1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
10 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
14 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
15 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
16 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
17 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
18 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
20 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
24 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
25 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
26 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
28 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
32 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
34 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
38 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
39 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
40 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
43 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
45 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
49 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
51 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
55 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
56 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
60 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
61 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
62 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
63 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
64 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
69 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
70 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
71 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
72 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
74 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
75 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
76 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
78 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
79 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
80 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
81 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
83 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
84 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
85 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
86 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
88 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
89 package which was deleted. (doy)
91 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
95 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
97 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
101 * Minor documentation fixes.
103 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
104 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
106 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
110 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
111 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
113 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
117 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
119 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
123 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
125 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
128 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
132 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
134 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
135 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
139 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
140 more values were required. (rjbs)
142 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
146 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
147 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
151 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
152 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
153 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
154 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
156 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
157 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
158 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
160 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
161 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
164 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
165 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
166 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
167 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
171 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
172 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
173 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
174 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
177 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
181 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
182 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
183 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
185 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
186 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
187 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
189 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
190 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
191 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
193 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
194 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
197 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
198 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
199 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
201 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
202 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
205 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
206 the associated stash. (doy)
210 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
211 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
212 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
213 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
215 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
219 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
220 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
221 the attribute's reference.
225 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
226 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
231 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
232 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
233 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
236 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
237 the Object constraint).
239 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
243 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
244 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
249 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
251 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
255 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
258 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
260 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
264 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
266 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
270 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
273 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
274 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
275 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
277 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
280 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
284 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
286 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
290 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
292 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
296 * Include changes from 2.0010.
298 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
302 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
303 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
307 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
308 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
309 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
314 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
316 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
320 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
321 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
323 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
327 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
329 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
333 * Various packaging issues.
335 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
339 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
340 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
345 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
346 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
347 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
351 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
352 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
353 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
355 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
359 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
360 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
362 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
366 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
367 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
369 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
372 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
373 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
377 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
378 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
380 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
384 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
385 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
389 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
391 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
395 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
397 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
401 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
402 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
404 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
408 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
410 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
414 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
416 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
417 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
419 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
423 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
424 skips every other role. (rjbs)
426 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
427 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
428 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
429 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
430 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
432 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
436 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
437 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
438 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
441 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
446 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
448 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
449 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
451 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
455 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
456 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
457 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
461 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
462 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
464 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
465 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
467 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
468 environments. (doy, mateu)
470 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
474 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
475 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
476 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
477 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
481 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
482 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
484 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
488 * Update conflicts list.
491 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
495 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
496 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
497 details. (Dave Rolsky)
499 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
500 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
501 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
502 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
503 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
507 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
508 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
509 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
510 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
511 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
514 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
518 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
519 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
521 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
524 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
528 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
529 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
530 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
531 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
533 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
534 immutable classes). (mo)
536 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
537 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
538 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
540 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
544 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
546 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
548 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
552 * Fix some indexing issues.
554 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
556 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
560 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
561 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
562 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
563 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
564 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
566 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
567 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
572 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
573 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
574 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
575 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
577 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
578 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
579 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
583 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
584 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
587 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
591 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
592 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
596 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
600 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
601 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
602 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
603 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
606 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
610 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
613 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
617 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
618 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
619 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
622 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
626 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
627 policy. (Chris Prather)
629 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
630 on this new support policy. (doy)
634 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
635 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
636 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
638 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
639 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
641 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
645 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
646 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
647 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
648 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
651 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
655 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
656 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
659 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
663 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
664 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
666 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
667 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
671 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
672 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
673 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
674 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
675 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
676 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
678 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
679 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
681 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
682 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
683 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
684 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
686 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
687 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
689 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
694 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
695 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
697 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
701 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
702 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
703 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
705 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
709 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
710 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
711 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
713 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
714 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
717 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
718 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
721 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
722 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
723 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
725 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
726 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
731 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
732 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
733 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
734 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
736 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
737 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
739 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
740 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
742 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
743 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
744 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
745 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
747 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
748 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
749 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
752 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
753 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
754 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
755 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
757 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
758 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
761 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
762 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
763 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
765 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
769 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
770 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
771 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
773 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
774 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
775 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
778 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
779 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
780 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
782 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
783 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
784 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
786 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
787 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
791 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
792 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
793 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
795 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
796 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
797 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
798 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
800 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
804 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
805 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
806 value is a reference.
