1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
10 2.0500 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
14 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
15 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
19 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
20 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
21 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
22 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
23 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
28 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
29 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
30 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
31 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
33 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
34 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
35 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
37 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
38 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
39 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
40 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
42 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
43 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
44 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
45 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
47 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
48 package which was deleted. (doy)
50 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
54 * Minor documentation fixes.
56 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
59 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
63 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
64 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
66 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
70 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
72 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
76 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
78 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
81 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
85 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
87 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
88 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
92 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
93 more values were required. (rjbs)
95 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
99 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
100 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
104 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
105 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
106 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
107 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
109 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
110 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
111 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
113 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
114 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
117 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
118 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
119 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
120 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
124 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
125 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
126 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
127 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
130 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
134 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
135 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
136 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
138 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
139 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
140 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
142 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
143 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
144 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
146 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
147 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
150 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
151 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
152 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
154 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
155 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
158 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
159 the associated stash. (doy)
163 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
164 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
165 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
166 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
168 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
172 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
173 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
174 the attribute's reference.
178 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
179 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
184 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
185 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
186 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
189 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
190 the Object constraint).
192 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
196 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
197 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
202 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
204 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
208 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
211 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
213 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
217 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
219 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
223 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
226 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
227 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
228 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
230 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
233 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
237 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
239 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
243 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
245 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
249 * Include changes from 2.0010.
251 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
255 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
256 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
260 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
261 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
262 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
267 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
269 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
273 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
274 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
276 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
280 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
282 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
286 * Various packaging issues.
288 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
292 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
293 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
298 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
299 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
300 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
304 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
305 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
306 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
308 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
312 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
313 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
315 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
319 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
320 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
322 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
325 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
326 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
330 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
331 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
333 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
337 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
338 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
342 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
344 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
348 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
350 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
354 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
355 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
357 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
361 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
363 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
367 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
369 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
370 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
372 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
376 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
377 skips every other role. (rjbs)
379 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
380 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
381 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
382 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
383 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
385 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
389 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
390 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
391 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
394 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
399 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
401 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
402 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
404 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
408 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
409 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
410 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
414 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
415 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
417 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
418 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
420 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
421 environments. (doy, mateu)
423 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
427 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
428 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
429 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
430 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
434 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
435 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
437 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
441 * Update conflicts list.
444 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
448 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
449 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
450 details. (Dave Rolsky)
452 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
453 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
454 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
455 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
456 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
460 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
461 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
462 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
463 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
464 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
467 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
471 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
472 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
474 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
477 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
481 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
482 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
483 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
484 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
486 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
487 immutable classes). (mo)
489 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
490 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
491 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
493 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
497 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
499 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
501 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
505 * Fix some indexing issues.
507 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
509 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
513 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
514 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
515 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
516 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
517 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
519 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
520 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
525 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
526 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
527 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
528 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
530 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
531 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
532 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
536 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
537 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
540 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
544 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
545 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
549 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
553 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
554 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
555 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
556 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
559 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
563 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
566 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
570 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
571 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
572 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
575 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
579 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
580 policy. (Chris Prather)
582 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
583 on this new support policy. (doy)
587 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
588 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
589 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
591 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
592 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
594 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
598 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
599 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
600 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
601 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
604 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
608 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
609 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
612 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
616 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
617 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
619 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
620 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
624 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
625 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
626 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
627 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
628 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
629 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
631 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
632 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
634 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
635 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
636 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
637 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
639 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
640 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
642 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
647 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
648 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
650 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
654 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
655 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
656 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
658 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
662 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
663 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
664 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
666 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
667 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
670 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
671 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
674 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
675 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
676 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
678 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
679 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
684 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
685 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
686 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
687 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
689 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
690 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
692 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
693 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
695 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
696 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
697 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
698 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
700 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
701 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
702 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
705 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
706 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
707 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
708 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
710 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
711 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
714 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
715 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
716 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
718 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
722 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
723 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
724 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
726 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
727 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
728 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
731 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
732 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
733 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
735 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
736 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
737 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
739 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
740 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
744 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
745 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
746 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
748 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
749 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
750 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
751 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
753 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
757 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
758 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
759 value is a reference.
