1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
9 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
10 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
11 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
15 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
16 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
20 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
21 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
22 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
24 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their
25 behavior. Previously, they returned true if any of their member types
26 returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must return
27 true. Fixes RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
31 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
32 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
33 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
34 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
37 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
41 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
42 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
45 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
46 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. Fixes
47 RT 69988. (Dave Rolsky)
49 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
50 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
51 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. Fixes RT 60583. (doy)
53 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
54 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
57 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
58 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
59 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
63 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
64 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
65 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
66 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
68 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
72 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
73 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
74 the attribute's reference.
78 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
79 sensible error. Fixes RT #69990. (Dave Rolsky)
83 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
84 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
85 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
88 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
89 the Object constraint).
91 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
95 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
96 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
101 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
103 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
107 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
110 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
112 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
116 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
118 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
122 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
125 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
126 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
127 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
129 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
132 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
136 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
138 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
142 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
144 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
148 * Include changes from 2.0010.
150 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
154 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
155 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
159 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
160 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
161 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
166 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
168 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
172 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
173 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
175 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
179 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
181 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
185 * Various packaging issues.
187 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
191 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
192 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
197 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
198 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
199 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
203 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
204 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
205 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
207 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
211 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
212 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
214 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
218 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
219 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
221 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
224 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
225 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
229 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
230 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
232 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
236 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
237 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
241 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
243 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
247 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
249 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
253 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
254 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
256 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
260 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
262 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
266 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
268 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
269 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
271 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
275 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
276 skips every other role. (rjbs)
278 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
279 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
280 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
281 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
282 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
284 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
288 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
289 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
290 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
293 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
298 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
300 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
301 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
303 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
307 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
308 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
309 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
313 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
314 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
316 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
317 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
319 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
320 environments. (doy, mateu)
322 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
326 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
327 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
328 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
329 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
333 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
334 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
336 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
340 * Update conflicts list.
343 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
347 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
348 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
349 details. (Dave Rolsky)
351 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
352 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
353 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
354 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
355 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
359 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
360 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
361 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
362 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
363 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
366 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
370 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
371 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
373 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
376 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
380 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
381 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
382 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
383 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
385 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
386 immutable classes). (mo)
388 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
389 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
390 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
392 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
396 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
398 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
400 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
404 * Fix some indexing issues.
406 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
408 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
412 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
413 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
414 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
415 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
416 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
418 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
419 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
424 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
425 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
426 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
427 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
429 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
430 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
431 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
435 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
436 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
439 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
443 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
444 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
448 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
452 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
453 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
454 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
455 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
458 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
462 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
465 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
469 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
470 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
471 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
474 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
478 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
479 policy. (Chris Prather)
481 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
482 on this new support policy. (doy)
486 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
487 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
488 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
490 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
491 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
493 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
497 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
498 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
499 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
500 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
503 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
507 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
508 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
511 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
515 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
516 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
518 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
519 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
523 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
524 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
525 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
526 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
527 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
528 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
530 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
531 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
533 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
534 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
535 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
536 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
538 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
539 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
541 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
546 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
547 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
549 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
553 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
554 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
555 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
557 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
561 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
562 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
563 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
565 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
566 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
569 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
570 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
573 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
574 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
575 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
577 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
578 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
583 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
584 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
585 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
586 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
588 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
589 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
591 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
592 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
594 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
595 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
596 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
597 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
599 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
600 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
601 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
604 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
605 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
606 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
607 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
609 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
610 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
613 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
614 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
615 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
617 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
621 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
622 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
623 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
625 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
626 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
627 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
630 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
631 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
632 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
634 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
635 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
636 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
638 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
639 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
643 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
644 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
645 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
647 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
648 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
649 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
650 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
652 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
656 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
657 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
658 value is a reference.
660 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
661 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
663 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
667 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
668 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
669 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
671 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
675 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
676 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
680 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
681 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
682 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
684 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
685 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
686 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
688 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
692 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
694 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
698 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
700 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
701 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
706 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
707 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
709 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
710 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
711 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
712 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
713 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
715 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
716 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
717 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
718 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
720 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
724 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
725 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
730 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
732 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
734 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
739 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
741 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
745 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
746 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
747 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
749 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
750 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
751 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
752 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
754 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
755 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
756 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
757 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
758 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
761 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
766 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
767 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
768 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
769 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
770 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
773 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
777 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
780 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
781 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
785 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
786 function (not just method). (doy)
790 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
791 and aren't easily installable/testable.
793 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
797 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
798 to be overridden more easily (doy).
800 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
804 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
805 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
807 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
811 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
812 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
813 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
815 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
819 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
820 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
821 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
823 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
824 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
828 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
829 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
831 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
832 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
836 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
837 is applied to a class (t0m).
839 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
840 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
842 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
845 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
846 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
848 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
849 be much more robust. (doy)
851 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
853 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
856 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
860 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
861 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
863 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
867 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
868 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