808 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
809 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
811 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
815 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
816 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
817 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
819 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
823 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
824 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
828 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
829 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
830 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
832 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
833 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
834 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
836 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
840 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
842 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
846 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
848 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
849 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
854 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
855 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
857 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
858 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
859 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
860 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
861 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
863 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
864 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
865 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
866 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
868 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
872 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
873 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
878 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
880 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
882 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
887 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
889 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
893 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
894 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
895 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
897 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
898 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
899 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
900 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
902 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
903 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
904 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
905 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
906 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
909 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
914 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
915 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
916 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
917 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
918 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
921 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
925 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
928 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
929 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
933 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
934 function (not just method). (doy)
938 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
939 and aren't easily installable/testable.
941 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
945 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
946 to be overridden more easily (doy).
948 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
952 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
953 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
955 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
959 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
960 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
961 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
963 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
967 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
968 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
969 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
971 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
972 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
976 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
977 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
979 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
980 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
984 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
985 is applied to a class (t0m).
987 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
988 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
990 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
993 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
994 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
996 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
997 be much more robust. (doy)
999 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1001 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1004 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1008 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1009 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1011 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1015 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1016 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1018 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1021 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1022 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1023 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1025 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1026 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1027 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1030 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1032 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1036 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1037 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1041 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1043 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1047 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1048 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1052 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1053 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1057 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1059 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1063 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1064 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1068 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1069 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1073 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1074 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1076 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1080 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1081 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1082 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1085 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1089 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1090 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1091 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1092 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1094 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1098 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1099 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1100 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1104 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1105 (Michael G. Schwern)
1107 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1111 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1112 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1113 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1117 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1118 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1120 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1121 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1122 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1123 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1125 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1129 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1133 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1134 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1136 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1137 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1138 - Moose::Util::does_role
1139 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1140 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1141 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1143 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1147 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1148 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1149 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1152 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1156 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1157 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1160 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1164 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1165 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1168 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1172 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1174 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1175 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1177 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1178 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1179 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1181 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1182 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1183 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1186 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1187 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1190 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1191 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1193 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1195 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1196 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1198 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1200 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1203 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1204 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1206 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1207 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1209 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1210 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1211 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1212 dependencies installed.
1214 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1215 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1218 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1220 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1224 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1227 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1228 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1231 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1232 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1234 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1235 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1238 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1239 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1240 others. (nothingmuch)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1243 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1244 remove_accessors. (doy)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1247 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1248 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1251 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1253 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1255 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1256 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1258 * Moose::Meta::Class
1259 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1260 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1263 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1265 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1267 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1268 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1271 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1272 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1273 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1274 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1275 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1277 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1280 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1281 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1282 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1283 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1286 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1287 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1288 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1289 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1290 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1292 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1293 which were not receiving the value of
1294 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1295 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1296 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1297 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1301 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1302 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1303 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1304 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1305 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1309 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1310 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1311 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1313 * Moose::Meta::Class
1314 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1315 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1316 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1319 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1321 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1324 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1325 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1328 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1329 class if you pass it options for
1330 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1331 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1332 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1333 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1334 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1335 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1336 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1337 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1338 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1340 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1341 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1342 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1343 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1344 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1347 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1349 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1350 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1352 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1353 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1354 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1355 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1356 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1357 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1360 * Moose::Error::Croak
1361 * Moose::Error::Confess
1362 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1363 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1366 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1369 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1370 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1371 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1373 * Moose::Meta::Class
1374 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1377 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1378 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1379 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1381 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1382 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1383 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1384 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1385 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1387 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1388 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1391 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1393 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1394 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1397 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1398 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1400 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1401 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1402 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1403 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1406 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1407 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1408 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1409 using it for new code!
