1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0604 Wed, Sep 19, 2012
10 * Fix nonsensical error message for inlined accessors of required attributes.
13 * Stop trying to localize a lexical (blead now throws an error for this). RT
14 #79257, perl #114628. (sprout)
18 * Depend on a version of Carp new enough to have caller_info. RT #79367.
21 2.0603 Thu, Jun 28, 2012
25 * Fix test failure in blead. RT #78085.
27 2.0602 Mon, May 07, 2012
31 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
32 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
33 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
34 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
35 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
37 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
41 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
42 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
43 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
45 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
49 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
51 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
55 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
56 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
57 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
60 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
62 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
66 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
68 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
72 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
73 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
77 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
78 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
79 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
80 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
81 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
86 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
87 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
88 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
89 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
91 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
92 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
93 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
95 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
96 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
97 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
98 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
100 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
101 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
102 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
103 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
105 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
106 package which was deleted. (doy)
108 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
112 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
114 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
118 * Minor documentation fixes.
120 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
121 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
123 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
127 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
128 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
130 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
134 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
136 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
140 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
142 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
145 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
149 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
151 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
152 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
156 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
157 more values were required. (rjbs)
159 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
163 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
164 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
168 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
169 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
170 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
171 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
173 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
174 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
175 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
177 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
178 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
181 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
182 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
183 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
184 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
188 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
189 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
190 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
191 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
194 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
198 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
199 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
200 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
202 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
203 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
204 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
206 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
207 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
208 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
210 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
211 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
214 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
215 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
216 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
218 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
219 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
222 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
223 the associated stash. (doy)
227 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
228 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
229 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
230 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
232 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
236 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
237 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
238 the attribute's reference.
242 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
243 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
248 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
249 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
250 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
253 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
254 the Object constraint).
256 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
260 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
261 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
266 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
268 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
272 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
275 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
277 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
281 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
283 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
287 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
290 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
291 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
292 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
294 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
297 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
301 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
303 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
307 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
309 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
313 * Include changes from 2.0010.
315 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
319 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
320 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
324 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
325 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
326 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
331 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
333 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
337 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
338 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
340 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
344 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
346 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
350 * Various packaging issues.
352 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
356 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
357 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
362 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
363 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
364 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
368 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
369 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
370 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
372 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
376 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
377 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
379 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
383 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
384 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
386 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
389 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
390 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
394 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
395 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
397 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
401 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
402 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
406 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
408 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
412 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
414 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
418 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
419 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
421 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
425 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
427 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
431 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
433 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
434 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
436 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
440 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
441 skips every other role. (rjbs)
443 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
444 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
445 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
446 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
447 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
449 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
453 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
454 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
455 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
458 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
463 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
465 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
466 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
468 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
472 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
473 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
474 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
478 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
479 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
481 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
482 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
484 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
485 environments. (doy, mateu)
487 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
491 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
492 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
493 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
494 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
498 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
499 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
501 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
505 * Update conflicts list.
508 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
512 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
513 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
514 details. (Dave Rolsky)
516 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
517 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
518 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
519 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
520 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
524 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
525 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
526 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
527 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
528 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
531 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
535 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
536 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
538 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
541 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
545 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
546 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
547 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
548 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
550 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
551 immutable classes). (mo)
553 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
554 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
555 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
557 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
561 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
563 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
565 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
569 * Fix some indexing issues.
571 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
573 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
577 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
578 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
579 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
580 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
581 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
583 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
584 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
589 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
590 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
591 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
592 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
594 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
595 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
596 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
600 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
601 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
604 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
608 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
609 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
613 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
617 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
618 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
619 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
620 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
623 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
627 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
630 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
634 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
635 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
636 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
639 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
643 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
644 policy. (Chris Prather)
646 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
647 on this new support policy. (doy)
651 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
652 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
653 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
655 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
656 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
658 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
662 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
663 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
664 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
665 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
668 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
672 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
673 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
676 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
680 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
681 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
683 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
684 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
688 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
689 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
690 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
691 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
692 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
693 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
695 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
696 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
698 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
699 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
700 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
701 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
703 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
704 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
706 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
711 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
712 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
714 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
718 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
719 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
720 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
722 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
726 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
727 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
728 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
730 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
731 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
734 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
735 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
738 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
739 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
740 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
742 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
743 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
748 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
749 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
750 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
751 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
753 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
754 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
756 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
757 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
759 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
760 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
761 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
762 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
764 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
765 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
766 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
769 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
770 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
771 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
772 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
774 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
775 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
778 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
779 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
780 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
782 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
786 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
787 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
788 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
790 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
791 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
792 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
795 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
796 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
797 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
799 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
800 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
801 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
803 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
804 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
808 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
809 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
810 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
812 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
813 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
814 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
815 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
817 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
821 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
822 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
823 value is a reference.
