1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0502 Wed, Apr 25, 2012
10 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
11 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
12 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
15 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
17 2.0501 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
21 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
23 2.0500 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
27 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
28 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
32 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
33 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
34 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
35 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
36 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
41 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
42 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
43 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
44 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
46 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
47 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
48 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
50 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
51 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
52 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
53 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
55 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
56 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
57 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
58 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
60 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
61 package which was deleted. (doy)
63 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
67 * Minor documentation fixes.
69 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
72 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
76 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
77 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
79 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
83 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
85 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
89 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
91 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
94 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
98 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
100 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
101 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
105 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
106 more values were required. (rjbs)
108 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
112 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
113 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
117 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
118 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
119 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
120 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
122 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
123 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
124 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
126 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
127 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
130 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
131 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
132 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
133 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
137 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
138 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
139 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
140 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
143 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
147 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
148 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
149 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
151 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
152 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
153 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
155 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
156 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
157 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
159 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
160 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
163 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
164 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
165 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
167 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
168 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
171 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
172 the associated stash. (doy)
176 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
177 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
178 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
179 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
181 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
185 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
186 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
187 the attribute's reference.
191 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
192 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
197 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
198 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
199 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
202 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
203 the Object constraint).
205 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
209 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
210 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
215 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
217 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
221 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
224 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
226 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
230 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
232 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
236 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
239 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
240 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
241 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
243 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
246 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
250 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
252 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
256 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
258 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
262 * Include changes from 2.0010.
264 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
268 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
269 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
273 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
274 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
275 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
280 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
282 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
286 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
287 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
289 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
293 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
295 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
299 * Various packaging issues.
301 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
305 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
306 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
311 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
312 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
313 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
317 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
318 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
319 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
321 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
325 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
326 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
328 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
332 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
333 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
335 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
338 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
339 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
343 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
344 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
346 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
350 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
351 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
355 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
357 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
361 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
363 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
367 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
368 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
370 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
374 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
376 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
380 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
382 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
383 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
385 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
389 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
390 skips every other role. (rjbs)
392 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
393 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
394 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
395 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
396 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
398 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
402 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
403 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
404 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
407 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
412 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
414 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
415 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
417 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
421 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
422 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
423 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
427 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
428 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
430 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
431 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
433 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
434 environments. (doy, mateu)
436 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
440 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
441 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
442 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
443 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
447 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
448 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
450 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
454 * Update conflicts list.
457 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
461 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
462 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
463 details. (Dave Rolsky)
465 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
466 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
467 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
468 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
469 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
473 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
474 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
475 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
476 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
477 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
480 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
484 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
485 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
487 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
490 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
494 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
495 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
496 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
497 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
499 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
500 immutable classes). (mo)
502 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
503 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
504 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
506 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
510 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
512 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
514 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
518 * Fix some indexing issues.
520 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
522 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
526 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
527 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
528 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
529 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
530 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
532 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
533 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
538 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
539 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
540 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
541 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
543 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
544 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
545 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
549 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
550 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
553 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
557 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
558 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
562 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
566 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
567 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
568 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
569 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
572 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
576 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
579 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
583 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
584 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
585 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
588 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
592 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
593 policy. (Chris Prather)
595 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
596 on this new support policy. (doy)
600 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
601 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
602 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
604 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
605 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
607 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
611 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
612 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
613 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
614 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
617 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
621 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
622 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
625 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
629 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
630 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
632 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
633 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
637 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
638 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
639 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
640 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
641 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
642 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
644 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
645 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
647 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
648 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
649 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
650 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
652 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
653 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
655 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
660 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
661 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
663 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
667 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
668 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
669 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
671 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
675 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
676 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
677 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
679 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
680 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
683 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
684 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
687 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
688 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
689 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
691 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
692 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
697 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
698 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
699 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
700 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
702 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
703 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
705 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
706 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
708 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
709 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
710 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
711 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
713 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
714 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
715 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
718 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
719 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
720 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
721 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
723 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
724 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
727 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
728 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
729 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
731 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
735 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
736 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
737 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
739 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
740 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
741 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
744 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
745 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
746 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
748 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
749 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
750 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
752 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
753 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
757 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
758 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
759 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
761 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
762 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
763 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
764 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
766 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
770 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
771 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
772 value is a reference.
