2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
10 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
12 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
16 * Minor documentation fixes.
18 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
21 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
25 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
26 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
28 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
32 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
34 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
38 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
40 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
43 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
47 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
49 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
50 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
54 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
55 more values were required. (rjbs)
57 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
61 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
62 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
66 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
67 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
68 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
69 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
71 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
72 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
73 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
75 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
76 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
79 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
80 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
81 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
82 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
86 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
87 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
88 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
89 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
92 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
96 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
97 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
100 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
101 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
102 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
104 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
105 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
106 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
108 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
109 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
112 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
113 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
114 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
116 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
117 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
120 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
121 the associated stash. (doy)
125 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
126 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
127 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
128 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
130 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
134 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
135 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
136 the attribute's reference.
140 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
141 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
146 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
147 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
148 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
151 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
152 the Object constraint).
154 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
158 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
159 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
164 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
166 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
170 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
173 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
175 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
179 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
181 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
185 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
188 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
189 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
190 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
192 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
195 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
199 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
201 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
205 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
207 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
211 * Include changes from 2.0010.
213 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
217 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
218 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
222 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
223 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
224 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
229 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
231 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
235 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
236 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
238 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
242 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
244 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
248 * Various packaging issues.
250 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
254 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
255 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
260 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
261 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
262 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
266 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
267 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
268 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
270 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
274 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
275 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
277 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
281 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
282 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
284 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
287 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
288 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
292 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
293 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
295 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
299 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
300 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
304 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
306 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
310 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
312 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
316 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
317 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
319 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
323 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
325 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
329 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
331 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
332 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
334 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
338 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
339 skips every other role. (rjbs)
341 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
342 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
343 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
344 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
345 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
347 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
351 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
352 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
353 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
356 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
361 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
363 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
364 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
366 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
370 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
371 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
372 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
376 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
377 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
379 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
380 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
382 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
383 environments. (doy, mateu)
385 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
389 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
390 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
391 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
392 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
396 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
397 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
399 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
403 * Update conflicts list.
406 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
410 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
411 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
412 details. (Dave Rolsky)
414 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
415 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
416 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
417 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
418 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
422 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
423 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
424 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
425 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
426 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
429 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
433 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
434 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
436 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
439 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
443 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
444 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
445 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
446 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
448 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
449 immutable classes). (mo)
451 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
452 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
453 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
455 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
459 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
461 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
463 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
467 * Fix some indexing issues.
469 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
471 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
475 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
476 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
477 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
478 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
479 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
481 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
482 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
487 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
488 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
489 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
490 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
492 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
493 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
494 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
498 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
499 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
502 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
506 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
507 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
511 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
515 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
516 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
517 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
518 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
521 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
525 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
528 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
532 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
533 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
534 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
537 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
541 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
542 policy. (Chris Prather)
544 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
545 on this new support policy. (doy)
549 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
550 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
551 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
553 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
554 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
556 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
560 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
561 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
562 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
563 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
566 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
570 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
571 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
574 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
578 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
579 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
581 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
582 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
586 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
587 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
588 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
589 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
590 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
591 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
593 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
594 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
596 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
597 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
598 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
599 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
601 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
602 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
604 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
609 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
610 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
612 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
616 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
617 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
618 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
620 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
624 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
625 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
626 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
628 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
629 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
632 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
633 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
636 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
637 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
638 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
640 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
641 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
646 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
647 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
648 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
649 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
651 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
652 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
654 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
655 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
657 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
658 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
659 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
660 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
662 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
663 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
664 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
667 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
668 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
669 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
670 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
672 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
673 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
676 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
677 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
678 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
680 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
684 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
685 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
686 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
688 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
689 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
690 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
693 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
694 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
695 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
697 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
698 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
699 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
701 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
702 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
706 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
707 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
708 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
710 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
711 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
712 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
713 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
715 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
719 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
720 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
721 value is a reference.
723 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
724 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
726 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
730 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
731 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
732 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
734 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
738 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
739 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
743 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
744 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
745 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
747 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
748 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
749 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
751 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
755 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
757 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
761 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
763 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
764 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
769 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
770 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
772 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
773 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
774 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
775 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
776 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
778 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
779 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
780 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
781 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
783 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
787 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
788 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
793 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
795 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
797 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
802 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
804 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
808 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
809 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
810 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
812 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
813 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
814 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
815 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
817 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
818 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
819 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
820 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
821 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
824 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
829 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
830 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
831 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
832 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
833 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
836 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
840 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
843 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
844 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
848 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
849 function (not just method). (doy)
853 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
854 and aren't easily installable/testable.
856 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
860 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
861 to be overridden more easily (doy).
863 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
867 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
868 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
870 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
874 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
875 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
876 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
878 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
882 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
883 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
884 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
886 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
887 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
891 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
892 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
894 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
895 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
899 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
900 is applied to a class (t0m).
902 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
903 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
905 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
908 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
909 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
911 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
912 be much more robust. (doy)
914 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
916 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
919 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
923 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
924 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
926 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
930 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
931 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
933 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
936 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
937 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
938 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
940 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
941 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
942 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
945 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
947 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
951 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
952 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
956 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
958 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
962 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
963 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
967 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
968 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
972 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
974 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
978 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
979 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
983 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
984 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
988 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
989 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
991 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
995 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
996 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
