1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
9 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
10 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
12 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
16 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
18 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
22 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
23 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
24 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
27 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
29 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
33 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
35 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
39 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
40 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
44 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
45 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
46 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
47 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
48 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
53 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
54 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
55 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
56 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
58 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
59 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
60 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
62 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
63 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
64 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
65 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
67 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
68 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
69 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
70 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
72 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
73 package which was deleted. (doy)
75 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
79 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
81 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
85 * Minor documentation fixes.
87 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
90 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
94 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
95 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
97 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
101 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
103 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
107 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
109 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
112 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
116 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
118 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
119 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
123 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
124 more values were required. (rjbs)
126 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
130 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
131 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
135 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
136 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
137 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
138 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
140 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
141 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
142 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
144 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
145 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
148 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
149 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
150 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
151 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
155 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
156 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
157 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
158 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
161 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
165 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
166 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
167 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
169 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
170 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
171 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
173 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
174 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
175 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
177 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
178 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
181 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
182 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
183 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
185 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
186 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
189 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
190 the associated stash. (doy)
194 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
195 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
196 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
197 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
199 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
203 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
204 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
205 the attribute's reference.
209 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
210 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
215 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
216 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
217 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
220 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
221 the Object constraint).
223 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
227 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
228 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
233 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
235 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
239 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
242 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
244 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
248 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
250 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
254 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
257 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
258 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
259 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
261 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
264 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
268 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
270 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
274 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
276 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
280 * Include changes from 2.0010.
282 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
286 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
287 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
291 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
292 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
293 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
298 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
300 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
304 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
305 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
307 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
311 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
313 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
317 * Various packaging issues.
319 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
323 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
324 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
329 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
330 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
331 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
335 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
336 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
337 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
339 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
343 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
344 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
346 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
350 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
351 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
353 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
356 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
357 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
361 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
362 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
364 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
368 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
369 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
373 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
375 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
379 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
381 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
385 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
386 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
388 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
392 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
394 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
398 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
400 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
401 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
403 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
407 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
408 skips every other role. (rjbs)
410 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
411 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
412 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
413 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
414 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
416 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
420 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
421 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
422 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
425 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
430 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
432 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
433 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
435 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
439 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
440 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
441 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
445 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
446 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
448 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
449 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
451 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
452 environments. (doy, mateu)
454 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
458 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
459 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
460 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
461 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
465 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
466 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
468 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
472 * Update conflicts list.
475 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
479 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
480 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
481 details. (Dave Rolsky)
483 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
484 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
485 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
486 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
487 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
491 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
492 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
493 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
494 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
495 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
498 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
502 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
503 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
505 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
508 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
512 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
513 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
514 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
515 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
517 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
518 immutable classes). (mo)
520 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
521 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
522 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
524 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
528 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
530 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
532 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
536 * Fix some indexing issues.
538 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
540 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
544 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
545 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
546 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
547 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
548 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
550 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
551 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
556 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
557 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
558 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
559 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
561 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
562 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
563 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
567 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
568 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
571 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
575 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
576 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
580 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
584 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
585 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
586 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
587 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
590 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
594 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
597 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
601 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
602 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
603 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
606 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
610 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
611 policy. (Chris Prather)
613 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
614 on this new support policy. (doy)
618 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
619 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
620 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
622 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
623 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
625 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
629 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
630 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
631 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
632 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
635 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
639 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
640 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
643 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
647 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
648 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
650 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
651 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
655 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
656 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
657 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
658 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
659 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
660 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
662 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
663 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
665 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
666 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
667 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
668 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
670 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
671 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
673 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
678 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
679 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
681 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
685 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
686 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
687 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
689 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
693 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
694 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
695 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
697 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
698 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
701 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
702 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
705 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
706 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
707 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
709 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
710 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
715 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
716 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
717 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
718 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
720 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
721 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
723 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
724 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
726 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
727 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
728 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
729 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
731 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
732 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
733 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
736 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
737 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
738 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
739 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
741 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
742 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
745 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
746 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
747 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
749 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
753 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
754 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
755 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
757 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
758 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
759 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
762 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
763 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
764 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
766 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
767 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
768 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
770 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
771 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
775 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
776 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
777 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
779 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
780 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
781 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
782 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
784 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
788 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
789 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
790 value is a reference.