774 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
775 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
777 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
781 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
782 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
783 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
785 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
789 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
790 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
794 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
795 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
796 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
798 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
799 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
800 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
802 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
806 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
808 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
812 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
814 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
815 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
820 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
821 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
823 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
824 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
825 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
826 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
827 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
829 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
830 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
831 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
832 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
834 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
838 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
839 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
844 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
846 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
848 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
853 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
855 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
859 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
860 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
861 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
863 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
864 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
865 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
866 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
868 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
869 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
870 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
871 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
872 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
875 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
880 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
881 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
882 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
883 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
884 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
887 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
891 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
894 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
895 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
899 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
900 function (not just method). (doy)
904 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
905 and aren't easily installable/testable.
907 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
911 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
912 to be overridden more easily (doy).
914 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
918 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
919 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
921 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
925 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
926 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
927 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
929 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
933 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
934 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
935 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
937 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
938 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
942 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
943 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
945 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
946 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
950 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
951 is applied to a class (t0m).
953 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
954 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
956 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
959 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
960 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
962 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
963 be much more robust. (doy)
965 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
967 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
970 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
974 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
975 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
977 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
981 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
982 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
984 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
987 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
988 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
989 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
991 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
992 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
993 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
996 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
998 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1002 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1003 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1007 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1009 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1014 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1018 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1019 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1023 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1025 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1029 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1030 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1034 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1035 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1039 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1040 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1042 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1046 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1047 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1048 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1051 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1055 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1056 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1057 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1058 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1060 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1064 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1065 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1066 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1070 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1071 (Michael G. Schwern)
1073 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1077 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1078 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1079 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1083 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1084 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1086 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1087 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1088 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1089 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1091 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1095 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1099 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1100 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1102 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1103 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1104 - Moose::Util::does_role
1105 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1106 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1107 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1109 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1113 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1114 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1115 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1118 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1122 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1123 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1126 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1130 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1131 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1134 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1138 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1140 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1141 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1143 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1144 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1145 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1147 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1148 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1149 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1152 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1153 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1155 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1156 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1157 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1159 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1161 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1162 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1164 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1166 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1169 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1170 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1172 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1173 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1175 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1176 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1177 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1178 dependencies installed.
1180 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1181 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1184 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1186 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1190 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1192 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1193 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1194 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1196 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1197 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1198 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1200 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1201 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1204 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1205 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1206 others. (nothingmuch)
1208 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1209 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1210 remove_accessors. (doy)
1212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1213 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1214 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1217 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1219 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1220 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1221 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1222 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1224 * Moose::Meta::Class
1225 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1226 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1229 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1231 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1233 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1234 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1237 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1238 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1239 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1240 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1241 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1243 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1244 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1246 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1247 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1248 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1249 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1252 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1253 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1254 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1255 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1256 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1258 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1259 which were not receiving the value of
1260 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1261 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1262 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1263 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1267 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1268 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1269 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1270 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1271 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1275 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1276 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1277 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Class
1280 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1281 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1282 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1285 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1287 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1290 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1291 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1294 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1295 class if you pass it options for
1296 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1297 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1298 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1299 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1300 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1301 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1302 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1304 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1307 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1308 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1309 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1310 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1313 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1315 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1316 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1319 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1320 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1321 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1322 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1323 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1326 * Moose::Error::Croak
1327 * Moose::Error::Confess
1328 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1329 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1332 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1335 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1336 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1337 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1339 * Moose::Meta::Class
1340 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1343 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1344 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1345 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1347 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1348 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1349 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1350 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1351 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1353 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1354 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1357 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1359 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1360 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1363 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1364 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1366 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1367 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1368 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1369 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1371 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1372 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1373 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1374 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1375 using it for new code!