997 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1000 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1004 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1005 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1006 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1007 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1009 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1013 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1014 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1015 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1019 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1020 (Michael G. Schwern)
1022 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1027 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1028 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1032 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1033 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1035 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1036 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1037 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1038 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1040 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1044 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1048 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1049 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1051 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1052 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1053 - Moose::Util::does_role
1054 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1055 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1056 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1058 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1062 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1063 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1064 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1067 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1071 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1072 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1075 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1079 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1080 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1083 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1087 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1089 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1090 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1092 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1093 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1094 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1096 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1097 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1098 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1101 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1102 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1105 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1106 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1108 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1110 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1111 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1113 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1115 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1118 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1119 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1121 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1122 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1124 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1125 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1126 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1127 dependencies installed.
1129 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1130 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1133 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1135 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1139 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1142 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1143 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1145 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1146 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1147 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1149 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1150 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1153 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1154 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1155 others. (nothingmuch)
1157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1158 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1159 remove_accessors. (doy)
1161 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1162 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1163 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1166 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1168 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1169 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1170 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1171 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1173 * Moose::Meta::Class
1174 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1175 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1177 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1178 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1180 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1182 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1183 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1186 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1187 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1188 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1189 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1190 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1192 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1193 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1194 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1195 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1196 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1197 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1198 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1201 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1202 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1203 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1204 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1205 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1207 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1208 which were not receiving the value of
1209 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1210 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1211 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1212 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1216 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1217 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1218 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1219 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1220 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1223 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1224 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1225 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1226 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Class
1229 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1230 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1231 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1234 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1236 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1238 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1239 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1240 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1243 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1244 class if you pass it options for
1245 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1246 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1247 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1248 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1249 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1250 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1251 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1252 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1253 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1255 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1256 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1257 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1258 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1259 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1262 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1264 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1265 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1268 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1269 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1270 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1271 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1272 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1275 * Moose::Error::Croak
1276 * Moose::Error::Confess
1277 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1278 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1281 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1284 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1285 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1286 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1288 * Moose::Meta::Class
1289 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1292 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1293 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1294 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1296 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1297 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1298 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1299 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1300 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1302 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1303 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1306 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1308 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1309 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1312 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1313 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1317 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1318 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1320 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1321 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1322 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1323 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1324 using it for new code!
1326 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1327 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1328 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1329 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1331 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1332 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1333 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1334 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1335 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1336 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1337 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1338 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1341 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1344 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1345 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1348 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1349 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1352 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1353 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1355 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1356 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1357 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1358 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1360 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1361 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1362 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1364 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1365 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1366 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1369 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1370 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1371 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1372 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1373 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1374 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1376 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1378 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1381 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1382 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1383 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1385 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1386 associated_methods. (hdp)
1387 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1388 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1389 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1390 misspelled) arguments
1392 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1393 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1394 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1395 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1397 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1398 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1399 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1401 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1405 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1406 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1409 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1410 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1412 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1413 * Moose::Meta::Class
1414 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1415 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1417 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1418 * Moose::Manual::Types
1419 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1420 string parsing rathole (mst)
1422 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1423 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1424 using plain objects instead
1426 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1427 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1428 that's what we need.
1430 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1431 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1432 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1433 three times today (perigrin)
1434 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1435 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1437 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1438 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1439 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1440 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1443 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1444 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1445 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1446 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1447 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1448 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1451 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1452 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1453 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1454 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1457 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1459 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1462 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1464 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1467 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1468 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1469 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1473 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1474 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1477 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1478 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1480 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1481 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1482 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1484 * Moose::Unsweetened
1485 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1487 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1488 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1491 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1495 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1496 methods during global destruction (doy)
1498 * Moose::Meta::Class
1499 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1500 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1501 consumption (Sartak)
1503 * Moose::Meta::Class
1504 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1505 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1508 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1509 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1512 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1513 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1515 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1517 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1521 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1522 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1523 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1526 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1527 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1528 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1531 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1533 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1534 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1535 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1538 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1539 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1540 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1541 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1543 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1544 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1545 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1548 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1551 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1552 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1553 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1557 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1558 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1560 * Moose::Meta::Class
1561 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1563 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1565 * Moose::Meta::Class
1566 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1567 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1570 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1571 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1574 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1575 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1578 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1581 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1583 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1584 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1587 * Moose::Meta::Class
1588 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1590 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1591 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1594 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1595 * More deprecations and renamings
1596 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1597 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1598 when an object is constructed)
1601 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1602 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1603 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1605 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1606 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1607 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1608 feature, and it works again.
1611 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1613 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1615 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1616 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1617 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1619 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1620 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1621 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1622 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1623 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1625 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1626 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1627 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1628 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1629 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1632 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1633 metaclass object. (hdp)
1635 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1636 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1637 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1638 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1639 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1640 point out this fact. (hdp)
1642 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1643 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1645 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1646 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1648 * Moose::Meta::Class
1649 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1650 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1651 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1652 called during instance construction were passed the
1653 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1654 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1656 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1657 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1660 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1661 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1662 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1665 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1666 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1667 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1668 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1669 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1671 - Moose::Meta::Class
1672 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1674 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1675 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1676 when an object is constructed)
1677 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1679 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1680 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1681 when an object is constructed)
1682 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1683 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1684 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1687 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1689 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1690 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1692 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1694 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1695 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1696 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1698 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1699 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1700 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1702 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1704 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1705 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1707 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1708 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1711 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1712 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1715 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1716 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1717 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1719 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1720 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1724 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1725 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1726 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1728 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1729 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1732 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1733 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1734 with recommended workarounds.
1736 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1737 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1739 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1740 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1741 (yes, spelled like that).
1743 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1744 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1746 * Moose::Meta::Class
1747 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1748 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1750 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1752 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1753 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1754 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1755 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1756 instead. Reported by doy.
1758 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1760 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1761 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1763 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1764 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1765 message) is now deprecated.
1766 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1767 often got it wrong. For example:
1769 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1771 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1775 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1776 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1777 bite you in weird cases.
