1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0801 Thu, Mar 28, 2013
10 * properly apply traits at compile time (error introduced in 2.0800,
13 2.0800 Wed, Mar 27, 2013
17 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
18 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
20 * Roles can now override methods from other roles they consume directly,
21 without needing to manually exclude them (just like classes can). (mst)
25 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
26 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
27 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
29 * Fix memory leak in type unions. (Karen Etheridge) RT#83929.
31 * Fix application of traits at compile time. (doy) RT#77974.
33 2.0604 Wed, Sep 19, 2012
37 * Fix nonsensical error message for inlined accessors of required attributes.
40 * Stop trying to localize a lexical (blead now throws an error for this). RT
41 #79257, perl #114628. (sprout)
45 * Depend on a version of Carp new enough to have caller_info. RT #79367.
48 2.0603 Thu, Jun 28, 2012
52 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
54 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
58 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
59 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
60 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
61 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
62 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
64 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
68 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
69 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
70 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
72 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
76 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
78 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
82 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
83 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
84 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
87 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
89 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
93 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
95 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
99 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
100 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
104 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
105 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
106 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
107 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
108 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
113 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
114 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
115 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
116 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
118 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
119 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
120 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
122 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
123 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
124 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
125 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
127 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
128 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
129 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
130 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
132 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
133 package which was deleted. (doy)
135 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
139 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
141 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
145 * Minor documentation fixes.
147 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
148 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
150 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
154 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
155 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
157 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
161 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
163 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
167 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
169 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
172 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
176 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
178 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
179 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
183 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
184 more values were required. (rjbs)
186 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
190 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
191 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
195 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
196 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
197 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
198 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
200 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
201 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
202 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
204 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
205 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
208 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
209 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
210 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
211 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
215 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
216 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
217 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
218 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
221 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
225 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
226 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
227 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
229 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
230 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
231 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
233 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
234 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
235 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
237 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
238 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
241 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
242 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
243 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
245 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
246 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
249 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
250 the associated stash. (doy)
254 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
255 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
256 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
257 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
259 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
263 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
264 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
265 the attribute's reference.
269 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
270 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
275 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
276 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
277 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
280 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
281 the Object constraint).
283 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
287 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
288 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
293 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
295 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
299 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
302 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
304 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
308 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
310 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
314 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
317 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
318 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
319 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
321 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
324 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
328 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
330 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
334 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
336 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
340 * Include changes from 2.0010.
342 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
346 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
347 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
351 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
352 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
353 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
358 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
360 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
364 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
365 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
367 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
371 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
373 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
377 * Various packaging issues.
379 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
383 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
384 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
389 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
390 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
391 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
395 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
396 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
397 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
399 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
403 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
404 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
406 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
410 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
411 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
413 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
416 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
417 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
421 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
422 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
424 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
428 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
429 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
433 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
435 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
439 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
441 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
445 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
446 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
448 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
452 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
454 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
458 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
460 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
461 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
463 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
467 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
468 skips every other role. (rjbs)
470 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
471 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
472 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
473 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
474 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
476 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
480 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
481 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
482 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
485 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
490 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
492 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
493 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
495 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
499 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
500 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
501 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
505 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
506 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
508 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
509 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
511 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
512 environments. (doy, mateu)
514 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
518 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
519 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
520 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
521 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
525 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
526 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
528 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
532 * Update conflicts list.
535 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
539 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
540 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
541 details. (Dave Rolsky)
543 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
544 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
545 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
546 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
547 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
551 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
552 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
553 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
554 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
555 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
558 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
562 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
563 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
565 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
568 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
572 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
573 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
574 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
575 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
577 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
578 immutable classes). (mo)
580 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
581 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
582 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
584 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
588 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
590 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
592 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
596 * Fix some indexing issues.