825 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
826 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
828 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
832 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
833 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
834 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
836 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
840 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
841 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
845 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
846 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
847 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
849 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
850 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
851 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
853 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
857 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
859 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
863 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
865 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
866 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
871 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
872 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
874 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
875 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
876 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
877 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
878 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
880 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
881 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
882 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
883 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
885 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
889 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
890 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
895 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
897 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
899 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
904 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
906 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
910 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
911 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
912 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
914 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
915 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
916 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
917 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
919 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
920 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
921 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
922 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
923 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
926 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
931 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
932 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
933 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
934 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
935 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
938 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
942 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
945 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
946 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
950 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
951 function (not just method). (doy)
955 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
956 and aren't easily installable/testable.
958 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
962 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
963 to be overridden more easily (doy).
965 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
969 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
970 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
972 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
976 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
977 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
978 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
980 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
984 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
985 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
986 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
988 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
989 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
993 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
994 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
996 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
997 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
1001 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
1002 is applied to a class (t0m).
1004 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
1005 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
1007 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
1010 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
1011 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
1013 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1014 be much more robust. (doy)
1016 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1018 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1021 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1025 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1026 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1028 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1032 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1033 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1035 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1038 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1039 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1040 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1042 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1043 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1044 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1047 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1049 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1053 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1054 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1058 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1060 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1064 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1065 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1069 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1070 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1074 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1076 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1080 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1081 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1085 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1086 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1090 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1091 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1093 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1097 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1098 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1099 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1102 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1106 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1107 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1108 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1109 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1111 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1115 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1116 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1117 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1121 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1122 (Michael G. Schwern)
1124 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1128 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1129 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1130 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1134 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1135 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1137 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1138 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1139 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1140 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1142 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1146 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1150 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1151 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1153 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1154 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1155 - Moose::Util::does_role
1156 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1157 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1158 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1160 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1164 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1165 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1166 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1169 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1173 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1174 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1177 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1181 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1182 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1185 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1189 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1191 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1192 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1194 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1195 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1196 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1198 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1199 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1200 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1203 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1204 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1206 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1207 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1208 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1210 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1212 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1213 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1215 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1217 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1220 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1221 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1223 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1224 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1226 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1227 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1228 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1229 dependencies installed.
1231 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1232 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1235 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1237 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1241 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1244 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1245 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1247 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1248 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1249 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1251 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1252 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1255 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1256 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1257 others. (nothingmuch)
1259 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1260 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1261 remove_accessors. (doy)
1263 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1264 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1265 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1268 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1270 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1271 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1272 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1273 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1275 * Moose::Meta::Class
1276 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1277 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1280 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1282 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1284 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1285 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1289 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1290 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1291 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1292 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1294 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1295 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1296 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1297 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1298 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1299 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1300 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1303 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1304 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1305 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1306 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1307 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1309 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1310 which were not receiving the value of
1311 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1312 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1313 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1314 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1318 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1319 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1320 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1321 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1322 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1325 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1326 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1327 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1328 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1330 * Moose::Meta::Class
1331 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1332 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1333 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1336 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1337 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1338 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1340 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1341 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1342 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1345 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1346 class if you pass it options for
1347 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1348 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1349 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1350 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1351 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1352 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1353 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1354 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1355 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1357 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1358 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1359 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1360 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1361 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1364 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1365 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1366 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1367 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1369 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1370 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1371 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1372 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1373 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1374 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1377 * Moose::Error::Croak
1378 * Moose::Error::Confess
1379 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1380 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1383 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1386 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1387 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1388 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1390 * Moose::Meta::Class
1391 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1394 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1395 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1396 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1398 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1399 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1400 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1401 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1402 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1405 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1408 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1410 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1411 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1414 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1415 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1417 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1418 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1419 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1420 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1422 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1423 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1424 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1425 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1426 using it for new code!
