1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
9 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
13 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
14 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
15 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
17 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
18 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
19 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
20 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
25 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
26 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
27 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
30 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
34 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
35 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
38 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
39 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
40 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
44 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
45 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
50 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
51 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
52 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
53 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
55 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
59 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
60 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
61 the attribute's reference.
65 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
66 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
70 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
71 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
72 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
75 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
76 the Object constraint).
78 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
82 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
83 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
88 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
90 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
94 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
97 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
99 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
103 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
105 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
109 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
112 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
113 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
114 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
116 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
119 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
123 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
125 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
129 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
131 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
135 * Include changes from 2.0010.
137 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
141 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
142 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
146 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
147 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
148 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
153 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
155 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
159 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
160 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
162 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
166 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
168 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
172 * Various packaging issues.
174 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
178 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
179 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
184 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
185 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
186 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
190 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
191 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
192 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
194 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
198 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
199 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
201 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
205 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
206 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
208 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
211 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
212 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
216 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
217 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
219 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
223 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
224 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
228 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
230 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
234 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
236 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
240 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
241 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
243 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
247 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
249 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
253 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
255 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
256 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
258 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
262 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
263 skips every other role. (rjbs)
265 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
266 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
267 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
268 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
269 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
271 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
275 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
276 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
277 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
280 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
285 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
287 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
288 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
290 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
294 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
295 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
296 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
300 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
301 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
303 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
304 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
306 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
307 environments. (doy, mateu)
309 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
313 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
314 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
315 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
316 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
320 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
321 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
323 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
327 * Update conflicts list.
330 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
334 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
335 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
336 details. (Dave Rolsky)
338 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
339 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
340 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
341 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
342 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
346 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
347 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
348 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
349 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
350 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
353 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
357 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
358 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
360 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
363 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
367 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
368 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
369 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
370 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
372 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
373 immutable classes). (mo)
375 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
376 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
377 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
379 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
383 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
385 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
387 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
391 * Fix some indexing issues.
393 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
395 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
399 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
400 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
401 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
402 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
403 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
405 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
406 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
411 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
412 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
413 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
414 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
416 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
417 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
418 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
422 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
423 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
426 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
430 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
431 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
435 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
439 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
440 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
441 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
442 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
445 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
449 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
452 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
456 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
457 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
458 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
461 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
465 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
466 policy. (Chris Prather)
468 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
469 on this new support policy. (doy)
473 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
474 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
475 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
477 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
478 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
480 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
484 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
485 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
486 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
487 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
490 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
494 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
495 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
498 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
502 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
503 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
505 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
506 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
510 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
511 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
512 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
513 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
514 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
515 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
517 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
518 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
520 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
521 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
522 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
523 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
525 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
526 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
528 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
533 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
534 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
536 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
540 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
541 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
542 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
544 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
548 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
549 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
550 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
552 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
553 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
556 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
557 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
560 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
561 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
562 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
564 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
565 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
570 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
571 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
572 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
573 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
575 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
576 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
578 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
579 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
581 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
582 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
583 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
584 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
586 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
587 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
588 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
591 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
592 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
593 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
594 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
596 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
597 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
600 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
601 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
602 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
604 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
608 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
609 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
610 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
612 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
613 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
614 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
617 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
618 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
619 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
621 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
622 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
623 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
625 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
626 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
630 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
631 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
632 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
634 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
635 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
636 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
637 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
639 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
643 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
644 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
645 value is a reference.
647 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
648 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
650 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
654 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
655 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
656 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
658 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
662 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
663 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
667 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
668 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
669 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
671 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
672 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
673 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
675 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
679 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
681 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
685 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
687 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
688 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
693 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
694 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
696 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
697 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
698 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
699 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
700 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
702 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
703 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
704 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
705 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
707 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
711 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
712 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
717 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
719 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
721 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
726 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
728 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
732 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
733 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
734 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
736 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
737 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
738 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
739 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
741 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
742 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
743 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
744 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
745 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
748 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
753 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
754 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
755 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
756 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
757 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
760 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
764 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
767 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
768 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
772 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
773 function (not just method). (doy)
777 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
778 and aren't easily installable/testable.
780 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
784 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
785 to be overridden more easily (doy).
787 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
791 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
792 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
794 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
798 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
799 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
800 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
802 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
806 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
807 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
808 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
810 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
811 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
815 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
816 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
818 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
819 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
823 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
824 is applied to a class (t0m).
