1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * properly apply traits at compile time (error introduced in 2.0800,
11 2.0800 Wed, Mar 27, 2013
15 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
16 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
18 * Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
19 without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
23 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
24 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
25 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
27 * Fix memory leak in type unions. (Karen Etheridge) RT#83929.
29 * Fix application of traits at compile time. (doy) RT#77974.
31 2.0604 Wed, Sep 19, 2012
35 * Fix nonsensical error message for inlined accessors of required attributes.
38 * Stop trying to localize a lexical (blead now throws an error for this). RT
39 #79257, perl #114628. (sprout)
43 * Depend on a version of Carp new enough to have caller_info. RT #79367.
46 2.0603 Thu, Jun 28, 2012
50 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
52 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
56 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
57 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
58 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
59 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
60 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
62 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
66 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
67 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
68 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
70 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
74 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
76 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
80 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
81 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
82 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
85 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
87 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
91 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
93 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
97 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
98 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
102 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
103 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
104 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
105 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
106 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
111 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
112 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
113 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
114 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
116 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
117 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
118 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
120 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
121 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
122 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
123 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
125 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
126 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
127 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
128 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
130 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
131 package which was deleted. (doy)
133 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
137 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
139 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
143 * Minor documentation fixes.
145 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
146 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
148 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
152 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
153 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
155 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
159 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
161 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
165 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
167 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
170 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
174 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
176 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
177 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
181 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
182 more values were required. (rjbs)
184 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
188 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
189 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
193 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
194 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
195 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
196 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
198 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
199 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
200 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
202 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
203 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
206 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
207 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
208 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
209 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
213 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
214 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
215 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
216 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
219 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
223 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
224 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
225 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
227 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
228 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
229 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
231 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
232 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
233 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
235 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
236 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
239 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
240 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
241 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
243 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
244 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
247 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
248 the associated stash. (doy)
252 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
253 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
254 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
255 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
257 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
261 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
262 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
263 the attribute's reference.
267 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
268 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
273 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
274 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
275 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
278 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
279 the Object constraint).
281 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
285 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
286 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
291 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
293 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
297 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
300 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
302 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
306 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
308 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
312 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
315 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
316 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
317 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
319 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
322 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
326 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
328 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
332 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
334 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
338 * Include changes from 2.0010.
340 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
344 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
345 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
349 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
350 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
351 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
356 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
358 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
362 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
363 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
365 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
369 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
371 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
375 * Various packaging issues.
377 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
381 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
382 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
387 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
388 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
389 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
393 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
394 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
395 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
397 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
401 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
402 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
404 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
408 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
409 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
411 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
414 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
415 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
419 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
420 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
422 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
426 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
427 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
431 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
433 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
437 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
439 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
443 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
444 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
446 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
450 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
452 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
456 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
458 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
459 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
461 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
465 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
466 skips every other role. (rjbs)
468 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
469 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
470 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
471 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
472 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
474 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
478 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
479 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
480 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
483 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
488 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
490 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
491 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
493 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
497 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
498 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
499 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
503 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
504 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
506 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
507 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
509 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
510 environments. (doy, mateu)
512 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
516 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
517 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
518 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
519 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
523 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
524 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
526 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
530 * Update conflicts list.
533 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
537 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
538 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
539 details. (Dave Rolsky)
541 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
542 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
543 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
544 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
545 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
549 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
550 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
551 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
552 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
553 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
556 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
560 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
561 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
563 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
566 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
570 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
571 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
572 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
573 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
575 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
576 immutable classes). (mo)
578 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
579 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
580 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
582 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
586 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
588 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
590 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
594 * Fix some indexing issues.
