1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
9 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
10 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
11 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
13 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
17 * Minor documentation fixes.
19 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
22 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
26 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
27 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
29 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
33 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
35 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
39 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
44 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
48 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
50 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
51 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
55 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
56 more values were required. (rjbs)
58 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
62 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
63 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
67 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
68 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
69 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
70 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
72 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
73 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
74 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
76 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
77 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
80 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
81 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
82 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
83 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
87 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
88 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
89 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
90 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
93 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
97 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
98 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
101 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
102 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
103 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
105 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
106 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
107 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
109 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
110 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
113 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
114 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
115 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
117 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
118 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
121 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
122 the associated stash. (doy)
126 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
127 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
128 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
129 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
131 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
135 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
136 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
137 the attribute's reference.
141 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
142 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
147 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
148 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
149 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
152 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
153 the Object constraint).
155 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
159 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
160 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
165 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
167 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
171 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
174 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
176 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
180 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
182 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
186 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
189 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
190 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
191 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
193 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
196 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
200 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
202 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
206 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
208 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
212 * Include changes from 2.0010.
214 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
218 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
219 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
223 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
224 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
225 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
230 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
232 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
236 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
237 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
239 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
243 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
245 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
249 * Various packaging issues.
251 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
255 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
256 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
261 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
262 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
263 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
267 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
268 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
269 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
271 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
275 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
276 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
278 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
282 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
283 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
285 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
288 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
289 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
293 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
294 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
296 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
300 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
301 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
305 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
307 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
311 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
313 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
317 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
318 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
320 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
324 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
326 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
330 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
332 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
333 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
335 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
339 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
340 skips every other role. (rjbs)
342 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
343 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
344 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
345 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
346 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
348 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
352 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
353 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
354 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
357 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
362 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
364 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
365 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
367 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
371 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
372 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
373 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
377 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
378 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
380 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
381 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
383 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
384 environments. (doy, mateu)
386 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
390 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
391 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
392 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
393 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
397 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
398 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
400 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
404 * Update conflicts list.
407 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
411 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
412 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
413 details. (Dave Rolsky)
415 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
416 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
417 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
418 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
419 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
423 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
424 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
425 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
426 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
427 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
430 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
434 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
435 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
437 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
440 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
444 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
445 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
446 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
447 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
449 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
450 immutable classes). (mo)
452 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
453 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
454 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
456 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
460 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
462 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
464 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
468 * Fix some indexing issues.
470 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
472 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
476 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
477 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
478 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
479 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
480 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
482 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
483 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
488 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
489 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
490 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
491 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
493 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
494 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
495 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
499 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
500 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
503 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
507 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
508 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
512 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
516 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
517 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
518 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
519 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
522 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
526 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
529 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
533 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
534 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
535 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
538 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
542 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
543 policy. (Chris Prather)
545 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
546 on this new support policy. (doy)
550 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
551 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
552 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
554 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
555 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
557 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
561 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
562 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
563 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
564 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
567 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
571 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
572 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
575 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
579 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
580 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
582 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
583 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
587 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
588 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
589 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
590 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
591 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
592 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
594 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
595 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
597 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
598 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
599 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
600 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
602 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
603 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
605 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
610 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
611 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
613 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
617 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
618 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
619 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
621 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
625 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
626 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
627 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
629 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
630 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
633 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
634 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
637 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
638 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
639 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
641 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
642 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
647 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
648 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
649 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
650 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
652 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
653 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
655 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
656 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
658 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
659 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
660 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
661 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
663 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
664 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
665 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
668 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
669 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
670 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
671 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
673 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
674 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
677 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
678 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
679 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
681 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
685 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
686 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
687 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
689 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
690 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
691 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
694 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
695 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
696 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
698 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
699 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
700 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
702 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
703 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
707 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
708 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
709 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
711 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
712 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
713 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
714 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
716 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
720 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
721 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
722 value is a reference.