792 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
793 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
795 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
799 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
800 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
801 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
803 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
807 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
808 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
812 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
813 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
814 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
816 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
817 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
818 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
820 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
824 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
826 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
830 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
832 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
833 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
838 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
839 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
841 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
842 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
843 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
844 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
845 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
847 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
848 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
849 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
850 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
852 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
856 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
857 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
862 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
864 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
866 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
871 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
873 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
877 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
878 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
879 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
881 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
882 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
883 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
884 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
886 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
887 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
888 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
889 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
890 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
893 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
898 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
899 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
900 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
901 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
902 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
905 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
909 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
912 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
913 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
917 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
918 function (not just method). (doy)
922 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
923 and aren't easily installable/testable.
925 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
929 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
930 to be overridden more easily (doy).
932 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
936 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
937 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
939 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
943 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
944 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
945 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
947 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
951 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
952 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
953 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
955 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
956 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
960 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
961 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
963 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
964 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
968 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
969 is applied to a class (t0m).
971 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
972 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
974 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
977 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
978 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
980 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
981 be much more robust. (doy)
983 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
985 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
988 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
992 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
993 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
995 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
999 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1000 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1002 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1005 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1006 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1007 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1009 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1010 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1011 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1014 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1016 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1020 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1021 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1025 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1027 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1031 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1032 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1036 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1037 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1041 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1043 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1047 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1048 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1052 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1053 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1057 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1058 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1060 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1064 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1065 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1066 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1069 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1073 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1074 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1075 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1076 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1078 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1082 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1083 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1084 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1088 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1089 (Michael G. Schwern)
1091 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1096 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1097 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1101 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1102 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1104 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1105 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1106 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1107 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1109 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1113 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1117 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1118 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1120 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1121 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1122 - Moose::Util::does_role
1123 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1124 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1125 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1127 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1131 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1132 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1133 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1136 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1140 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1141 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1144 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1148 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1149 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1152 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1156 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1158 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1159 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1161 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1162 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1163 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1165 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1166 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1167 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1170 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1171 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1173 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1174 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1175 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1177 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1179 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1180 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1182 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1184 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1187 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1188 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1190 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1191 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1193 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1194 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1195 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1196 dependencies installed.
1198 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1199 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1202 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1204 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1208 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1211 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1212 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1214 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1215 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1216 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1218 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1219 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1222 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1223 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1224 others. (nothingmuch)
1226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1227 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1228 remove_accessors. (doy)
1230 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1231 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1232 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1235 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1237 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1238 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1239 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1240 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1242 * Moose::Meta::Class
1243 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1244 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1247 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1249 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1251 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1252 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1255 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1256 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1257 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1258 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1259 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1261 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1262 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1264 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1265 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1266 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1267 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1270 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1271 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1272 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1273 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1274 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1276 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1277 which were not receiving the value of
1278 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1279 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1280 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1281 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1285 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1286 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1287 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1288 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1289 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1292 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1293 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1294 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1295 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1297 * Moose::Meta::Class
1298 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1299 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1300 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1303 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1304 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1305 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1308 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1309 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1312 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1313 class if you pass it options for
1314 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1315 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1316 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1317 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1318 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1319 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1320 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1321 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1322 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1324 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1325 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1326 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1327 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1328 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1331 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1332 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1333 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1334 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1336 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1337 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1338 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1339 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1340 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1341 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1344 * Moose::Error::Croak
1345 * Moose::Error::Confess
1346 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1347 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1350 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1353 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1354 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1355 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1357 * Moose::Meta::Class
1358 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1361 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1362 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1363 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1365 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1366 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1367 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1368 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1369 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1371 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1372 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1375 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1377 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1378 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1381 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1382 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1384 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1385 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1386 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1387 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1389 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1390 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1391 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1392 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1393 using it for new code!