596 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
598 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
602 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
603 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
604 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
605 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
606 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
608 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
609 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
614 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
615 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
616 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
617 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
619 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
620 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
621 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
625 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
626 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
629 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
633 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
634 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
638 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
642 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
643 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
644 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
645 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
648 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
652 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
655 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
659 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
660 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
661 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
664 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
668 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
669 policy. (Chris Prather)
671 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
672 on this new support policy. (doy)
676 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
677 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
678 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
680 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
681 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
683 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
687 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
688 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
689 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
690 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
693 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
697 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
698 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
701 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
705 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
706 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
708 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
709 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
713 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
714 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
715 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
716 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
717 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
718 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
720 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
721 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
723 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
724 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
725 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
726 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
728 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
729 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
731 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
736 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
737 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
739 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
743 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
744 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
745 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
747 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
751 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
752 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
753 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
755 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
756 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
759 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
760 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
763 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
764 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
765 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
767 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
768 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
773 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
774 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
775 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
776 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
778 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
779 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
781 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
782 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
784 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
785 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
786 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
787 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
789 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
790 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
791 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
794 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
795 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
796 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
797 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
799 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
800 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
803 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
804 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
805 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
807 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
811 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
812 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
813 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
815 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
816 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
817 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
820 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
821 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
822 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
824 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
825 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
826 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
828 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
829 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
833 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
834 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
835 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
837 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
838 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
839 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
840 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
842 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
846 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
847 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
848 value is a reference.
850 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
851 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
853 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
857 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
858 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
859 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
861 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
865 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
866 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
870 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
871 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
872 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
874 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
875 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
876 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
878 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
882 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
884 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
888 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
890 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
891 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
896 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
897 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
899 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
900 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
901 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
902 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
903 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
905 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
906 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
907 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
908 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
910 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
914 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
915 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
920 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
922 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
924 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
929 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
931 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
935 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
936 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
937 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
939 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
940 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
941 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
942 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
944 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
945 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
946 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
947 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
948 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
951 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
956 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
957 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
958 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
959 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
960 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
963 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
967 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
970 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
971 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
975 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
976 function (not just method). (doy)
980 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
981 and aren't easily installable/testable.
983 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
987 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
988 to be overridden more easily (doy).
990 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
994 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
995 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
997 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
1001 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
1002 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
1003 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
1005 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
1009 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
1010 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
1011 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
1013 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
1014 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
1018 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
1019 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
1021 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
1022 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
1026 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
1027 is applied to a class (t0m).
1029 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
1030 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1032 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1035 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1036 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1038 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1039 be much more robust. (doy)
1041 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1043 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1046 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1050 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1051 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1053 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1057 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1058 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1060 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1063 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1064 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1065 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1067 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1068 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1069 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1072 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1074 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1078 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1079 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1083 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1085 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1090 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1094 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1095 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1099 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1101 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1105 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1106 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1110 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1111 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1115 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1116 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1118 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1122 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1123 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1124 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1127 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1131 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1132 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1133 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1134 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1136 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1140 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1141 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1142 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1146 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1147 (Michael G. Schwern)
1149 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1153 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1154 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1155 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1159 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1160 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1162 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1163 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1164 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1165 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1167 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1171 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1175 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1176 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1178 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1179 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1180 - Moose::Util::does_role
1181 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1182 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1183 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1185 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1189 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1190 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1191 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1194 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1198 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1199 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1202 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1206 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1207 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1210 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1214 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1216 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1217 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1219 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1220 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1221 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1223 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1224 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1225 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1228 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1229 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1231 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1232 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1233 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1235 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1237 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1238 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1240 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1242 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1245 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1246 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1248 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1249 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1251 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1252 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1253 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1254 dependencies installed.
1256 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1257 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1260 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1262 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1266 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1268 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1269 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1270 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1272 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1273 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1274 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1276 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1277 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1280 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1281 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1282 others. (nothingmuch)
1284 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1285 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1286 remove_accessors. (doy)
1288 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1289 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1290 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1292 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1293 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1295 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1296 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1297 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1298 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1300 * Moose::Meta::Class
1301 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1302 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1305 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1307 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1309 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1310 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1314 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1315 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1316 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1317 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1319 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1321 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1322 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1323 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1324 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1325 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1328 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1329 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1330 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1331 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1332 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1334 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1335 which were not receiving the value of
1336 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1337 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1338 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1339 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1343 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1344 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1345 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1346 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1347 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1350 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1351 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1352 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1353 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1355 * Moose::Meta::Class
1356 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1357 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1358 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1361 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1362 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1363 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1366 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1367 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1370 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1371 class if you pass it options for
1372 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1373 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1374 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1375 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1376 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1377 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1378 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1379 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1380 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1382 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1383 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1384 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1385 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1386 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1389 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1390 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1391 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1392 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1394 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1395 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1396 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1397 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1398 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1399 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1402 * Moose::Error::Croak
1403 * Moose::Error::Confess
1404 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1405 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1408 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1411 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1412 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1413 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1415 * Moose::Meta::Class
1416 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1419 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1420 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1421 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1423 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1424 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1425 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1426 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1427 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1429 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1430 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1433 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1435 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1436 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1439 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1440 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1442 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1443 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1444 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1445 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1447 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1448 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1449 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1450 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1451 using it for new code!
