1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0501 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
10 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
12 2.0500 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
16 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
17 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
21 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
22 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
23 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
24 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
25 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
30 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
31 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
32 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
33 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
35 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
36 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
37 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
39 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
40 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
41 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
42 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
44 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
45 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
46 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
47 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
49 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
50 package which was deleted. (doy)
52 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
56 * Minor documentation fixes.
58 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
61 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
65 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
66 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
68 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
72 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
74 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
78 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
80 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
83 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
87 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
89 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
90 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
94 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
95 more values were required. (rjbs)
97 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
101 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
102 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
106 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
107 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
108 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
109 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
111 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
112 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
113 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
115 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
116 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
119 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
120 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
121 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
122 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
126 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
127 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
128 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
129 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
132 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
136 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
137 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
138 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
140 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
141 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
142 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
144 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
145 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
146 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
148 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
149 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
152 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
153 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
154 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
156 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
157 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
160 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
161 the associated stash. (doy)
165 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
166 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
167 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
168 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
170 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
174 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
175 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
176 the attribute's reference.
180 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
181 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
186 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
187 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
188 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
191 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
192 the Object constraint).
194 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
198 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
199 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
204 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
206 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
210 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
213 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
215 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
219 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
221 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
225 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
228 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
229 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
230 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
232 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
235 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
239 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
241 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
245 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
247 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
251 * Include changes from 2.0010.
253 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
257 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
258 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
262 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
263 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
264 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
269 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
271 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
275 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
276 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
278 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
282 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
284 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
288 * Various packaging issues.
290 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
294 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
295 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
300 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
301 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
302 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
306 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
307 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
308 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
310 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
314 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
315 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
317 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
321 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
322 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
324 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
327 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
328 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
332 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
333 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
335 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
339 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
340 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
344 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
346 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
350 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
352 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
356 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
357 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
359 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
363 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
365 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
369 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
371 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
372 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
374 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
378 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
379 skips every other role. (rjbs)
381 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
382 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
383 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
384 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
385 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
387 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
391 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
392 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
393 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
396 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
401 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
403 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
404 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
406 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
410 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
411 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
412 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
416 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
417 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
419 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
420 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
422 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
423 environments. (doy, mateu)
425 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
429 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
430 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
431 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
432 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
436 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
437 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
439 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
443 * Update conflicts list.
446 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
450 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
451 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
452 details. (Dave Rolsky)
454 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
455 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
456 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
457 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
458 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
462 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
463 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
464 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
465 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
466 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
469 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
473 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
474 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
476 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
479 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
483 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
484 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
485 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
486 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
488 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
489 immutable classes). (mo)
491 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
492 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
493 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
495 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
499 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
501 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
503 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
507 * Fix some indexing issues.
509 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
511 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
515 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
516 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
517 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
518 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
519 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
521 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
522 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
527 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
528 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
529 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
530 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
532 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
533 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
534 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
538 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
539 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
542 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
546 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
547 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
551 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
555 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
556 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
557 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
558 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
561 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
565 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
568 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
572 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
573 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
574 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
577 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
581 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
582 policy. (Chris Prather)
584 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
585 on this new support policy. (doy)
589 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
590 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
591 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
593 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
594 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
596 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
600 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
601 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
602 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
603 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
606 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
610 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
611 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
614 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
618 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
619 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
621 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
622 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
626 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
627 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
628 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
629 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
630 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
631 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
633 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
634 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
636 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
637 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
638 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
639 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
641 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
642 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
644 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
649 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
650 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
652 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
656 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
657 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
658 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
660 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
664 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
665 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
666 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
668 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
669 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
672 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
673 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
676 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
677 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
678 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
680 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
681 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
686 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
687 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
688 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
689 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
691 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
692 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
694 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
695 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
697 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
698 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
699 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
700 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
702 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
703 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
704 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
707 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
708 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
709 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
710 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
712 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
713 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
716 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
717 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
718 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
720 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
724 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
725 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
726 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
728 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
729 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
730 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
733 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
734 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
735 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
737 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
738 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
739 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
741 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
742 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
746 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
747 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
748 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
750 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
751 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
752 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
753 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
755 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
759 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
760 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
761 value is a reference.
