1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
10 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
11 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
15 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
16 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
17 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
18 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
21 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
22 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
25 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
28 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
29 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
30 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
31 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
35 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
36 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
37 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
38 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
41 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
45 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
46 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
49 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
50 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
53 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
54 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
55 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
57 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
58 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
61 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
62 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
63 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
65 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
66 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
69 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
70 the associated stash. (doy)
74 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
75 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
76 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
77 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
79 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
83 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
84 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
85 the attribute's reference.
89 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
90 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
95 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
96 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
97 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
100 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
101 the Object constraint).
103 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
107 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
108 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
113 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
115 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
119 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
122 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
124 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
128 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
130 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
134 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
137 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
138 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
139 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
141 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
144 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
148 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
150 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
154 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
156 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
160 * Include changes from 2.0010.
162 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
166 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
167 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
171 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
172 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
173 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
178 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
180 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
184 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
185 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
187 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
191 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
193 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
197 * Various packaging issues.
199 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
203 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
204 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
209 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
210 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
211 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
215 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
216 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
217 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
219 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
223 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
224 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
226 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
230 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
231 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
233 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
236 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
237 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
241 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
242 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
244 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
248 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
249 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
253 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
255 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
259 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
261 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
265 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
266 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
268 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
272 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
274 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
278 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
280 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
281 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
283 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
287 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
288 skips every other role. (rjbs)
290 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
291 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
292 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
293 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
294 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
296 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
300 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
301 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
302 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
305 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
310 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
312 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
313 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
315 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
319 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
320 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
321 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
325 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
326 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
328 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
329 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
331 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
332 environments. (doy, mateu)
334 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
338 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
339 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
340 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
341 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
345 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
346 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
348 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
352 * Update conflicts list.
355 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
359 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
360 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
361 details. (Dave Rolsky)
363 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
364 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
365 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
366 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
367 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
371 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
372 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
373 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
374 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
375 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
378 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
382 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
383 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
385 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
388 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
392 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
393 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
394 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
395 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
397 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
398 immutable classes). (mo)
400 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
401 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
402 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
404 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
408 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
410 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
412 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
416 * Fix some indexing issues.
418 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
420 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
424 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
425 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
426 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
427 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
428 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
430 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
431 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
436 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
437 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
438 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
439 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
441 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
442 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
443 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
447 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
448 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
451 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
455 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
456 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
460 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
464 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
465 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
466 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
467 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
470 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
474 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
477 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
481 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
482 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
483 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
486 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
490 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
491 policy. (Chris Prather)
493 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
494 on this new support policy. (doy)
498 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
499 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
500 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
502 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
503 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
505 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
509 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
510 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
511 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
512 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
515 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
519 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
520 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
523 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
527 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
528 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
530 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
531 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
535 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
536 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
537 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
538 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
539 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
540 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
542 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
543 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
545 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
546 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
547 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
548 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
550 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
551 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
553 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
558 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
559 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
561 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
565 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
566 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
567 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
569 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
573 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
574 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
575 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
577 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
578 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
581 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
582 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
585 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
586 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
587 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
589 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
590 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
595 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
596 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
597 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
598 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
600 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
601 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
603 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
604 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
606 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
607 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
608 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
609 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
611 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
612 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
613 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
616 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
617 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
618 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
619 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
621 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
622 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
625 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
626 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
627 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
629 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
633 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
634 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
635 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
637 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
638 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
639 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
642 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
643 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
644 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
646 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
647 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
648 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
650 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
651 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
655 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
656 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
657 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
659 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
660 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
661 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
662 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
664 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
668 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
669 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
670 value is a reference.
672 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
673 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
675 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
679 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
680 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
681 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
683 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
687 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
688 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
692 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
693 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
694 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
696 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
697 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
698 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
700 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
704 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
706 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
710 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
712 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
713 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
718 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
719 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
721 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
722 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
723 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
724 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
725 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
727 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
728 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
729 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
730 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
732 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
736 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
737 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
742 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
744 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
746 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
751 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
753 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
757 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
758 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
759 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
761 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
762 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
763 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
764 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
766 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
767 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
768 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
769 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
770 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
773 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
778 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
779 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
780 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
781 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
782 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
785 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
789 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
792 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
793 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
797 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
798 function (not just method). (doy)
802 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
803 and aren't easily installable/testable.
805 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
809 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
810 to be overridden more easily (doy).
812 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
816 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
817 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
819 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
823 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
824 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
825 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
827 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
831 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
832 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
833 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
835 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
836 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
840 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
841 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
843 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
844 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
848 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
849 is applied to a class (t0m).
851 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
852 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
854 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
857 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
858 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
860 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
861 be much more robust. (doy)
863 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
865 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
868 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
872 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
873 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
