1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0800 Wed, Mar 27, 2013
10 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
11 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
13 * Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
14 without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
18 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
19 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
20 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
22 * Fix memory leak in type unions. (Karen Etheridge) RT#83929.
24 * Fix application of traits at compile time. (doy) RT#77974.
26 2.0604 Wed, Sep 19, 2012
30 * Fix nonsensical error message for inlined accessors of required attributes.
33 * Stop trying to localize a lexical (blead now throws an error for this). RT
34 #79257, perl #114628. (sprout)
38 * Depend on a version of Carp new enough to have caller_info. RT #79367.
41 2.0603 Thu, Jun 28, 2012
45 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
47 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
51 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
52 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
53 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
54 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
55 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
57 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
61 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
62 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
63 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
65 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
69 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
71 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
75 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
76 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
77 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
80 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
82 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
86 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
88 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
92 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
93 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
97 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
98 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
99 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
100 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
101 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
106 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
107 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
108 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
109 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
111 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
112 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
113 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
115 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
116 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
117 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
118 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
120 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
121 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
122 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
123 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
125 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
126 package which was deleted. (doy)
128 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
132 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
134 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
138 * Minor documentation fixes.
140 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
141 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
143 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
147 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
148 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
150 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
154 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
156 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
160 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
162 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
165 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
169 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
171 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
172 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
176 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
177 more values were required. (rjbs)
179 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
183 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
184 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
188 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
189 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
190 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
191 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
193 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
194 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
195 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
197 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
198 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
201 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
202 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
203 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
204 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
208 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
209 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
210 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
211 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
214 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
218 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
219 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
220 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
222 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
223 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
224 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
226 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
227 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
228 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
230 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
231 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
234 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
235 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
236 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
238 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
239 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
242 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
243 the associated stash. (doy)
247 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
248 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
249 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
250 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
252 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
256 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
257 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
258 the attribute's reference.
262 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
263 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
268 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
269 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
270 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
273 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
274 the Object constraint).
276 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
280 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
281 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
286 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
288 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
292 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
295 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
297 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
301 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
303 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
307 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
310 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
311 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
312 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
314 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
317 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
321 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
323 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
327 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
329 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
333 * Include changes from 2.0010.
335 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
339 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
340 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
344 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
345 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
346 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
351 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
353 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
357 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
358 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
360 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
364 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
366 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
370 * Various packaging issues.
372 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
376 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
377 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
382 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
383 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
384 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
388 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
389 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
390 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
392 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
396 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
397 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
399 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
403 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
404 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
406 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
409 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
410 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
414 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
415 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
417 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
421 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
422 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
426 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
428 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
432 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
434 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
438 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
439 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
441 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
445 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
447 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
451 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
453 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
454 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
456 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
460 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
461 skips every other role. (rjbs)
463 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
464 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
465 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
466 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
467 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
469 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
473 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
474 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
475 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
478 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
483 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
485 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
486 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
488 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
492 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
493 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
494 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
498 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
499 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
501 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
502 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
504 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
505 environments. (doy, mateu)
507 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
511 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
512 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
513 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
514 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
518 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
519 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
521 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
525 * Update conflicts list.
528 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
532 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
533 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
534 details. (Dave Rolsky)
536 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
537 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
538 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
539 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
540 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
544 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
545 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
546 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
547 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
548 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
551 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
555 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
556 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
558 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
561 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
565 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
566 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
567 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
568 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
570 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
571 immutable classes). (mo)
573 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
574 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
575 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
577 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
581 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
583 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
585 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
589 * Fix some indexing issues.