763 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
764 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
766 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
770 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
771 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
772 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
774 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
778 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
779 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
783 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
784 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
785 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
787 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
788 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
789 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
791 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
795 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
797 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
801 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
803 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
804 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
809 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
810 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
812 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
813 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
814 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
815 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
816 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
818 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
819 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
820 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
821 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
823 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
827 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
828 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
833 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
835 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
837 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
842 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
844 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
848 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
849 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
850 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
852 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
853 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
854 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
855 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
857 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
858 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
859 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
860 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
861 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
864 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
869 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
870 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
871 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
872 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
873 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
876 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
880 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
883 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
884 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
888 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
889 function (not just method). (doy)
893 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
894 and aren't easily installable/testable.
896 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
900 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
901 to be overridden more easily (doy).
903 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
907 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
908 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
910 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
914 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
915 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
916 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
918 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
922 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
923 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
924 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
926 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
927 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
931 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
932 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
934 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
935 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
939 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
940 is applied to a class (t0m).
942 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
943 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
945 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
948 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
949 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
951 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
952 be much more robust. (doy)
954 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
956 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
959 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
963 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
964 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
966 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
970 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
971 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
973 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
976 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
977 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
978 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
980 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
981 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
982 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
985 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
987 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
991 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
992 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
996 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
998 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1003 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1007 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1008 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1012 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1014 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1018 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1019 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1023 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1024 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1028 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1029 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1031 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1035 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1036 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1037 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1040 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1044 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1045 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1046 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1047 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1049 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1053 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1054 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1055 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1059 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1060 (Michael G. Schwern)
1062 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1067 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1068 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1072 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1073 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1075 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1076 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1077 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1078 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1080 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1084 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1088 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1089 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1091 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1092 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1093 - Moose::Util::does_role
1094 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1095 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1096 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1098 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1102 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1103 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1104 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1107 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1111 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1112 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1115 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1119 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1120 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1123 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1127 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1129 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1130 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1132 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1133 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1134 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1136 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1137 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1138 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1141 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1142 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1144 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1145 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1146 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1148 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1150 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1151 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1153 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1155 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1158 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1159 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1161 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1162 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1164 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1165 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1166 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1167 dependencies installed.
1169 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1170 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1173 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1175 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1179 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1181 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1182 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1183 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1185 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1186 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1187 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1189 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1190 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1193 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1194 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1195 others. (nothingmuch)
1197 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1198 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1199 remove_accessors. (doy)
1201 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1202 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1203 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1206 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1208 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1209 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1210 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1211 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1213 * Moose::Meta::Class
1214 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1215 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1217 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1218 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1220 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1222 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1223 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1227 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1228 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1229 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1230 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1232 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1233 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1235 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1236 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1237 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1238 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1241 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1242 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1243 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1244 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1245 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1247 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1248 which were not receiving the value of
1249 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1250 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1251 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1252 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1256 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1257 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1258 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1259 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1260 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1264 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1265 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1266 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1268 * Moose::Meta::Class
1269 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1270 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1271 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1274 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1275 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1276 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1279 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1280 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1283 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1284 class if you pass it options for
1285 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1286 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1287 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1288 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1289 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1290 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1291 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1292 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1293 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1295 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1296 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1297 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1298 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1299 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1302 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1303 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1304 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1305 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1308 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1309 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1310 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1311 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1312 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1315 * Moose::Error::Croak
1316 * Moose::Error::Confess
1317 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1318 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1321 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1324 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1325 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1326 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1328 * Moose::Meta::Class
1329 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1332 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1333 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1334 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1336 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1337 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1338 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1339 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1340 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1342 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1343 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1346 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1348 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1349 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1352 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1353 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1357 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1358 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1360 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1361 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1362 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1363 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1364 using it for new code!