598 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
600 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
604 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
605 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
606 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
607 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
608 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
610 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
611 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
616 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
617 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
618 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
619 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
621 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
622 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
623 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
627 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
628 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
631 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
635 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
636 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
640 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
644 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
645 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
646 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
647 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
650 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
654 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
657 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
661 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
662 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
663 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
666 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
670 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
671 policy. (Chris Prather)
673 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
674 on this new support policy. (doy)
678 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
679 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
680 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
682 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
683 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
685 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
689 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
690 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
691 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
692 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
695 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
699 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
700 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
703 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
707 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
708 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
710 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
711 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
715 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
716 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
717 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
718 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
719 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
720 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
722 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
723 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
725 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
726 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
727 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
728 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
730 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
731 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
733 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
738 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
739 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
741 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
745 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
746 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
747 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
749 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
753 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
754 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
755 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
757 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
758 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
761 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
762 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
765 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
766 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
767 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
769 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
770 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
775 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
776 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
777 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
778 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
780 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
781 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
783 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
784 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
786 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
787 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
788 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
789 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
791 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
792 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
793 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
796 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
797 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
798 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
799 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
801 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
802 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
805 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
806 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
807 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
809 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
813 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
814 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
815 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
817 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
818 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
819 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
822 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
823 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
824 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
826 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
827 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
828 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
830 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
831 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
835 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
836 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
837 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
839 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
840 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
841 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
842 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
844 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
848 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
849 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
850 value is a reference.
852 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
853 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
855 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
859 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
860 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
861 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
863 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
867 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
868 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
872 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
873 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
874 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
876 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
877 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
878 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
880 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
884 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
886 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
890 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
892 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
893 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
898 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
899 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
901 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
902 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
903 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
904 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
905 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
907 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
908 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
909 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
910 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
912 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
916 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
917 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
922 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
924 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
926 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
931 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
933 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
937 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
938 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
939 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
941 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
942 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
943 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
944 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
946 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
947 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
948 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
949 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
950 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
953 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
958 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
959 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
960 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
961 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
962 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
965 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
969 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
972 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
973 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
977 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
978 function (not just method). (doy)
982 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
983 and aren't easily installable/testable.
985 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
989 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
990 to be overridden more easily (doy).
992 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
996 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
997 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
999 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
1003 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
1004 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
1005 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
1007 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
1011 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
1012 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
1013 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
1015 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
1016 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
1020 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
1021 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
1023 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
1024 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
1028 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
1029 is applied to a class (t0m).
1031 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
1032 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1034 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1037 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1038 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1040 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1041 be much more robust. (doy)
1043 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1045 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1048 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1052 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1053 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1055 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1059 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1060 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1062 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1065 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1066 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1067 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1069 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1070 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1071 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1074 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1076 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1080 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1081 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1085 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1087 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1091 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1092 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1096 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1097 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1101 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1103 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1107 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1108 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1112 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1113 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1117 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1118 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1120 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1124 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1125 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1126 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1129 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1133 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1134 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1135 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1136 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1138 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1142 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1143 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1144 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1148 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1149 (Michael G. Schwern)
1151 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1155 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1156 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1157 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1161 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1162 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1164 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1165 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1166 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1167 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1169 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1173 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1177 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1178 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1180 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1181 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1182 - Moose::Util::does_role
1183 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1184 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1185 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1187 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1191 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1192 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1193 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1196 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1200 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1201 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1204 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1208 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1209 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1212 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1216 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1218 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1219 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1221 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1222 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1223 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1225 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1226 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1227 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1230 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1231 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1233 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1234 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1235 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1237 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1239 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1240 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1242 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1244 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1247 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1248 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1250 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1251 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1253 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1254 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1255 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1256 dependencies installed.
1258 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1259 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1262 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1264 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1268 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1270 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1271 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1272 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1274 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1275 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1276 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1278 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1279 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1282 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1283 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1284 others. (nothingmuch)
1286 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1287 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1288 remove_accessors. (doy)
1290 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1291 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1292 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1295 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1297 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1298 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1299 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1300 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1302 * Moose::Meta::Class
1303 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1304 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1307 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1309 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1311 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1312 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1315 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1316 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1317 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1318 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1319 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1321 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1322 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1324 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1325 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1326 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1327 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1330 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1331 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1332 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1333 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1334 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1336 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1337 which were not receiving the value of
1338 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1339 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1340 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1341 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1345 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1346 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1347 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1348 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1349 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1352 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1353 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1354 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1355 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1357 * Moose::Meta::Class
1358 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1359 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1360 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1363 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1364 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1365 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1367 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1368 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1369 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1372 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1373 class if you pass it options for
1374 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1375 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1376 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1377 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1378 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1379 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1380 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1381 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1382 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1384 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1385 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1386 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1387 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1388 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1391 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1392 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1393 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1394 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1396 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1397 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1398 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1399 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1400 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1401 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1404 * Moose::Error::Croak
1405 * Moose::Error::Confess
1406 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1407 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1410 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1413 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1414 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1415 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1417 * Moose::Meta::Class
1418 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1421 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1422 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1423 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1425 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1426 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1427 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1428 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1429 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1431 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1432 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1435 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1437 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1438 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1441 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1442 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1444 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1445 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1446 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1447 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1449 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1450 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1451 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1452 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1453 using it for new code!