875 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
879 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
880 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
882 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
885 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
886 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
887 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
889 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
890 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
891 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
894 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
896 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
900 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
901 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
905 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
907 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
912 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
916 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
917 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
921 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
923 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
927 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
928 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
932 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
933 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
937 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
938 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
940 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
944 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
945 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
946 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
949 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
953 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
954 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
955 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
956 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
958 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
962 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
963 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
964 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
968 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
971 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
975 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
976 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
977 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
981 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
982 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
984 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
985 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
986 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
987 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
989 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
993 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
997 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
998 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1000 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1001 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1002 - Moose::Util::does_role
1003 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1004 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1005 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1007 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1011 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1012 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1013 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1016 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1020 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1021 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1024 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1028 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1029 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1032 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1036 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1038 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1039 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1041 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1042 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1043 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1045 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1046 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1047 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1050 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1051 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1053 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1054 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1055 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1057 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1059 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1060 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1062 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1064 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1067 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1068 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1070 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1071 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1073 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1074 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1075 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1076 dependencies installed.
1078 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1079 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1082 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1084 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1088 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1090 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1091 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1092 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1094 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1095 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1096 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1098 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1099 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1102 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1103 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1104 others. (nothingmuch)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1107 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1108 remove_accessors. (doy)
1110 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1111 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1112 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1115 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1117 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1118 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1119 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1120 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1122 * Moose::Meta::Class
1123 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1124 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1126 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1127 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1129 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1131 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1132 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1135 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1136 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1137 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1138 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1139 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1141 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1142 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1143 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1144 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1145 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1146 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1147 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1150 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1151 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1152 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1153 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1154 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1156 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1157 which were not receiving the value of
1158 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1159 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1160 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1161 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1165 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1166 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1167 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1168 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1169 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1172 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1173 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1174 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1175 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1177 * Moose::Meta::Class
1178 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1179 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1180 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1183 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1184 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1185 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1187 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1188 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1189 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1192 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1193 class if you pass it options for
1194 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1195 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1196 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1197 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1198 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1199 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1200 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1201 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1202 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1205 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1206 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1207 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1208 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1211 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1213 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1214 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1217 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1218 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1219 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1220 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1221 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1224 * Moose::Error::Croak
1225 * Moose::Error::Confess
1226 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1227 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1230 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1233 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1234 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1235 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Class
1238 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1241 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1242 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1243 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1245 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1246 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1247 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1248 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1249 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1251 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1252 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1255 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1257 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1258 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1261 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1262 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1264 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1265 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1266 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1267 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1269 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1270 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1271 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1272 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1273 using it for new code!
1275 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1276 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1277 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1278 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1280 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1281 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1282 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1283 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1284 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1285 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1286 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1287 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1290 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1293 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1294 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1297 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1298 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1300 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1301 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1302 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1304 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1305 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1306 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1307 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1309 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1310 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1311 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1313 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1314 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1315 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1318 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1319 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1320 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1321 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1322 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1323 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1325 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1327 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1331 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1332 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1334 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1335 associated_methods. (hdp)
1336 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1337 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1338 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1339 misspelled) arguments
1341 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1342 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1343 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1344 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1346 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1347 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1348 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1350 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1354 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1355 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1358 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1359 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1361 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1362 * Moose::Meta::Class
1363 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1364 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1366 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1367 * Moose::Manual::Types
1368 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1369 string parsing rathole (mst)
1371 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1372 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1373 using plain objects instead
1375 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1376 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1377 that's what we need.
1379 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1380 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1381 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1382 three times today (perigrin)
1383 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1384 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1386 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1387 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1388 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1389 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1392 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1393 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1394 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1395 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1396 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1397 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1400 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1401 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1402 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1403 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1406 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1408 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1411 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1413 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1416 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1417 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1418 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1422 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1423 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1426 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1427 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1429 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1430 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1431 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1433 * Moose::Unsweetened
1434 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1436 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1437 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1440 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1444 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1445 methods during global destruction (doy)
1447 * Moose::Meta::Class
1448 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1449 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1450 consumption (Sartak)
1452 * Moose::Meta::Class
1453 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1454 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1457 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1458 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1461 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1462 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1464 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1466 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1470 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1471 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1472 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1475 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1476 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1477 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1480 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1482 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1483 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1484 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1487 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1488 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1489 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1490 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1492 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1493 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1494 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1497 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1500 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1501 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1502 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1506 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1507 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1509 * Moose::Meta::Class
1510 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1512 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1514 * Moose::Meta::Class
1515 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1516 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1519 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1520 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1523 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1524 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1527 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1530 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1532 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1533 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1536 * Moose::Meta::Class
1537 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1539 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1540 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1543 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1544 * More deprecations and renamings
1545 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1546 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1547 when an object is constructed)
1550 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1551 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1552 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1554 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1555 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1556 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1557 feature, and it works again.
1560 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1562 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1564 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1565 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1566 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1568 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1569 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1570 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1571 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1572 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1574 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1575 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1576 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1577 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1578 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1581 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1582 metaclass object. (hdp)
1584 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1585 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1586 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1587 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1588 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1589 point out this fact. (hdp)