1411 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1412 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1413 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1414 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1416 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1417 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1418 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1419 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1420 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1421 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1422 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1423 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1426 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1429 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1430 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1434 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1436 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1437 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1438 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1440 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1441 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1442 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1443 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1445 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1446 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1447 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1450 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1451 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1454 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1456 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1457 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1458 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1459 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1461 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1463 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1466 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1467 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1468 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1470 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1471 associated_methods. (hdp)
1472 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1473 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1474 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1475 misspelled) arguments
1477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1478 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1479 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1480 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1482 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1484 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1486 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1489 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1490 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1491 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1494 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1495 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1497 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1498 * Moose::Meta::Class
1499 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1500 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1502 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1503 * Moose::Manual::Types
1504 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1505 string parsing rathole (mst)
1507 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1508 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1509 using plain objects instead
1511 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1512 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1513 that's what we need.
1515 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1516 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1517 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1518 three times today (perigrin)
1519 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1520 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1523 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1524 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1525 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1528 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1529 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1530 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1531 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1532 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1533 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1536 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1537 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1538 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1539 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1542 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1544 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1547 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1549 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1552 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1553 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1554 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1558 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1559 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1562 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1563 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1565 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1566 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1567 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1569 * Moose::Unsweetened
1570 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1572 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1573 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1576 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1580 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1581 methods during global destruction (doy)
1583 * Moose::Meta::Class
1584 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1585 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1586 consumption (Sartak)
1588 * Moose::Meta::Class
1589 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1590 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1593 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1594 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1597 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1598 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1600 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1602 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1606 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1607 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1608 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1611 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1612 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1613 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1616 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1618 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1619 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1620 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1623 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1624 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1625 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1626 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1628 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1629 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1630 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1633 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1636 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1637 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1638 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1642 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1643 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1645 * Moose::Meta::Class
1646 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1648 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1650 * Moose::Meta::Class
1651 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1652 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1655 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1656 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1659 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1660 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1663 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1666 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1669 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1672 * Moose::Meta::Class
1673 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1676 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1679 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1680 * More deprecations and renamings
1681 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1682 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1683 when an object is constructed)
1686 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1687 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1688 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1690 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1691 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1692 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1693 feature, and it works again.
1696 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1698 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1700 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1701 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1702 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1704 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1705 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1706 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1707 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1708 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1711 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1712 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1713 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1714 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1717 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1718 metaclass object. (hdp)
1720 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1722 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1723 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1724 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1725 point out this fact. (hdp)
1727 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1728 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1730 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1731 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1733 * Moose::Meta::Class
1734 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1735 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1736 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1737 called during instance construction were passed the
1738 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1739 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1741 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1742 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1746 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1747 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1750 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1751 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1752 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1753 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1754 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1756 - Moose::Meta::Class
1757 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1759 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1760 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1761 when an object is constructed)
1762 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1764 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1765 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1766 when an object is constructed)
1767 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1768 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1769 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1772 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1774 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1775 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1777 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1779 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1780 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1781 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1784 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1785 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1787 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1789 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1790 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1792 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1793 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1796 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1797 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1800 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1801 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1802 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1805 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1809 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1810 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1811 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1813 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1814 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1817 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1818 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1819 with recommended workarounds.
1821 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1822 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1824 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1825 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1826 (yes, spelled like that).
1828 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1829 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1831 * Moose::Meta::Class
1832 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1833 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1835 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1837 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1838 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1839 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1840 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1841 instead. Reported by doy.
1843 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1845 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1846 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1848 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1849 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1850 message) is now deprecated.
1851 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1852 often got it wrong. For example:
1854 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1856 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1860 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1861 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1862 bite you in weird cases.
1864 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1865 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1866 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1867 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1870 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1874 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1877 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1878 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1881 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1882 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1885 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1888 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1890 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1891 - added tests for this (stevan)
1893 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1894 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1895 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1896 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1900 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1901 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1902 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1903 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1905 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1906 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1907 - added tests for this (rafl)
1909 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1910 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1911 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1912 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1916 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1917 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1920 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1921 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1922 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1924 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1926 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1927 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1929 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1930 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1931 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1932 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1933 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1936 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1937 error message did not specify the attribute name
1940 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1942 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1944 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1945 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1946 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1948 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1949 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1952 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1954 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1955 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1956 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1957 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1959 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1961 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1962 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1963 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1964 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1967 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1968 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1971 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1972 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1973 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1974 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1976 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1977 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1978 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1979 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1980 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1983 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1984 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1985 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1986 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1987 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1989 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1990 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1991 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1992 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1993 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1994 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1996 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1997 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1999 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2000 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2001 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2002 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2005 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2008 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2012 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2013 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2015 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2016 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2017 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2018 guts. (nothingmuch).