1455 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1456 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1457 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1458 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1460 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1461 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1462 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1463 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1464 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1465 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1466 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1467 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1470 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1473 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1474 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1477 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1478 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1480 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1481 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1482 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1484 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1486 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1487 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1489 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1490 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1491 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1493 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1494 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1495 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1498 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1499 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1500 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1501 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1502 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1503 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1505 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1507 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1510 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1511 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1512 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1514 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1515 associated_methods. (hdp)
1516 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1517 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1518 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1519 misspelled) arguments
1521 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1522 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1523 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1524 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1526 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1527 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1528 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1530 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1533 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1534 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1535 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1538 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1539 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1541 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1542 * Moose::Meta::Class
1543 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1544 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1546 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1547 * Moose::Manual::Types
1548 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1549 string parsing rathole (mst)
1551 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1552 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1553 using plain objects instead
1555 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1556 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1557 that's what we need.
1559 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1560 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1561 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1562 three times today (perigrin)
1563 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1564 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1566 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1567 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1568 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1569 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1572 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1573 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1574 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1575 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1576 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1577 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1580 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1581 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1582 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1583 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1586 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1588 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1591 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1593 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1596 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1597 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1598 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1602 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1603 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1606 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1607 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1609 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1610 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1611 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1613 * Moose::Unsweetened
1614 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1616 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1617 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1620 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1624 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1625 methods during global destruction (doy)
1627 * Moose::Meta::Class
1628 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1629 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1630 consumption (Sartak)
1632 * Moose::Meta::Class
1633 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1634 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1637 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1638 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1641 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1642 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1644 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1646 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1650 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1651 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1652 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1655 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1656 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1657 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1660 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1662 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1663 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1664 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1667 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1668 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1669 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1670 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1672 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1673 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1674 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1677 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1680 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1681 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1682 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1686 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1687 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1689 * Moose::Meta::Class
1690 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1692 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1694 * Moose::Meta::Class
1695 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1696 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1699 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1700 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1703 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1704 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1707 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1710 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1713 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1716 * Moose::Meta::Class
1717 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1719 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1720 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1723 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1724 * More deprecations and renamings
1725 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1726 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1727 when an object is constructed)
1730 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1731 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1732 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1734 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1735 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1736 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1737 feature, and it works again.
1740 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1742 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1744 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1745 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1746 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1748 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1749 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1750 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1751 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1752 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1754 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1755 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1756 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1757 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1758 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1761 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1762 metaclass object. (hdp)
1764 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1765 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1766 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1768 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1769 point out this fact. (hdp)
1771 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1772 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1775 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1777 * Moose::Meta::Class
1778 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1779 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1780 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1781 called during instance construction were passed the
1782 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1783 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1785 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1786 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1789 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1790 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1791 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1794 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1795 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1796 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1797 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1798 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1800 - Moose::Meta::Class
1801 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1803 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1804 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1805 when an object is constructed)
1806 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1808 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1809 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1810 when an object is constructed)
1811 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1812 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1813 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1816 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1818 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1819 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1821 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1823 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1824 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1825 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1827 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1828 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1829 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1831 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1833 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1834 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1836 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1837 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1840 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1841 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1844 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1845 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1846 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1848 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1849 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1853 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1854 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1855 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1857 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1858 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1861 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1862 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1863 with recommended workarounds.
1865 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1866 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1868 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1869 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1870 (yes, spelled like that).
1872 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1873 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1875 * Moose::Meta::Class
1876 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1877 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1879 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1881 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1882 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1883 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1884 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1885 instead. Reported by doy.
1887 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1889 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1890 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1893 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1894 message) is now deprecated.
1895 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1896 often got it wrong. For example:
1898 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1900 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1904 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1905 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1906 bite you in weird cases.