761 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
762 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
764 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
768 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
769 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
770 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
772 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
776 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
777 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
781 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
782 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
783 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
785 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
786 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
787 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
789 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
793 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
795 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
799 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
801 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
802 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
807 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
808 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
810 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
811 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
812 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
813 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
814 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
816 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
817 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
818 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
819 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
821 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
825 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
826 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
831 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
833 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
835 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
840 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
842 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
846 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
847 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
848 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
850 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
851 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
852 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
853 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
855 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
856 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
857 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
858 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
859 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
862 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
867 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
868 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
869 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
870 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
871 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
874 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
878 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
881 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
882 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
886 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
887 function (not just method). (doy)
891 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
892 and aren't easily installable/testable.
894 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
898 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
899 to be overridden more easily (doy).
901 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
905 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
906 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
908 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
912 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
913 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
914 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
916 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
920 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
921 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
922 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
924 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
925 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
929 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
930 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
932 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
933 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
937 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
938 is applied to a class (t0m).
940 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
941 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
943 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
946 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
947 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
949 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
950 be much more robust. (doy)
952 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
954 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
957 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
961 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
962 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
964 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
968 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
969 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
971 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
974 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
975 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
976 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
978 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
979 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
980 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
983 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
985 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
989 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
990 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
994 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
996 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1000 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1001 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1005 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1006 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1010 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1012 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1016 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1017 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1021 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1022 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1026 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1027 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1029 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1033 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1034 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1035 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1038 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1042 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1043 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1044 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1045 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1047 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1051 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1052 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1053 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1057 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1058 (Michael G. Schwern)
1060 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1065 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1066 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1070 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1071 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1073 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1074 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1075 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1076 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1078 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1082 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1086 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1087 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1089 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1090 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1091 - Moose::Util::does_role
1092 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1093 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1094 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1096 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1100 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1101 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1102 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1105 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1109 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1110 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1113 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1117 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1118 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1121 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1125 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1127 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1128 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1130 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1131 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1132 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1134 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1135 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1136 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1139 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1140 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1142 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1143 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1144 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1146 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1148 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1149 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1151 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1153 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1156 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1157 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1159 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1160 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1162 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1163 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1164 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1165 dependencies installed.
1167 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1168 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1171 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1173 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1177 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1180 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1181 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1184 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1185 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1187 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1188 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1191 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1192 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1193 others. (nothingmuch)
1195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1196 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1197 remove_accessors. (doy)
1199 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1200 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1201 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1203 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1204 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1206 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1207 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1208 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1209 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1211 * Moose::Meta::Class
1212 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1213 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1215 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1216 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1218 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1220 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1221 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1225 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1226 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1227 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1228 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1230 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1231 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1232 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1233 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1234 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1235 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1236 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1239 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1240 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1241 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1242 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1243 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1245 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1246 which were not receiving the value of
1247 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1248 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1249 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1250 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1254 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1255 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1256 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1257 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1258 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1261 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1262 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1263 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1264 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1266 * Moose::Meta::Class
1267 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1268 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1269 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1272 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1273 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1274 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1276 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1277 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1278 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1281 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1282 class if you pass it options for
1283 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1284 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1285 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1286 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1287 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1288 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1289 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1290 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1291 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1293 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1294 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1295 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1296 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1297 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1300 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1302 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1303 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1306 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1307 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1308 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1309 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1310 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1313 * Moose::Error::Croak
1314 * Moose::Error::Confess
1315 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1316 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1319 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1322 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1323 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1324 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1326 * Moose::Meta::Class
1327 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1330 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1331 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1332 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1334 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1335 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1336 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1337 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1338 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1340 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1341 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1344 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1346 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1347 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1350 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1351 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1355 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1356 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1358 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1359 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1360 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1361 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1362 using it for new code!