1366 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1367 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1368 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1369 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1371 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1372 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1373 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1374 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1375 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1376 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1377 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1378 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1381 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1384 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1385 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1389 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1391 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1392 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1393 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1395 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1397 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1398 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1400 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1401 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1402 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1404 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1405 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1406 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1409 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1411 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1412 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1413 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1414 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1416 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1418 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1421 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1422 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1423 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1425 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1426 associated_methods. (hdp)
1427 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1428 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1429 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1430 misspelled) arguments
1432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1433 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1434 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1435 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1437 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1438 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1439 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1441 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1444 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1445 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1446 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1449 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1450 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1452 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1453 * Moose::Meta::Class
1454 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1455 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1457 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1458 * Moose::Manual::Types
1459 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1460 string parsing rathole (mst)
1462 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1463 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1464 using plain objects instead
1466 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1467 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1468 that's what we need.
1470 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1471 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1472 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1473 three times today (perigrin)
1474 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1475 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1478 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1479 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1480 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1483 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1484 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1485 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1486 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1487 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1488 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1491 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1492 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1493 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1494 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1497 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1499 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1502 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1504 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1507 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1508 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1509 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1513 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1514 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1517 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1518 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1520 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1521 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1522 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1524 * Moose::Unsweetened
1525 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1527 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1528 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1531 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1535 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1536 methods during global destruction (doy)
1538 * Moose::Meta::Class
1539 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1540 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1541 consumption (Sartak)
1543 * Moose::Meta::Class
1544 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1545 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1548 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1549 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1552 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1553 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1555 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1557 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1561 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1562 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1563 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1566 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1567 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1568 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1571 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1573 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1574 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1575 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1579 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1580 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1581 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1583 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1584 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1585 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1588 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1591 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1592 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1593 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1597 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1598 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1600 * Moose::Meta::Class
1601 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1603 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1605 * Moose::Meta::Class
1606 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1607 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1610 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1611 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1614 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1615 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1618 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1621 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1623 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1624 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1627 * Moose::Meta::Class
1628 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1630 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1631 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1634 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1635 * More deprecations and renamings
1636 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1637 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1638 when an object is constructed)
1641 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1642 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1643 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1645 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1646 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1647 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1648 feature, and it works again.
1651 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1653 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1655 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1656 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1657 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1659 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1660 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1661 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1662 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1663 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1665 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1666 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1667 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1668 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1669 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1672 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1673 metaclass object. (hdp)
1675 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1676 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1677 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1678 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1679 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1680 point out this fact. (hdp)
1682 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1683 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1685 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1686 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1688 * Moose::Meta::Class
1689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1690 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1691 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1692 called during instance construction were passed the
1693 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1694 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1696 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1697 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1700 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1701 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1702 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1705 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1706 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1707 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1708 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1709 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1711 - Moose::Meta::Class
1712 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1714 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1715 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1716 when an object is constructed)
1717 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1719 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1720 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1721 when an object is constructed)
1722 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1723 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1724 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1727 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1729 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1730 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1732 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1734 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1735 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1736 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1738 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1739 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1740 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1742 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1744 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1745 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1747 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1748 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1751 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1752 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1755 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1756 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1757 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1759 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1760 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1764 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1765 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1766 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1768 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1769 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1772 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1773 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1774 with recommended workarounds.
1776 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1777 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1779 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1780 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1781 (yes, spelled like that).
1783 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1784 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1786 * Moose::Meta::Class
1787 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1788 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1790 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1792 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1793 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1794 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1795 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1796 instead. Reported by doy.
1798 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1800 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1801 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1803 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1804 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1805 message) is now deprecated.
1806 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1807 often got it wrong. For example:
1809 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1811 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1815 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1816 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1817 bite you in weird cases.
1819 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1820 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1821 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1822 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1824 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1825 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1829 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1832 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1833 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1836 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1837 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1839 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1840 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1843 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1845 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1846 - added tests for this (stevan)
1848 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1849 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1850 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1851 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1855 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1856 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1857 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1858 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1860 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1861 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1862 - added tests for this (rafl)
1864 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1865 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1866 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1867 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1871 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1872 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1876 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1877 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1879 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1881 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1882 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1884 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1885 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1886 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1887 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1888 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1890 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1891 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1892 error message did not specify the attribute name
1895 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1897 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1899 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1900 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1901 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1903 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1904 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1907 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1909 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1910 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1911 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1912 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1914 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1916 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1917 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1918 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1919 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1922 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1923 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1926 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1927 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1928 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1929 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1931 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1932 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1933 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1934 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1935 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1938 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1939 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1940 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1941 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1942 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1944 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1945 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1946 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1947 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1948 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1949 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1951 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1952 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1954 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1955 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1956 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1957 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1959 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1960 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1963 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1967 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1968 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1970 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1971 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1972 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1973 guts. (nothingmuch).