1453 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1454 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1455 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1456 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1458 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1459 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1460 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1461 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1462 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1463 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1464 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1465 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1468 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1471 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1472 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1475 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1476 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1479 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1480 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1482 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1484 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1485 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1487 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1488 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1489 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1492 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1493 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1496 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1498 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1499 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1500 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1501 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1503 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1505 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1508 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1509 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1510 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1512 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1513 associated_methods. (hdp)
1514 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1515 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1516 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1517 misspelled) arguments
1519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1520 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1521 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1522 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1524 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1525 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1526 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1528 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1531 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1532 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1533 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1536 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1537 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1539 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1540 * Moose::Meta::Class
1541 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1542 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1544 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1545 * Moose::Manual::Types
1546 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1547 string parsing rathole (mst)
1549 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1550 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1551 using plain objects instead
1553 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1554 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1555 that's what we need.
1557 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1558 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1559 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1560 three times today (perigrin)
1561 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1562 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1565 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1566 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1567 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1570 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1571 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1572 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1573 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1574 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1575 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1578 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1579 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1580 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1581 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1584 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1586 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1589 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1591 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1594 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1595 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1596 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1600 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1601 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1604 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1605 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1607 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1608 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1609 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1611 * Moose::Unsweetened
1612 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1614 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1615 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1618 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1622 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1623 methods during global destruction (doy)
1625 * Moose::Meta::Class
1626 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1627 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1628 consumption (Sartak)
1630 * Moose::Meta::Class
1631 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1632 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1635 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1636 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1639 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1640 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1642 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1644 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1648 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1649 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1650 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1653 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1654 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1655 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1658 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1660 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1661 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1662 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1665 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1666 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1667 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1668 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1670 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1671 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1672 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1675 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1678 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1679 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1680 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1684 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1685 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1687 * Moose::Meta::Class
1688 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1690 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1692 * Moose::Meta::Class
1693 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1694 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1697 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1698 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1701 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1702 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1705 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1708 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1710 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1711 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1714 * Moose::Meta::Class
1715 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1717 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1718 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1721 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1722 * More deprecations and renamings
1723 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1724 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1725 when an object is constructed)
1728 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1729 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1730 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1732 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1733 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1734 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1735 feature, and it works again.
1738 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1740 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1742 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1743 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1744 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1747 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1748 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1749 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1750 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1752 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1753 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1754 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1755 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1756 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1759 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1760 metaclass object. (hdp)
1762 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1763 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1764 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1765 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1766 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1767 point out this fact. (hdp)
1769 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1770 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1772 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1773 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1775 * Moose::Meta::Class
1776 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1777 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1778 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1779 called during instance construction were passed the
1780 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1781 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1783 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1784 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1787 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1788 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1789 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1792 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1793 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1794 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1795 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1796 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1798 - Moose::Meta::Class
1799 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1801 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1802 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1803 when an object is constructed)
1804 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1806 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1807 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1808 when an object is constructed)
1809 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1810 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1811 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1814 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1816 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1817 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1819 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1821 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1822 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1823 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1825 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1826 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1827 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1829 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1831 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1832 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1834 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1835 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1838 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1839 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1842 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1843 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1844 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1846 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1847 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1851 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1852 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1853 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1855 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1856 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1859 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1860 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1861 with recommended workarounds.
1863 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1864 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1866 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1867 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1868 (yes, spelled like that).
1870 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1871 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1873 * Moose::Meta::Class
1874 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1875 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1877 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1879 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1880 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1881 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1882 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1883 instead. Reported by doy.
1885 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1887 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1888 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1890 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1891 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1892 message) is now deprecated.
1893 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1894 often got it wrong. For example:
1896 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1898 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1902 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1903 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1904 bite you in weird cases.