724 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
725 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
727 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
731 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
732 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
733 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
735 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
739 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
740 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
744 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
745 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
746 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
748 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
749 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
750 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
752 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
756 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
758 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
762 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
764 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
765 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
770 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
771 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
773 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
774 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
775 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
776 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
777 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
779 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
780 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
781 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
782 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
784 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
788 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
789 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
794 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
796 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
798 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
803 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
805 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
809 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
810 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
811 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
813 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
814 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
815 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
816 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
818 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
819 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
820 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
821 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
822 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
825 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
830 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
831 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
832 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
833 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
834 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
837 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
841 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
844 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
845 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
849 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
850 function (not just method). (doy)
854 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
855 and aren't easily installable/testable.
857 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
861 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
862 to be overridden more easily (doy).
864 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
868 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
869 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
871 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
875 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
876 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
877 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
879 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
883 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
884 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
885 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
887 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
888 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
892 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
893 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
895 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
896 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
900 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
901 is applied to a class (t0m).
903 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
904 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
906 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
909 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
910 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
912 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
913 be much more robust. (doy)
915 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
917 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
920 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
924 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
925 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
927 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
931 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
932 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
934 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
937 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
938 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
939 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
941 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
942 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
943 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
946 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
948 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
952 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
953 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
957 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
959 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
963 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
964 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
968 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
969 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
973 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
975 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
979 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
980 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
984 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
985 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
989 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
990 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
992 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
996 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
997 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
998 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1001 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1005 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1006 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1007 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1008 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1010 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1014 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1015 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1016 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1020 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1021 (Michael G. Schwern)
1023 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1027 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1028 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1029 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1033 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1034 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1036 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1037 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1038 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1039 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1041 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1045 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1049 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1050 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1052 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1053 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1054 - Moose::Util::does_role
1055 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1056 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1057 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1059 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1063 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1064 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1065 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1072 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1073 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1076 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1080 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1081 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1084 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1088 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1090 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1091 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1093 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1094 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1095 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1097 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1098 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1099 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1102 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1103 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1105 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1106 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1107 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1109 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1111 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1112 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1114 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1116 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1119 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1120 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1122 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1123 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1125 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1126 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1127 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1128 dependencies installed.
1130 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1131 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1134 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1136 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1140 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1143 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1144 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1146 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1147 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1148 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1150 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1151 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1154 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1155 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1156 others. (nothingmuch)
1158 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1159 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1160 remove_accessors. (doy)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1163 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1164 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1166 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1167 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1169 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1170 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1171 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1172 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1174 * Moose::Meta::Class
1175 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1176 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1178 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1179 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1181 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1183 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1184 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1187 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1188 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1189 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1190 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1191 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1193 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1196 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1197 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1198 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1199 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1202 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1203 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1204 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1205 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1206 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1208 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1209 which were not receiving the value of
1210 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1211 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1212 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1213 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1217 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1218 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1219 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1220 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1221 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1224 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1225 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1226 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1227 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1229 * Moose::Meta::Class
1230 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1231 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1232 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1235 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1236 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1237 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1240 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1241 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1244 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1245 class if you pass it options for
1246 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1247 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1248 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1249 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1250 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1251 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1252 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1253 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1254 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1256 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1257 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1258 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1259 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1260 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1263 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1265 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1266 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1268 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1269 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1270 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1271 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1272 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1273 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1276 * Moose::Error::Croak
1277 * Moose::Error::Confess
1278 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1279 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1282 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1285 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1286 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1287 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1289 * Moose::Meta::Class
1290 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1293 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1294 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1295 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1297 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1298 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1299 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1300 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1301 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1303 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1304 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1307 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1309 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1310 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1313 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1314 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1316 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1317 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1318 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1319 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1321 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1322 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1323 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1324 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1325 using it for new code!
1327 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1328 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1329 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1330 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1332 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1333 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1334 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1335 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1336 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1337 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1338 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1339 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1342 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1345 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1346 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1349 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1350 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1353 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1354 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1356 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1357 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1358 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1359 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1361 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1362 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1363 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1366 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1367 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1370 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1371 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1372 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1373 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1374 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1375 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1377 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1379 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1382 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1383 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1384 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1386 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1387 associated_methods. (hdp)
1388 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1389 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1390 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1391 misspelled) arguments
1393 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1394 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1395 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1396 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1398 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1399 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1400 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1402 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1405 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1406 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1407 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1410 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1411 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1413 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1414 * Moose::Meta::Class
1415 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1416 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1418 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1419 * Moose::Manual::Types
1420 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1421 string parsing rathole (mst)
1423 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1424 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1425 using plain objects instead
1427 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1428 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1429 that's what we need.