591 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
593 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
597 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
598 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
599 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
600 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
601 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
603 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
604 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
609 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
610 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
611 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
612 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
614 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
615 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
616 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
620 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
621 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
624 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
628 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
629 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
633 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
637 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
638 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
639 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
640 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
643 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
647 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
650 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
654 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
655 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
656 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
659 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
663 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
664 policy. (Chris Prather)
666 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
667 on this new support policy. (doy)
671 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
672 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
673 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
675 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
676 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
678 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
682 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
683 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
684 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
685 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
688 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
692 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
693 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
696 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
700 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
701 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
703 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
704 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
708 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
709 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
710 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
711 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
712 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
713 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
715 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
716 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
718 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
719 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
720 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
721 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
723 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
724 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
726 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
731 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
732 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
734 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
738 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
739 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
740 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
742 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
746 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
747 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
748 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
750 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
751 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
754 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
755 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
758 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
759 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
760 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
762 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
763 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
768 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
769 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
770 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
771 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
773 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
774 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
776 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
777 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
779 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
780 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
781 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
782 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
784 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
785 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
786 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
789 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
790 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
791 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
792 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
794 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
795 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
798 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
799 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
800 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
802 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
806 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
807 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
808 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
810 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
811 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
812 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
815 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
816 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
817 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
819 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
820 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
821 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
823 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
824 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
828 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
829 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
830 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
832 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
833 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
834 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
835 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
837 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
841 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
842 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
843 value is a reference.
845 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
846 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
848 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
852 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
853 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
854 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
856 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
860 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
861 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
865 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
866 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
867 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
869 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
870 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
871 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
873 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
877 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
879 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
883 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
885 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
886 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
891 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
892 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
894 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
895 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
896 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
897 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
898 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
900 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
901 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
902 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
903 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
905 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
909 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
910 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
915 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
917 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
919 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
924 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
926 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
930 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
931 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
932 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
934 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
935 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
936 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
937 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
939 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
940 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
941 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
942 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
943 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
946 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
951 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
952 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
953 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
954 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
955 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
958 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
962 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
965 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
966 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
970 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
971 function (not just method). (doy)
975 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
976 and aren't easily installable/testable.
978 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
982 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
983 to be overridden more easily (doy).
985 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
989 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
990 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
992 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
996 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
997 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
998 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
1000 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
1004 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
1005 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
1006 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
1008 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
1009 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
1013 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
1014 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
1016 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
1017 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
1021 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
1022 is applied to a class (t0m).
1024 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
1025 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1027 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1030 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1031 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1033 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1034 be much more robust. (doy)
1036 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1038 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1041 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1045 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1046 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1048 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1052 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1053 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1055 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1058 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1059 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1060 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1062 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1063 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1064 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1067 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1069 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1073 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1074 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1078 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1080 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1085 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1089 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1090 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1094 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1096 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1100 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1101 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1105 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1106 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1110 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1111 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1113 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1117 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1118 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1119 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1122 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1126 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1127 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1128 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1129 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1131 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1135 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1136 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1137 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1141 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1142 (Michael G. Schwern)
1144 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1148 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1149 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1150 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1154 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1155 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1157 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1158 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1159 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1160 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1162 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1166 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1170 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1171 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1173 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1174 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1175 - Moose::Util::does_role
1176 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1177 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1178 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1180 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1184 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1185 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1186 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1193 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1194 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1197 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1201 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1202 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1205 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1209 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1211 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1212 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1214 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1215 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1216 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1218 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1219 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1220 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1223 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1224 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1226 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1227 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1228 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1230 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1232 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1233 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1235 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1237 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1240 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1241 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1243 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1244 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1246 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1247 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1248 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1249 dependencies installed.
1251 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1252 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1255 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1257 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1261 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1263 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1264 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1265 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1268 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1269 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1271 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1272 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1275 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1276 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1277 others. (nothingmuch)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1280 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1281 remove_accessors. (doy)
1283 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1284 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1285 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1288 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1290 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1291 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1292 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1293 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1295 * Moose::Meta::Class
1296 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1297 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1299 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1300 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1302 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1304 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1305 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1309 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1310 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1311 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1312 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1314 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1317 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1318 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1319 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1320 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1323 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1324 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1325 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1326 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1327 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1329 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1330 which were not receiving the value of
1331 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1332 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1333 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1334 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1338 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1339 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1340 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1341 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1342 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1345 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1346 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1347 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1348 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1350 * Moose::Meta::Class
1351 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1352 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1353 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1356 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1357 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1358 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1360 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1361 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1362 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1365 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1366 class if you pass it options for
1367 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1368 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1369 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1370 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1371 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1372 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1373 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1374 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1375 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1377 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1378 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1379 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1380 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1381 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1384 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1385 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1386 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1387 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1389 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1390 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1391 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1392 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1393 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1394 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1397 * Moose::Error::Croak
1398 * Moose::Error::Confess
1399 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1400 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1403 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1406 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1407 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1408 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Class
1411 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1414 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1415 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1416 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1418 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1419 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1420 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1421 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1422 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1424 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1425 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1428 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1430 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1431 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1434 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1435 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1437 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1438 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1439 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1440 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1442 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1443 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1444 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1445 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1446 using it for new code!