1377 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1378 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1379 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1380 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1382 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1383 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1384 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1385 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1386 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1387 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1388 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1389 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1392 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1395 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1396 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1399 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1400 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1402 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1403 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1404 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1406 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1407 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1408 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1409 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1411 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1412 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1413 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1415 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1416 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1417 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1420 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1421 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1422 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1423 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1424 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1425 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1427 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1429 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1432 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1433 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1434 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1436 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1437 associated_methods. (hdp)
1438 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1439 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1440 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1441 misspelled) arguments
1443 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1444 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1445 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1446 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1449 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1450 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1452 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1455 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1456 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1457 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1460 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1461 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1463 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1464 * Moose::Meta::Class
1465 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1466 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1468 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1469 * Moose::Manual::Types
1470 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1471 string parsing rathole (mst)
1473 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1474 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1475 using plain objects instead
1477 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1478 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1479 that's what we need.
1481 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1482 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1483 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1484 three times today (perigrin)
1485 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1486 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1488 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1489 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1490 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1491 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1494 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1495 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1496 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1497 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1498 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1499 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1502 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1503 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1504 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1505 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1508 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1510 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1513 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1515 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1518 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1519 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1520 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1524 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1525 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1528 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1529 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1531 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1532 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1533 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1535 * Moose::Unsweetened
1536 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1538 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1539 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1542 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1546 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1547 methods during global destruction (doy)
1549 * Moose::Meta::Class
1550 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1551 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1552 consumption (Sartak)
1554 * Moose::Meta::Class
1555 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1556 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1559 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1560 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1563 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1564 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1566 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1568 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1572 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1573 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1574 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1577 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1578 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1579 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1582 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1584 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1585 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1586 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1589 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1590 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1591 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1592 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1594 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1595 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1596 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1599 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1602 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1603 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1604 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1608 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1609 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1611 * Moose::Meta::Class
1612 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1614 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1616 * Moose::Meta::Class
1617 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1618 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1621 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1622 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1625 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1626 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1629 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1632 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1634 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1635 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1638 * Moose::Meta::Class
1639 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1641 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1642 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1645 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1646 * More deprecations and renamings
1647 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1648 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1649 when an object is constructed)
1652 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1653 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1654 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1656 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1657 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1658 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1659 feature, and it works again.
1662 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1664 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1666 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1667 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1668 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1670 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1671 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1672 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1673 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1674 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1676 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1677 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1678 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1679 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1680 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1683 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1684 metaclass object. (hdp)
1686 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1687 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1688 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1689 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1690 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1691 point out this fact. (hdp)
1693 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1694 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1696 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1697 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1699 * Moose::Meta::Class
1700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1701 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1702 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1703 called during instance construction were passed the
1704 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1705 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1707 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1708 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1711 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1712 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1713 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1716 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1717 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1718 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1719 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1720 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1722 - Moose::Meta::Class
1723 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1725 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1726 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1727 when an object is constructed)
1728 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1730 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1731 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1732 when an object is constructed)
1733 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1734 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1735 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1738 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1740 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1741 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1743 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1745 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1746 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1747 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1749 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1750 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1751 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1753 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1755 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1756 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1758 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1759 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1762 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1763 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1766 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1767 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1768 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1770 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1771 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1775 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1776 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1777 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1779 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1780 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1783 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1784 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1785 with recommended workarounds.
1787 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1788 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1790 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1791 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1792 (yes, spelled like that).
1794 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1795 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1797 * Moose::Meta::Class
1798 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1799 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1801 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1803 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1804 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1805 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1806 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1807 instead. Reported by doy.
1809 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1811 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1812 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1814 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1815 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1816 message) is now deprecated.
1817 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1818 often got it wrong. For example:
1820 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1822 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1826 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1827 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1828 bite you in weird cases.
1830 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1831 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1832 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1833 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1835 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1836 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1840 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1843 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1844 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1847 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1848 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1850 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1851 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1854 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1855 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1856 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1857 - added tests for this (stevan)
1859 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1860 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1861 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1862 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1866 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1867 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1868 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1869 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1871 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1872 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1873 - added tests for this (rafl)
1875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1876 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1877 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1878 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1882 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1883 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1886 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1887 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1888 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1890 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1892 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1893 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1895 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1896 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1897 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1898 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1899 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1901 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1902 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1903 error message did not specify the attribute name
1906 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1908 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1910 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1911 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1912 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1914 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1915 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1918 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1920 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1921 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1922 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1923 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1925 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1927 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1928 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1929 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1930 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1932 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1933 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1934 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1936 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1937 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1938 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1939 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1940 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1943 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1944 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1945 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1946 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1948 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1949 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1950 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1951 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1952 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1953 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1955 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1956 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1957 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1958 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1959 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1960 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1962 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1963 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1965 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1966 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1967 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1968 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1971 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1974 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1978 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1979 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1981 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1982 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1983 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1984 guts. (nothingmuch).