1431 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1432 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1433 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1434 three times today (perigrin)
1435 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1436 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1438 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1439 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1440 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1441 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1444 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1445 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1446 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1447 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1448 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1449 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1452 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1453 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1454 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1455 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1458 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1460 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1463 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1465 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1468 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1469 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1470 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1474 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1475 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1478 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1479 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1481 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1482 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1483 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1485 * Moose::Unsweetened
1486 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1488 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1489 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1492 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1496 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1497 methods during global destruction (doy)
1499 * Moose::Meta::Class
1500 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1501 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1502 consumption (Sartak)
1504 * Moose::Meta::Class
1505 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1506 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1509 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1510 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1513 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1514 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1516 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1518 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1522 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1523 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1524 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1527 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1528 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1529 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1532 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1534 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1535 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1536 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1540 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1541 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1542 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1544 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1545 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1546 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1549 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1552 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1553 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1554 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1558 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1559 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1561 * Moose::Meta::Class
1562 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1564 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1566 * Moose::Meta::Class
1567 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1568 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1571 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1572 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1575 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1576 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1579 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1582 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1584 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1585 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1588 * Moose::Meta::Class
1589 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1591 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1592 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1595 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1596 * More deprecations and renamings
1597 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1598 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1599 when an object is constructed)
1602 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1603 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1604 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1606 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1607 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1608 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1609 feature, and it works again.
1612 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1614 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1616 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1617 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1618 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1620 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1621 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1622 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1623 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1624 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1626 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1627 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1628 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1629 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1630 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1633 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1634 metaclass object. (hdp)
1636 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1637 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1638 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1639 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1640 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1641 point out this fact. (hdp)
1643 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1644 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1646 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1647 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1649 * Moose::Meta::Class
1650 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1651 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1652 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1653 called during instance construction were passed the
1654 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1655 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1657 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1658 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1661 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1662 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1663 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1666 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1667 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1668 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1669 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1670 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1672 - Moose::Meta::Class
1673 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1675 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1676 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1677 when an object is constructed)
1678 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1680 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1681 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1682 when an object is constructed)
1683 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1684 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1685 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1688 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1690 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1691 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1693 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1695 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1696 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1697 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1700 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1701 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1703 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1705 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1706 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1708 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1709 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1712 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1713 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1716 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1717 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1718 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1720 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1721 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1725 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1726 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1727 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1729 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1730 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1733 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1734 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1735 with recommended workarounds.
1737 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1738 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1740 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1741 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1742 (yes, spelled like that).
1744 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1745 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1747 * Moose::Meta::Class
1748 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1749 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1751 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1753 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1754 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1755 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1756 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1757 instead. Reported by doy.
1759 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1761 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1762 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1764 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1765 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1766 message) is now deprecated.
1767 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1768 often got it wrong. For example:
1770 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1772 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1776 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1777 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1778 bite you in weird cases.
1780 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1781 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1782 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1783 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1785 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1786 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1790 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1793 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1794 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1797 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1798 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1801 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1804 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1805 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1806 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1807 - added tests for this (stevan)
1809 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1810 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1811 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1812 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1816 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1817 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1818 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1819 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1821 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1822 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1823 - added tests for this (rafl)
1825 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1826 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1827 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1828 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1832 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1833 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1836 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1837 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1838 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1840 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1842 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1843 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1845 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1846 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1847 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1848 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1849 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1851 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1852 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1853 error message did not specify the attribute name
1856 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1858 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1860 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1861 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1862 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1864 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1865 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1868 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1870 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1871 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1872 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1873 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1875 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1877 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1878 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1879 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1880 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1882 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1883 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1884 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1886 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1887 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1888 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1889 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1890 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1893 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1894 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1895 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1896 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1899 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1900 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1901 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1902 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1903 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1905 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1906 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1907 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1908 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1909 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1910 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1912 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1913 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1915 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1916 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1917 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1918 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1920 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1921 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1924 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1928 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1929 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1931 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1932 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1933 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1934 guts. (nothingmuch).