1779 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1780 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1781 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1782 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1784 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1785 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1789 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1792 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1793 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1796 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1797 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1799 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1800 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1803 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1805 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1806 - added tests for this (stevan)
1808 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1809 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1810 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1811 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1815 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1816 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1817 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1818 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1820 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1821 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1822 - added tests for this (rafl)
1824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1825 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1826 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1827 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1831 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1832 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1835 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1836 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1837 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1839 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1841 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1842 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1844 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1845 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1846 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1847 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1848 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1850 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1851 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1852 error message did not specify the attribute name
1855 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1857 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1859 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1860 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1861 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1863 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1864 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1867 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1869 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1870 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1871 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1872 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1874 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1876 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1877 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1878 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1879 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1881 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1882 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1883 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1886 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1887 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1888 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1889 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1892 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1893 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1894 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1895 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1898 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1899 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1900 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1901 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1902 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1904 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1905 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1906 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1907 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1908 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1909 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1911 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1912 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1914 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1915 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1916 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1917 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1920 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1923 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1927 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1928 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1930 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1931 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1932 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1933 guts. (nothingmuch).
1935 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1936 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1937 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1939 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1940 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1941 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1942 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1944 * Moose::Meta::Class
1945 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1948 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1949 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1951 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1952 * Moose::Unsweetened
1953 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1956 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1957 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1958 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1959 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1960 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1961 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1963 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1964 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1965 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1966 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1967 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1968 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1969 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1970 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1971 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1972 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1974 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1976 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1977 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1979 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1980 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1981 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1982 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1984 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1985 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1986 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1987 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1988 same methods for a single role did not work
1989 right (worked just fine with multiple
1991 - added test for this (stevan)
1993 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1994 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1995 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1998 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1999 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2000 - added test for this (t0m)
2003 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2004 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2005 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2008 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2009 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2010 - added test for this (t0m)
2012 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2013 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2014 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2015 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2016 - added test for this (perigrin)
2019 - create method for constructing a role
2020 dynamically (Sartak)
2021 - added test for this (Sartak)
2022 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2023 - added test for this (Sartak)
2026 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2028 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2029 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2030 methods is useful (Sartak)
2032 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2033 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2034 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2037 * Moose::Meta::Class
2038 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2039 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2040 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2041 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2042 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2043 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2046 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2047 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2049 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2050 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2051 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2052 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2053 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2055 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2057 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2058 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2059 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2062 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2063 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2064 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2065 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2066 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2067 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2071 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2072 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2073 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2074 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2075 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2076 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2077 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2078 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2079 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2080 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2082 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2083 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2086 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2087 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2088 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2089 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2090 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2092 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2094 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2095 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2096 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2098 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2099 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2101 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2102 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2103 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2104 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2107 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2108 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2110 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2112 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2113 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2115 * Moose::Meta::Class
2116 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2117 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2118 a required attribute
2120 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2121 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2122 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2123 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2125 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2126 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2128 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2129 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2130 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2131 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2132 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2133 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2134 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2135 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2137 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2138 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2139 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2141 * Roles and role application
2142 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2143 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2144 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2145 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2146 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2148 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2149 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2152 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2153 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2154 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2155 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2156 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2159 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2160 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2161 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2162 changes in the Moose internals.
2164 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2166 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2169 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2170 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2171 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2172 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2175 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2176 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2177 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2180 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2181 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2182 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2183 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2184 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2185 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2186 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2187 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2188 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2189 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2190 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2191 constraint implementations.
2193 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2197 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2198 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2199 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2200 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2201 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2202 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2203 - added tests for this (rafl)
2205 * Moose::Meta::Class
2206 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2207 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2208 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2209 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2210 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2211 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2212 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2213 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2216 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2217 - added tests for this (thepler)
2219 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2220 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2221 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2222 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2225 * Moose::Meta::Class
2226 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2227 * Moose::Meta::Method
2230 * Moose::Error::Default
2231 * Moose::Error::Croak
2232 * Moose::Error::Confess
2233 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2234 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2235 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2236 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2237 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2238 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2240 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2242 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2243 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2245 * Moose::Unsweetened
2246 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2247 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2248 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2250 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2251 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2252 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2253 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2254 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2257 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2258 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2260 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2261 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2262 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2263 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2266 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2268 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2269 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2271 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2274 - Various bug fixes.
2276 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2277 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2279 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2281 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2282 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2283 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2284 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2285 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2286 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2288 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2289 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2290 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2292 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2293 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2294 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2297 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2298 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2299 dependency to 0.64_07.
2301 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2302 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2303 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2305 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2306 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2309 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2310 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2311 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2312 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2313 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2314 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2316 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2317 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2319 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2321 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2322 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2326 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2327 method when that method was provided by another role being
2328 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2329 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2331 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2333 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2334 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2336 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2337 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2338 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2339 - added test for this (t0m)
2341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2342 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2343 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2345 - added test for this (t0m)
2348 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2349 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2350 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2353 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2354 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2356 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2358 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2359 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2361 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2362 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2363 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2365 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2366 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2369 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2370 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2371 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2372 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2376 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2377 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2378 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2381 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2382 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2383 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2384 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2387 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2391 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2392 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2393 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2395 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2397 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2398 created so that the process can be more easily
2399 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2411 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2413 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2414 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2415 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2417 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2418 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2419 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2421 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2422 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2424 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2425 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2428 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2429 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2433 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2434 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2436 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2437 ... this is not my day today ...
2439 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2440 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2441 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2442 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2443 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2446 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2447 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2448 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2449 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2450 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2453 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2455 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2456 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2457 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2458 this is not ever something you want to do
2459 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2460 - added tests for this (stevan)
2463 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2465 - added test for this
2467 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2468 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2469 - added tests for this (wreis)
2471 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2472 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2473 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2474 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2476 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2477 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2478 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2481 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2483 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2485 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2488 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2489 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2490 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2491 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2492 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2493 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2494 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2495 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2496 - added tests for this
2498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2499 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2500 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2501 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2503 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2505 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2506 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)