870 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
873 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
874 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
875 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
877 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
878 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
879 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
882 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
884 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
888 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
889 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
893 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
895 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
899 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
900 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
904 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
905 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
909 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
911 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
915 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
916 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
920 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
921 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
925 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
926 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
928 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
932 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
933 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
934 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
937 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
941 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
942 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
943 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
944 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
946 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
950 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
951 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
952 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
956 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
959 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
963 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
964 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
965 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
969 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
970 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
972 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
973 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
974 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
975 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
977 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
981 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
985 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
986 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
988 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
989 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
990 - Moose::Util::does_role
991 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
992 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
993 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
995 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
999 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1000 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1001 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1004 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1008 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1009 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1012 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1016 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1017 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1020 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1024 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1026 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1027 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1029 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1030 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1031 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1033 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1034 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1035 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1038 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1039 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1041 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1042 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1043 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1045 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1047 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1048 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1050 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1052 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1055 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1056 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1058 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1059 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1061 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1062 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1063 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1064 dependencies installed.
1066 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1067 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1070 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1072 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1076 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1078 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1079 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1080 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1082 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1083 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1084 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1086 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1087 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1090 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1091 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1092 others. (nothingmuch)
1094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1095 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1096 remove_accessors. (doy)
1098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1099 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1100 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1103 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1105 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1106 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1107 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1108 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1110 * Moose::Meta::Class
1111 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1112 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1115 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1117 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1119 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1120 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1123 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1124 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1125 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1126 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1127 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1129 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1130 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1131 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1132 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1133 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1134 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1135 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1138 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1139 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1140 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1141 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1142 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1144 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1145 which were not receiving the value of
1146 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1147 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1148 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1149 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1153 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1154 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1155 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1156 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1157 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1160 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1161 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1162 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1163 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1165 * Moose::Meta::Class
1166 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1167 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1168 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1171 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1173 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1175 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1176 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1177 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1180 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1181 class if you pass it options for
1182 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1183 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1184 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1185 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1186 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1187 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1188 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1189 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1190 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1192 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1193 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1194 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1195 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1196 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1199 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1200 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1201 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1202 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1205 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1206 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1207 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1208 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1209 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1212 * Moose::Error::Croak
1213 * Moose::Error::Confess
1214 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1215 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1218 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1221 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1222 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1223 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1225 * Moose::Meta::Class
1226 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1229 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1230 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1231 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1233 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1234 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1235 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1236 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1237 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1239 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1240 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1243 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1245 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1246 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1249 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1250 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1252 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1253 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1254 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1255 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1257 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1258 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1259 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1260 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1261 using it for new code!
1263 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1264 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1265 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1266 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1268 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1269 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1270 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1271 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1272 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1273 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1274 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1275 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1278 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1281 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1282 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1285 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1286 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1289 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1290 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1292 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1293 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1294 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1295 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1297 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1298 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1299 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1301 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1302 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1303 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1306 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1307 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1308 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1309 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1310 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1311 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1313 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1315 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1318 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1319 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1320 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1322 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1323 associated_methods. (hdp)
1324 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1325 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1326 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1327 misspelled) arguments
1329 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1330 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1331 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1332 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1334 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1335 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1336 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1338 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1341 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1342 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1343 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1346 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1347 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1349 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1350 * Moose::Meta::Class
1351 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1352 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1354 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1355 * Moose::Manual::Types
1356 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1357 string parsing rathole (mst)
1359 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1360 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1361 using plain objects instead
1363 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1364 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1365 that's what we need.
1367 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1368 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1369 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1370 three times today (perigrin)
1371 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1372 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1375 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1376 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1377 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1380 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1381 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1382 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1383 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1384 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1385 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1388 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1389 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1390 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1391 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1394 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1396 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1399 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1401 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1404 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1405 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1406 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1410 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1411 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1414 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1415 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1417 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1418 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1419 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1421 * Moose::Unsweetened
1422 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1424 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1425 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1428 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1432 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1433 methods during global destruction (doy)
1435 * Moose::Meta::Class
1436 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1437 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1438 consumption (Sartak)
1440 * Moose::Meta::Class
1441 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1442 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1445 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1446 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1449 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1450 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1452 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1454 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1458 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1459 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1460 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1463 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1464 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1465 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1468 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1470 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1471 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1472 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1475 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1476 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1477 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1478 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1480 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1481 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1482 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1485 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1488 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1489 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1490 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1494 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1495 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1497 * Moose::Meta::Class
1498 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1500 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1502 * Moose::Meta::Class
1503 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1504 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1507 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1508 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1511 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1512 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1515 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1518 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1520 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1521 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1524 * Moose::Meta::Class
1525 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1527 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1528 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1531 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1532 * More deprecations and renamings
1533 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1534 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1535 when an object is constructed)
1538 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1539 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1540 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1543 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1544 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1545 feature, and it works again.
1548 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1550 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1552 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1553 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1554 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1556 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1557 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1558 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1559 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1560 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1562 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1563 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1564 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1565 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1566 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1569 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1570 metaclass object. (hdp)
1572 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1573 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1574 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1575 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1576 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1577 point out this fact. (hdp)
