1693 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1695 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1696 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1700 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1701 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1702 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1705 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1708 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1709 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1710 with recommended workarounds.
1712 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1713 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1716 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1717 (yes, spelled like that).
1719 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1720 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1722 * Moose::Meta::Class
1723 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1724 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1726 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1728 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1729 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1730 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1731 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1732 instead. Reported by doy.
1734 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1736 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1737 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1740 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1741 message) is now deprecated.
1742 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1743 often got it wrong. For example:
1745 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1747 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1751 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1752 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1753 bite you in weird cases.
1755 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1756 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1757 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1758 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1760 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1761 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1765 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1768 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1769 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1772 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1773 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1776 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1779 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1781 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1782 - added tests for this (stevan)
1784 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1785 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1786 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1787 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1791 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1792 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1793 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1794 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1796 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1797 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1798 - added tests for this (rafl)
1800 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1801 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1802 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1803 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1807 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1808 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1812 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1813 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1815 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1817 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1818 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1820 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1821 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1822 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1823 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1824 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1826 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1827 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1828 error message did not specify the attribute name
1831 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1833 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1835 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1836 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1837 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1839 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1840 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1843 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1845 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1846 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1847 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1848 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1850 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1852 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1853 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1854 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1855 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1857 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1858 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1859 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1862 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1863 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1864 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1865 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1867 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1868 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1869 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1870 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1871 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1874 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1875 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1876 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1877 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1878 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1880 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1881 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1882 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1883 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1884 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1885 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1887 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1888 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1890 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1891 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1892 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1893 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1895 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1896 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1899 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1903 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1904 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1906 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1907 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1908 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1909 guts. (nothingmuch).
1911 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1913 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1915 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1916 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1917 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1918 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1920 * Moose::Meta::Class
1921 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1924 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1925 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1927 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1928 * Moose::Unsweetened
1929 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1932 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1933 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1934 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1935 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1936 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1937 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1939 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1940 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1941 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1942 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1943 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1944 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1945 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1946 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1947 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1948 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1950 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1952 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1953 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1955 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1956 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1957 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1958 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1960 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1961 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1962 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1963 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1964 same methods for a single role did not work
1965 right (worked just fine with multiple
1967 - added test for this (stevan)
1969 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1970 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1971 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1974 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1975 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1976 - added test for this (t0m)
1979 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1980 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1981 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1984 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1985 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1986 - added test for this (t0m)
1988 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1989 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1990 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1991 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1992 - added test for this (perigrin)
1995 - create method for constructing a role
1996 dynamically (Sartak)
1997 - added test for this (Sartak)
1998 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1999 - added test for this (Sartak)
2002 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2004 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2005 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2006 methods is useful (Sartak)
2008 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2010 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2013 * Moose::Meta::Class
2014 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2015 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2016 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2017 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2018 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2019 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2022 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2023 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2025 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2026 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2027 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2028 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2029 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2031 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2033 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2034 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2035 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2038 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2039 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2040 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2041 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2042 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2043 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2047 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2048 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2049 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2050 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2051 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2052 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2053 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2054 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2055 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2056 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2058 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2059 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2062 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2063 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2064 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2065 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2066 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2068 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2070 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2071 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2072 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2074 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2075 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2078 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2079 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2080 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2083 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2084 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2086 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2088 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2089 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2091 * Moose::Meta::Class
2092 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2093 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2094 a required attribute
2096 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2097 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2098 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2099 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2101 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2102 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2104 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2105 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2106 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2107 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2108 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2109 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2110 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2111 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2113 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2114 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2115 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2117 * Roles and role application
2118 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2119 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2120 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2121 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2122 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2124 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2125 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2128 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2129 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2130 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2131 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2132 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2135 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2136 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2137 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2138 changes in the Moose internals.
2140 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2141 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2142 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2145 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2146 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2147 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2148 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2150 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2151 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2152 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2153 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2156 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2157 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2158 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2159 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2160 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2161 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2162 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2163 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2164 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2165 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2166 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2167 constraint implementations.
2169 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2173 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2174 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2175 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2176 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2177 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2178 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2179 - added tests for this (rafl)
2181 * Moose::Meta::Class
2182 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2183 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2184 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2185 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2186 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2187 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2188 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2189 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2192 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2193 - added tests for this (thepler)
2195 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2196 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2197 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2198 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2201 * Moose::Meta::Class
2202 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2203 * Moose::Meta::Method
2206 * Moose::Error::Default
2207 * Moose::Error::Croak
2208 * Moose::Error::Confess
2209 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2210 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2211 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2212 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2213 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2214 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2216 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2218 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2219 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2221 * Moose::Unsweetened
2222 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2223 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2224 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2226 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2227 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2228 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2229 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2230 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2233 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2234 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2236 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2237 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2238 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2239 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2242 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2244 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2245 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2247 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2250 - Various bug fixes.
2252 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2253 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