1986 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1987 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1988 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1990 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1991 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1992 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1993 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1995 * Moose::Meta::Class
1996 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1999 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2000 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2002 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2003 * Moose::Unsweetened
2004 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2007 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2008 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2009 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2010 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2011 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2012 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2014 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2015 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2016 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2017 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2018 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2019 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2020 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2021 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2022 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2023 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2025 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2027 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2028 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2030 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2031 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2032 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2033 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2035 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2036 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2037 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2038 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2039 same methods for a single role did not work
2040 right (worked just fine with multiple
2042 - added test for this (stevan)
2044 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2045 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2046 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2049 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2050 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2051 - added test for this (t0m)
2054 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2055 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2056 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2059 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2060 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2061 - added test for this (t0m)
2063 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2064 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2065 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2066 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2067 - added test for this (perigrin)
2070 - create method for constructing a role
2071 dynamically (Sartak)
2072 - added test for this (Sartak)
2073 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2074 - added test for this (Sartak)
2077 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2079 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2080 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2081 methods is useful (Sartak)
2083 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2084 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2085 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2088 * Moose::Meta::Class
2089 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2090 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2091 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2092 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2093 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2094 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2097 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2098 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2100 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2101 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2102 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2103 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2104 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2106 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2108 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2109 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2110 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2113 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2114 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2115 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2116 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2117 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2118 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2121 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2122 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2123 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2124 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2125 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2126 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2127 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2128 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2129 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2130 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2131 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2133 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2134 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2137 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2138 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2139 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2140 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2141 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2143 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2145 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2146 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2147 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2149 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2150 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2152 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2153 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2154 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2155 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2158 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2159 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2161 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2163 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2164 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2166 * Moose::Meta::Class
2167 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2168 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2169 a required attribute
2171 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2172 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2173 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2174 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2176 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2177 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2179 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2180 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2181 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2182 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2183 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2184 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2185 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2186 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2188 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2189 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2190 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2192 * Roles and role application
2193 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2194 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2195 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2196 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2197 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2199 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2200 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2203 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2204 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2205 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2206 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2207 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2210 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2211 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2212 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2213 changes in the Moose internals.
2215 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2216 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2217 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2220 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2221 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2222 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2223 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2225 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2226 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2227 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2228 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2231 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2232 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2233 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2234 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2235 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2236 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2237 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2238 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2239 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2240 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2241 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2242 constraint implementations.
2244 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2248 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2249 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2250 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2251 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2252 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2253 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2254 - added tests for this (rafl)
2256 * Moose::Meta::Class
2257 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2258 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2259 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2260 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2261 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2262 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2263 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2264 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2267 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2268 - added tests for this (thepler)
2270 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2271 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2272 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2273 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2276 * Moose::Meta::Class
2277 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2278 * Moose::Meta::Method
2281 * Moose::Error::Default
2282 * Moose::Error::Croak
2283 * Moose::Error::Confess
2284 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2285 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2286 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2287 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2288 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2289 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2291 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2293 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2294 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2296 * Moose::Unsweetened
2297 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2298 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2299 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2301 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2302 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2303 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2304 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2305 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2308 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2309 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2311 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2312 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2313 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2314 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2317 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2319 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2320 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2322 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2325 - Various bug fixes.
2327 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2328 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2330 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2332 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2333 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2334 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2335 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2336 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2337 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2339 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2340 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2341 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2343 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2344 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2345 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2348 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2349 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2350 dependency to 0.64_07.