1579 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1580 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1582 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1583 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1585 * Moose::Meta::Class
1586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1587 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1588 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1589 called during instance construction were passed the
1590 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1591 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1593 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1594 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1597 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1598 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1599 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1602 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1603 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1604 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1605 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1606 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1608 - Moose::Meta::Class
1609 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1611 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1612 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1613 when an object is constructed)
1614 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1616 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1617 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1618 when an object is constructed)
1619 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1620 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1621 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1624 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1626 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1627 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1629 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1631 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1632 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1633 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1635 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1636 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1637 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1639 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1641 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1642 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1644 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1645 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1648 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1649 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1652 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1653 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1654 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1656 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1657 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1661 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1662 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1663 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1665 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1666 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1669 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1670 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1671 with recommended workarounds.
1673 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1674 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1676 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1677 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1678 (yes, spelled like that).
1680 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1681 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1683 * Moose::Meta::Class
1684 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1685 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1687 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1689 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1690 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1691 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1692 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1693 instead. Reported by doy.
1695 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1697 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1698 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1700 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1701 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1702 message) is now deprecated.
1703 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1704 often got it wrong. For example:
1706 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1708 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1712 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1713 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1714 bite you in weird cases.
1716 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1717 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1718 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1719 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1721 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1722 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1726 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1729 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1730 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1734 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1736 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1737 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1740 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1741 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1742 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1743 - added tests for this (stevan)
1745 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1746 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1747 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1748 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1752 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1753 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1754 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1755 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1757 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1758 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1759 - added tests for this (rafl)
1761 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1762 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1763 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1764 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1768 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1769 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1772 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1773 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1774 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1776 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1778 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1779 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1781 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1782 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1783 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1784 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1785 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1787 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1788 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1789 error message did not specify the attribute name
1792 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1794 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1796 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1797 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1798 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1800 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1801 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1804 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1806 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1807 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1808 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1809 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1811 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1813 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1814 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1815 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1816 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1818 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1819 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1820 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1823 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1824 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1825 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1826 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1829 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1830 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1831 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1832 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1834 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1835 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1836 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1837 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1838 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1839 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1841 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1842 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1843 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1844 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1845 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1846 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1848 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1849 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1851 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1852 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1853 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1854 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1856 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1857 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1860 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1864 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1865 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1867 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1868 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1869 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1870 guts. (nothingmuch).
1872 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1873 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1874 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1876 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1877 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1878 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1879 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1881 * Moose::Meta::Class
1882 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1885 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1886 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1888 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1889 * Moose::Unsweetened
1890 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1893 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1894 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1895 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1896 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1897 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1898 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1900 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1901 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1902 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1903 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1904 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1905 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1906 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1907 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1908 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1909 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1911 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1913 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1914 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1916 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1917 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1918 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1919 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1921 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1922 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1923 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1924 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1925 same methods for a single role did not work
1926 right (worked just fine with multiple
1928 - added test for this (stevan)
1930 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1931 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1932 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1935 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1936 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1937 - added test for this (t0m)
1940 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1941 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1942 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1944 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1945 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1946 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1947 - added test for this (t0m)
1949 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1950 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1951 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1952 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1953 - added test for this (perigrin)
1956 - create method for constructing a role
1957 dynamically (Sartak)
1958 - added test for this (Sartak)
1959 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1960 - added test for this (Sartak)
1963 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1965 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1966 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1967 methods is useful (Sartak)
1969 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1970 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1971 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1974 * Moose::Meta::Class
1975 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1976 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1977 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1978 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1979 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1980 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1983 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1984 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1986 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1987 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1988 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1989 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1990 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1992 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1994 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1995 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1996 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1999 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2000 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2001 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2002 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2003 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2004 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2008 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2009 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2010 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2011 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2012 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2013 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2014 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2015 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2016 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2017 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2019 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2020 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2023 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2024 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2025 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2026 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2027 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2029 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2031 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2032 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2033 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2035 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2036 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2038 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2039 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2040 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2041 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2044 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2045 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2047 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2049 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2050 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2052 * Moose::Meta::Class
2053 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2054 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2055 a required attribute
2057 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2058 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2059 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2060 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2062 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2063 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2065 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2066 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2067 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2068 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2069 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2070 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2071 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2072 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2074 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2075 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2076 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2078 * Roles and role application
2079 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2080 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2081 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2082 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2083 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2085 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2086 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2089 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2090 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2091 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2092 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2093 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2096 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2097 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2098 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2099 changes in the Moose internals.
2101 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2102 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2103 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2106 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2107 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2108 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2109 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2111 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2112 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2113 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2114 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2116 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2117 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2118 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2119 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2120 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2121 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2122 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2123 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2124 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2125 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2126 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2127 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2128 constraint implementations.
2130 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2134 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2135 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2136 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2137 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2138 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2139 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2140 - added tests for this (rafl)
2142 * Moose::Meta::Class
2143 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2144 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2145 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2146 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2147 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2148 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2149 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2150 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2153 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2154 - added tests for this (thepler)
2156 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2157 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2158 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2159 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2162 * Moose::Meta::Class
2163 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2164 * Moose::Meta::Method
2167 * Moose::Error::Default
2168 * Moose::Error::Croak
2169 * Moose::Error::Confess
2170 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2171 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2172 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2173 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2174 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2175 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2177 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2179 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2180 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2182 * Moose::Unsweetened
2183 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2184 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2185 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2187 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2188 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2189 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2190 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2191 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2194 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2195 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2197 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2198 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2199 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2200 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the