1364 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1365 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1366 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1367 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1369 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1370 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1371 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1372 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1373 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1374 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1375 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1376 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1379 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1382 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1383 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1386 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1387 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1389 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1390 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1391 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1393 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1394 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1395 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1396 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1398 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1399 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1400 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1402 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1403 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1404 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1407 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1408 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1409 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1410 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1411 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1412 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1414 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1416 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1419 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1420 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1421 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1423 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1424 associated_methods. (hdp)
1425 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1426 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1427 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1428 misspelled) arguments
1430 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1431 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1432 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1433 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1435 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1436 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1437 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1439 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1442 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1443 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1444 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1447 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1448 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1450 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1451 * Moose::Meta::Class
1452 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1453 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1455 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1456 * Moose::Manual::Types
1457 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1458 string parsing rathole (mst)
1460 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1461 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1462 using plain objects instead
1464 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1465 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1466 that's what we need.

1469 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1470 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1471 three times today (perigrin)
1472 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1473 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1475 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1476 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1477 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1478 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1481 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1482 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1483 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1484 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1485 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1486 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1489 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1490 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1491 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1492 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1495 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1497 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1500 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1502 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1505 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1506 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1507 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1511 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1512 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1515 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1516 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1518 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1519 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1520 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1522 * Moose::Unsweetened
1523 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1525 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1526 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1529 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1533 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1534 methods during global destruction (doy)
1536 * Moose::Meta::Class
1537 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1538 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1539 consumption (Sartak)
1541 * Moose::Meta::Class
1542 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1543 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1546 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1547 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1550 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1551 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1553 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1555 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1559 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1560 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1561 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1564 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1565 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1566 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1569 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1571 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1572 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1573 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1576 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1577 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1578 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1579 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1581 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1582 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1583 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1586 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1589 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1590 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1591 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1595 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1596 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1598 * Moose::Meta::Class
1599 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1601 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1603 * Moose::Meta::Class
1604 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1605 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1608 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1609 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1612 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1613 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1616 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1619 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1621 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1622 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1625 * Moose::Meta::Class
1626 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1628 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1629 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1632 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1633 * More deprecations and renamings
1634 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1635 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1636 when an object is constructed)
1639 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1640 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1641 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1643 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1644 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1645 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1646 feature, and it works again.
1649 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1651 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1653 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1654 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1655 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1657 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1658 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1659 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1660 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1661 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1664 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1665 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1666 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1667 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1670 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1671 metaclass object. (hdp)
1673 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1674 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1675 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1676 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1677 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1678 point out this fact. (hdp)
1680 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1681 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1683 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1684 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1686 * Moose::Meta::Class
1687 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1688 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1689 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1690 called during instance construction were passed the
1691 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1692 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1694 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1695 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1698 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1699 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1700 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1703 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1704 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1705 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1706 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1707 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1709 - Moose::Meta::Class
1710 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1712 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1713 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1714 when an object is constructed)
1715 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1717 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1718 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1719 when an object is constructed)
1720 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1721 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1722 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1725 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1727 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1728 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1730 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1732 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1733 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1734 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1737 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1738 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1740 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1742 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1743 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1746 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1749 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1750 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1753 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1754 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1755 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1757 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1758 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1762 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1763 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1764 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1766 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1767 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1770 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1771 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1772 with recommended workarounds.
1774 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1775 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1777 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1778 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1779 (yes, spelled like that).
1781 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1782 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1784 * Moose::Meta::Class
1785 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1786 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1788 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1791 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1792 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1793 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1794 instead. Reported by doy.
1796 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1798 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1799 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1802 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1803 message) is now deprecated.
1804 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1805 often got it wrong. For example:
1807 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1809 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1813 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1814 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1815 bite you in weird cases.
1817 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1818 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1819 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1820 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1823 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1827 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1830 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1831 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1834 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1835 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1837 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1838 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1841 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1842 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1843 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1844 - added tests for this (stevan)
1846 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1847 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1848 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1849 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1853 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1854 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1855 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1856 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1858 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1859 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1860 - added tests for this (rafl)
1862 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1863 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1864 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1865 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1869 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1870 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1873 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1874 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1875 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1877 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1879 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1880 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1882 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1883 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1884 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1885 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1886 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1888 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1889 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1890 error message did not specify the attribute name
1893 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1895 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1897 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1898 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1899 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1902 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1905 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1907 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1908 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1909 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1910 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1912 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1914 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1915 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1916 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1917 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1919 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1920 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1921 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1924 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1925 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1926 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1927 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1929 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1930 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1931 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1932 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1933 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1935 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1936 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1937 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1938 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1939 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1940 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1942 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1943 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1944 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1945 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1946 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1947 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1950 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1952 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1953 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1954 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1955 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1957 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1958 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1961 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1965 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1966 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1968 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1969 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1970 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1971 guts. (nothingmuch).