1395 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1396 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1397 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1398 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1400 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1401 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1402 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1403 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1404 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1405 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1406 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1407 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1410 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1413 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1414 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1417 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1418 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1420 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1421 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1422 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1424 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1426 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1427 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1429 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1430 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1431 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1433 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1434 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1435 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1438 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1440 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1441 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1442 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1443 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1445 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1447 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1450 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1451 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1452 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1454 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1455 associated_methods. (hdp)
1456 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1457 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1458 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1459 misspelled) arguments
1461 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1462 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1463 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1464 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1467 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1468 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1470 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1473 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1474 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1475 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1478 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1479 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1481 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1482 * Moose::Meta::Class
1483 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1484 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1486 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1487 * Moose::Manual::Types
1488 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1489 string parsing rathole (mst)
1491 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1492 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1493 using plain objects instead
1495 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1496 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1497 that's what we need.
1499 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1500 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1501 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1502 three times today (perigrin)
1503 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1504 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1506 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1507 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1508 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1509 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1512 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1513 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1514 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1515 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1516 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1517 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1520 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1521 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1522 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1523 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1526 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1528 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1531 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1533 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1536 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1537 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1538 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1542 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1543 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1546 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1547 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1549 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1550 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1551 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1553 * Moose::Unsweetened
1554 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1556 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1557 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1560 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1564 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1565 methods during global destruction (doy)
1567 * Moose::Meta::Class
1568 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1569 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1570 consumption (Sartak)
1572 * Moose::Meta::Class
1573 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1574 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1577 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1578 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1581 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1582 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1584 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1586 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1590 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1591 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1592 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1595 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1596 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1597 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1600 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1602 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1603 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1604 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1607 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1608 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1609 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1610 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1612 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1613 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1614 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1617 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1620 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1621 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1622 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1626 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1627 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1629 * Moose::Meta::Class
1630 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1632 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1634 * Moose::Meta::Class
1635 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1636 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1639 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1640 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1643 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1644 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1647 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1650 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1652 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1653 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1656 * Moose::Meta::Class
1657 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1659 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1660 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1663 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1664 * More deprecations and renamings
1665 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1666 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1667 when an object is constructed)
1670 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1671 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1672 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1674 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1675 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1676 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1677 feature, and it works again.
1680 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1682 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1684 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1685 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1686 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1689 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1690 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1691 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1692 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1695 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1696 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1697 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1698 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1701 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1702 metaclass object. (hdp)
1704 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1705 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1706 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1707 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1708 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1709 point out this fact. (hdp)
1711 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1712 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1714 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1715 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1717 * Moose::Meta::Class
1718 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1719 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1720 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1721 called during instance construction were passed the
1722 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1723 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1725 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1726 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1730 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1731 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1734 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1735 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1736 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1737 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1738 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1740 - Moose::Meta::Class
1741 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1743 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1744 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1745 when an object is constructed)
1746 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1748 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1749 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1750 when an object is constructed)
1751 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1752 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1753 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1756 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1758 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1759 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1761 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1763 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1764 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1765 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1767 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1768 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1769 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1771 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1773 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1774 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1776 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1777 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1780 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1781 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1784 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1785 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1786 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1788 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1789 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1793 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1794 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1795 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1797 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1798 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1801 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1802 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1803 with recommended workarounds.
1805 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1806 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1808 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1809 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1810 (yes, spelled like that).
1812 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1813 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1815 * Moose::Meta::Class
1816 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1817 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1819 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1821 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1822 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1823 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1824 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1825 instead. Reported by doy.
1827 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1829 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1830 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1832 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1833 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1834 message) is now deprecated.
1835 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1836 often got it wrong. For example:
1838 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1840 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1844 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1845 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1846 bite you in weird cases.
1848 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1849 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1850 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1851 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1853 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1854 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1858 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1861 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1862 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1865 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1866 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1869 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1872 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1873 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1874 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1875 - added tests for this (stevan)
1877 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1878 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1879 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1880 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1884 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1885 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1886 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1887 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1889 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1890 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1891 - added tests for this (rafl)
1893 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1894 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1895 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1896 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1900 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1901 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1905 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1906 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1908 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1910 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1911 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1913 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1914 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1915 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1916 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1917 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1919 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1920 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1921 error message did not specify the attribute name
1924 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1926 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1928 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1929 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1930 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1932 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1933 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1936 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1938 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1939 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1940 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1941 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1943 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1945 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1946 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1947 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1948 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1950 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1951 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1952 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1955 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1956 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1957 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1958 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1960 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1961 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1962 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1963 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1964 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1966 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1967 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1968 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1969 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1970 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1971 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1973 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1974 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1975 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1976 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1977 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1978 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1981 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1983 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1984 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1985 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1986 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1989 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1992 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1996 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1997 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1999 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2000 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2001 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2002 guts. (nothingmuch).