1936 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1937 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1938 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1941 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1942 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1943 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1945 * Moose::Meta::Class
1946 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1949 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1950 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1952 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1953 * Moose::Unsweetened
1954 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1957 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1958 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1959 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1960 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1961 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1962 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1964 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1965 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1966 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1967 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1968 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1969 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1970 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1971 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1972 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1973 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1975 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1977 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1978 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1980 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1981 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1982 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1983 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1985 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1986 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1987 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1988 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1989 same methods for a single role did not work
1990 right (worked just fine with multiple
1992 - added test for this (stevan)
1994 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1995 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1996 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1999 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2000 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2001 - added test for this (t0m)
2004 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2005 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2006 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2009 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2010 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2011 - added test for this (t0m)
2013 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2014 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2015 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2016 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2017 - added test for this (perigrin)
2020 - create method for constructing a role
2021 dynamically (Sartak)
2022 - added test for this (Sartak)
2023 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2024 - added test for this (Sartak)
2027 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2029 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2030 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2031 methods is useful (Sartak)
2033 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2034 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2035 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2038 * Moose::Meta::Class
2039 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2040 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2041 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2042 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2043 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2044 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2047 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2048 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2050 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2051 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2052 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2053 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2054 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2056 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2058 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2059 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2060 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2063 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2064 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2065 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2066 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2067 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2068 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2071 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2072 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2073 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2074 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2075 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2076 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2077 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2078 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2079 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2080 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2081 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2083 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2084 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2087 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2088 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2089 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2090 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2091 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2093 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2095 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2096 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2097 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2099 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2100 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2102 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2103 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2104 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2105 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2108 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2109 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2111 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2113 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2114 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2116 * Moose::Meta::Class
2117 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2118 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2119 a required attribute
2121 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2122 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2123 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2124 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2126 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2127 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2129 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2130 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2131 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2132 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2133 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2134 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2135 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2136 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2138 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2139 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2140 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2142 * Roles and role application
2143 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2144 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2145 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2146 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2147 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2149 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2150 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2153 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2154 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2155 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2156 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2157 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2160 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2161 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2162 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2163 changes in the Moose internals.
2165 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2166 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2167 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2170 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2171 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2172 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2173 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2175 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2176 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2177 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2178 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2180 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2181 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2182 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2183 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2184 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2185 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2186 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2187 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2188 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2189 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2190 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2191 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2192 constraint implementations.
2194 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2198 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2199 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2200 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2201 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2202 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2203 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2204 - added tests for this (rafl)
2206 * Moose::Meta::Class
2207 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2208 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2209 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2210 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2211 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2212 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2213 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2214 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2217 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2218 - added tests for this (thepler)
2220 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2221 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2222 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2223 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2226 * Moose::Meta::Class
2227 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2228 * Moose::Meta::Method
2231 * Moose::Error::Default
2232 * Moose::Error::Croak
2233 * Moose::Error::Confess
2234 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2235 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2236 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2237 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2238 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2239 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2241 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2243 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2244 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2246 * Moose::Unsweetened
2247 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2248 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2249 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2251 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2252 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2253 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2254 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2255 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2258 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2259 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2261 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2262 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2263 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2264 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2267 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2269 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2270 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2272 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2275 - Various bug fixes.
2277 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2278 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2280 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2282 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2283 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2284 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2285 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2286 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2287 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2289 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2290 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2291 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2293 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2294 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2295 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2298 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2299 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2300 dependency to 0.64_07.