2218 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2219 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2220 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2221 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2222 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2223 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)

2239 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2240 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2243 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2246 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2247 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2248 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2249 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2250 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2251 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2253 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2254 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2256 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2258 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2259 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2263 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2264 method when that method was provided by another role being
2265 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2266 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2268 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2275 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2276 - added test for this (t0m)
2278 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2279 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2280 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2282 - added test for this (t0m)
2285 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2286 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2287 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2290 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2291 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2293 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2295 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2296 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2298 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2299 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2300 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2302 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2303 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2306 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2307 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2309 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2313 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2314 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2315 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2318 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2319 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2320 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2321 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2324 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2328 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2329 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2330 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2332 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2333 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2334 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2335 created so that the process can be more easily
2336 overridden by subclasses (stevan)

2361 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2362 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2365 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2366 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2370 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2371 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2373 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2374 ... this is not my day today ...
2376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2377 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2378 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2379 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2380 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2383 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2384 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2385 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2386 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2387 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2390 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2392 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2393 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2394 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2395 this is not ever something you want to do
2396 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2397 - added tests for this (stevan)
2400 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2402 - added test for this
2404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2410 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2411 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2413 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2414 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2415 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2418 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2420 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2422 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2425 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2426 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2427 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2428 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2429 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2430 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2431 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2432 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2433 - added tests for this
2435 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2436 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2437 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2438 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2440 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)