1448 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1449 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1450 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1451 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1453 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1454 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1455 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1456 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1457 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1458 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1459 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1460 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1463 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1466 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1467 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1470 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1471 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1473 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1474 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1475 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1477 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1478 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1479 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1480 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1482 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1483 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1484 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1486 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1487 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1488 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1491 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1493 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1494 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1495 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1496 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1498 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1500 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1503 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1504 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1505 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1507 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1508 associated_methods. (hdp)
1509 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1510 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1511 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1512 misspelled) arguments
1514 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1515 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1516 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1517 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1519 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1520 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1521 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1523 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1526 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1527 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1528 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1531 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1532 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1534 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1535 * Moose::Meta::Class
1536 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1537 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1539 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1540 * Moose::Manual::Types
1541 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1542 string parsing rathole (mst)
1544 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1545 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1546 using plain objects instead
1548 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1549 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1550 that's what we need.
1552 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1553 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1554 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1555 three times today (perigrin)
1556 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1557 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1559 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1560 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1561 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1562 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1565 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1566 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1567 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1568 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1569 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1570 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1573 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1574 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1575 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1576 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1579 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1581 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1584 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1586 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1589 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1590 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1591 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1595 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1596 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1599 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1600 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1602 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1603 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1604 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1606 * Moose::Unsweetened
1607 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1609 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1610 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1613 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1617 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1618 methods during global destruction (doy)
1620 * Moose::Meta::Class
1621 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1622 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1623 consumption (Sartak)
1625 * Moose::Meta::Class
1626 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1627 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1630 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1631 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1634 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1635 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1637 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1639 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1643 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1644 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1645 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1648 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1649 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1650 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1653 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1655 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1656 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1657 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1660 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1661 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1662 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1663 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1665 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1666 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1667 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1670 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1673 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1674 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1675 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1679 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1680 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1682 * Moose::Meta::Class
1683 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1685 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1687 * Moose::Meta::Class
1688 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1689 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1692 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1693 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1696 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1697 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1700 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1703 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1705 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1706 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1709 * Moose::Meta::Class
1710 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1712 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1713 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1716 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1717 * More deprecations and renamings
1718 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1719 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1720 when an object is constructed)
1723 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1724 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1725 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1728 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1729 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1730 feature, and it works again.
1733 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1735 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1737 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1738 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1739 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1741 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1742 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1743 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1744 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1745 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1747 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1748 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1749 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1750 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1751 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1754 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1755 metaclass object. (hdp)
1757 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1758 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1759 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1760 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1761 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1762 point out this fact. (hdp)
1764 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1765 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1768 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1770 * Moose::Meta::Class
1771 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1772 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1773 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1774 called during instance construction were passed the
1775 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1776 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1778 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1779 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1782 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1783 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1784 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1787 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1788 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1789 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1790 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1791 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1793 - Moose::Meta::Class
1794 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1796 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1797 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1798 when an object is constructed)
1799 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1801 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1802 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1803 when an object is constructed)
1804 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1805 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1806 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1809 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1811 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1812 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1814 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1816 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1817 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1818 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1820 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1821 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1822 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1824 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1826 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1827 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1829 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1830 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1833 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1834 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1837 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1838 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1839 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1841 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1842 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1846 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1847 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1848 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1850 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1851 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1854 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1855 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1856 with recommended workarounds.
1858 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1859 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1861 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1862 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1863 (yes, spelled like that).
1865 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1866 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1868 * Moose::Meta::Class
1869 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1870 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1872 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1874 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1875 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1876 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1877 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1878 instead. Reported by doy.
1880 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1882 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1883 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1885 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1886 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1887 message) is now deprecated.
1888 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1889 often got it wrong. For example:
1891 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1893 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1897 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1898 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1899 bite you in weird cases.