2302 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2303 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2304 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2307 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2310 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2311 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2312 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2313 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2314 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2315 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2317 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2318 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2320 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2322 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2323 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2327 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2328 method when that method was provided by another role being
2329 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2330 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2332 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2334 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2335 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2337 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2338 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2339 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2340 - added test for this (t0m)
2342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2343 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2344 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2346 - added test for this (t0m)
2349 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2350 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2351 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2354 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2355 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2357 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2359 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2360 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2362 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2363 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2364 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2366 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2367 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2370 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2371 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2372 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2373 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2377 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2378 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2379 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2382 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2383 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2384 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2385 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2388 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2392 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2393 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2394 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2396 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2397 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2398 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2399 created so that the process can be more easily

2412 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2414 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2415 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2416 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2418 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2419 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2420 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2422 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2423 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2425 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2426 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2429 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2430 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2434 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2435 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2437 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2438 ... this is not my day today ...
2440 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2441 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2442 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2443 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2444 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2447 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2448 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2449 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2450 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2451 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2454 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2456 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2457 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2458 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2459 this is not ever something you want to do
2460 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2461 - added tests for this (stevan)
2464 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2466 - added test for this
2468 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2469 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2470 - added tests for this (wreis)
2472 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2473 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2474 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2475 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2477 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2478 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2479 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2482 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2484 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2486 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2489 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2490 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2491 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2492 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2493 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2494 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2495 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2496 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2497 - added tests for this
2499 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2500 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2501 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2502 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2504 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2506 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2507 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

2520 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2521 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2523 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2525 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2559 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2560 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2562 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2563 - move the ClassName type check code to
2564 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2566 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2567 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2569 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2570 (early morning release engineering)--
2572 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2573 which was causing the indexer to choke
2575 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2576 (late night release engineering)--
2578 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2579 changes in this release
2581 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2582 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2583 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2585 * Moose::Meta::Class
2586 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2587 since it is called so often by &meta
2589 * Moose::Meta::Class
2591 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2592 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2596 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2597 method for immutablization to check if the
2598 destructor object even needs to be created
2601 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2602 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2603 - added more descriptive error message to help
2604 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2605 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2607 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2609 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2610 XS based functionality is now optional
2611 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2612 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2613 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2615 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2616 to take care of this, mostly we added
2617 support for the package_name and name
2618 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2619 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2620 support regexp matching of names
2621 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2622 - tests added for this
2623 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2624 is currently not supported in roles,
2625 but, ... patches welcome
2626 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2627 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2628 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2631 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2632 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2633 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2634 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2635 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2636 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2637 - added test for this
2639 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2640 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2641 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2644 * Moose::Meta::Class
2645 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2649 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2651 - added tests for this
2652 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2653 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2655 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2656 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2657 themselves parameterizable types
2659 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2660 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2661 called by the inlined immutable
2663 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2665 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2666 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2667 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2668 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2670 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2671 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2675 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2676 causing occasional cpantester failures

2682 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2683 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2686 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2687 ->body when looping through the
2688 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2690 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2691 eating the $@ values, and so not
2692 working correctly, it still kind of
2693 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2694 - added tests for this
2696 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2697 - added new recipe for immutable
2698 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2700 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2701 - added new recipe for builder and
2702 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2706 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2709 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2711 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2712 since Module::Install has done that.
2714 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2716 drink more coffee before
2717 doing release engineering
2719 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2720 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2721 modules. This fixes that.
2723 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2724 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2725 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2727 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2728 since we have tests which need the C3

2734 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2735 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2737 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2738 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2739 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2740 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2746 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2747 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2749 * Moose::Meta::Class
2750 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2751 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2753 - added test for this
2755 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2756 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2757 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2758 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2759 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2760 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

2771 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
2772 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
2773 - added tests for this (Sartak)
2774 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
2775 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
2777 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
2778 to allow introspection of traits
2779 - added tests for this
2780 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from
2782 - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has
2783 '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch)
2784 - added tests for this (t0m)
2787 - localize $@ inside DEMOLISHALL to avoid it
2788 eating $@ (found by Ernesto)
2789 - added test for this (thanks to Ernesto)
2791 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2834 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2836 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2837 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2880 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2881 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2884 - added more delegation tests
2885 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2886 support traits and their introspection.