1973 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1974 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1975 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1977 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1978 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1979 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1980 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1982 * Moose::Meta::Class
1983 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1986 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1987 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1989 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1990 * Moose::Unsweetened
1991 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1994 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1995 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1996 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1997 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1998 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1999 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2001 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2002 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2003 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2004 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2005 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2006 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2007 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2009 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2010 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2012 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2014 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2015 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2017 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2018 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2019 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2020 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2022 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2023 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2024 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2025 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2026 same methods for a single role did not work
2027 right (worked just fine with multiple
2029 - added test for this (stevan)
2031 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2032 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2033 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2036 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2037 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2038 - added test for this (t0m)
2041 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2042 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2043 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2045 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2046 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2047 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2048 - added test for this (t0m)
2050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2051 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2052 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2053 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2054 - added test for this (perigrin)
2057 - create method for constructing a role
2058 dynamically (Sartak)
2059 - added test for this (Sartak)
2060 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2061 - added test for this (Sartak)
2064 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2066 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2067 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2068 methods is useful (Sartak)
2070 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2071 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2072 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2075 * Moose::Meta::Class
2076 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2077 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2078 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2079 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2080 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2081 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2084 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2085 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2087 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2088 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2089 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2090 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2091 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2093 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2095 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2096 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2097 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2100 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2101 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2102 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2103 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2104 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2105 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2109 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2110 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2111 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2112 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2113 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2114 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2115 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2116 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2117 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2118 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2121 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2124 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2125 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2126 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2127 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2128 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2130 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2132 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2133 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2134 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2136 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2137 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2140 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2141 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2142 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2145 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2146 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2148 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2150 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2151 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2153 * Moose::Meta::Class
2154 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2155 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2156 a required attribute
2158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2159 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2160 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2161 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2163 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2164 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2166 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2167 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2168 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2169 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2170 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2171 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2172 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2173 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2175 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2176 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2177 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2179 * Roles and role application
2180 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2181 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2182 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2183 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2184 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2186 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2187 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2190 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2191 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2192 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2193 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2194 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2197 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2198 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2199 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2200 changes in the Moose internals.
2202 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2203 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2204 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2207 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2208 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2209 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2210 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2212 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2213 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2214 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2215 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2217 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2218 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2219 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2220 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2221 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2222 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2223 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2224 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2225 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2226 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2227 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2228 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2229 constraint implementations.
2231 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2235 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2236 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2237 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2238 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2239 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2240 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2241 - added tests for this (rafl)
2243 * Moose::Meta::Class
2244 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2245 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2246 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2247 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2248 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2249 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2250 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2251 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2254 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2255 - added tests for this (thepler)
2257 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2258 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2259 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2260 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2263 * Moose::Meta::Class
2264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2265 * Moose::Meta::Method
2268 * Moose::Error::Default
2269 * Moose::Error::Croak
2270 * Moose::Error::Confess
2271 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2272 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2273 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2274 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2275 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2276 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2278 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2280 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2281 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2283 * Moose::Unsweetened
2284 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2285 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2286 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2288 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2289 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2290 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2291 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2292 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2295 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2296 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2298 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2299 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2300 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2301 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2304 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2306 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2307 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2309 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2312 - Various bug fixes.
2314 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2315 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2317 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2319 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2320 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2321 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2322 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2323 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2324 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2326 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2327 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2328 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2330 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2331 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2332 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2335 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2336 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2337 dependency to 0.64_07.