826 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
827 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
829 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
832 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
833 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
835 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
836 be much more robust. (doy)
838 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
840 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
843 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
847 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
848 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
850 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
854 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
855 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
857 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
860 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
861 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
862 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
864 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
865 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
866 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
869 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
871 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
875 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
876 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
880 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
882 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
887 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
891 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
892 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
896 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
898 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
902 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
903 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
907 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
908 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
912 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
913 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
915 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
919 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
920 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
921 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
924 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
928 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
929 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
930 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
931 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
933 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
937 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
938 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
939 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
943 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
946 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
951 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
952 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
956 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
957 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
959 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
960 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
961 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
962 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
964 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
968 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
972 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
973 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
975 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
976 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
977 - Moose::Util::does_role
978 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
979 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
980 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
982 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
986 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
987 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
988 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
991 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
995 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
996 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
999 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1003 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1004 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1007 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1011 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1013 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1014 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1016 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1017 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1018 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1021 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1022 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1025 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1026 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1028 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1029 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1030 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1032 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1034 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1035 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1037 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1039 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1042 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1043 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1045 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1046 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1048 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1049 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1050 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1051 dependencies installed.
1053 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1054 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1057 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1059 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1063 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1065 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1066 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1067 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1069 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1070 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1071 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1073 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1074 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1077 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1078 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1079 others. (nothingmuch)
1081 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1082 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1083 remove_accessors. (doy)
1085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1086 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1087 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1090 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1092 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1093 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1094 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1095 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1097 * Moose::Meta::Class
1098 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1099 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1101 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1102 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1104 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1106 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1107 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1110 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1111 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1112 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1113 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1114 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1116 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1117 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1118 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1119 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1120 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1121 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1122 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1125 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1126 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1127 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1128 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1129 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1131 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1132 which were not receiving the value of
1133 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1134 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1135 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1136 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1140 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1141 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1142 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1143 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1144 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1148 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1149 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1150 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1152 * Moose::Meta::Class
1153 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1154 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1155 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1158 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1159 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1160 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1163 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1164 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1167 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1168 class if you pass it options for
1169 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1170 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1171 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1172 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1173 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1174 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1175 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1176 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1177 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1179 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1180 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1181 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1182 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1183 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1186 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1188 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1189 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1191 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1192 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1193 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1194 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1195 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1196 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1199 * Moose::Error::Croak
1200 * Moose::Error::Confess
1201 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1202 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1205 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1208 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1209 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1210 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1212 * Moose::Meta::Class
1213 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1216 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1217 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1218 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1221 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1222 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1223 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1224 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1226 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1227 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1230 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1232 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1233 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1236 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1237 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1240 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1241 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1242 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1244 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1245 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1246 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1247 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1248 using it for new code!
1250 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1251 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1252 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1253 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1255 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1256 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1257 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1258 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1259 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1260 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1261 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1262 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1265 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1268 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1269 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1272 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1273 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1275 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1276 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1277 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1279 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1280 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1281 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1282 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1284 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1285 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1286 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1289 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1290 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1293 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1295 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1296 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1297 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1298 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1300 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1302 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1305 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1306 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1307 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1309 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1310 associated_methods. (hdp)
1311 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1312 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1313 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1314 misspelled) arguments
1316 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1317 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1318 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1319 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1321 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1322 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1323 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1325 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1329 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1330 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1333 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1334 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1336 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1337 * Moose::Meta::Class
1338 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1339 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1341 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1342 * Moose::Manual::Types
1343 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1344 string parsing rathole (mst)
1346 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1347 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1348 using plain objects instead
1350 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1351 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1352 that's what we need.
1354 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1355 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1356 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1357 three times today (perigrin)
1358 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1359 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1362 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1363 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1364 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1367 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1368 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1369 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1370 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1371 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1372 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1375 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1376 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1377 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1378 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1381 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1383 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1386 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1388 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1391 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1392 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1393 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1397 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1398 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1401 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1402 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1404 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1405 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1406 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1408 * Moose::Unsweetened
1409 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1411 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1412 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1415 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1419 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1420 methods during global destruction (doy)
1422 * Moose::Meta::Class
1423 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1424 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1425 consumption (Sartak)
1427 * Moose::Meta::Class
1428 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1429 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1432 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1433 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1436 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1437 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1439 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1441 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1445 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1446 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1447 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1450 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1451 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1452 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1455 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1457 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1458 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1459 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1462 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1463 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1464 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1465 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1467 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1468 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1469 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1472 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1475 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1476 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1477 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1481 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1482 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1484 * Moose::Meta::Class
1485 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1487 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1489 * Moose::Meta::Class
1490 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1491 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1494 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1495 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1498 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1499 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1502 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1505 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1508 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1511 * Moose::Meta::Class
1512 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1514 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1515 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1518 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1519 * More deprecations and renamings
1520 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1521 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1522 when an object is constructed)
1525 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1526 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1527 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1529 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1530 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1531 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1532 feature, and it works again.