1428 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1429 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1430 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1431 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1433 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1434 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1435 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1436 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1437 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1438 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1439 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1440 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1443 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1446 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1447 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1450 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1451 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1453 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1454 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1455 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1457 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1458 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1459 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1460 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1462 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1463 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1464 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1466 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1467 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1468 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1471 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1472 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1473 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1474 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1475 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1476 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)

1480 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1484 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1485 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1487 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1488 associated_methods. (hdp)
1489 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1490 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1491 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1492 misspelled) arguments
1494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1495 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1496 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1497 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1499 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1500 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1501 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1503 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1506 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1507 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1508 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1511 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1512 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1514 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1515 * Moose::Meta::Class
1516 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1517 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1519 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1520 * Moose::Manual::Types
1521 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1522 string parsing rathole (mst)
1524 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1525 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1526 using plain objects instead
1528 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1529 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1530 that's what we need.
1532 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1533 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1534 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1535 three times today (perigrin)
1536 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1537 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1539 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1540 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1541 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1542 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1545 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1546 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1547 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1548 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1549 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1550 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1553 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1554 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1555 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1556 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1559 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1561 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1564 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1566 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1569 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1570 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1571 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1575 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1576 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1579 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1580 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1582 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1583 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1584 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1586 * Moose::Unsweetened
1587 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1589 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1590 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1593 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1597 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1598 methods during global destruction (doy)
1600 * Moose::Meta::Class
1601 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1602 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1603 consumption (Sartak)
1605 * Moose::Meta::Class
1606 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1607 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1610 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1611 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1614 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1615 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1617 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1619 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1623 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1624 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1625 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1628 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1629 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1630 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1633 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1635 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1637 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1640 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1641 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1642 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1643 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1645 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1646 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1647 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1650 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1653 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1654 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1655 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1659 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1660 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1662 * Moose::Meta::Class
1663 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1665 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1667 * Moose::Meta::Class
1668 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1669 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1672 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1673 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1676 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1677 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1680 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1683 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1685 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1686 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1689 * Moose::Meta::Class
1690 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1692 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1693 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1696 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1697 * More deprecations and renamings
1698 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1699 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1700 when an object is constructed)
1703 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1704 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1705 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1707 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1708 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1709 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1710 feature, and it works again.
1713 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1715 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1717 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1718 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1719 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1722 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1723 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1724 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1725 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1728 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1729 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1730 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1731 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1734 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1735 metaclass object. (hdp)
1737 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1738 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1739 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1740 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1741 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1742 point out this fact. (hdp)
1744 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1745 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1747 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1748 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1750 * Moose::Meta::Class
1751 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1752 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1753 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1754 called during instance construction were passed the
1755 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1756 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1758 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1759 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1762 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1763 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1764 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1767 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1768 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1769 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1770 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1771 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1773 - Moose::Meta::Class
1774 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1776 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1777 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1778 when an object is constructed)
1779 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1781 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1782 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1783 when an object is constructed)
1784 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1785 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1786 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1789 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1791 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1792 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1794 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1796 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1797 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1798 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1800 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1801 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1802 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1804 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1806 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1807 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1809 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1810 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1813 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1814 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1817 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1818 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1819 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1821 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1822 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1826 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1827 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1828 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1830 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1831 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1834 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1835 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1836 with recommended workarounds.
1838 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1839 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1841 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1842 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1843 (yes, spelled like that).
1845 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1846 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1848 * Moose::Meta::Class
1849 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1850 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1852 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1855 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1856 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1857 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1858 instead. Reported by doy.
1860 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1862 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1863 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1865 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1866 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1867 message) is now deprecated.
1868 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1869 often got it wrong. For example:
1871 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1873 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1877 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1878 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1879 bite you in weird cases.