1591 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1592 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1594 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1595 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1597 * Moose::Meta::Class
1598 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1599 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1600 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1601 called during instance construction were passed the
1602 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1603 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1605 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1606 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1609 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1610 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1611 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1614 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1615 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1616 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1617 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1618 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1620 - Moose::Meta::Class
1621 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1623 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1624 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1625 when an object is constructed)
1626 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1628 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1629 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1630 when an object is constructed)
1631 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1632 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1633 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1636 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1638 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1639 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1641 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1643 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1644 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1645 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1647 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1648 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1649 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1651 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1653 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1654 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1656 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1657 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1661 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1664 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1665 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1666 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1668 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1669 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1673 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1674 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1675 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1677 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1678 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1681 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1682 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1683 with recommended workarounds.
1685 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1686 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1689 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1690 (yes, spelled like that).
1692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1693 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1695 * Moose::Meta::Class
1696 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1697 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1699 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1701 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1702 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1703 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1704 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1705 instead. Reported by doy.
1707 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1709 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1710 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1712 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1713 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1714 message) is now deprecated.
1715 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1716 often got it wrong. For example:
1718 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1720 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1724 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1725 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1726 bite you in weird cases.
1728 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1729 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1730 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1731 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1734 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1738 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1741 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1742 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1745 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1746 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1748 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1749 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1752 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1753 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1754 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1755 - added tests for this (stevan)
1757 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1758 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1759 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1760 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1764 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1765 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1766 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1767 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1769 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1770 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1771 - added tests for this (rafl)
1773 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1774 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1775 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1776 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1780 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1781 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1784 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1785 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1786 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1788 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1790 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1791 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1793 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1794 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1795 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1796 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1797 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1799 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1800 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1801 error message did not specify the attribute name
1804 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1806 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1808 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1809 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1810 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1812 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1813 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1816 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1818 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1819 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1820 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1821 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1823 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1825 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1826 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1827 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1828 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1830 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1831 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1832 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1834 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1835 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1836 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1837 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1838 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1840 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1841 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1842 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1843 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1844 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1846 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1847 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1848 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1849 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1850 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1851 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1853 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1854 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1855 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1856 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1857 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1858 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1860 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1861 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1863 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1864 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1865 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1866 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1868 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1869 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1872 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1876 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1877 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1879 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1880 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1881 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1882 guts. (nothingmuch).
1884 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1885 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1886 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1888 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1889 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1890 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1891 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1893 * Moose::Meta::Class
1894 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1897 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1898 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1900 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1901 * Moose::Unsweetened
1902 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1905 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1906 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1907 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1908 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1909 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1910 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1912 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1913 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1914 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1915 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1916 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1917 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1918 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1919 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1920 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1921 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1925 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1926 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1929 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1930 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1931 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1933 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1934 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1935 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1936 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1937 same methods for a single role did not work
1938 right (worked just fine with multiple
1940 - added test for this (stevan)
1942 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1943 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1944 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1947 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1948 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1949 - added test for this (t0m)
1952 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1953 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1954 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1957 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1958 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1959 - added test for this (t0m)
1961 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1962 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1963 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1964 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1965 - added test for this (perigrin)
1968 - create method for constructing a role
1969 dynamically (Sartak)
1970 - added test for this (Sartak)
1971 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1972 - added test for this (Sartak)
1975 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1977 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1978 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1979 methods is useful (Sartak)
1981 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1982 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1983 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1986 * Moose::Meta::Class
1987 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1988 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1989 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1990 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1991 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1992 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1995 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1996 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1998 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1999 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2000 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2001 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2002 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2006 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2007 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2008 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2011 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2012 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2013 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2014 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2015 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2016 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2020 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2021 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2022 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2023 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2024 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2025 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2026 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2027 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2028 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2029 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2031 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2032 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2035 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2036 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2037 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2038 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2039 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2041 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2043 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2044 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2045 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2047 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2048 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2050 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2051 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2052 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2053 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2056 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2057 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2059 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2061 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2062 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2064 * Moose::Meta::Class
2065 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2066 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2067 a required attribute
2069 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2070 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2071 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2072 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2074 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2075 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2077 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2078 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2079 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2080 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2081 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2082 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2083 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2084 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2086 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2087 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2088 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2090 * Roles and role application
2091 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2092 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2093 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2094 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2095 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2097 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2098 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2101 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2102 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2103 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2104 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2105 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2108 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2109 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2110 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2111 changes in the Moose internals.
2113 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2115 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2118 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2119 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2120 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2121 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2123 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2124 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2125 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2126 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2128 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2129 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2130 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2131 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2132 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2133 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2134 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2135 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2136 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2137 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2138 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2139 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2140 constraint implementations.
2142 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2146 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2147 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2148 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2149 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2150 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2151 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2152 - added tests for this (rafl)
2154 * Moose::Meta::Class
2155 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2156 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2157 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2158 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2159 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2160 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2161 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2162 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2165 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2166 - added tests for this (thepler)
2168 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2169 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2170 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2171 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2174 * Moose::Meta::Class
2175 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2176 * Moose::Meta::Method
2179 * Moose::Error::Default
2180 * Moose::Error::Croak
2181 * Moose::Error::Confess
2182 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2183 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2184 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2185 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2186 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2187 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2189 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2191 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2192 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2194 * Moose::Unsweetened
2195 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2196 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2197 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2200 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2201 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2202 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2203 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2206 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2207 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2209 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2210 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2211 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2212 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2215 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2217 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2218 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.