1906 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1907 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1908 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1909 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1911 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1912 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1916 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1919 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1920 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1924 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1927 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1930 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1931 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1932 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1933 - added tests for this (stevan)
1935 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1936 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1937 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1938 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1942 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1943 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1944 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1945 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1947 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1948 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1949 - added tests for this (rafl)
1951 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1952 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1953 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1954 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1958 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1959 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1962 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1963 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1964 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1968 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1969 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1971 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1972 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1973 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1974 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1975 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1977 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1978 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1979 error message did not specify the attribute name
1982 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1984 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1986 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1987 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1988 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1990 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1991 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1994 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1996 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1997 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1998 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1999 of fixes and formatting improvements.
2001 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
2003 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
2004 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
2005 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
2006 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2009 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
2010 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
2012 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2013 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
2014 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
2015 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
2016 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
2018 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2019 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
2020 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
2021 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
2022 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
2024 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2025 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
2026 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
2027 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
2028 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
2029 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
2031 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2032 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2033 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2034 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2035 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2036 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2038 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2039 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2041 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2042 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2043 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2044 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2046 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2047 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2050 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2054 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2055 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2057 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2058 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2059 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2060 guts. (nothingmuch).
2062 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2063 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2064 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2066 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2067 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2068 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2069 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2071 * Moose::Meta::Class
2072 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2075 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2076 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2078 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2079 * Moose::Unsweetened
2080 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2083 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2084 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2085 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2086 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2087 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2088 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2090 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2091 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2092 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2093 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2094 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2095 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2096 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2097 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2098 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2099 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2101 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2103 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2104 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2107 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2108 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2109 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2111 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2112 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2113 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2114 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2115 same methods for a single role did not work
2116 right (worked just fine with multiple
2118 - added test for this (stevan)
2120 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2121 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2122 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2125 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2126 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2127 - added test for this (t0m)
2130 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2131 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2132 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2134 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2135 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2136 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2137 - added test for this (t0m)
2139 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2140 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2141 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2142 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2143 - added test for this (perigrin)
2146 - create method for constructing a role
2147 dynamically (Sartak)
2148 - added test for this (Sartak)
2149 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2150 - added test for this (Sartak)
2153 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2155 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2156 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2157 methods is useful (Sartak)
2159 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2160 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2161 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2164 * Moose::Meta::Class
2165 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2166 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2167 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2168 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2169 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2170 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2173 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2174 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2176 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2177 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2178 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2179 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2180 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2182 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2184 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2185 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2186 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2189 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2190 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2191 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2192 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2193 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2194 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2198 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2199 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2200 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2201 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2202 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2203 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2204 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2205 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2206 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2207 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2210 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2214 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2215 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2216 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2217 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2219 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2221 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2222 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2223 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2225 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2226 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2229 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2230 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2231 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2234 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2235 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2237 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2239 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2240 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2242 * Moose::Meta::Class
2243 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2244 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2245 a required attribute
2247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2248 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2249 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2250 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2252 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2253 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2255 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2256 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2257 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2258 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2259 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2260 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2261 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2262 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2264 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2265 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2266 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2268 * Roles and role application
2269 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2270 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2271 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2272 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2273 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2275 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2276 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2279 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2280 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2281 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2282 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2283 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2286 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2287 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2288 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2289 changes in the Moose internals.
2291 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2292 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2293 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2297 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2298 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2299 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2302 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2303 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2304 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2307 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2308 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2309 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2310 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2311 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2312 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2313 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2314 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2315 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2316 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2317 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2318 constraint implementations.
2320 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2324 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2325 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2326 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2327 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2328 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2329 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2330 - added tests for this (rafl)
2332 * Moose::Meta::Class
2333 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2334 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2335 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2336 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2337 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2338 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2339 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2340 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2343 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2344 - added tests for this (thepler)
2346 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2347 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2348 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2349 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2352 * Moose::Meta::Class
2353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2354 * Moose::Meta::Method
2357 * Moose::Error::Default
2358 * Moose::Error::Croak
2359 * Moose::Error::Confess
2360 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2361 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2362 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2363 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2364 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2365 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2367 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2369 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2370 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2372 * Moose::Unsweetened
2373 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2374 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2375 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2377 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2378 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2379 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2380 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2381 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2384 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2385 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2387 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2388 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2389 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2390 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2393 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2395 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2396 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2398 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2401 - Various bug fixes.