1881 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1882 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1883 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1884 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1886 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1887 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1891 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1894 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1895 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1899 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1901 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1902 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1905 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1906 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1907 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1908 - added tests for this (stevan)
1910 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1911 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1912 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1913 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1917 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1918 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1919 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1920 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1922 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1923 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1924 - added tests for this (rafl)
1926 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1927 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1928 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1929 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1933 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1934 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1937 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1938 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1939 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1941 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1943 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1944 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1946 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1947 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1948 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1949 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1950 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1952 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1953 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1954 error message did not specify the attribute name
1957 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1959 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1961 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1962 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1963 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1965 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1966 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1969 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1971 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1972 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1973 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1974 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1976 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1978 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1979 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1980 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1981 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1983 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1984 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1985 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1987 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1988 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1989 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1990 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1991 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1993 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1994 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1995 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1996 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1997 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1999 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2000 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
2001 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
2002 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
2003 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
2004 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
2006 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
2007 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
2008 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
2009 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
2010 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
2011 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
2013 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2014 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2016 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2017 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2018 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2019 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2022 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2025 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2029 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2030 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2032 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2033 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2034 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2035 guts. (nothingmuch).
2037 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2038 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2039 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2041 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2042 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2043 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2044 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2046 * Moose::Meta::Class
2047 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2050 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2051 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2053 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2054 * Moose::Unsweetened
2055 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2058 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2059 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2060 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2061 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2062 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2063 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2065 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2066 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2067 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2068 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2069 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2070 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2071 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2072 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2073 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2074 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2076 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2078 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2079 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2081 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2082 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2083 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2084 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2086 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2087 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2088 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2089 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2090 same methods for a single role did not work
2091 right (worked just fine with multiple
2093 - added test for this (stevan)
2095 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2096 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2097 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2100 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2101 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2102 - added test for this (t0m)
2105 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2106 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2107 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2110 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2111 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2112 - added test for this (t0m)
2114 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2115 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2116 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2117 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2118 - added test for this (perigrin)
2121 - create method for constructing a role
2122 dynamically (Sartak)
2123 - added test for this (Sartak)
2124 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2125 - added test for this (Sartak)
2128 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2130 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2131 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2132 methods is useful (Sartak)
2134 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2135 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2136 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2139 * Moose::Meta::Class
2140 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2141 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2142 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2143 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2144 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2145 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2148 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2149 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2151 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2152 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2153 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2154 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2155 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2157 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2159 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2160 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2161 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2164 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2165 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2166 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2167 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2168 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2169 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2173 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2174 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2175 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2176 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2177 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2178 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2179 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2180 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2181 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2182 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2184 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2185 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2188 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2189 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2190 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2191 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2192 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2194 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2196 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2197 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2198 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2200 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2201 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2203 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2204 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2205 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2206 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2209 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2210 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2212 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2214 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2215 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2217 * Moose::Meta::Class
2218 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2219 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2220 a required attribute
2222 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2223 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2224 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2225 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2227 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2228 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2230 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2231 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2232 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2233 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2234 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2235 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2236 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2237 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2239 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2240 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2241 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2243 * Roles and role application
2244 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2245 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2246 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2247 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2248 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2250 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2251 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2254 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2255 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2256 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2257 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2258 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2261 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2262 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2263 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2264 changes in the Moose internals.
2266 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2267 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2268 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2271 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2272 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2273 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2274 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2276 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2277 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2278 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2279 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2281 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2282 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2283 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2284 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2285 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2286 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2287 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2288 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2289 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2290 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2291 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2292 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2293 constraint implementations.
2295 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2299 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2300 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2301 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2302 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2303 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2304 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2305 - added tests for this (rafl)
2307 * Moose::Meta::Class
2308 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2309 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2310 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2311 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2312 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2313 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2314 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2315 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2318 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2319 - added tests for this (thepler)
2321 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2322 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2323 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2324 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2327 * Moose::Meta::Class
2328 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2329 * Moose::Meta::Method
2332 * Moose::Error::Default
2333 * Moose::Error::Croak
2334 * Moose::Error::Confess
2335 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2336 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2337 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2338 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2339 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2340 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2342 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2344 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2345 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2347 * Moose::Unsweetened
2348 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2349 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2350 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2352 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2353 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2354 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2355 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2356 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2359 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2360 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2362 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2363 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2364 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2365 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2368 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2370 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2371 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2373 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2376 - Various bug fixes.
2378 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2379 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2381 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2383 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2384 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2385 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2386 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2387 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2388 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2390 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2391 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2392 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2394 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2395 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2396 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2399 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2400 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2401 dependency to 0.64_07.