2495 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2496 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2498 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2499 - move the ClassName type check code to
2500 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2502 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2503 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2505 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2506 (early morning release engineering)--
2508 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2509 which was causing the indexer to choke
2511 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2512 (late night release engineering)--
2514 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2515 changes in this release
2517 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008

2523 since it is called so often by &meta
2525 * Moose::Meta::Class
2527 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2528 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2531 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2532 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2533 method for immutablization to check if the
2534 destructor object even needs to be created
2537 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2538 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2539 - added more descriptive error message to help
2540 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2541 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2543 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2545 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2546 XS based functionality is now optional
2547 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2548 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2549 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2551 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2552 to take care of this, mostly we added
2553 support for the package_name and name
2554 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2555 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2556 support regexp matching of names
2557 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2558 - tests added for this
2559 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2560 is currently not supported in roles,
2561 but, ... patches welcome
2562 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2563 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2564 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2567 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2568 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2569 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2570 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2571 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2572 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2573 - added test for this
2575 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2576 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2577 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2580 * Moose::Meta::Class
2581 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2585 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2587 - added tests for this
2588 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2589 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2591 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2592 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2593 themselves parameterizable types
2595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2596 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2597 called by the inlined immutable
2599 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2602 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2603 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2604 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2606 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2607 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2611 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was

2619 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2622 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2623 ->body when looping through the
2624 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2626 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2627 eating the $@ values, and so not
2628 working correctly, it still kind of
2629 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2630 - added tests for this
2632 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2633 - added new recipe for immutable
2634 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2636 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2637 - added new recipe for builder and

2642 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2645 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)

2648 since Module::Install has done that.
2650 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2652 drink more coffee before
2653 doing release engineering
2655 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2656 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2657 modules. This fixes that.
2659 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2660 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2661 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2670 - Changed all usage of die to Carp::croak for better
2671 error reporting (initial patch by Tod Hagan)
2673 ** IMPORTANT NOTE **
2674 - the make_immutable keyword is now deprecated, don't
2675 use it in any new code and please fix your old code
2676 as well. There will be 2 releases, and then it will
2682 - refactored the way inner and super work to avoid
2683 any method/@ISA cache penalty (nothingmuch)

2687 coerced value (spotted by Charles Alderman on the
2689 - added test for this
2691 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2692 - immutable classes which had non-lazy attributes were calling
2693 the default generating sub twice in the constructor. (bug

2714 to allow introspection of traits
2715 - added tests for this

2770 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2772 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2773 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2774 sense, people are using it, and so why not just

2776 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2777 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)

2812 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2814 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2815 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2816 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2817 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2818 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2820 - added more delegation tests
2821 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2822 support traits and their introspection.