1908 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1909 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1910 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1911 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1914 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1918 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1921 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1922 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1925 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1926 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1928 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1929 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1932 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1933 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1934 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1935 - added tests for this (stevan)
1937 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1938 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1939 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1940 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1944 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1945 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1946 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1947 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1949 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1950 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1951 - added tests for this (rafl)
1953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1954 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1955 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1956 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1960 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1961 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1964 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1965 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1966 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1968 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1970 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1971 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1973 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1974 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1975 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1976 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1977 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1979 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1980 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1981 error message did not specify the attribute name
1984 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1986 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1988 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1989 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1990 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1992 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1993 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1996 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1998 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1999 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
2000 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
2001 of fixes and formatting improvements.
2003 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
2005 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
2006 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
2007 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
2008 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
2010 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2011 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
2012 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
2014 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2015 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
2016 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
2017 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
2018 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
2020 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2021 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
2022 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
2023 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
2024 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
2026 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2027 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
2028 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
2029 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
2030 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
2031 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
2033 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2034 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2035 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2036 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2037 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2038 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2040 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2041 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2043 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2044 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2045 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2046 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2048 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2049 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2052 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2056 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2057 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2059 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2060 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2061 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2062 guts. (nothingmuch).
2064 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2065 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2066 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2069 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2070 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2071 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2073 * Moose::Meta::Class
2074 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2077 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2078 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2080 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2081 * Moose::Unsweetened
2082 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2085 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2086 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2087 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2088 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2089 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2090 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2092 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2093 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2094 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2095 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2096 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2097 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2098 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2099 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2100 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2101 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2103 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2105 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2106 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2108 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2109 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2110 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2111 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2113 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2114 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2115 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2116 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2117 same methods for a single role did not work
2118 right (worked just fine with multiple
2120 - added test for this (stevan)
2122 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2123 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2124 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2127 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2128 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2129 - added test for this (t0m)
2132 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2133 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2134 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2136 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2137 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2138 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2139 - added test for this (t0m)
2141 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2142 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2143 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2144 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2145 - added test for this (perigrin)
2148 - create method for constructing a role
2149 dynamically (Sartak)
2150 - added test for this (Sartak)
2151 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2152 - added test for this (Sartak)
2155 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2157 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2158 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2159 methods is useful (Sartak)
2161 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2162 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2163 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2166 * Moose::Meta::Class
2167 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2168 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2169 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2170 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2171 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2172 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2175 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2176 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2178 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2179 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2180 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2181 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2182 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2184 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2186 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2187 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2188 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2191 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2192 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2193 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2194 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2195 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2196 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2199 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2200 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2201 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2202 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2203 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2204 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2205 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2206 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2207 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2208 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2209 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2211 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2212 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2215 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2216 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2217 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2218 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2219 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2221 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2223 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2224 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2225 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2227 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2228 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2231 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2232 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2233 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2236 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2237 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2239 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2241 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2242 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2244 * Moose::Meta::Class
2245 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2246 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2247 a required attribute
2249 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2250 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2251 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2252 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2254 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2255 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2258 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2259 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2260 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2261 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2262 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2263 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2264 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2266 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2267 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2268 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2270 * Roles and role application
2271 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2272 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2273 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2274 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2275 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2277 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2278 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2281 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2282 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2283 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2284 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2285 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2288 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2289 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2290 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2291 changes in the Moose internals.
2293 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2294 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2295 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2298 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2299 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2300 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2301 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2303 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2304 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2305 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2306 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2308 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2309 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2310 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2311 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2312 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2313 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2314 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2315 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2316 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2317 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2318 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2319 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2320 constraint implementations.
2322 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2326 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2327 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2328 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2329 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2330 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2331 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2332 - added tests for this (rafl)
2334 * Moose::Meta::Class
2335 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2336 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2337 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2338 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2339 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2340 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2341 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2342 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2345 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2346 - added tests for this (thepler)
2348 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2349 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2350 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2351 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2354 * Moose::Meta::Class
2355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2356 * Moose::Meta::Method
2359 * Moose::Error::Default
2360 * Moose::Error::Croak
2361 * Moose::Error::Confess
2362 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2363 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2364 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2365 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2366 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2367 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2369 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2371 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2372 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2374 * Moose::Unsweetened
2375 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2376 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2377 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2379 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2380 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2381 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2382 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2383 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2386 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2387 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2389 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2390 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2391 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2392 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2395 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2397 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2398 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2400 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2403 - Various bug fixes.