2403 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2404 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2406 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2408 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2409 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2410 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2411 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2412 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2413 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2415 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2416 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2417 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2419 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2420 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2421 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2424 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2425 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2426 dependency to 0.64_07.
2428 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2429 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2430 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2432 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2433 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2437 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2438 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2439 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2440 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2441 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2443 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2444 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2446 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2448 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2449 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2453 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2454 method when that method was provided by another role being
2455 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2456 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2458 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2460 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2461 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2464 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2465 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2466 - added test for this (t0m)
2468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2469 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2470 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2472 - added test for this (t0m)
2475 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2476 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2477 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2480 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2481 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2483 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2485 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2486 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2488 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2489 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2490 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2492 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2493 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2496 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2497 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2498 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2499 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2503 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2504 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2505 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2508 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2509 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2510 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2511 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2514 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2518 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2519 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2520 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2522 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2523 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2524 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2525 created so that the process can be more easily
2526 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2528 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2529 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2530 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2531 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2533 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2534 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2537 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2538 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2540 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2541 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2542 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2544 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2545 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2546 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2548 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2549 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2551 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2552 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2555 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2556 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2560 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2561 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2563 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2564 ... this is not my day today ...
2566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2567 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2568 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2569 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2570 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2573 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2574 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2575 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2576 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2577 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2580 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2582 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2583 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2584 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2585 this is not ever something you want to do
2586 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2587 - added tests for this (stevan)
2590 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2592 - added test for this
2594 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2595 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2596 - added tests for this (wreis)
2598 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2599 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2600 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2601 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2603 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2604 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2605 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2608 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2610 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2612 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2615 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2616 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2617 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2618 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2619 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2620 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2621 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2622 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2623 - added tests for this
2625 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2626 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2627 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2628 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2630 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2632 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2633 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2634 - added tests for this (sartak)
2635 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2636 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2639 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2641 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2642 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2645 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2646 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2647 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2649 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2651 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2652 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2655 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2656 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2657 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2659 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2660 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2661 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2663 - added docs for this (TODO).
2664 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2665 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2666 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2667 - fix builder and default both being used
2672 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2674 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2675 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2676 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2680 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2684 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2685 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2686 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2689 - move the ClassName type check code to
2690 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2692 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2693 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2695 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2696 (early morning release engineering)--
2698 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2699 which was causing the indexer to choke
2701 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2702 (late night release engineering)--
2704 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2705 changes in this release
2707 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2708 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2709 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2711 * Moose::Meta::Class
2712 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2713 since it is called so often by &meta
2715 * Moose::Meta::Class
2717 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2718 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2722 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2723 method for immutablization to check if the
2724 destructor object even needs to be created
2727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2728 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2729 - added more descriptive error message to help
2730 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2731 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2733 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2735 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2736 XS based functionality is now optional
2737 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2738 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2739 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2741 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2742 to take care of this, mostly we added
2743 support for the package_name and name
2744 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2745 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2746 support regexp matching of names
2747 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2748 - tests added for this
2749 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2750 is currently not supported in roles,
2751 but, ... patches welcome
2752 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2753 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2754 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2757 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2758 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2759 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2760 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2761 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2762 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2763 - added test for this
2765 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2766 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2767 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2770 * Moose::Meta::Class
2771 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2775 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2777 - added tests for this
2778 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2779 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2781 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2782 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2783 themselves parameterizable types
2785 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2786 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2787 called by the inlined immutable

2842 drink more coffee before
2843 doing release engineering
2845 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2960 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2962 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3006 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
3007 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3300 when they encounter overriden or modified
3301 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3302 - added tests for this
3304 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

3308 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3310 - added more tests for this
3312 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3315 * Parameterized Types
3316 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3317 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3318 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3319 They can also be nested:
3320 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3321 And work with the type unions as well:
3322 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3324 * Better Framework Extendability
3325 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3326 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3327 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3328 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3331 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3332 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3333 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3334 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3473 - added tests and docs for this
3476 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3477 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3478 - adjusted tests for this
3480 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3481 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3482 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
3483 * Moose::Meta::Class
3484 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
3485 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
3486 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3487 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
3488 the other side (perigrin)
3490 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3492 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3493 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3494 prototypes for functions
3495 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3496 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3497 - added tests and docs for this
3498 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3499 default for where be { 1 }

3503 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3504 merlyn for finding this bug
3505 - tests added for this
3506 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3509 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3510 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3511 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3512 - added tests for this
3514 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3516 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3529 where not handled correctly in roles
3530 - added tests for this
3532 * Moose::Meta::Class
3533 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3534 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3535 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3537 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3538 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

3541 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3542 so this release is just to fix that.