1975 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1976 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1977 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1980 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1981 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1982 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1984 * Moose::Meta::Class
1985 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1988 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1989 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1991 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1992 * Moose::Unsweetened
1993 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1996 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1997 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1998 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1999 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2000 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2001 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2003 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2004 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2005 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2006 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2007 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2008 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2009 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2010 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2011 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2012 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2014 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2016 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2017 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2020 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2021 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2022 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2024 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2025 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2026 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2027 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2028 same methods for a single role did not work
2029 right (worked just fine with multiple
2031 - added test for this (stevan)
2033 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2034 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2035 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2038 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2039 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2040 - added test for this (t0m)
2043 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2044 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2045 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2048 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2049 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2050 - added test for this (t0m)
2052 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2053 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2054 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2055 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2056 - added test for this (perigrin)
2059 - create method for constructing a role
2060 dynamically (Sartak)
2061 - added test for this (Sartak)
2062 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2063 - added test for this (Sartak)
2066 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2068 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2069 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2070 methods is useful (Sartak)
2072 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2073 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2074 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2077 * Moose::Meta::Class
2078 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2079 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2080 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2081 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2082 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2083 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2086 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2087 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2089 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2090 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2091 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2092 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2093 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2095 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2097 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2098 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2099 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2102 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2103 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2104 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2105 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2106 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2107 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2111 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2112 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2113 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2114 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2115 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2116 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2117 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2118 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2119 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2120 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2122 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2123 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2127 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2128 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2129 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2130 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2132 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2134 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2135 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2136 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2139 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2142 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2143 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2144 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2147 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2148 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2150 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2152 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2153 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2155 * Moose::Meta::Class
2156 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2157 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2158 a required attribute
2160 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2161 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2162 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2163 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2165 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2166 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2168 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2169 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2170 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2171 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2172 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2173 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2174 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2175 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2177 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2178 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2179 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2181 * Roles and role application
2182 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2183 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2184 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2185 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2186 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2188 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2189 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2192 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2193 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2194 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2195 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2196 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2199 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2200 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2201 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2202 changes in the Moose internals.
2204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2205 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2206 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2210 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2211 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2212 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2214 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2215 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2216 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2217 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2219 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2220 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2221 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2222 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2223 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2224 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2225 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2226 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2227 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2228 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2229 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2230 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2231 constraint implementations.
2233 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2237 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2238 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2239 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2240 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2241 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2242 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2243 - added tests for this (rafl)
2245 * Moose::Meta::Class
2246 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2247 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2248 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2249 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2250 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2251 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2252 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2253 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2256 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2257 - added tests for this (thepler)
2259 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2260 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2261 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2262 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2265 * Moose::Meta::Class
2266 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2267 * Moose::Meta::Method
2270 * Moose::Error::Default
2271 * Moose::Error::Croak
2272 * Moose::Error::Confess
2273 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2274 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2275 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2276 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2277 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2278 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2280 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2282 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2283 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2285 * Moose::Unsweetened
2286 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2287 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2288 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2290 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2291 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2292 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2293 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2294 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2297 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2298 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2300 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2301 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2302 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2303 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2306 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2308 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2309 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2311 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2314 - Various bug fixes.
2316 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2317 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2319 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2321 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2322 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2323 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2324 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2325 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2326 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2328 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2329 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2330 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2332 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2333 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2334 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2337 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2338 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2339 dependency to 0.64_07.