2020 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2021 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2022 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2024 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2025 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2026 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2027 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2029 * Moose::Meta::Class
2030 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2033 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2034 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2036 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2037 * Moose::Unsweetened
2038 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2041 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2042 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2043 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2044 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2045 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2046 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2048 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2049 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2050 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2051 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2052 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2053 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2054 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2055 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2056 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2057 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2059 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2061 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2062 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2064 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2065 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2066 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2067 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2069 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2070 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2071 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2072 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2073 same methods for a single role did not work
2074 right (worked just fine with multiple
2076 - added test for this (stevan)
2078 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2079 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2080 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2083 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2084 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2085 - added test for this (t0m)
2088 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2089 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2090 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2092 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2093 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2094 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2095 - added test for this (t0m)
2097 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2098 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2099 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2100 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2101 - added test for this (perigrin)
2104 - create method for constructing a role
2105 dynamically (Sartak)
2106 - added test for this (Sartak)
2107 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2108 - added test for this (Sartak)
2111 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2113 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2114 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2115 methods is useful (Sartak)
2117 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2119 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2122 * Moose::Meta::Class
2123 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2124 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2125 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2126 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2127 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2128 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2131 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2132 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2134 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2135 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2136 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2137 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2138 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2140 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2142 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2143 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2144 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2147 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2148 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2149 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2150 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2151 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2152 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2155 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2156 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2157 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2158 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2159 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2160 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2161 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2162 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2163 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2164 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2165 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2167 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2168 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2171 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2172 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2173 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2174 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2175 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2177 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2179 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2180 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2181 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2184 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2186 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2187 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2188 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2189 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2192 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2193 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2195 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2197 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2198 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2200 * Moose::Meta::Class
2201 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2202 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2203 a required attribute
2205 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2206 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2207 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2208 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2210 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2211 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2213 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2214 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2215 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2216 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2217 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2218 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2219 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2220 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2222 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2223 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2224 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2226 * Roles and role application
2227 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2228 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2229 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2230 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2231 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2233 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2234 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2237 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2238 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2239 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2240 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2241 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2244 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2245 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2246 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2247 changes in the Moose internals.
2249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2250 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2251 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2255 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2256 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2257 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2259 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2260 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2261 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2262 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2264 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2265 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2266 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2267 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2268 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2269 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2270 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2271 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2272 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2273 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2274 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2275 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2276 constraint implementations.
2278 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2282 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2283 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2284 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2285 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2286 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2287 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2288 - added tests for this (rafl)
2290 * Moose::Meta::Class
2291 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2292 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2293 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2294 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2295 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2296 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2297 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2298 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2301 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2302 - added tests for this (thepler)
2304 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2305 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2306 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2307 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2310 * Moose::Meta::Class
2311 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2312 * Moose::Meta::Method
2315 * Moose::Error::Default
2316 * Moose::Error::Croak
2317 * Moose::Error::Confess
2318 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2319 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2320 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2321 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2322 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2323 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2325 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2327 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2328 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2330 * Moose::Unsweetened
2331 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2332 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2333 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2335 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2336 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2337 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2338 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2339 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2342 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2343 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2345 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2346 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2347 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2348 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2351 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2353 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2354 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2356 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2359 - Various bug fixes.
2361 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2362 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2364 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2366 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2367 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2368 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2369 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2370 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2371 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2373 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2374 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2375 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2377 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2378 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2379 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2382 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2383 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2384 dependency to 0.64_07.