2230 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2231 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2232 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2233 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2234 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2235 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2251 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2252 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2254 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2255 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2258 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2259 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2260 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2261 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2262 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2263 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2265 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2266 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2268 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2270 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2271 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2275 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2276 method when that method was provided by another role being
2277 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2278 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2280 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2287 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2288 - added test for this (t0m)
2290 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2291 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2292 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2294 - added test for this (t0m)
2297 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2298 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2299 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2302 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2303 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2305 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2307 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2308 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2310 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2311 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2312 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2314 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2315 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2318 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1

2321 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2325 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2326 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2327 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2331 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2332 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2333 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2336 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2340 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2345 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2346 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2347 created so that the process can be more easily

2382 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2383 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2385 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2386 ... this is not my day today ...
2388 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2389 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2390 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2391 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2392 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2395 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2396 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2397 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2398 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2399 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2402 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2404 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2405 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2406 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2407 this is not ever something you want to do
2408 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2409 - added tests for this (stevan)
2412 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2414 - added test for this

2423 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2425 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2426 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2427 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2430 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2432 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2434 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2437 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2438 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2439 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2440 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2441 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2442 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2443 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2444 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2445 - added tests for this
2447 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2448 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2449 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2450 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2452 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2521 which was causing the indexer to choke
2523 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2524 (late night release engineering)--
2526 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2527 changes in this release

2537 * Moose::Meta::Class
2539 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2540 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2543 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2544 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2545 method for immutablization to check if the
2546 destructor object even needs to be created
2549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2550 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2551 - added more descriptive error message to help
2552 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2553 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2555 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2557 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2558 XS based functionality is now optional
2559 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2560 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2561 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2563 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2564 to take care of this, mostly we added
2565 support for the package_name and name
2566 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2567 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2568 support regexp matching of names
2569 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2570 - tests added for this
2571 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2572 is currently not supported in roles,
2573 but, ... patches welcome
2574 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2575 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2576 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2579 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2580 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2581 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2582 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2583 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2584 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2585 - added test for this
2587 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2588 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2589 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2592 * Moose::Meta::Class
2593 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2597 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2599 - added tests for this
2600 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2601 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2603 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2604 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2605 themselves parameterizable types
2607 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2609 called by the inlined immutable
2611 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2613 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2614 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2615 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2616 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2618 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2619 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2631 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2634 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2635 ->body when looping through the
2636 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2638 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2639 eating the $@ values, and so not
2640 working correctly, it still kind of
2641 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2642 - added tests for this
2644 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2645 - added new recipe for immutable
2646 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2648 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2664 drink more coffee before
2665 doing release engineering
2667 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2668 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr

2701 - added test for this
2703 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2785 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2786 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2787 officially support it.
2788 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2789 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2792 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2793 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2824 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2826 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2827 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2828 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2829 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2830 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2832 - added more delegation tests
2833 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2834 support traits and their introspection.
2835 - added tests for this