1535 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1537 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1539 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1540 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1541 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1543 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1544 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1545 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1546 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1547 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1549 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1550 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1551 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1552 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1553 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1556 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1557 metaclass object. (hdp)
1559 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1560 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1561 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1562 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1563 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1564 point out this fact. (hdp)
1566 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1567 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1569 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1570 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1572 * Moose::Meta::Class
1573 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1574 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1575 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1576 called during instance construction were passed the
1577 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1578 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1580 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1581 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1584 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1585 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1586 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1589 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1590 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1591 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1592 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1593 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1595 - Moose::Meta::Class
1596 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1598 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1599 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1600 when an object is constructed)
1601 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1603 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1604 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1605 when an object is constructed)
1606 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1607 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1608 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1611 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1613 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1614 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1616 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1618 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1619 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1620 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1622 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1623 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1624 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1626 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1628 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1629 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1631 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1632 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1635 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1636 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1639 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1640 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1641 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1643 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1644 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1648 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1649 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1650 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1653 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1656 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1657 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1658 with recommended workarounds.
1660 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1661 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1664 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1665 (yes, spelled like that).
1667 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1668 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1670 * Moose::Meta::Class
1671 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1672 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1674 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1677 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1678 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1679 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1680 instead. Reported by doy.
1682 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1684 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1685 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1687 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1688 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1689 message) is now deprecated.
1690 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1691 often got it wrong. For example:
1693 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1695 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1699 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1700 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1701 bite you in weird cases.
1703 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1704 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1705 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1706 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1709 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1713 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1716 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1717 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1720 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1721 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1723 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1724 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1727 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1728 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1729 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1730 - added tests for this (stevan)
1732 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1733 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1734 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1735 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1739 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1740 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1741 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1742 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1744 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1745 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1746 - added tests for this (rafl)
1748 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1749 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1750 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1751 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1755 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1756 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1759 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1760 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1761 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1763 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1765 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1766 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1768 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1769 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1770 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1771 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1772 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1774 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1775 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1776 error message did not specify the attribute name
1779 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1781 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1783 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1784 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1785 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1787 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1788 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1791 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1793 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1794 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1795 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1796 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1798 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1800 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1801 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1802 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1803 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1806 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1807 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1809 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1810 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1811 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1812 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1813 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1815 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1816 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1817 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1818 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1819 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1822 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1823 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1824 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1825 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1826 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1828 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1829 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1830 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1831 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1832 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1833 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1835 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1836 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1838 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1839 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1840 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1841 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1843 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1844 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1847 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1851 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1852 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1854 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1855 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1856 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1857 guts. (nothingmuch).
1859 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1860 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1861 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1863 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1864 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1865 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1866 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1868 * Moose::Meta::Class
1869 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1872 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1873 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1875 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1876 * Moose::Unsweetened
1877 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1880 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1881 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1882 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1883 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1884 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1885 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1887 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1888 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1889 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1890 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1891 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1892 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1893 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1894 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1895 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1896 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1900 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1901 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1903 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1904 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1905 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1906 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1908 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1909 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1910 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1911 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1912 same methods for a single role did not work
1913 right (worked just fine with multiple
1915 - added test for this (stevan)
1917 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1918 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1919 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1922 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1923 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1924 - added test for this (t0m)
1927 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1928 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1929 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1931 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1932 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1933 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1934 - added test for this (t0m)
1936 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1937 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1938 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1939 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1940 - added test for this (perigrin)
1943 - create method for constructing a role
1944 dynamically (Sartak)
1945 - added test for this (Sartak)
1946 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1947 - added test for this (Sartak)
1950 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1952 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1953 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1954 methods is useful (Sartak)
1956 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1957 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1958 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1961 * Moose::Meta::Class
1962 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1963 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1964 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1965 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1966 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1967 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1970 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1971 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1973 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1974 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1975 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1976 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1977 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1979 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1981 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1982 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1983 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1986 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1987 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1988 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1989 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1990 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1991 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1994 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1995 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1996 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1997 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1998 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1999 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2000 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2001 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2002 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2003 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2004 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2006 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2007 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2010 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2011 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2012 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2013 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2014 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2016 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2018 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2019 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2020 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2022 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2023 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2025 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2026 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2027 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2028 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2031 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2032 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2034 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2036 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2037 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2039 * Moose::Meta::Class
2040 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2041 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2042 a required attribute
2044 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2045 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2046 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2047 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2049 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2050 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2052 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2053 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2054 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2055 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2056 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2057 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2058 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2059 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2061 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2062 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2063 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2065 * Roles and role application
2066 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2067 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2068 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2069 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2070 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2072 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2073 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2076 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2077 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2078 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2079 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2080 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2083 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2084 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2085 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2086 changes in the Moose internals.