2887 - added tests for this

3127 - added tests for this
3130 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3131 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3170 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3173 - fixed how required methods are handled
3174 when they encounter overriden or modified
3175 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3176 - added tests for this
3178 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3179 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3180 the | always creates a union and so is
3181 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3182 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3184 - added more tests for this
3186 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3189 * Parameterized Types
3190 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3191 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3192 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3193 They can also be nested:
3194 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3195 And work with the type unions as well:
3196 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3198 * Better Framework Extendability
3199 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3200 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3201 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3202 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3205 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3206 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3207 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3208 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3461 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3462 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3463 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3465 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3466 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3469 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3471 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3472 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3473 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3476 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3477 !! for this developer release to work !!
3479 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3480 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3481 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3482 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3483 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3484 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3485 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3486 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3487 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3488 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3489 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3491 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3492 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3493 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3494 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3497 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3499 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3500 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3501 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3503 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3505 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3506 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3509 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3510 called unless they actually need to be.
3511 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3512 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3513 DEMOLISH method present.
3515 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3516 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3517 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3518 type constraint, which allows for a
3519 hand optimized version of the type
3520 constraint to be used when possible.
3521 - Any internally created type constraints
3522 now provide an optimized version as well.
3524 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3526 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3527 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3528 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3530 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3531 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3532 your class namespace of these exported
3535 * Moose::Meta::Class
3536 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3537 comes up during global destruction
3539 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3543 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3546 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3547 - changed how we do type checks so that
3548 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3551 - moved accessor generation methods to
3552 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3553 conform to the API changes from
3556 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3557 - changed how constraints are compiled
3558 so that we do less recursion and more
3559 iteration. This makes the type check
3561 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3564 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3565 - created this from methods formerly found in
3566 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3568 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3569 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3571 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3572 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3574 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3575 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3577 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3579 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3580 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3581 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3582 - added tests for this
3583 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3584 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3585 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3586 - removed tests for this
3588 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3590 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3591 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3592 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3595 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3596 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3597 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3599 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3600 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3601 comments for more info.
3604 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3605 asked questions and common problems
3607 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3608 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3609 - added tests for this
3611 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3612 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3613 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3614 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3616 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3617 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3620 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3621 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3622 is much appreciated :)
3623 - added tests for this
3625 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3626 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3627 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3630 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3631 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3633 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3635 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3636 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3640 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3641 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3642 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3644 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3646 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3649 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3650 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3651 keywords because we need to localize them.
3652 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3654 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3655 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3656 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3659 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3662 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3663 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3664 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3667 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3668 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3669 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3671 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3673 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3674 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3675 bottom of your class file.
3678 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3681 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3683 - improved error message when loading modules so
3684 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3685 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3686 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3689 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3690 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3691 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3693 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3694 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3696 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3697 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3698 turn them on for you.
3699 - added tests for this
3700 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3701 in Moose::Meta::Class
3704 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3705 automatically turned on for you.

3724 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3727 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3728 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3729 - This release works in combination with
3730 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3731 release because it uses the a new
3732 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3733 complete Role implementation. It has
3734 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3735 the the previous CPAN version. This
3736 release also lacks good updated docs,
3737 the official release will have updated docs.
3740 - refactored the keyword exports
3741 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3742 accepts more than one Role at a time
3743 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3744 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3747 - refactored the keyword exports
3748 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3749 accepts more than one Role at a time
3751 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3752 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3753 string enumerations which can be used as
3755 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3758 - more careful checking of params to new()
3761 - much work done on the role composition
3762 - many new tests for conflict detection
3763 and composition edge cases
3764 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3765 looking at the tests
3767 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3768 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3769 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3771 * Moose::Meta::Class
3772 - some small changes to support the new
3774 - some small additions to support Roles
3776 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3777 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3779 - some small changes to support the new
3781 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3782 with the 'handles' option
3783 - added several tests for this
3784 - no docs for this yet
3786 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3788 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3789 thanks to chansen for this commit
3790 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3791 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3792 on a per-attribute basis
3793 - added tests for this
3794 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3795 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3796 experimental feature and probably not finished

3798 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3799 - added tests for this

3814 construct_instance (for the better)
3816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3861 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3863 - added test for this
3866 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