3075 - added tests for this
3078 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3079 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3118 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3121 - fixed how required methods are handled
3122 when they encounter overriden or modified
3123 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3124 - added tests for this
3126 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3127 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3128 the | always creates a union and so is
3129 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3130 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3132 - added more tests for this
3134 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3137 * Parameterized Types
3138 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3139 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3140 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3141 They can also be nested:
3142 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3143 And work with the type unions as well:
3144 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3146 * Better Framework Extendability
3147 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3148 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3149 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3150 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3153 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3154 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3155 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3156 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3390 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3391 so that you can actually document your
3392 attributes and inspect them through the

3396 * Moose::Meta::Class
3397 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3398 it will first look in for the class in the
3399 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3400 then default to just loading $name.
3401 - added tests and docs for this
3403 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3404 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3405 - added test for this
3408 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3410 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3411 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3413 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3414 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3417 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3419 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3420 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3421 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3424 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3425 !! for this developer release to work !!
3427 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3428 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3429 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3430 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3431 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3432 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3433 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3434 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3435 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3436 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3437 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3439 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3440 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3441 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3442 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3445 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3446 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3447 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3448 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3449 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3451 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3453 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3454 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3457 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3458 called unless they actually need to be.
3459 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3460 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3461 DEMOLISH method present.
3463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3465 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3466 type constraint, which allows for a
3467 hand optimized version of the type
3468 constraint to be used when possible.
3469 - Any internally created type constraints
3470 now provide an optimized version as well.
3472 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3474 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3475 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3476 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3478 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3479 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3480 your class namespace of these exported
3483 * Moose::Meta::Class
3484 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3485 comes up during global destruction
3487 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3491 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3494 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3495 - changed how we do type checks so that
3496 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3499 - moved accessor generation methods to
3500 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3501 conform to the API changes from
3504 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3505 - changed how constraints are compiled
3506 so that we do less recursion and more
3507 iteration. This makes the type check
3509 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3512 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3513 - created this from methods formerly found in
3514 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3516 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3517 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3519 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3520 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3522 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3523 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3525 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3528 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3529 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3530 - added tests for this
3531 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3532 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3533 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3534 - removed tests for this
3536 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3538 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3539 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3540 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3543 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3544 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3545 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3547 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3548 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3549 comments for more info.
3552 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3553 asked questions and common problems
3555 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3556 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3557 - added tests for this
3559 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3560 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3561 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3562 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3564 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3565 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3568 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3569 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3570 is much appreciated :)
3571 - added tests for this
3573 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3574 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3575 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3579 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3581 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3583 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3584 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3588 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3589 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3590 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3592 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3594 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3597 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3598 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3599 keywords because we need to localize them.
3600 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3602 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3603 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3604 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3607 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3610 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3611 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3612 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3615 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3616 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3617 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3619 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3621 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3622 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3623 bottom of your class file.
3626 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3629 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3631 - improved error message when loading modules so
3632 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3633 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3634 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3637 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3638 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3639 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3641 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3642 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3644 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3645 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3646 turn them on for you.
3647 - added tests for this
3648 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3649 in Moose::Meta::Class
3652 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3653 automatically turned on for you.
3654 - added tests for this
3657 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3658 - added tests for this
3659 - added some more edge case tests

3672 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3675 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3676 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3677 - This release works in combination with
3678 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3679 release because it uses the a new
3680 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3681 complete Role implementation. It has
3682 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3683 the the previous CPAN version. This
3684 release also lacks good updated docs,
3685 the official release will have updated docs.
3688 - refactored the keyword exports
3689 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3690 accepts more than one Role at a time
3691 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3692 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3695 - refactored the keyword exports
3696 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3697 accepts more than one Role at a time
3699 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3700 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3701 string enumerations which can be used as
3703 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3706 - more careful checking of params to new()
3709 - much work done on the role composition
3710 - many new tests for conflict detection
3711 and composition edge cases
3712 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3713 looking at the tests
3715 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3716 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3717 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3719 * Moose::Meta::Class
3720 - some small changes to support the new
3722 - some small additions to support Roles
3724 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3725 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3727 - some small changes to support the new
3729 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3730 with the 'handles' option
3731 - added several tests for this
3732 - no docs for this yet
3734 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3736 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3737 thanks to chansen for this commit
3738 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3739 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3740 on a per-attribute basis
3741 - added tests for this
3742 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3743 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3744 experimental feature and probably not finished
3745 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3746 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3747 - added tests for this
3750 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3762 construct_instance (for the better)
3764 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3809 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3811 - added test for this
3814 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