2339 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2340 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2341 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2343 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2344 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2347 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2348 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2349 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2350 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2351 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2352 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2354 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2355 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2357 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2359 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2360 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2364 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2365 method when that method was provided by another role being
2366 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2367 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2369 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2371 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2372 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2375 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2376 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2377 - added test for this (t0m)
2379 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2380 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2381 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2383 - added test for this (t0m)
2386 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2387 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2388 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2391 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2392 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2394 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2396 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2397 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2399 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2400 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2401 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2403 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2404 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2407 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2408 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2409 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2410 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2414 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2415 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2416 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2419 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2420 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2421 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2422 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2425 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2429 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2430 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2431 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2433 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2434 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2435 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2436 created so that the process can be more easily
2437 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2440 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2441 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2442 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2444 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2445 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2448 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2449 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2451 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2452 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2453 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2455 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2456 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2457 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2459 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2460 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2462 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2463 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2466 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2467 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2471 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2472 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2474 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2475 ... this is not my day today ...
2477 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2478 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2479 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2480 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2481 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2484 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2485 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2486 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2487 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2488 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2491 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2493 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2494 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2495 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2496 this is not ever something you want to do
2497 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2498 - added tests for this (stevan)
2501 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2503 - added test for this
2505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2506 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2507 - added tests for this (wreis)
2509 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2510 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2511 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2512 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2514 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2515 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2516 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2519 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2521 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2523 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2526 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2527 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2528 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2529 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2530 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2531 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2532 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2533 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2534 - added tests for this
2536 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2537 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2538 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2539 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2541 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2543 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2544 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2545 - added tests for this (sartak)
2546 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2547 install_delegation method (Stevan)

2557 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2558 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2560 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2562 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2563 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2571 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2572 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2574 - added docs for this (TODO).
2575 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2576 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2577 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

2595 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2596 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2597 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2599 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2600 - move the ClassName type check code to
2601 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2603 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2604 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2606 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2607 (early morning release engineering)--
2609 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2610 which was causing the indexer to choke
2612 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2613 (late night release engineering)--
2615 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2616 changes in this release
2618 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2619 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2620 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2622 * Moose::Meta::Class
2623 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2624 since it is called so often by &meta
2626 * Moose::Meta::Class
2628 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2629 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2633 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2634 method for immutablization to check if the
2635 destructor object even needs to be created
2638 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2639 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2640 - added more descriptive error message to help
2641 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2642 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2644 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2646 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2647 XS based functionality is now optional
2648 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2649 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2650 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2652 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2653 to take care of this, mostly we added
2654 support for the package_name and name
2655 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2656 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2657 support regexp matching of names
2658 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2659 - tests added for this
2660 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2661 is currently not supported in roles,
2662 but, ... patches welcome
2663 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2664 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2665 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2668 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2669 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2670 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2671 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2672 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2673 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2674 - added test for this
2676 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2677 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2678 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2681 * Moose::Meta::Class
2682 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2686 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2688 - added tests for this
2689 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2690 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2692 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2693 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2694 themselves parameterizable types
2696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2697 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2698 called by the inlined immutable
2700 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2702 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2703 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2704 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2705 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2707 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2708 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2712 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2713 causing occasional cpantester failures
2714 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2715 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2717 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2719 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2720 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2723 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2724 ->body when looping through the
2725 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2727 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2728 eating the $@ values, and so not
2729 working correctly, it still kind of
2730 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2731 - added tests for this
2733 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2734 - added new recipe for immutable
2735 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2737 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2738 - added new recipe for builder and
2739 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2741 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2742 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2743 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2746 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2748 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2749 since Module::Install has done that.
2751 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2753 drink more coffee before
2754 doing release engineering
2756 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2757 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2758 modules. This fixes that.
2760 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2761 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2762 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2764 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2765 since we have tests which need the C3
2768 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2769 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2771 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2772 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2774 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2775 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2776 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2777 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2783 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2784 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2786 * Moose::Meta::Class
2787 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2788 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2790 - added test for this

2871 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2873 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2874 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2917 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2918 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3164 - added tests for this
3167 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3168 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3210 - fixed how required methods are handled
3211 when they encounter overriden or modified
3212 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3213 - added tests for this
3215 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3216 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3217 the | always creates a union and so is
3218 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3219 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working

3223 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3226 * Parameterized Types
3227 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3228 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3229 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3230 They can also be nested:
3231 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3232 And work with the type unions as well:
3233 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3235 * Better Framework Extendability
3236 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3237 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3238 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3239 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3242 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3243 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3244 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3245 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3453 so this release is just to fix that.