2257 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2258 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2259 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2260 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2261 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2262 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2264 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2265 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2266 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2268 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2269 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4

2273 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2274 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2275 dependency to 0.64_07.
2277 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2278 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2279 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2281 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2282 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2285 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2286 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2287 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2288 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2289 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2290 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2292 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2293 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2295 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2297 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2298 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2302 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2303 method when that method was provided by another role being
2304 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2305 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2307 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2314 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2315 - added test for this (t0m)
2317 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2318 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2319 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2321 - added test for this (t0m)
2324 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2325 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2326 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2329 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2330 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2332 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2334 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2335 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2337 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2338 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2339 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2341 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2342 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2345 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2346 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2348 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2352 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2353 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2354 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2358 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2359 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2360 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2363 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2367 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2372 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2373 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2374 created so that the process can be more easily

2409 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2410 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2412 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2413 ... this is not my day today ...
2415 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2416 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2417 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2418 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2419 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2422 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2423 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2424 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2425 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2426 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2429 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2431 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2432 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2433 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2434 this is not ever something you want to do
2435 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2436 - added tests for this (stevan)
2439 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2441 - added test for this

2450 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2452 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2453 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2454 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2457 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2459 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2461 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2464 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2465 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2466 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2467 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2468 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2469 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2470 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2471 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2472 - added tests for this
2474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2475 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2476 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2477 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2548 which was causing the indexer to choke
2550 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2551 (late night release engineering)--
2553 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2554 changes in this release

2567 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2571 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2572 method for immutablization to check if the
2573 destructor object even needs to be created
2576 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2577 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2578 - added more descriptive error message to help
2579 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2580 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2582 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2584 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2585 XS based functionality is now optional
2586 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2587 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2588 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2590 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2591 to take care of this, mostly we added
2592 support for the package_name and name
2593 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2594 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2595 support regexp matching of names
2596 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2597 - tests added for this
2598 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2599 is currently not supported in roles,
2600 but, ... patches welcome
2601 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2602 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2603 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2606 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2607 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2608 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2609 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2610 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2611 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2612 - added test for this
2614 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2615 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2616 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2619 * Moose::Meta::Class
2620 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2624 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2626 - added tests for this
2627 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2628 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2631 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2632 themselves parameterizable types
2634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2636 called by the inlined immutable
2638 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2640 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2641 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2642 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2643 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2645 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2646 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2658 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2661 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2662 ->body when looping through the
2663 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2665 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2666 eating the $@ values, and so not
2667 working correctly, it still kind of
2668 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2669 - added tests for this
2671 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2672 - added new recipe for immutable
2673 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2675 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2691 drink more coffee before
2692 doing release engineering
2694 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2695 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2696 modules. This fixes that.

2699 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2700 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2709 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2710 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2712 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2713 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2714 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2715 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will

2728 - added test for this
2730 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2806 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2807 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2809 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2811 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2812 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2813 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2814 officially support it.
2815 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2816 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2851 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2854 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2855 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2856 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2857 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2859 - added more delegation tests
2860 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2861 support traits and their introspection.
2862 - added tests for this

3102 - added tests for this
3105 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3106 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3145 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3148 - fixed how required methods are handled
3149 when they encounter overriden or modified
3150 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3151 - added tests for this
3153 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3154 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3155 the | always creates a union and so is
3156 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3157 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3159 - added more tests for this
3161 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3164 * Parameterized Types
3165 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3166 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3167 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3168 They can also be nested:
3169 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3170 And work with the type unions as well:
3171 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3173 * Better Framework Extendability
3174 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3175 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3176 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3177 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3180 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3181 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3182 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3183 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3186 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3188 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3189 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3391 so this release is just to fix that.
3394 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3395 to create multiple attrs (see docs)