2004 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2005 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2006 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2008 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2009 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2010 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2011 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2013 * Moose::Meta::Class
2014 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2017 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2018 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2020 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2021 * Moose::Unsweetened
2022 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2025 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2026 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2027 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2028 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2029 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2030 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2032 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2033 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2034 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2035 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2036 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2037 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2038 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2039 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2040 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2041 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2043 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2045 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2046 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2048 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2049 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2050 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2051 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2054 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2055 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2056 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2057 same methods for a single role did not work
2058 right (worked just fine with multiple
2060 - added test for this (stevan)
2062 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2063 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2064 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2067 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2068 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2069 - added test for this (t0m)
2072 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2073 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2074 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2076 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2077 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2078 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2079 - added test for this (t0m)
2081 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2082 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2083 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2084 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2085 - added test for this (perigrin)
2088 - create method for constructing a role
2089 dynamically (Sartak)
2090 - added test for this (Sartak)
2091 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2092 - added test for this (Sartak)
2095 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2097 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2098 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2099 methods is useful (Sartak)
2101 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2103 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2106 * Moose::Meta::Class
2107 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2108 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2109 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2110 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2111 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2112 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2115 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2116 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2118 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2119 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2120 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2121 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2122 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2124 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2126 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2127 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2128 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2131 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2132 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2133 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2134 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2135 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2136 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2139 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2140 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2141 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2142 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2143 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2144 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2145 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2146 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2147 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2148 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2149 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2151 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2152 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2155 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2156 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2157 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2158 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2159 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2161 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2163 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2164 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2165 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2167 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2168 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2170 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2171 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2172 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2173 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2176 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2177 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2179 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2181 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2182 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2184 * Moose::Meta::Class
2185 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2186 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2187 a required attribute
2189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2190 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2191 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2192 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2194 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2195 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2197 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2198 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2199 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2200 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2201 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2202 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2203 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2204 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2206 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2207 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2208 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2210 * Roles and role application
2211 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2212 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2213 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2214 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2215 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2217 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2218 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2221 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2222 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2223 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2224 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2225 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2228 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2229 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2230 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2231 changes in the Moose internals.
2233 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2234 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2235 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2238 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2239 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2240 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2241 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2243 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2244 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2245 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2246 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2248 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2249 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2250 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2251 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2252 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2253 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2254 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2255 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2256 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2257 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2258 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2259 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2260 constraint implementations.
2262 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2266 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2267 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2268 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2269 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2270 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2271 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2272 - added tests for this (rafl)
2274 * Moose::Meta::Class
2275 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2276 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2277 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2278 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2279 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2280 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2281 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2282 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2285 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2286 - added tests for this (thepler)
2288 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2289 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2290 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2291 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2294 * Moose::Meta::Class
2295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2296 * Moose::Meta::Method
2299 * Moose::Error::Default
2300 * Moose::Error::Croak
2301 * Moose::Error::Confess
2302 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2303 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2304 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2305 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2306 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2307 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2309 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2311 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2312 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2314 * Moose::Unsweetened
2315 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2316 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2317 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2319 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2320 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2321 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2322 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2323 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2326 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2327 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2329 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2330 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2331 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2332 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2335 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2337 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2338 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2340 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2343 - Various bug fixes.
2345 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2346 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2348 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2350 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2351 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2352 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2353 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2354 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2355 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2357 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2358 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2359 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2361 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2362 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2363 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2366 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2367 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2368 dependency to 0.64_07.