2341 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2342 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2343 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2345 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2346 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2349 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2350 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2351 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2352 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2353 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2354 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2356 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2357 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2359 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2361 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2362 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2366 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2367 method when that method was provided by another role being
2368 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2369 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2371 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2373 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2374 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2376 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2377 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2378 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2379 - added test for this (t0m)
2381 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2382 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2383 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2385 - added test for this (t0m)
2388 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2389 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2390 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2393 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2394 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2396 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2398 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2399 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2401 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2402 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2403 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2405 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2406 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2409 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2410 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2411 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2412 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2416 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2417 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2418 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2421 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2422 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2423 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2424 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2427 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2431 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2432 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2433 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2435 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2437 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2438 created so that the process can be more easily
2439 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2442 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2443 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2444 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2446 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2447 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2450 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2451 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2453 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2454 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2455 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2457 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2458 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2459 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2461 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2462 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2464 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2465 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2468 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2469 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2473 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2474 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2476 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2477 ... this is not my day today ...
2479 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2480 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2481 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2482 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2483 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2486 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2487 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2488 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2489 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2490 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2493 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2495 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2496 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2497 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2498 this is not ever something you want to do
2499 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2500 - added tests for this (stevan)
2503 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2505 - added test for this
2507 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2508 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2509 - added tests for this (wreis)
2511 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2512 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2513 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2514 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2516 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2517 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2518 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2521 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2523 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2525 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2528 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2529 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2530 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2531 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2532 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2533 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2534 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2535 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2536 - added tests for this
2538 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2539 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2540 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2541 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2543 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2545 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2546 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2547 - added tests for this (sartak)
2548 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2549 install_delegation method (Stevan)

2559 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2560 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2562 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2564 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2565 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2572 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2573 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2574 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2576 - added docs for this (TODO).
2577 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2578 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2579 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

2585 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2587 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2588 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2589 - switched usage of reftype to ref because

2597 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2598 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2599 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2601 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2602 - move the ClassName type check code to
2603 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2605 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2606 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2608 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2609 (early morning release engineering)--
2611 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2612 which was causing the indexer to choke
2614 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2615 (late night release engineering)--
2617 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2618 changes in this release
2620 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2621 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2622 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2624 * Moose::Meta::Class
2625 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2626 since it is called so often by &meta
2628 * Moose::Meta::Class
2630 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2631 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2635 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2636 method for immutablization to check if the
2637 destructor object even needs to be created
2640 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2641 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2642 - added more descriptive error message to help
2643 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2644 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2646 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2648 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2649 XS based functionality is now optional
2650 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2651 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2652 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2654 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2655 to take care of this, mostly we added
2656 support for the package_name and name
2657 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2658 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2659 support regexp matching of names
2660 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2661 - tests added for this
2662 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2663 is currently not supported in roles,
2664 but, ... patches welcome
2665 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2666 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2667 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2670 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2671 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2672 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2673 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2674 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2675 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2676 - added test for this
2678 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2679 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2680 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2683 * Moose::Meta::Class
2684 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2688 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2690 - added tests for this
2691 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2692 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2695 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2696 themselves parameterizable types
2698 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2699 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2700 called by the inlined immutable
2702 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2704 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2705 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2706 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2707 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2709 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2710 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2714 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2715 causing occasional cpantester failures
2716 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2717 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2719 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2721 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2722 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2725 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2726 ->body when looping through the
2727 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2729 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2730 eating the $@ values, and so not
2731 working correctly, it still kind of
2732 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2733 - added tests for this
2735 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2736 - added new recipe for immutable
2737 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2739 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2740 - added new recipe for builder and
2741 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2743 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2744 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2745 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2748 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2750 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2751 since Module::Install has done that.
2753 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2755 drink more coffee before
2756 doing release engineering
2758 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2759 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2760 modules. This fixes that.
2762 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2763 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2764 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2766 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2767 since we have tests which need the C3
2770 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2771 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2773 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2774 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2776 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2777 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2778 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2779 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2785 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2786 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2788 * Moose::Meta::Class
2789 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2790 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the

2873 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2875 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3166 - added tests for this
3169 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3170 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3212 - fixed how required methods are handled
3213 when they encounter overriden or modified
3214 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3215 - added tests for this
3217 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3218 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3219 the | always creates a union and so is
3220 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3225 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3228 * Parameterized Types
3229 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3230 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3231 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3232 They can also be nested:
3233 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3234 And work with the type unions as well:
3235 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3237 * Better Framework Extendability
3238 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3239 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3240 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3241 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3244 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3245 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3246 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3247 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3455 so this release is just to fix that.