2088 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2090 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2093 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2094 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2095 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2096 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2098 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2099 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2100 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2101 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2103 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2104 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2105 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2106 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2107 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2108 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2109 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2110 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2111 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2112 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2113 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2114 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2115 constraint implementations.
2117 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2121 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2122 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2123 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2124 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2125 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2126 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2127 - added tests for this (rafl)
2129 * Moose::Meta::Class
2130 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2131 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2132 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2133 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2134 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2135 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2136 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2137 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2140 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2141 - added tests for this (thepler)
2143 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2144 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2145 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2146 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2149 * Moose::Meta::Class
2150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2151 * Moose::Meta::Method
2154 * Moose::Error::Default
2155 * Moose::Error::Croak
2156 * Moose::Error::Confess
2157 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2158 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2159 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2160 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2161 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2162 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2164 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2166 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2167 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2169 * Moose::Unsweetened
2170 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2171 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2172 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2174 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2175 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2176 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2177 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2178 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2181 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2182 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2184 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2185 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2186 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2187 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2227 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2229 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2230 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2233 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2234 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2235 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2236 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2237 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2238 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2241 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2243 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2245 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2246 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2250 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2251 method when that method was provided by another role being
2252 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2253 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2255 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2262 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2263 - added test for this (t0m)
2265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2266 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2267 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2269 - added test for this (t0m)
2272 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2273 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2274 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2277 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2278 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2280 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2282 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2283 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2285 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2286 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2287 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2289 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2290 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2293 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2296 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2300 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2301 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2302 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2306 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2307 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2308 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2311 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2315 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2317 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2319 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2321 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2322 created so that the process can be more easily

2357 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2358 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2360 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2361 ... this is not my day today ...
2363 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2364 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2365 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2366 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2367 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2370 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2371 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2372 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2373 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2374 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2377 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2379 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2380 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2381 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2382 this is not ever something you want to do
2383 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2384 - added tests for this (stevan)
2387 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2389 - added test for this

2398 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2400 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2401 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2402 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2405 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2407 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2409 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2412 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2413 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2414 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2415 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2416 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2417 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2418 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2419 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2420 - added tests for this
2422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2423 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2424 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2425 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2496 which was causing the indexer to choke
2498 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2499 (late night release engineering)--
2501 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2502 changes in this release

2515 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2518 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2519 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2520 method for immutablization to check if the
2521 destructor object even needs to be created
2524 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2525 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2526 - added more descriptive error message to help
2527 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2528 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2530 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2532 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2533 XS based functionality is now optional
2534 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2535 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2536 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2538 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2539 to take care of this, mostly we added
2540 support for the package_name and name
2541 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2542 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2543 support regexp matching of names
2544 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2545 - tests added for this
2546 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2547 is currently not supported in roles,
2548 but, ... patches welcome
2549 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2550 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2551 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2554 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2555 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2556 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2557 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2558 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2559 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2560 - added test for this
2562 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2563 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2564 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2567 * Moose::Meta::Class
2568 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2572 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2574 - added tests for this
2575 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2576 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2579 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2580 themselves parameterizable types
2582 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2584 called by the inlined immutable
2586 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2588 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2589 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2590 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2591 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2593 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2594 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2606 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2609 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2610 ->body when looping through the
2611 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2613 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2614 eating the $@ values, and so not
2615 working correctly, it still kind of
2616 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2617 - added tests for this
2619 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2620 - added new recipe for immutable
2621 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2623 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2639 drink more coffee before
2640 doing release engineering
2642 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2643 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2644 modules. This fixes that.

2674 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2676 - added test for this
2678 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2757 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2759 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2799 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2801 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2802 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2803 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2804 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2805 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2807 - added more delegation tests
2808 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2809 support traits and their introspection.