2519 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2520 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2522 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2524 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008

2558 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2559 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2561 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2562 - move the ClassName type check code to
2563 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2565 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2566 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2568 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2569 (early morning release engineering)--
2571 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2572 which was causing the indexer to choke
2574 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2575 (late night release engineering)--
2577 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2578 changes in this release
2580 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2581 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2582 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!

2586 since it is called so often by &meta
2588 * Moose::Meta::Class
2590 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2591 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2595 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2596 method for immutablization to check if the
2597 destructor object even needs to be created
2600 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2601 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2602 - added more descriptive error message to help
2603 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2604 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2606 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2608 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2609 XS based functionality is now optional
2610 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2611 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2612 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2614 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2615 to take care of this, mostly we added
2616 support for the package_name and name
2617 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2618 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2619 support regexp matching of names
2620 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2621 - tests added for this
2622 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2623 is currently not supported in roles,
2624 but, ... patches welcome
2625 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2626 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2627 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2630 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2631 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2632 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2633 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2634 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2635 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2636 - added test for this
2638 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2639 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2640 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2643 * Moose::Meta::Class
2644 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2648 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2650 - added tests for this
2651 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2652 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2654 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2655 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2656 themselves parameterizable types
2658 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2659 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2660 called by the inlined immutable
2662 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2664 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2665 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2666 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2667 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2669 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2670 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2674 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2675 causing occasional cpantester failures