3063 - added tests for this
3066 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3067 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3106 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3109 - fixed how required methods are handled
3110 when they encounter overriden or modified
3111 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3112 - added tests for this
3114 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3115 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3116 the | always creates a union and so is
3117 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3118 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3120 - added more tests for this
3122 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3125 * Parameterized Types
3126 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3127 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3128 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3129 They can also be nested:
3130 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3131 And work with the type unions as well:
3132 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3134 * Better Framework Extendability
3135 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3136 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3137 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3138 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3141 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3142 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3143 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3144 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3378 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3379 so that you can actually document your
3380 attributes and inspect them through the

3384 * Moose::Meta::Class
3385 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3386 it will first look in for the class in the
3387 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3388 then default to just loading $name.
3389 - added tests and docs for this
3391 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3392 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3393 - added test for this
3396 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3398 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3399 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3401 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3402 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3405 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3407 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3408 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3409 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3412 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3413 !! for this developer release to work !!
3415 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3416 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3417 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3418 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3419 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3420 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3421 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3422 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3423 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3424 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3425 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3427 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3428 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3429 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3430 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3433 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3434 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3435 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3436 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3437 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3439 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3441 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3442 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3445 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3446 called unless they actually need to be.
3447 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3448 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3449 DEMOLISH method present.
3451 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3452 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3453 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3454 type constraint, which allows for a
3455 hand optimized version of the type
3456 constraint to be used when possible.
3457 - Any internally created type constraints
3458 now provide an optimized version as well.
3460 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3462 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3463 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3464 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3466 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3467 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3468 your class namespace of these exported
3471 * Moose::Meta::Class
3472 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3473 comes up during global destruction
3475 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3479 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3482 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3483 - changed how we do type checks so that
3484 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3487 - moved accessor generation methods to
3488 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3489 conform to the API changes from
3492 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3493 - changed how constraints are compiled
3494 so that we do less recursion and more
3495 iteration. This makes the type check
3497 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3500 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3501 - created this from methods formerly found in
3502 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3504 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3505 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3507 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3508 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3510 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3511 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3513 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3515 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3516 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3517 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3518 - added tests for this
3519 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3520 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3521 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3522 - removed tests for this
3524 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3526 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3527 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3528 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3531 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3532 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3533 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3535 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3536 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3537 comments for more info.
3540 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3541 asked questions and common problems
3543 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3544 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3545 - added tests for this
3547 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3548 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3549 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3550 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3552 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3553 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3556 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3557 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3558 is much appreciated :)
3559 - added tests for this
3561 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3562 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3563 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3566 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3567 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3569 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3571 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3572 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3576 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3577 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3578 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3580 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3582 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3585 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3586 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3587 keywords because we need to localize them.
3588 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3590 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3591 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3592 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3595 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3598 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3599 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3600 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3603 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3604 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3605 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3607 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3609 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3610 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3611 bottom of your class file.
3614 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3617 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3619 - improved error message when loading modules so
3620 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3621 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3622 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3625 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3626 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3627 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3629 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3630 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3632 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3633 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3634 turn them on for you.
3635 - added tests for this
3636 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3637 in Moose::Meta::Class
3640 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3641 automatically turned on for you.

3660 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3663 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3664 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3665 - This release works in combination with
3666 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3667 release because it uses the a new
3668 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3669 complete Role implementation. It has
3670 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3671 the the previous CPAN version. This
3672 release also lacks good updated docs,
3673 the official release will have updated docs.
3676 - refactored the keyword exports
3677 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3678 accepts more than one Role at a time
3679 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3680 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3683 - refactored the keyword exports
3684 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3685 accepts more than one Role at a time
3687 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3688 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3689 string enumerations which can be used as
3691 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3694 - more careful checking of params to new()
3697 - much work done on the role composition
3698 - many new tests for conflict detection
3699 and composition edge cases
3700 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3701 looking at the tests
3703 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3704 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3705 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3707 * Moose::Meta::Class
3708 - some small changes to support the new
3710 - some small additions to support Roles
3712 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3713 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3715 - some small changes to support the new
3717 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3718 with the 'handles' option
3719 - added several tests for this
3720 - no docs for this yet
3722 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3724 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3725 thanks to chansen for this commit
3726 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3727 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3728 on a per-attribute basis
3729 - added tests for this
3730 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3731 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3732 experimental feature and probably not finished

3734 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3735 - added tests for this

3797 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3799 - added test for this
3802 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