3456 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3457 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3458 (thanks to konobi for this)
3459 - added tests and docs
3461 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3462 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3464 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3465 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3466 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3467 - added tests for this
3468 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3469 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3470 functions to facilitate introspection.
3472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3473 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3474 to build the list of delegated methods
3475 correctly (and not override important
3476 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3478 - added tests and docs for this
3479 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3480 so that you can actually document your
3481 attributes and inspect them through the
3483 - added tests and docs for this
3485 * Moose::Meta::Class
3486 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3487 it will first look in for the class in the
3488 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3489 then default to just loading $name.
3490 - added tests and docs for this
3492 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3493 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3494 - added test for this
3497 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3498 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3499 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3500 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3502 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3503 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3506 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3508 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3509 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3510 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3513 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3514 !! for this developer release to work !!
3516 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3517 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3518 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3519 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3520 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3521 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3522 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3523 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3524 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3525 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3526 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3528 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3529 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3530 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3531 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3534 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3536 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3537 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3538 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3540 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3542 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3543 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3546 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3547 called unless they actually need to be.
3548 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3549 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3550 DEMOLISH method present.
3552 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3554 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3555 type constraint, which allows for a
3556 hand optimized version of the type
3557 constraint to be used when possible.
3558 - Any internally created type constraints
3559 now provide an optimized version as well.
3561 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3563 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3564 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3565 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3567 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3568 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3569 your class namespace of these exported
3572 * Moose::Meta::Class
3573 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3574 comes up during global destruction
3576 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3580 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3583 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3584 - changed how we do type checks so that
3585 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3588 - moved accessor generation methods to
3589 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3590 conform to the API changes from
3593 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3594 - changed how constraints are compiled
3595 so that we do less recursion and more
3596 iteration. This makes the type check
3598 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3602 - created this from methods formerly found in
3603 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3605 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3606 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3608 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3609 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3611 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3612 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3614 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3616 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3617 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3618 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3619 - added tests for this
3620 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3621 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3622 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3623 - removed tests for this
3625 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3627 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3628 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3629 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3632 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3633 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3634 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3636 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3637 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3638 comments for more info.
3641 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3642 asked questions and common problems
3644 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3645 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3646 - added tests for this
3648 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3649 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3650 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3651 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3653 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3654 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3657 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3658 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3659 is much appreciated :)
3660 - added tests for this
3662 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3663 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3664 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3667 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3668 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3670 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3672 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3673 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3677 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3678 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3679 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3681 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3683 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3686 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3687 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3688 keywords because we need to localize them.
3689 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3691 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3692 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3693 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3696 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3699 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3700 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3701 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3704 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3705 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3706 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3708 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3710 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3711 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3712 bottom of your class file.
3715 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3718 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3720 - improved error message when loading modules so
3721 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3722 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3723 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3726 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3727 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3728 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3730 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3731 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3733 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3734 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3735 turn them on for you.
3736 - added tests for this
3737 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3738 in Moose::Meta::Class

3765 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3766 - This release works in combination with
3767 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3768 release because it uses the a new
3769 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3770 complete Role implementation. It has
3771 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3772 the the previous CPAN version. This
3773 release also lacks good updated docs,
3774 the official release will have updated docs.
3777 - refactored the keyword exports
3778 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3779 accepts more than one Role at a time

3785 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3786 accepts more than one Role at a time
3788 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3790 string enumerations which can be used as
3792 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3795 - more careful checking of params to new()
3798 - much work done on the role composition
3799 - many new tests for conflict detection
3800 and composition edge cases
3801 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3802 looking at the tests
3804 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3805 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3806 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3808 * Moose::Meta::Class

3811 - some small additions to support Roles
3813 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3814 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3816 - some small changes to support the new
3818 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3819 with the 'handles' option
3820 - added several tests for this
3821 - no docs for this yet

3825 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3826 thanks to chansen for this commit
3827 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3828 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3829 on a per-attribute basis
3830 - added tests for this
3831 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3832 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3833 experimental feature and probably not finished