3418 so that you can actually document your
3419 attributes and inspect them through the

3423 * Moose::Meta::Class
3424 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3425 it will first look in for the class in the
3426 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3427 then default to just loading $name.
3428 - added tests and docs for this
3430 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3431 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3432 - added test for this
3435 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3437 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3438 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3440 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3441 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3444 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3446 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3447 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3448 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3451 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3452 !! for this developer release to work !!
3454 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3455 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3456 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3457 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3458 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3459 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3460 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3461 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3462 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3463 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3464 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3466 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3467 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3468 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3469 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3472 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3474 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3475 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3476 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3478 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3480 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3481 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3484 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3485 called unless they actually need to be.
3486 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3487 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3488 DEMOLISH method present.
3490 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3491 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3492 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3493 type constraint, which allows for a
3494 hand optimized version of the type
3495 constraint to be used when possible.
3496 - Any internally created type constraints
3497 now provide an optimized version as well.
3499 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3501 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3502 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3503 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3505 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3506 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3507 your class namespace of these exported
3510 * Moose::Meta::Class
3511 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3512 comes up during global destruction
3514 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3518 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3522 - changed how we do type checks so that
3523 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3526 - moved accessor generation methods to
3527 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3528 conform to the API changes from
3531 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3532 - changed how constraints are compiled
3533 so that we do less recursion and more
3534 iteration. This makes the type check
3536 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3540 - created this from methods formerly found in
3541 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3543 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3544 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3546 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3547 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3549 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3550 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3552 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3554 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3555 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3556 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3557 - added tests for this
3558 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3559 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3560 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3561 - removed tests for this
3563 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3565 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3566 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3567 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3570 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3571 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3572 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3574 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3575 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3576 comments for more info.
3579 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3580 asked questions and common problems
3582 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3583 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3584 - added tests for this
3586 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3587 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3588 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3589 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3591 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3592 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3595 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3596 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3597 is much appreciated :)
3598 - added tests for this
3600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3601 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3602 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3605 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3606 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3608 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3610 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3611 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3615 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3616 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3617 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3619 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3621 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3624 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3625 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3626 keywords because we need to localize them.
3627 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3629 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3630 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3631 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3634 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3637 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3638 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3639 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3642 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3643 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3644 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3646 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3648 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3649 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3650 bottom of your class file.
3653 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3656 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3658 - improved error message when loading modules so
3659 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3660 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3661 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3664 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3665 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3666 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3668 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3669 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3671 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3672 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3673 turn them on for you.
3674 - added tests for this
3675 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3676 in Moose::Meta::Class
3679 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3680 automatically turned on for you.

3699 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3702 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3703 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3704 - This release works in combination with
3705 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3706 release because it uses the a new
3707 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3708 complete Role implementation. It has
3709 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3710 the the previous CPAN version. This
3711 release also lacks good updated docs,
3712 the official release will have updated docs.
3715 - refactored the keyword exports
3716 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3717 accepts more than one Role at a time
3718 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3719 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3722 - refactored the keyword exports
3723 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3724 accepts more than one Role at a time
3726 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3727 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3728 string enumerations which can be used as
3730 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3733 - more careful checking of params to new()
3736 - much work done on the role composition
3737 - many new tests for conflict detection
3738 and composition edge cases
3739 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3740 looking at the tests
3742 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3743 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3744 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3746 * Moose::Meta::Class
3747 - some small changes to support the new
3749 - some small additions to support Roles
3751 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3752 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3754 - some small changes to support the new
3756 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3757 with the 'handles' option
3758 - added several tests for this
3759 - no docs for this yet
3761 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3763 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3764 thanks to chansen for this commit
3765 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3766 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3767 on a per-attribute basis
3768 - added tests for this
3769 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3770 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3771 experimental feature and probably not finished

3773 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3774 - added tests for this

3836 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3838 - added test for this
3841 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