2405 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2406 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2408 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2410 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2411 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2412 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2413 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2414 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2415 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2417 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2418 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2419 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2421 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2422 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2423 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2426 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2427 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2428 dependency to 0.64_07.
2430 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2431 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2432 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2434 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2435 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2438 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2439 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2440 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2441 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2442 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2443 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2445 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2446 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2448 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2450 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2451 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2455 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2456 method when that method was provided by another role being
2457 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2458 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2460 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2462 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2463 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2465 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2466 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2467 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2468 - added test for this (t0m)
2470 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2471 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2472 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2474 - added test for this (t0m)
2477 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2478 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2479 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2482 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2483 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2485 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2487 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2488 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2490 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2491 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2492 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2494 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2495 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2498 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2499 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2500 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2501 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2505 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2506 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2507 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2510 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2511 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2512 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2513 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2516 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2520 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2521 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2522 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2524 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2525 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2526 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2527 created so that the process can be more easily
2528 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2530 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2531 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2532 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2533 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2535 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2536 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2539 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2540 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2542 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2543 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2544 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2546 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2547 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2548 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2550 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2551 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2553 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2554 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2557 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2558 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2562 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2563 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2565 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2566 ... this is not my day today ...
2568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2569 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2570 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2571 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2572 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2575 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2576 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2577 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2578 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2579 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2582 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2584 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2585 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2586 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2587 this is not ever something you want to do
2588 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2589 - added tests for this (stevan)
2592 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2594 - added test for this
2596 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2597 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2598 - added tests for this (wreis)
2600 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2601 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2602 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2603 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2605 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2606 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2607 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2610 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2612 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2614 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2617 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2618 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2619 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2620 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2621 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2622 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2623 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2624 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2625 - added tests for this
2627 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2628 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2629 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2630 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2632 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2635 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2636 - added tests for this (sartak)
2637 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2638 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2641 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2643 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2644 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2647 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2648 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2649 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2651 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2653 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2654 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2657 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2658 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2659 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2661 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2662 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2663 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2665 - added docs for this (TODO).
2666 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2667 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2668 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2669 - fix builder and default both being used
2674 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2676 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2677 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2678 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2682 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2686 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2687 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2688 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2690 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2691 - move the ClassName type check code to
2692 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2694 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2695 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2697 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2698 (early morning release engineering)--
2700 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2701 which was causing the indexer to choke
2703 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2704 (late night release engineering)--
2706 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2707 changes in this release
2709 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2710 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2711 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2713 * Moose::Meta::Class
2714 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2715 since it is called so often by &meta
2717 * Moose::Meta::Class
2719 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2720 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2723 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2724 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2725 method for immutablization to check if the
2726 destructor object even needs to be created
2729 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2730 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2731 - added more descriptive error message to help
2732 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2733 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2735 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2737 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2738 XS based functionality is now optional
2739 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2740 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2741 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2743 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2744 to take care of this, mostly we added
2745 support for the package_name and name
2746 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2747 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2748 support regexp matching of names
2749 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2750 - tests added for this
2751 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2752 is currently not supported in roles,
2753 but, ... patches welcome
2754 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2755 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2756 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2759 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2760 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2761 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2762 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2763 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2764 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2765 - added test for this
2767 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2768 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2769 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2772 * Moose::Meta::Class
2773 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2777 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2779 - added tests for this
2780 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2781 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2783 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2784 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2785 themselves parameterizable types
2787 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2788 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2789 called by the inlined immutable

2844 drink more coffee before
2845 doing release engineering
2847 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,

2962 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2964 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3008 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
3009 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3302 when they encounter overriden or modified
3303 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3304 - added tests for this
3306 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3307 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3308 the | always creates a union and so is

3314 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3317 * Parameterized Types
3318 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3319 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3320 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3321 They can also be nested:
3322 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3323 And work with the type unions as well:
3324 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3326 * Better Framework Extendability
3327 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3328 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3329 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3330 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3333 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3334 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3335 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3336 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3475 - added tests and docs for this
3478 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3479 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3480 - adjusted tests for this
3482 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3483 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3484 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)
3485 * Moose::Meta::Class
3486 - Modify make_immutable to work with the new Class::MOP immutable
3487 mechanism + POD + very basic test (groditi)
3488 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3489 - Fix handles to use goto() so that caller() comes out properly on
3490 the other side (perigrin)
3492 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3493 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3494 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3495 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3496 prototypes for functions
3497 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3498 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3499 - added tests and docs for this
3500 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3501 default for where be { 1 }

3505 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3506 merlyn for finding this bug
3507 - tests added for this
3508 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3511 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3512 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3513 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3514 - added tests for this
3516 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3518 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3531 where not handled correctly in roles
3532 - added tests for this
3534 * Moose::Meta::Class
3535 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3536 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3537 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3539 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3540 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3542 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3543 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3544 so this release is just to fix that.