2681 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2682 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2685 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2686 ->body when looping through the
2687 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2689 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2690 eating the $@ values, and so not
2691 working correctly, it still kind of
2692 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2693 - added tests for this
2695 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2696 - added new recipe for immutable
2697 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2699 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2700 - added new recipe for builder and
2701 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)

2705 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2708 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2710 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2711 since Module::Install has done that.
2713 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2715 drink more coffee before
2716 doing release engineering
2718 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2719 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2720 modules. This fixes that.
2722 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2723 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2724 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2726 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2727 since we have tests which need the C3

2731 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2733 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2734 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2736 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2737 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2738 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2739 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2745 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2746 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)
2748 * Moose::Meta::Class
2749 - fixing &new_object to make sure trigger gets the
2750 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2752 - added test for this
2754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2755 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2756 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug
2757 found by Jesse Luehrs, fixed by Dave Rolsky)
2758 - added tests for this (Dave Rolsky)
2759 - fix typo in initialize_body method (nothingmuch)

2769 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2770 - inherited attributes may now be extended without
2771 restriction on the type ('isa', 'does') (Sartak)
2772 - added tests for this (Sartak)
2773 - when an attribute property is malformed (such as lazy without
2774 a default), give the name of the attribute in the error
2776 - added the &applied_traits and &has_applied_traits methods
2777 to allow introspection of traits
2778 - added tests for this
2779 - moved 'trait' and 'metaclass' argument handling to here from
2781 - clone_and_inherit_options now handles 'trait' and 'metaclass' (has
2782 '+foo' syntax) (nothingmuch)
2783 - added tests for this (t0m)
2786 - localize $@ inside DEMOLISHALL to avoid it
2787 eating $@ (found by Ernesto)
2788 - added test for this (thanks to Ernesto)
2790 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2833 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2835 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2836 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2837 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2879 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2880 it ever did this originally, this means we now

2883 - added more delegation tests
2884 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2885 support traits and their introspection.