1901 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1902 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1903 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1904 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1906 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1907 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1911 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1914 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1915 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1918 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1919 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1921 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1922 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1925 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1926 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1927 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1928 - added tests for this (stevan)
1930 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1931 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1932 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1933 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1937 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1938 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1939 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1940 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1942 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1943 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1944 - added tests for this (rafl)
1946 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1947 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1948 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1949 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1953 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1954 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1957 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1958 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1959 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1961 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1963 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1964 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1966 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1967 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1968 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1969 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1970 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1972 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1973 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1974 error message did not specify the attribute name
1977 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1979 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1981 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1982 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1983 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1985 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1986 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1989 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1991 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1992 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1993 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1994 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1996 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1998 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1999 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
2000 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
2001 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
2003 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2004 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
2005 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
2007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2008 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
2009 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
2010 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
2011 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
2013 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2014 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
2015 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
2016 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
2017 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
2019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2020 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
2021 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
2022 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
2023 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
2024 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
2026 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2027 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2028 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2029 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2030 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2031 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2033 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2034 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2036 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2037 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2038 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2039 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2042 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2045 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2049 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2050 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2052 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2053 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2054 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2055 guts. (nothingmuch).
2057 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2058 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2059 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2062 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2063 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2064 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2066 * Moose::Meta::Class
2067 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2070 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2071 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2073 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2074 * Moose::Unsweetened
2075 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2078 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2079 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2080 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2081 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2082 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2083 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2085 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2086 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2087 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2088 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2089 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2090 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2091 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2092 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2093 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2094 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2096 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2098 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2099 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2102 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2103 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2104 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2106 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2107 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2108 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2109 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2110 same methods for a single role did not work
2111 right (worked just fine with multiple
2113 - added test for this (stevan)
2115 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2116 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2117 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2120 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2121 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2122 - added test for this (t0m)
2125 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2126 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2127 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2130 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2131 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2132 - added test for this (t0m)
2134 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2135 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2136 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2137 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2138 - added test for this (perigrin)
2141 - create method for constructing a role
2142 dynamically (Sartak)
2143 - added test for this (Sartak)
2144 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2145 - added test for this (Sartak)
2148 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2150 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2151 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2152 methods is useful (Sartak)
2154 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2156 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2159 * Moose::Meta::Class
2160 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2161 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2162 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2163 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2164 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2165 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2168 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2169 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2171 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2172 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2173 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2174 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2175 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2177 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2179 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2180 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2181 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2184 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2185 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2186 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2187 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2188 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2189 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2192 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2193 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2194 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2195 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2196 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2197 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2198 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2199 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2200 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2201 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2202 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2204 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2205 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2209 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2210 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2211 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2212 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2214 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2216 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2217 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2218 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2220 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2221 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2223 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2224 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2225 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2226 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2229 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2230 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2232 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2234 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2235 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2237 * Moose::Meta::Class
2238 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2239 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2240 a required attribute
2242 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2244 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2245 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2247 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2248 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2251 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2252 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2253 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2254 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2255 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2256 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2257 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2259 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2260 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2261 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2263 * Roles and role application
2264 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2265 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2266 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2267 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2268 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2270 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2271 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2274 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2275 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2276 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2277 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2278 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2281 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2282 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2283 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2284 changes in the Moose internals.
2286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2288 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2291 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2292 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2293 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2294 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2297 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2298 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2299 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2301 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2302 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2303 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2304 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2305 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2306 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2307 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2308 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2309 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2310 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2311 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2312 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2313 constraint implementations.
2315 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2319 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2320 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2321 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2322 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2323 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2324 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2325 - added tests for this (rafl)
2327 * Moose::Meta::Class
2328 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2329 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2330 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2331 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2332 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2333 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2334 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2335 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2338 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2339 - added tests for this (thepler)
2341 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2342 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2343 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2344 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2347 * Moose::Meta::Class
2348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2349 * Moose::Meta::Method
2352 * Moose::Error::Default
2353 * Moose::Error::Croak
2354 * Moose::Error::Confess
2355 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2356 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2357 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2358 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2359 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2360 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2362 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2364 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2365 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2367 * Moose::Unsweetened
2368 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2369 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2370 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2372 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2373 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2374 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2375 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2376 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2379 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2380 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2382 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2383 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2384 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2385 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2388 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2390 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2391 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2393 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2396 - Various bug fixes.