2352 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2353 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2354 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2357 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2360 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2361 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2362 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2363 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2364 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2365 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2367 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2368 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2370 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2372 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2373 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2377 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2378 method when that method was provided by another role being
2379 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2380 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2382 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2384 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2385 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2388 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2389 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2390 - added test for this (t0m)
2392 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2393 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2394 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2396 - added test for this (t0m)
2399 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2400 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2401 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2404 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2405 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2407 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2409 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2410 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2412 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2413 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2414 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2416 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2417 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2420 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2421 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2422 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2423 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2427 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2428 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2429 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2432 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2433 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2434 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2435 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2438 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2442 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2443 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2444 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2446 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2447 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2448 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2449 created so that the process can be more easily
2450 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2452 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2453 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2454 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2455 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2457 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2458 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2461 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2462 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2464 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2465 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2466 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2468 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2469 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2470 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2472 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2473 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2475 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2476 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2479 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2480 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2484 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2485 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2487 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2488 ... this is not my day today ...
2490 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2491 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2492 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2493 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2494 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2497 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2498 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2499 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2500 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2501 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2504 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2506 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2507 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2508 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2509 this is not ever something you want to do
2510 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2511 - added tests for this (stevan)
2514 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2516 - added test for this
2518 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2519 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2520 - added tests for this (wreis)
2522 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2523 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2524 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2525 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2527 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2528 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2529 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2532 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2534 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2536 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2539 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2540 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2541 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2542 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2543 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2544 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2545 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2546 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2547 - added tests for this
2549 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2550 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2551 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2552 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2554 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2556 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2557 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2558 - added tests for this (sartak)
2559 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2560 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2563 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()

2569 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2570 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2571 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2573 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2575 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2576 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2583 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2584 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2585 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2587 - added docs for this (TODO).
2588 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2589 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2590 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2591 - fix builder and default both being used
2596 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2598 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2599 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2600 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2604 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2608 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2609 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2610 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2612 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2613 - move the ClassName type check code to
2614 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2616 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2617 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2619 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2620 (early morning release engineering)--
2622 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2623 which was causing the indexer to choke
2625 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2626 (late night release engineering)--
2628 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2629 changes in this release
2631 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2632 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2633 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2635 * Moose::Meta::Class
2636 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2637 since it is called so often by &meta
2639 * Moose::Meta::Class
2641 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2642 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2645 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2646 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2647 method for immutablization to check if the
2648 destructor object even needs to be created
2651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2652 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2653 - added more descriptive error message to help
2654 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2655 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2657 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2659 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2660 XS based functionality is now optional
2661 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2662 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2663 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2665 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2666 to take care of this, mostly we added
2667 support for the package_name and name
2668 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2669 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2670 support regexp matching of names
2671 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2672 - tests added for this
2673 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2674 is currently not supported in roles,
2675 but, ... patches welcome
2676 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2677 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2678 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2681 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2682 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2683 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2684 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2685 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2686 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2687 - added test for this
2689 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2690 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2691 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2694 * Moose::Meta::Class
2695 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2699 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2701 - added tests for this
2702 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2703 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2705 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2706 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2707 themselves parameterizable types
2709 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2710 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2711 called by the inlined immutable
2713 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2715 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2716 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2717 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2718 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2720 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2721 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2725 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2726 causing occasional cpantester failures
2727 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2728 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2730 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2732 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2733 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2736 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2737 ->body when looping through the
2738 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2740 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2741 eating the $@ values, and so not
2742 working correctly, it still kind of
2743 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2744 - added tests for this
2746 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2747 - added new recipe for immutable
2748 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2750 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2751 - added new recipe for builder and
2752 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2754 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2755 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2756 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2759 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2761 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2762 since Module::Install has done that.
2764 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2766 drink more coffee before
2767 doing release engineering
2769 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2770 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2771 modules. This fixes that.
2773 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2774 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2775 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2777 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55
2778 since we have tests which need the C3
2781 0.41 Mon. April 28, 2008
2782 ~~ numerous documentation updates ~~
2784 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2785 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2787 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **

2884 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2886 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3177 - added tests for this
3180 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3181 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3220 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3223 - fixed how required methods are handled
3224 when they encounter overriden or modified
3225 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3226 - added tests for this
3228 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3229 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3230 the | always creates a union and so is
3231 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3232 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3234 - added more tests for this
3236 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3239 * Parameterized Types
3240 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3241 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3242 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3243 They can also be nested:
3244 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3245 And work with the type unions as well:
3246 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3248 * Better Framework Extendability
3249 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3250 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3251 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3252 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3255 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3256 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3257 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3258 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3459 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3461 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3462 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3464 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3465 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3466 so this release is just to fix that.