3126 - added tests for this
3129 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3130 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3169 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3172 - fixed how required methods are handled
3173 when they encounter overriden or modified
3174 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3175 - added tests for this
3177 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3178 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3179 the | always creates a union and so is
3180 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3181 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3183 - added more tests for this
3185 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3188 * Parameterized Types
3189 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3190 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3191 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3192 They can also be nested:
3193 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3194 And work with the type unions as well:
3195 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3197 * Better Framework Extendability
3198 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3199 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3200 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3201 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3204 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3205 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3206 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3207 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3460 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3461 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3462 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3464 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3465 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3468 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3470 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3471 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3472 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3475 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3476 !! for this developer release to work !!
3478 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3479 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3480 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3481 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3482 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3483 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3484 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3485 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3486 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3487 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3488 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3490 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3491 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3492 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3493 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3496 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3497 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3498 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3499 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3500 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3502 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3504 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3505 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3508 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3509 called unless they actually need to be.
3510 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3511 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3512 DEMOLISH method present.
3514 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3515 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3516 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3517 type constraint, which allows for a
3518 hand optimized version of the type
3519 constraint to be used when possible.
3520 - Any internally created type constraints
3521 now provide an optimized version as well.
3523 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3525 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3526 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3527 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3529 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3530 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3531 your class namespace of these exported
3534 * Moose::Meta::Class
3535 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3536 comes up during global destruction
3538 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3542 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3545 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3546 - changed how we do type checks so that
3547 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3550 - moved accessor generation methods to
3551 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3552 conform to the API changes from
3555 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3556 - changed how constraints are compiled
3557 so that we do less recursion and more
3558 iteration. This makes the type check
3560 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3563 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3564 - created this from methods formerly found in
3565 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3567 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3568 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3571 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3573 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3574 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3576 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3578 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3579 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3580 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3581 - added tests for this
3582 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3583 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3584 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3585 - removed tests for this
3587 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3589 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3590 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3591 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3594 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3595 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3596 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3598 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3599 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3600 comments for more info.
3603 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3604 asked questions and common problems
3606 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3607 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3608 - added tests for this
3610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3611 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3612 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3613 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3615 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3616 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3619 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3620 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3621 is much appreciated :)
3622 - added tests for this
3624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3625 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3626 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3629 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3630 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3632 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3634 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3635 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3639 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3640 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3641 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3643 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3645 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3648 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3649 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3650 keywords because we need to localize them.
3651 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3653 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3654 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3655 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3658 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3661 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3662 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3663 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3666 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3667 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3668 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3670 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3672 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3673 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3674 bottom of your class file.
3677 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3680 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3682 - improved error message when loading modules so
3683 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3684 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3685 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3688 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3689 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3690 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3692 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3693 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3695 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3696 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3697 turn them on for you.
3698 - added tests for this
3699 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3700 in Moose::Meta::Class
3703 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3704 automatically turned on for you.

3723 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3726 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3727 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3728 - This release works in combination with
3729 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3730 release because it uses the a new
3731 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3732 complete Role implementation. It has
3733 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3734 the the previous CPAN version. This
3735 release also lacks good updated docs,
3736 the official release will have updated docs.
3739 - refactored the keyword exports
3740 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3741 accepts more than one Role at a time
3742 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3743 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3746 - refactored the keyword exports
3747 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3748 accepts more than one Role at a time
3750 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3751 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3752 string enumerations which can be used as
3754 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3757 - more careful checking of params to new()
3760 - much work done on the role composition
3761 - many new tests for conflict detection
3762 and composition edge cases
3763 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3764 looking at the tests
3766 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3767 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3768 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3770 * Moose::Meta::Class
3771 - some small changes to support the new
3773 - some small additions to support Roles
3775 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3776 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3778 - some small changes to support the new
3780 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3781 with the 'handles' option
3782 - added several tests for this
3783 - no docs for this yet
3785 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3787 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3788 thanks to chansen for this commit
3789 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3790 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3791 on a per-attribute basis
3792 - added tests for this
3793 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3794 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3795 experimental feature and probably not finished
3796 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3797 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3798 - added tests for this
3801 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter

3813 construct_instance (for the better)
3815 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3860 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3862 - added test for this
3865 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
3866 you need it, it properly loads the metaclass class now