3458 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3459 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3460 (thanks to konobi for this)
3461 - added tests and docs
3463 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3464 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3467 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3468 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3469 - added tests for this
3470 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3471 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3472 functions to facilitate introspection.
3474 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3475 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3476 to build the list of delegated methods
3477 correctly (and not override important
3478 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3480 - added tests and docs for this
3481 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3482 so that you can actually document your
3483 attributes and inspect them through the
3485 - added tests and docs for this
3487 * Moose::Meta::Class
3488 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3489 it will first look in for the class in the
3490 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3491 then default to just loading $name.
3492 - added tests and docs for this
3494 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3495 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3496 - added test for this
3499 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3500 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3501 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3502 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3504 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3505 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3508 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3510 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3511 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3512 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3515 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3516 !! for this developer release to work !!
3518 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3519 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3520 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3521 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3522 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3523 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3524 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3525 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3526 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3527 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3528 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3530 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3531 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3532 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3533 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3536 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3538 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3539 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3540 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3542 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3544 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3545 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3548 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3549 called unless they actually need to be.
3550 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3551 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3552 DEMOLISH method present.
3554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3555 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3556 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3557 type constraint, which allows for a
3558 hand optimized version of the type
3559 constraint to be used when possible.
3560 - Any internally created type constraints
3561 now provide an optimized version as well.
3563 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3565 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3566 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3567 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3569 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3570 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3571 your class namespace of these exported
3574 * Moose::Meta::Class
3575 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3576 comes up during global destruction
3578 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3582 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3585 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3586 - changed how we do type checks so that
3587 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3590 - moved accessor generation methods to
3591 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3592 conform to the API changes from
3595 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3596 - changed how constraints are compiled
3597 so that we do less recursion and more
3598 iteration. This makes the type check
3600 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3603 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3604 - created this from methods formerly found in
3605 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3607 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3608 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3610 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3611 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3613 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3614 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3616 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3618 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3619 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3620 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3621 - added tests for this
3622 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3623 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3624 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3625 - removed tests for this
3627 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3629 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3630 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3631 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3634 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3635 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3636 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3638 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3639 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3640 comments for more info.
3643 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3644 asked questions and common problems
3646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3647 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3648 - added tests for this
3650 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3651 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3652 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3653 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3655 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3656 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3659 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3660 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3661 is much appreciated :)
3662 - added tests for this
3664 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3665 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3666 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3669 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3670 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3672 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3674 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3675 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3679 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3680 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3681 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3683 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3685 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3688 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3689 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3690 keywords because we need to localize them.
3691 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3693 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3694 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3695 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3698 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3701 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3702 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3703 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3706 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3707 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3708 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3710 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3712 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3713 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3714 bottom of your class file.
3717 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3720 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3722 - improved error message when loading modules so
3723 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3724 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3725 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3728 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3729 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3730 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3732 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3733 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3735 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3736 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3737 turn them on for you.
3738 - added tests for this
3739 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3740 in Moose::Meta::Class

3767 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3768 - This release works in combination with
3769 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3770 release because it uses the a new
3771 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3772 complete Role implementation. It has
3773 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3774 the the previous CPAN version. This
3775 release also lacks good updated docs,
3776 the official release will have updated docs.
3779 - refactored the keyword exports
3780 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3781 accepts more than one Role at a time

3787 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3788 accepts more than one Role at a time
3790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3792 string enumerations which can be used as
3794 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3797 - more careful checking of params to new()
3800 - much work done on the role composition
3801 - many new tests for conflict detection
3802 and composition edge cases
3803 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3804 looking at the tests
3806 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3807 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3808 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3810 * Moose::Meta::Class

3813 - some small additions to support Roles
3815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3816 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3818 - some small changes to support the new
3820 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3821 with the 'handles' option
3822 - added several tests for this
3823 - no docs for this yet

3827 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3828 thanks to chansen for this commit
3829 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3830 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3831 on a per-attribute basis
3832 - added tests for this
3833 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3834 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