2810 - added tests for this

3050 - added tests for this
3053 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3054 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3096 - fixed how required methods are handled
3097 when they encounter overriden or modified
3098 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3099 - added tests for this
3101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3102 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3103 the | always creates a union and so is
3104 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3109 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3112 * Parameterized Types
3113 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3114 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3115 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3116 They can also be nested:
3117 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3118 And work with the type unions as well:
3119 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3121 * Better Framework Extendability
3122 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3123 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3124 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3125 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3128 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3129 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3130 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3131 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3134 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3136 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3137 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3365 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3366 so that you can actually document your
3367 attributes and inspect them through the

3371 * Moose::Meta::Class
3372 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3373 it will first look in for the class in the
3374 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3375 then default to just loading $name.
3376 - added tests and docs for this
3378 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3379 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3380 - added test for this
3383 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3384 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3385 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3386 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3388 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3389 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3392 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3394 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3395 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3396 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3399 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3400 !! for this developer release to work !!
3402 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3403 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3404 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3405 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3406 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3407 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3408 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3409 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3410 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3411 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3412 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3414 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3415 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3416 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3417 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3420 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3421 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3422 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3423 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3424 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3426 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3428 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3429 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3432 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3433 called unless they actually need to be.
3434 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3435 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3436 DEMOLISH method present.
3438 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3439 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3440 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3441 type constraint, which allows for a
3442 hand optimized version of the type
3443 constraint to be used when possible.
3444 - Any internally created type constraints
3445 now provide an optimized version as well.
3447 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3449 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3450 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3451 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3453 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3454 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3455 your class namespace of these exported
3458 * Moose::Meta::Class
3459 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3460 comes up during global destruction
3462 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3466 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3469 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3470 - changed how we do type checks so that
3471 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3474 - moved accessor generation methods to
3475 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3476 conform to the API changes from
3479 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3480 - changed how constraints are compiled
3481 so that we do less recursion and more
3482 iteration. This makes the type check
3484 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3487 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3488 - created this from methods formerly found in
3489 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3491 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3492 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3494 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3495 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3497 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3498 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3500 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3502 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3503 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3504 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3505 - added tests for this
3506 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3507 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3508 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3509 - removed tests for this
3511 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3513 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3514 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3515 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3518 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3519 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3520 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3522 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3523 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3524 comments for more info.
3527 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3528 asked questions and common problems
3530 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3531 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3532 - added tests for this
3534 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3535 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3536 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3537 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3539 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3540 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3543 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3544 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3545 is much appreciated :)
3546 - added tests for this
3548 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3549 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3550 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3553 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3554 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3556 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3558 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3559 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3563 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3564 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3565 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3567 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3569 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3572 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3573 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3574 keywords because we need to localize them.
3575 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3577 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3578 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3579 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3582 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3585 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3586 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3587 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3590 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3591 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3592 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3594 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3596 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3597 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3598 bottom of your class file.
3601 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3604 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3606 - improved error message when loading modules so
3607 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3608 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3609 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3612 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3613 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3614 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3616 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3617 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3619 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3620 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3621 turn them on for you.
3622 - added tests for this
3623 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3624 in Moose::Meta::Class
3627 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3628 automatically turned on for you.

3650 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3651 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3652 - This release works in combination with
3653 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3654 release because it uses the a new
3655 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3656 complete Role implementation. It has
3657 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3658 the the previous CPAN version. This
3659 release also lacks good updated docs,
3660 the official release will have updated docs.
3663 - refactored the keyword exports
3664 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3665 accepts more than one Role at a time
3666 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3667 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3670 - refactored the keyword exports
3671 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3672 accepts more than one Role at a time
3674 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3675 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3676 string enumerations which can be used as
3678 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3681 - more careful checking of params to new()
3684 - much work done on the role composition
3685 - many new tests for conflict detection
3686 and composition edge cases
3687 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3688 looking at the tests
3690 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3691 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3692 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3694 * Moose::Meta::Class
3695 - some small changes to support the new
3697 - some small additions to support Roles
3699 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3700 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3702 - some small changes to support the new
3704 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3705 with the 'handles' option
3706 - added several tests for this
3707 - no docs for this yet
3709 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3711 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3712 thanks to chansen for this commit
3713 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3714 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3715 on a per-attribute basis
3716 - added tests for this
3717 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3718 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3719 experimental feature and probably not finished

3784 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3786 - added test for this