2386 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2387 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2388 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2390 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2391 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2394 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2395 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2396 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2397 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2398 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2399 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2401 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2402 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2404 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2406 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2407 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2411 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2412 method when that method was provided by another role being
2413 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2414 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2416 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2418 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2419 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2422 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2423 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2424 - added test for this (t0m)
2426 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2427 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2428 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2430 - added test for this (t0m)
2433 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2434 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2435 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2438 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2439 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2441 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2443 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2444 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2446 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2447 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2448 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2450 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2451 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2454 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2455 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2456 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2457 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2461 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2462 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2463 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2466 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2467 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2468 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2469 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2472 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2476 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2477 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2478 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2480 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2481 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2482 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2483 created so that the process can be more easily
2484 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2486 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2487 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2488 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2489 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2491 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2492 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2495 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2496 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2498 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2499 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2500 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2502 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2503 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2504 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2506 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2507 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2509 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2510 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2513 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2514 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2518 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2519 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2521 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2522 ... this is not my day today ...
2524 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2525 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2526 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2527 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2528 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2531 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2532 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2533 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2534 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2535 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2538 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2540 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2541 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2542 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2543 this is not ever something you want to do
2544 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2545 - added tests for this (stevan)
2548 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2550 - added test for this
2552 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2553 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2554 - added tests for this (wreis)
2556 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2557 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2558 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2559 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2561 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2562 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2563 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2566 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2568 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2570 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2573 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2574 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2575 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2576 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2577 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2578 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2579 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2580 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2581 - added tests for this
2583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2584 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2585 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2586 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2588 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2590 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2591 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2592 - added tests for this (sartak)
2593 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2594 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2597 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2599 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2600 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2603 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2604 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2605 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2607 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2609 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2610 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2613 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2615 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2617 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2618 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2619 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2621 - added docs for this (TODO).
2622 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2623 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2624 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2625 - fix builder and default both being used
2630 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2632 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2633 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2634 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2638 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2642 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2643 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2644 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2647 - move the ClassName type check code to
2648 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2650 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2651 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2653 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2654 (early morning release engineering)--
2656 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2657 which was causing the indexer to choke
2659 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2660 (late night release engineering)--
2662 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2663 changes in this release
2665 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2666 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2667 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2669 * Moose::Meta::Class
2670 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2671 since it is called so often by &meta
2673 * Moose::Meta::Class
2675 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2676 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2679 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2680 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2681 method for immutablization to check if the
2682 destructor object even needs to be created
2685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2686 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2687 - added more descriptive error message to help
2688 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2689 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2691 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2693 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2694 XS based functionality is now optional
2695 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2696 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2697 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2699 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2700 to take care of this, mostly we added
2701 support for the package_name and name
2702 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2703 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2704 support regexp matching of names
2705 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2706 - tests added for this
2707 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2708 is currently not supported in roles,
2709 but, ... patches welcome
2710 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2711 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2712 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2715 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2716 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2717 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2718 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2719 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2720 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2721 - added test for this
2723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2724 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2725 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2728 * Moose::Meta::Class
2729 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2733 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2735 - added tests for this
2736 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2737 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2740 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2741 themselves parameterizable types
2743 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2744 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2745 called by the inlined immutable
2747 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2749 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2750 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2751 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2752 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2754 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2755 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2759 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2760 causing occasional cpantester failures
2761 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2762 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2764 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2766 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2767 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2770 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2771 ->body when looping through the
2772 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2774 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2775 eating the $@ values, and so not
2776 working correctly, it still kind of
2777 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2778 - added tests for this
2780 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2781 - added new recipe for immutable
2782 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2784 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2785 - added new recipe for builder and
2786 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2788 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11

2800 drink more coffee before
2801 doing release engineering
2803 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2918 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2920 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3259 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3260 - added tests for this

3270 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3273 * Parameterized Types
3274 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3275 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3276 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3277 They can also be nested:
3278 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3279 And work with the type unions as well:
3280 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3282 * Better Framework Extendability
3283 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3284 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3285 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3286 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3289 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3290 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3291 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3292 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3462 merlyn for finding this bug
3463 - tests added for this
3464 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3467 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3468 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3469 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3470 - added tests for this
3472 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3474 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3475 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
3476 - altered unimport tests to handle this
3479 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
3481 * Moose::Meta::Class
3482 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
3483 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
3486 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3487 where not handled correctly in roles
3488 - added tests for this
3490 * Moose::Meta::Class
3491 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3492 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3493 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3495 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3496 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3498 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3499 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3500 so this release is just to fix that.