2403 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2404 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2405 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2407 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2408 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2411 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2412 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2413 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2414 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2415 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2416 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2418 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2419 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2421 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2423 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2424 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2428 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2429 method when that method was provided by another role being
2430 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2431 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2433 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2435 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2436 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2438 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2439 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2440 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2441 - added test for this (t0m)
2443 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2444 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2445 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2447 - added test for this (t0m)
2450 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2451 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2452 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2455 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2456 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2458 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2460 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2461 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2463 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2464 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2465 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2467 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2468 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2471 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2472 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2473 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2474 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2478 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2479 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2480 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2483 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2484 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2485 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2486 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2489 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2493 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2494 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2495 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2497 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2498 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2499 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2500 created so that the process can be more easily
2501 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2504 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2505 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2506 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2508 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2509 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2512 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2513 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2515 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2516 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2517 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2519 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2520 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2521 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2523 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2524 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2526 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2527 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2530 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2531 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2535 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2536 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2538 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2539 ... this is not my day today ...
2541 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2542 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2543 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2544 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2545 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2548 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2549 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2550 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2551 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2552 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2555 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2557 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2558 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2559 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2560 this is not ever something you want to do
2561 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2562 - added tests for this (stevan)
2565 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2567 - added test for this
2569 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2570 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2571 - added tests for this (wreis)
2573 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2574 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2575 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2576 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2578 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2579 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2580 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2583 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2585 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2587 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2590 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2591 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2592 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2593 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2594 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2595 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2596 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2597 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2598 - added tests for this
2600 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2601 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2602 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2603 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2605 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2607 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2608 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2609 - added tests for this (sartak)
2610 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2611 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2614 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2616 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2617 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2619 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2620 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2621 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2622 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2624 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2626 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2627 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2630 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2631 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2632 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2634 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2635 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2636 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2638 - added docs for this (TODO).
2639 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2640 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2641 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2642 - fix builder and default both being used
2647 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2649 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2650 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2651 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2655 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2659 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2660 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2661 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2663 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2664 - move the ClassName type check code to
2665 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2667 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2668 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2670 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2671 (early morning release engineering)--
2673 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2674 which was causing the indexer to choke
2676 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2677 (late night release engineering)--
2679 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2680 changes in this release
2682 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2683 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2684 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2686 * Moose::Meta::Class
2687 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2688 since it is called so often by &meta
2690 * Moose::Meta::Class
2692 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2693 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2696 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2697 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2698 method for immutablization to check if the
2699 destructor object even needs to be created
2702 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2703 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2704 - added more descriptive error message to help
2705 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2706 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2708 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2710 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2711 XS based functionality is now optional
2712 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2713 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2714 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2716 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2717 to take care of this, mostly we added
2718 support for the package_name and name
2719 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2720 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2721 support regexp matching of names
2722 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2723 - tests added for this
2724 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2725 is currently not supported in roles,
2726 but, ... patches welcome
2727 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2728 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2729 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2732 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2733 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2734 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2735 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2736 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2737 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2738 - added test for this
2740 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2741 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2742 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2745 * Moose::Meta::Class
2746 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2750 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2752 - added tests for this
2753 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2754 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2756 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2757 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2758 themselves parameterizable types
2760 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2761 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2762 called by the inlined immutable
2764 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2766 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2767 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2768 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2769 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2771 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2772 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2776 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2777 causing occasional cpantester failures
2778 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2779 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2781 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2783 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2784 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2787 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2788 ->body when looping through the
2789 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2791 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was

2935 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2937 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2938 that come from recently composed roles. It makes

2981 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2982 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3275 when they encounter overriden or modified
3276 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3277 - added tests for this

3287 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3290 * Parameterized Types
3291 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3292 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3293 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3294 They can also be nested:
3295 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3296 And work with the type unions as well:
3297 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3299 * Better Framework Extendability
3300 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3301 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3302 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3303 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3306 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3307 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3308 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3309 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3467 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3468 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3469 prototypes for functions
3470 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3471 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3472 - added tests and docs for this
3473 - subtyping just in name now works correctly by making the
3474 default for where be { 1 }
3475 - added test for this
3477 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3478 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3479 merlyn for finding this bug
3480 - tests added for this
3481 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3484 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3485 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3486 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3487 - added tests for this
3489 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3491 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3492 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest
3493 - altered unimport tests to handle this
3496 - altered super export to populate SUPER_SLOT
3498 * Moose::Meta::Class
3499 - altered augment and override modifier application to use *_SLOT
3500 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
3503 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3504 where not handled correctly in roles
3505 - added tests for this
3507 * Moose::Meta::Class
3508 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3509 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3510 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3512 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3513 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3515 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3516 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3517 so this release is just to fix that.