2370 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2371 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2372 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2374 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2375 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2378 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2379 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2380 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2381 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2382 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2383 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2385 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2386 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2388 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2390 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2391 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2395 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2396 method when that method was provided by another role being
2397 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2398 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2400 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2402 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2403 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2406 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2407 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2408 - added test for this (t0m)
2410 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2411 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2412 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2414 - added test for this (t0m)
2417 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2418 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2419 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2422 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2423 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2425 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2427 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2428 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2430 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2431 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2432 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2434 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2435 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2438 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2439 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2440 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2441 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2445 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2446 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2447 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2450 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2451 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2452 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2453 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2456 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2460 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2461 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2462 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2464 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2466 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2467 created so that the process can be more easily
2468 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2470 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2471 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2472 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2473 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2475 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2476 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2479 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2480 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2482 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2483 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2484 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2486 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2487 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2488 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2490 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2491 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2493 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2494 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2497 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2498 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2502 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2503 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2505 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2506 ... this is not my day today ...
2508 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2509 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2510 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2511 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2512 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2515 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2516 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2517 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2518 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2519 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2522 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2524 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2525 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2526 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2527 this is not ever something you want to do
2528 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2529 - added tests for this (stevan)
2532 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2534 - added test for this
2536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2537 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2538 - added tests for this (wreis)
2540 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2541 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2542 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2543 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2545 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2546 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2547 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2550 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2552 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2554 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2557 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2558 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2559 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2560 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2561 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2562 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2563 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2564 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2565 - added tests for this
2567 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2568 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2569 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2570 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2572 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2574 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2575 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2576 - added tests for this (sartak)
2577 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2578 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2581 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2583 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2584 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2586 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2587 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2588 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2589 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2591 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2593 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2594 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2597 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2598 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2599 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2601 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2602 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2603 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2605 - added docs for this (TODO).
2606 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2607 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2608 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2609 - fix builder and default both being used
2614 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2616 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2617 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2618 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2622 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2626 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2627 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2628 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2630 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2631 - move the ClassName type check code to
2632 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2634 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2635 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2637 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2638 (early morning release engineering)--
2640 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2641 which was causing the indexer to choke
2643 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2644 (late night release engineering)--
2646 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2647 changes in this release
2649 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2650 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2651 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2653 * Moose::Meta::Class
2654 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2655 since it is called so often by &meta
2657 * Moose::Meta::Class
2659 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2660 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2664 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2665 method for immutablization to check if the
2666 destructor object even needs to be created
2669 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2670 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2671 - added more descriptive error message to help
2672 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2673 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2675 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2677 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2678 XS based functionality is now optional
2679 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2680 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2681 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2683 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2684 to take care of this, mostly we added
2685 support for the package_name and name
2686 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2687 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2688 support regexp matching of names
2689 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2690 - tests added for this
2691 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2692 is currently not supported in roles,
2693 but, ... patches welcome
2694 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2695 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2696 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2699 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2700 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2701 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2702 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2703 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2704 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2705 - added test for this
2707 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2708 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2709 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2712 * Moose::Meta::Class
2713 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2717 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2719 - added tests for this
2720 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2721 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2723 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2724 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2725 themselves parameterizable types
2727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2728 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2729 called by the inlined immutable
2731 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2733 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2734 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2735 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2736 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2738 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2739 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2743 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2744 causing occasional cpantester failures
2745 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2746 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2748 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2750 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2751 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2754 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2755 ->body when looping through the
2756 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2758 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2759 eating the $@ values, and so not
2760 working correctly, it still kind of
2761 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2762 - added tests for this
2764 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2765 - added new recipe for immutable
2766 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2768 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2769 - added new recipe for builder and
2770 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2772 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2773 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2774 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2777 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2779 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2780 since Module::Install has done that.
2782 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2784 drink more coffee before
2785 doing release engineering
2787 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2788 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

2902 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2904 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3195 - added tests for this
3198 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3199 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3238 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3241 - fixed how required methods are handled
3242 when they encounter overriden or modified
3243 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3244 - added tests for this
3246 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3247 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3248 the | always creates a union and so is
3249 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3250 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3252 - added more tests for this
3254 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3257 * Parameterized Types
3258 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3259 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3260 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3261 They can also be nested:
3262 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3263 And work with the type unions as well:
3264 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3266 * Better Framework Extendability
3267 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3268 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3269 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3270 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3273 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3274 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3275 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3276 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3460 - altered unimport tests to handle this
3463 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
3465 * Moose::Meta::Class
3466 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT

3470 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3471 where not handled correctly in roles
3472 - added tests for this
3474 * Moose::Meta::Class
3475 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3476 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3477 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3479 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3480 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3482 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3483 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3484 so this release is just to fix that.