3545 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3546 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3547 (thanks to konobi for this)
3548 - added tests and docs
3550 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3558 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3559 functions to facilitate introspection.
3561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3562 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3563 to build the list of delegated methods
3564 correctly (and not override important
3565 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3567 - added tests and docs for this
3568 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3569 so that you can actually document your
3570 attributes and inspect them through the
3572 - added tests and docs for this
3574 * Moose::Meta::Class
3575 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3576 it will first look in for the class in the
3577 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3578 then default to just loading $name.
3579 - added tests and docs for this
3581 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3582 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3583 - added test for this
3586 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3587 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3588 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3589 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3591 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3592 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3595 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3597 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3598 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3599 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3602 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3603 !! for this developer release to work !!
3605 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3606 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3607 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3608 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3609 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3610 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3611 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3612 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3613 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3614 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3615 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3617 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3618 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3619 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3620 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3623 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3624 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3625 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3626 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3627 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3629 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3631 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3632 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3635 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3636 called unless they actually need to be.
3637 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3638 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3639 DEMOLISH method present.
3641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3642 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3643 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3644 type constraint, which allows for a
3645 hand optimized version of the type
3646 constraint to be used when possible.
3647 - Any internally created type constraints
3648 now provide an optimized version as well.
3650 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3652 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3653 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3654 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3656 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3657 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3658 your class namespace of these exported
3661 * Moose::Meta::Class
3662 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3663 comes up during global destruction
3665 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3669 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3673 - changed how we do type checks so that
3674 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3677 - moved accessor generation methods to
3678 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3679 conform to the API changes from
3682 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3683 - changed how constraints are compiled
3684 so that we do less recursion and more
3685 iteration. This makes the type check
3687 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3691 - created this from methods formerly found in
3692 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3694 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3695 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3697 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3698 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3700 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3701 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3703 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3705 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3706 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3707 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3708 - added tests for this
3709 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3710 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3711 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3712 - removed tests for this
3714 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3716 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3717 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3718 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3721 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3722 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3723 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3725 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3726 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3727 comments for more info.
3730 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3731 asked questions and common problems
3733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3734 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3735 - added tests for this
3737 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3738 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3739 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3740 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3742 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3743 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3746 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3747 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3748 is much appreciated :)
3749 - added tests for this
3751 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3752 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3753 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3756 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3757 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3759 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3761 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3762 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3766 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3767 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3768 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3770 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3772 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3775 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3776 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3777 keywords because we need to localize them.
3778 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3780 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3781 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3782 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3785 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3788 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3789 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3790 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3793 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3794 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3795 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3797 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3799 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3800 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3801 bottom of your class file.
3804 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3807 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3809 - improved error message when loading modules so
3810 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3811 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3812 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3815 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3816 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3817 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3819 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3820 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3822 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3823 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3824 turn them on for you.
3825 - added tests for this
3826 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3827 in Moose::Meta::Class

3854 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3855 - This release works in combination with
3856 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3857 release because it uses the a new
3858 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3859 complete Role implementation. It has
3860 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3861 the the previous CPAN version. This
3862 release also lacks good updated docs,
3863 the official release will have updated docs.
3866 - refactored the keyword exports
3867 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3868 accepts more than one Role at a time

3874 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3875 accepts more than one Role at a time
3877 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3878 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3879 string enumerations which can be used as
3881 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3884 - more careful checking of params to new()
3887 - much work done on the role composition
3888 - many new tests for conflict detection
3889 and composition edge cases
3890 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3891 looking at the tests
3893 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3894 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3895 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3897 * Moose::Meta::Class

3905 - some small changes to support the new
3907 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3908 with the 'handles' option

3914 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3915 thanks to chansen for this commit
3916 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3917 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3918 on a per-attribute basis
3919 - added tests for this
3920 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3921 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3922 experimental feature and probably not finished

3924 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3925 - added tests for this