3547 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3548 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3549 (thanks to konobi for this)
3550 - added tests and docs
3552 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3560 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3561 functions to facilitate introspection.
3563 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3564 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3565 to build the list of delegated methods
3566 correctly (and not override important
3567 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3569 - added tests and docs for this
3570 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3571 so that you can actually document your
3572 attributes and inspect them through the
3574 - added tests and docs for this
3576 * Moose::Meta::Class
3577 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3578 it will first look in for the class in the
3579 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3580 then default to just loading $name.
3581 - added tests and docs for this
3583 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3584 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3585 - added test for this
3588 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3589 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3590 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3591 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3593 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3594 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3597 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3599 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3600 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3601 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3604 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3605 !! for this developer release to work !!
3607 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3608 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3609 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3610 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3611 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3612 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3613 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3614 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3615 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3616 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3617 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3619 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3620 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3621 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3622 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3625 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3627 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3628 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3629 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3631 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3633 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3634 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3637 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3638 called unless they actually need to be.
3639 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3640 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3641 DEMOLISH method present.
3643 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3644 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3645 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3646 type constraint, which allows for a
3647 hand optimized version of the type
3648 constraint to be used when possible.
3649 - Any internally created type constraints
3650 now provide an optimized version as well.
3652 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3654 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3655 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3656 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3658 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3659 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3660 your class namespace of these exported
3663 * Moose::Meta::Class
3664 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3665 comes up during global destruction
3667 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3671 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3674 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3675 - changed how we do type checks so that
3676 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3679 - moved accessor generation methods to
3680 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3681 conform to the API changes from
3684 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3685 - changed how constraints are compiled
3686 so that we do less recursion and more
3687 iteration. This makes the type check
3689 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3693 - created this from methods formerly found in
3694 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3696 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3697 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3699 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3700 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3702 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3703 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3705 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3707 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3708 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3709 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3710 - added tests for this
3711 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3712 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3713 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3714 - removed tests for this
3716 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3718 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3719 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3720 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3723 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3724 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3725 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3727 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3728 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3729 comments for more info.
3732 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3733 asked questions and common problems
3735 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3736 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3737 - added tests for this
3739 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3740 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3741 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3742 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3744 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3745 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3748 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3749 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3750 is much appreciated :)
3751 - added tests for this
3753 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3754 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3755 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3758 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3759 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3761 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3763 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3764 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3768 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3769 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3770 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3772 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3774 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3777 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3778 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3779 keywords because we need to localize them.
3780 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3782 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3783 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3784 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3787 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3790 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3791 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3792 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3795 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3796 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3797 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3799 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3801 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3802 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3803 bottom of your class file.
3806 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3809 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3811 - improved error message when loading modules so
3812 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3813 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3814 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3817 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3818 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3819 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3821 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3822 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3824 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3825 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3826 turn them on for you.
3827 - added tests for this
3828 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3829 in Moose::Meta::Class

3856 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3857 - This release works in combination with
3858 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3859 release because it uses the a new
3860 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3861 complete Role implementation. It has
3862 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3863 the the previous CPAN version. This
3864 release also lacks good updated docs,
3865 the official release will have updated docs.
3868 - refactored the keyword exports
3869 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3870 accepts more than one Role at a time

3876 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3877 accepts more than one Role at a time
3879 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3880 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3881 string enumerations which can be used as
3883 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3886 - more careful checking of params to new()
3889 - much work done on the role composition
3890 - many new tests for conflict detection
3891 and composition edge cases
3892 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3893 looking at the tests
3895 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3896 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3897 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3918 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3919 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3920 on a per-attribute basis
3921 - added tests for this
3922 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3923 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3924 experimental feature and probably not finished

3926 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3927 - added tests for this