3469 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3470 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3471 (thanks to konobi for this)
3472 - added tests and docs
3474 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3475 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3477 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3478 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3479 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3480 - added tests for this
3481 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3482 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3483 functions to facilitate introspection.
3485 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3486 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3487 to build the list of delegated methods
3488 correctly (and not override important
3489 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3491 - added tests and docs for this
3492 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3493 so that you can actually document your
3494 attributes and inspect them through the
3496 - added tests and docs for this
3498 * Moose::Meta::Class
3499 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3500 it will first look in for the class in the
3501 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3502 then default to just loading $name.
3503 - added tests and docs for this
3505 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3506 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3507 - added test for this
3510 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3511 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3512 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3513 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3515 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3516 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3519 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3521 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3522 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3523 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3526 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3527 !! for this developer release to work !!
3529 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3530 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3531 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3532 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3533 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3534 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3535 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3536 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3537 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3538 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3539 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3541 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3542 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3543 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3544 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3547 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3548 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3549 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3550 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3551 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3553 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3555 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3556 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3559 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3560 called unless they actually need to be.
3561 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3562 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3563 DEMOLISH method present.
3565 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3566 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3567 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3568 type constraint, which allows for a
3569 hand optimized version of the type
3570 constraint to be used when possible.
3571 - Any internally created type constraints
3572 now provide an optimized version as well.
3574 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3576 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3577 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3578 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3580 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3581 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3582 your class namespace of these exported
3585 * Moose::Meta::Class
3586 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3587 comes up during global destruction
3589 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3593 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3596 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3597 - changed how we do type checks so that
3598 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3601 - moved accessor generation methods to
3602 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3603 conform to the API changes from
3606 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3607 - changed how constraints are compiled
3608 so that we do less recursion and more
3609 iteration. This makes the type check
3611 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3614 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3615 - created this from methods formerly found in
3616 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3618 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3619 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3621 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3622 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3624 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3625 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3627 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3629 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3630 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3631 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3632 - added tests for this
3633 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3634 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3635 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3636 - removed tests for this
3638 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3640 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3641 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3642 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3645 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3646 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3647 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3649 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3650 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3651 comments for more info.
3654 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3655 asked questions and common problems
3657 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3658 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3659 - added tests for this
3661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3662 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3663 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3664 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3666 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3667 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3670 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3671 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3672 is much appreciated :)
3673 - added tests for this
3675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3676 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3677 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3680 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3681 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3683 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3685 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3686 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3690 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3691 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3692 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3694 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3696 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3699 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3700 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3701 keywords because we need to localize them.
3702 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3704 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3705 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3706 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3709 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3712 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3713 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3714 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3717 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3718 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3719 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3721 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3723 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3724 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3725 bottom of your class file.
3728 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3731 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3733 - improved error message when loading modules so
3734 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3735 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3736 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3739 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3740 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3741 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3743 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3744 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3746 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3747 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3748 turn them on for you.
3749 - added tests for this

3778 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3779 - This release works in combination with
3780 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3781 release because it uses the a new
3782 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3783 complete Role implementation. It has
3784 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3785 the the previous CPAN version. This
3786 release also lacks good updated docs,
3787 the official release will have updated docs.
3790 - refactored the keyword exports
3791 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3792 accepts more than one Role at a time

3798 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3799 accepts more than one Role at a time
3801 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3803 string enumerations which can be used as
3805 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3808 - more careful checking of params to new()
3811 - much work done on the role composition
3812 - many new tests for conflict detection
3813 and composition edge cases
3814 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3815 looking at the tests
3817 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3818 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3819 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3821 * Moose::Meta::Class

3824 - some small additions to support Roles
3826 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3827 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3829 - some small changes to support the new
3831 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3832 with the 'handles' option
3833 - added several tests for this
3834 - no docs for this yet
3836 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3838 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3839 thanks to chansen for this commit
3840 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3841 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3842 on a per-attribute basis
3843 - added tests for this
3844 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3845 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3846 experimental feature and probably not finished