3503 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3504 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3505 (thanks to konobi for this)
3506 - added tests and docs
3508 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3509 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3511 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3512 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3513 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3514 - added tests for this
3515 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3516 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3517 functions to facilitate introspection.
3519 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3520 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3521 to build the list of delegated methods
3522 correctly (and not override important
3523 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3525 - added tests and docs for this
3526 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3527 so that you can actually document your
3528 attributes and inspect them through the
3530 - added tests and docs for this
3532 * Moose::Meta::Class
3533 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3534 it will first look in for the class in the
3535 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3536 then default to just loading $name.
3537 - added tests and docs for this
3539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3540 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3541 - added test for this
3544 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3545 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3546 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3547 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3549 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3550 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3553 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3555 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3556 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3557 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3560 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3561 !! for this developer release to work !!
3563 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3564 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3565 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3566 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3567 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3568 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3569 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3570 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3571 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3572 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3573 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3575 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3576 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3577 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3578 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3581 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3583 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3584 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3585 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3587 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3589 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3590 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3593 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3594 called unless they actually need to be.
3595 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3596 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3597 DEMOLISH method present.
3599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3600 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3601 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3602 type constraint, which allows for a
3603 hand optimized version of the type
3604 constraint to be used when possible.
3605 - Any internally created type constraints
3606 now provide an optimized version as well.
3608 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3610 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3611 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3612 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3614 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3615 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3616 your class namespace of these exported
3619 * Moose::Meta::Class
3620 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3621 comes up during global destruction
3623 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3627 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3630 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3631 - changed how we do type checks so that
3632 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3635 - moved accessor generation methods to
3636 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3637 conform to the API changes from
3640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3641 - changed how constraints are compiled
3642 so that we do less recursion and more
3643 iteration. This makes the type check
3645 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3648 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3649 - created this from methods formerly found in
3650 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3652 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3653 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3655 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3656 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3658 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3659 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3661 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3663 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3664 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3665 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3666 - added tests for this
3667 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3668 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3669 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3670 - removed tests for this
3672 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3674 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3675 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3676 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3679 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3680 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3681 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3683 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3684 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3685 comments for more info.
3688 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3689 asked questions and common problems
3691 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3692 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3693 - added tests for this
3695 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3696 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3697 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3698 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3700 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3701 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3704 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3705 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3706 is much appreciated :)
3707 - added tests for this
3709 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3710 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3711 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3714 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3715 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3717 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3719 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3720 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3724 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3725 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3726 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3728 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3730 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3733 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3734 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3735 keywords because we need to localize them.
3736 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3738 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3739 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3740 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3743 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3746 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3747 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3748 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3751 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3752 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3753 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3755 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3757 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3758 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3759 bottom of your class file.
3762 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3765 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3767 - improved error message when loading modules so
3768 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3769 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3770 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3773 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3774 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3775 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3777 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3778 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3780 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3781 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3782 turn them on for you.
3783 - added tests for this
3784 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3785 in Moose::Meta::Class

3812 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3813 - This release works in combination with
3814 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3815 release because it uses the a new
3816 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3817 complete Role implementation. It has
3818 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3819 the the previous CPAN version. This
3820 release also lacks good updated docs,
3821 the official release will have updated docs.
3824 - refactored the keyword exports
3825 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3826 accepts more than one Role at a time

3832 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3833 accepts more than one Role at a time
3835 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3837 string enumerations which can be used as
3839 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3842 - more careful checking of params to new()
3845 - much work done on the role composition
3846 - many new tests for conflict detection
3847 and composition edge cases
3848 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3849 looking at the tests
3851 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3852 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3853 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3855 * Moose::Meta::Class

3858 - some small additions to support Roles
3860 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3861 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3863 - some small changes to support the new
3865 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3866 with the 'handles' option
3867 - added several tests for this
3868 - no docs for this yet

3874 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3875 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3876 on a per-attribute basis
3877 - added tests for this
3878 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3879 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3880 experimental feature and probably not finished