3487 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3488 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3489 (thanks to konobi for this)
3490 - added tests and docs
3492 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3493 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3495 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3496 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3497 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3498 - added tests for this
3499 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3500 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3501 functions to facilitate introspection.
3503 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3504 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3505 to build the list of delegated methods
3506 correctly (and not override important
3507 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3509 - added tests and docs for this
3510 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3511 so that you can actually document your
3512 attributes and inspect them through the
3514 - added tests and docs for this
3516 * Moose::Meta::Class
3517 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3518 it will first look in for the class in the
3519 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3520 then default to just loading $name.
3521 - added tests and docs for this
3523 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3524 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3525 - added test for this
3528 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3529 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3530 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3531 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3533 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3534 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3537 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3539 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3540 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3541 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3544 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3545 !! for this developer release to work !!
3547 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3548 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3549 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3550 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3551 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3552 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3553 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3554 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3555 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3556 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3557 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3559 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3560 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3561 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3562 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3565 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3566 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3567 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3568 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3569 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3571 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3573 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3574 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3577 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3578 called unless they actually need to be.
3579 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3580 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3581 DEMOLISH method present.
3583 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3584 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3585 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3586 type constraint, which allows for a
3587 hand optimized version of the type
3588 constraint to be used when possible.
3589 - Any internally created type constraints
3590 now provide an optimized version as well.
3592 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3594 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3595 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3596 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3598 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3599 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3600 your class namespace of these exported
3603 * Moose::Meta::Class
3604 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3605 comes up during global destruction
3607 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3611 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3614 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3615 - changed how we do type checks so that
3616 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3619 - moved accessor generation methods to
3620 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3621 conform to the API changes from
3624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3625 - changed how constraints are compiled
3626 so that we do less recursion and more
3627 iteration. This makes the type check
3629 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3632 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3633 - created this from methods formerly found in
3634 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3636 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3637 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3639 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3640 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3642 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3643 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3645 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3648 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3649 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3650 - added tests for this
3651 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3652 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3653 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3654 - removed tests for this
3656 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3658 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3659 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3660 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3663 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3664 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3665 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3667 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3668 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3669 comments for more info.
3672 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3673 asked questions and common problems
3675 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3676 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3677 - added tests for this
3679 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3680 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3681 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3682 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3684 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3685 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3688 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3689 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3690 is much appreciated :)
3691 - added tests for this
3693 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3694 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3695 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3698 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3699 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3701 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3703 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3704 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3708 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3709 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3710 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3712 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3714 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3717 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3718 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3719 keywords because we need to localize them.
3720 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3722 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3723 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3724 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3727 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3730 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3731 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3732 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3735 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3736 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3737 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3739 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3741 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3742 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3743 bottom of your class file.
3746 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3749 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3751 - improved error message when loading modules so
3752 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3753 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3754 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3757 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3758 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3759 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3761 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3762 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3764 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3765 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3766 turn them on for you.
3767 - added tests for this

3796 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3797 - This release works in combination with
3798 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3799 release because it uses the a new
3800 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3801 complete Role implementation. It has
3802 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3803 the the previous CPAN version. This
3804 release also lacks good updated docs,
3805 the official release will have updated docs.
3808 - refactored the keyword exports
3809 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3810 accepts more than one Role at a time

3816 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3817 accepts more than one Role at a time
3819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3821 string enumerations which can be used as
3823 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3826 - more careful checking of params to new()
3829 - much work done on the role composition
3830 - many new tests for conflict detection
3831 and composition edge cases
3832 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3833 looking at the tests
3835 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3836 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3837 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3839 * Moose::Meta::Class

3842 - some small additions to support Roles
3844 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3845 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3847 - some small changes to support the new
3849 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3850 with the 'handles' option
3851 - added several tests for this
3852 - no docs for this yet

3858 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3859 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3860 on a per-attribute basis
3861 - added tests for this
3862 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3863 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3864 experimental feature and probably not finished