2398 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2399 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2401 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2403 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2404 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2405 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2406 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2407 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2408 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2410 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2411 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2412 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2414 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2415 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2416 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2419 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2420 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2421 dependency to 0.64_07.
2423 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2424 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2425 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2427 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2428 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2431 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2432 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2433 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2434 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2435 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2436 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2438 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2439 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2441 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2443 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2444 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2448 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2449 method when that method was provided by another role being
2450 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2451 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2453 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2455 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2456 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2459 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2460 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2461 - added test for this (t0m)
2463 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2464 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2465 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2467 - added test for this (t0m)
2470 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2471 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2472 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2475 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2476 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2478 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2480 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2481 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2483 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2484 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2485 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2487 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2488 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2491 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2492 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2493 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2494 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2498 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2499 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2500 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2503 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2504 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2505 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2506 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2509 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2513 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2514 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2515 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2517 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2519 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2520 created so that the process can be more easily
2521 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2523 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2524 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2525 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2526 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2529 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2532 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2533 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2535 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2536 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2537 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2539 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2540 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2541 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2543 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2544 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2546 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2547 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2550 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2551 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2555 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2556 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2558 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2559 ... this is not my day today ...
2561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2562 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2563 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2564 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2565 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2568 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2569 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2570 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2571 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2572 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2575 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2577 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2578 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2579 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2580 this is not ever something you want to do
2581 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2582 - added tests for this (stevan)
2585 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2587 - added test for this
2589 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2590 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2591 - added tests for this (wreis)
2593 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2594 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2595 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2596 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2598 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2599 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2600 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2603 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2605 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2607 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2610 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2611 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2612 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2613 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2614 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2615 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2616 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2617 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2618 - added tests for this
2620 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2621 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2622 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2623 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2625 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2628 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2629 - added tests for this (sartak)
2630 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2631 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2634 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2636 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2637 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2639 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2641 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2642 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2644 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2646 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2647 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2650 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2651 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2652 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2654 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2655 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2656 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2658 - added docs for this (TODO).
2659 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2660 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2661 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2662 - fix builder and default both being used
2667 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2669 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2670 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2671 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2675 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2679 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2680 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2681 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2683 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2684 - move the ClassName type check code to
2685 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2687 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2688 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2690 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2691 (early morning release engineering)--
2693 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2694 which was causing the indexer to choke
2696 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2697 (late night release engineering)--
2699 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2700 changes in this release
2702 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2703 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2704 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2706 * Moose::Meta::Class
2707 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2708 since it is called so often by &meta
2710 * Moose::Meta::Class
2712 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2713 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2716 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2717 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2718 method for immutablization to check if the
2719 destructor object even needs to be created
2722 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2723 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2724 - added more descriptive error message to help
2725 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2726 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2728 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2730 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2731 XS based functionality is now optional
2732 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2733 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2734 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2736 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2737 to take care of this, mostly we added
2738 support for the package_name and name
2739 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2740 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2741 support regexp matching of names
2742 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2743 - tests added for this
2744 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2745 is currently not supported in roles,
2746 but, ... patches welcome
2747 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2748 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2749 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2752 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2753 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2754 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2755 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2756 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2757 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2758 - added test for this
2760 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2761 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2762 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2765 * Moose::Meta::Class
2766 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2770 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2772 - added tests for this
2773 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2774 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2777 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2778 themselves parameterizable types
2780 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2781 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2782 called by the inlined immutable
2784 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2786 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance

2837 drink more coffee before
2838 doing release engineering
2840 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2955 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2957 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2958 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

3001 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
3002 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3295 when they encounter overriden or modified
3296 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3297 - added tests for this
3299 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3300 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3301 the | always creates a union and so is

3303 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3305 - added more tests for this
3307 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3310 * Parameterized Types
3311 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3312 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3313 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3314 They can also be nested:
3315 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3316 And work with the type unions as well:
3317 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3319 * Better Framework Extendability
3320 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3321 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3322 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3323 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3326 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3327 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3328 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3329 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3472 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3473 - adjusted tests for this
3475 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3476 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3477 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
3478 * Moose::Meta::Class
3479 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
3480 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
3481 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3482 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
3483 the other side (perigrin)
3485 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3487 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3488 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3489 prototypes for functions
3490 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3491 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3492 - added tests and docs for this
3493 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3494 default for where be { 1 }

3498 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3499 merlyn for finding this bug
3500 - tests added for this
3501 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3504 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3505 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3506 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3507 - added tests for this
3509 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3511 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3524 where not handled correctly in roles
3525 - added tests for this
3527 * Moose::Meta::Class
3528 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3529 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3530 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3532 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3533 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)

3537 so this release is just to fix that.