3520 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3521 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3522 (thanks to konobi for this)
3523 - added tests and docs
3525 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3526 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3528 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3529 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3530 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3531 - added tests for this
3532 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3533 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3534 functions to facilitate introspection.
3536 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3537 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3538 to build the list of delegated methods
3539 correctly (and not override important
3540 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3542 - added tests and docs for this
3543 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3544 so that you can actually document your
3545 attributes and inspect them through the
3547 - added tests and docs for this
3549 * Moose::Meta::Class
3550 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3551 it will first look in for the class in the
3552 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3553 then default to just loading $name.
3554 - added tests and docs for this
3556 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3557 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3558 - added test for this
3561 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3562 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3563 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3564 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3566 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3567 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3570 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3572 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3573 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3574 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3577 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3578 !! for this developer release to work !!
3580 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3581 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3582 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3583 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3584 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3585 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3586 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3587 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3588 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3589 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3590 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3592 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3593 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3594 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3595 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3598 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3599 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3600 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3601 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3602 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3604 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3606 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3607 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3610 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3611 called unless they actually need to be.
3612 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3613 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3614 DEMOLISH method present.
3616 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3617 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3618 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3619 type constraint, which allows for a
3620 hand optimized version of the type
3621 constraint to be used when possible.
3622 - Any internally created type constraints
3623 now provide an optimized version as well.
3625 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3627 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3628 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3629 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3631 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3632 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3633 your class namespace of these exported
3636 * Moose::Meta::Class
3637 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3638 comes up during global destruction
3640 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3644 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3647 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3648 - changed how we do type checks so that
3649 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3652 - moved accessor generation methods to
3653 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3654 conform to the API changes from
3657 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3658 - changed how constraints are compiled
3659 so that we do less recursion and more
3660 iteration. This makes the type check
3662 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3665 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3666 - created this from methods formerly found in
3667 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3669 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3670 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3672 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3673 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3675 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3676 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3678 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3680 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3681 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3682 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3683 - added tests for this
3684 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3685 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3686 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3687 - removed tests for this
3689 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3691 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3692 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3693 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3696 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3697 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3698 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3700 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3701 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3702 comments for more info.
3705 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3706 asked questions and common problems
3708 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3709 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3710 - added tests for this
3712 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3713 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3714 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3715 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3717 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3718 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3721 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3722 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3723 is much appreciated :)
3724 - added tests for this
3726 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3727 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3728 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3731 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3732 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3734 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3736 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3737 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3741 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3742 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3743 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3745 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3747 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3750 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3751 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3752 keywords because we need to localize them.
3753 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3755 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3756 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3757 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3760 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3763 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3764 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3765 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3768 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3769 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3770 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3772 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3774 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3775 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3776 bottom of your class file.
3779 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3782 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3784 - improved error message when loading modules so
3785 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3786 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3787 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3790 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3791 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3792 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3794 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3795 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3797 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3798 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3799 turn them on for you.
3800 - added tests for this
3801 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3802 in Moose::Meta::Class

3829 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3830 - This release works in combination with
3831 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3832 release because it uses the a new
3833 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3834 complete Role implementation. It has
3835 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3836 the the previous CPAN version. This
3837 release also lacks good updated docs,
3838 the official release will have updated docs.
3841 - refactored the keyword exports
3842 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3843 accepts more than one Role at a time

3854 string enumerations which can be used as
3856 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3859 - more careful checking of params to new()
3862 - much work done on the role composition
3863 - many new tests for conflict detection
3864 and composition edge cases
3865 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3866 looking at the tests
3868 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3869 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3870 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3872 * Moose::Meta::Class

3875 - some small additions to support Roles
3877 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

3880 - some small changes to support the new
3882 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3883 with the 'handles' option
3884 - added several tests for this
3885 - no docs for this yet

3889 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3890 thanks to chansen for this commit
3891 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3892 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3893 on a per-attribute basis
3894 - added tests for this
3895 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3896 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3897 experimental feature and probably not finished