3540 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3541 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3542 (thanks to konobi for this)
3543 - added tests and docs

3553 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3554 functions to facilitate introspection.
3556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3557 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3558 to build the list of delegated methods
3559 correctly (and not override important
3560 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3562 - added tests and docs for this
3563 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3564 so that you can actually document your
3565 attributes and inspect them through the
3567 - added tests and docs for this
3569 * Moose::Meta::Class
3570 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3571 it will first look in for the class in the
3572 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3573 then default to just loading $name.
3574 - added tests and docs for this
3576 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3577 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3578 - added test for this
3581 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3582 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3583 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3584 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3586 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3587 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3590 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3592 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3593 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3594 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3597 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3598 !! for this developer release to work !!
3600 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3601 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3602 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3603 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3604 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3605 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3606 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3607 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3608 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3609 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3610 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3612 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3613 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3614 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3615 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3618 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3620 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3621 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3622 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3624 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3626 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3627 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3630 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3631 called unless they actually need to be.
3632 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3633 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3634 DEMOLISH method present.
3636 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3637 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3638 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3639 type constraint, which allows for a
3640 hand optimized version of the type
3641 constraint to be used when possible.
3642 - Any internally created type constraints
3643 now provide an optimized version as well.
3645 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3647 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3648 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3649 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3651 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3652 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3653 your class namespace of these exported
3656 * Moose::Meta::Class
3657 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3658 comes up during global destruction
3660 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3664 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3667 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3668 - changed how we do type checks so that
3669 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3672 - moved accessor generation methods to
3673 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3674 conform to the API changes from
3677 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3678 - changed how constraints are compiled
3679 so that we do less recursion and more
3680 iteration. This makes the type check
3682 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3686 - created this from methods formerly found in
3687 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3689 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3690 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3693 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3695 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3696 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

3700 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3701 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3702 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3703 - added tests for this
3704 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3705 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3706 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3707 - removed tests for this
3709 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3711 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3712 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3713 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3716 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3717 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3718 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3720 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3721 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3722 comments for more info.
3725 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3726 asked questions and common problems
3728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3729 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3730 - added tests for this
3732 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3733 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3734 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3735 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3737 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3738 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3741 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3742 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3743 is much appreciated :)
3744 - added tests for this
3746 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3747 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3748 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3751 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3752 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3754 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3756 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3757 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3761 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3762 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3763 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3765 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3767 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3770 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3771 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3772 keywords because we need to localize them.
3773 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3775 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3776 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3777 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3780 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3783 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3784 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3785 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3788 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3789 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3790 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3792 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3794 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3795 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3796 bottom of your class file.
3799 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3802 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3804 - improved error message when loading modules so
3805 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3806 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3807 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3810 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3811 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3812 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3814 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3815 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3817 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3818 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3819 turn them on for you.
3820 - added tests for this

3849 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3850 - This release works in combination with
3851 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3852 release because it uses the a new
3853 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3854 complete Role implementation. It has
3855 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3856 the the previous CPAN version. This
3857 release also lacks good updated docs,
3858 the official release will have updated docs.
3861 - refactored the keyword exports
3862 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3863 accepts more than one Role at a time

3874 string enumerations which can be used as
3876 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3879 - more careful checking of params to new()
3882 - much work done on the role composition
3883 - many new tests for conflict detection
3884 and composition edge cases
3885 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3886 looking at the tests
3888 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3889 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3890 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3911 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3912 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3913 on a per-attribute basis
3914 - added tests for this
