1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The super() subroutine now carps if you pass it arguments. These arguments
9 are always ignored, but we used to ignore them silently. RT #77383.
13 * Fix false positive when checking for circular references for modules that
14 use the "also" parameter with Moose::Exporter. Reported by Jon
15 Swartz. Fixed by Matthew Wickline. RT #63818.
17 * Ensure that the Moose::Exporter-generated init_meta returns the same value
18 that it did previously. This isn't really a bug, since the return value has
19 never been tested or documented, but since the generated init_meta is
20 nothing more than a compatibility shim at this point, there's no reason to
21 not make it as compatible as possible. Reported by Moritz Onken. (doy)
23 2.0601 Tue, May 01, 2012
27 * Fix init_meta order when multiple also packages are specified (this matters
28 when one of them is being used to actually initalize the metaclass,
29 typically with also => 'Moose'). Reported by Randy Stauner. (doy)
31 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
35 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
37 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
41 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
42 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
43 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
46 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
48 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
52 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
54 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
58 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
59 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
63 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
64 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
65 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
66 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
67 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
72 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
73 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
74 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
75 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
77 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
78 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
79 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
81 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
82 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
83 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
84 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
86 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
87 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
88 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
89 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
91 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
92 package which was deleted. (doy)
94 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
98 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
100 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
104 * Minor documentation fixes.
106 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
107 Nicholas Clark. (doy)
109 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
113 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
114 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
116 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
120 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
122 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
126 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
128 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
131 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
135 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
137 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
138 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
142 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
143 more values were required. (rjbs)
145 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
149 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
150 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
154 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
155 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
156 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
157 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
159 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
160 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
161 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
163 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
164 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
167 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
168 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
169 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
170 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
174 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
175 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
176 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
177 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
180 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
184 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
185 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
186 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
188 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
189 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
190 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
192 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
193 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
194 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
196 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
197 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
200 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
201 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
202 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
204 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
205 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
208 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
209 the associated stash. (doy)
213 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
214 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
215 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
216 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
218 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
222 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
223 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
224 the attribute's reference.
228 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
229 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
234 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
235 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
236 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
239 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
240 the Object constraint).
242 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
246 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
247 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
252 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
254 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
258 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
261 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
263 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
267 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
269 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
273 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
276 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
277 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
278 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
280 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
283 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
287 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
289 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
293 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
295 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
299 * Include changes from 2.0010.
301 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
305 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
306 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
310 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
311 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
312 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
317 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
319 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
323 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
324 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
326 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
330 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
332 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
336 * Various packaging issues.
338 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
342 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
343 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
348 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
349 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
350 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
354 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
355 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
356 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
358 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
362 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
363 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
365 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
369 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
370 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
372 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
375 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
376 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
380 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
381 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
383 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
387 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
388 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
392 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
394 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
398 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
400 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
404 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
405 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
407 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
411 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
413 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
417 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
419 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
420 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
422 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
426 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
427 skips every other role. (rjbs)
429 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
430 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
431 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
432 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
433 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
435 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
439 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
440 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
441 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
444 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
449 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
451 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
452 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
454 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
458 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
459 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
460 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
464 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
465 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
467 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
468 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
470 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
471 environments. (doy, mateu)
473 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
477 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
478 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
479 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
480 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
484 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
485 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
487 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
491 * Update conflicts list.
494 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
498 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
499 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
500 details. (Dave Rolsky)
502 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
503 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
504 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
505 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
506 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
510 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
511 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
512 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
513 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
514 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
517 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
521 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
522 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
524 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
527 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
531 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
532 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
533 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
534 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
536 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
537 immutable classes). (mo)
539 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
540 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
541 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
543 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
547 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
549 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
551 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
555 * Fix some indexing issues.
557 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
559 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
563 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
564 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
565 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
566 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
567 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
569 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
570 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
575 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
576 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
577 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
578 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
580 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
581 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
582 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
586 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
587 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
590 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
594 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
595 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
599 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
603 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
604 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
605 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
606 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
609 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
613 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
616 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
620 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
621 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
622 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
625 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
629 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
630 policy. (Chris Prather)
632 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
633 on this new support policy. (doy)
637 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
638 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
639 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
641 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
642 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
644 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
648 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
649 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
650 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
651 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
654 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
658 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
659 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
662 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
666 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
667 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
669 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
670 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
674 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
675 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
676 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
677 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
678 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
679 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
681 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
682 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
684 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
685 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
686 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
687 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
689 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
690 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
692 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
697 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
698 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
700 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
704 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
705 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
706 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
708 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
712 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
713 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
714 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
716 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
717 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
720 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
721 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
724 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
725 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
726 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
728 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
729 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
734 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
735 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
736 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
737 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
739 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
740 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
742 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
743 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
745 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
746 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
747 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
748 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
750 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
751 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
752 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
755 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
756 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
757 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
758 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
760 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
761 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
764 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
765 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
766 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
768 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
772 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
773 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
774 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
776 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
777 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
778 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
781 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
782 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
783 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
785 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
786 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
787 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
789 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
790 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
794 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
795 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
796 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
798 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
799 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
800 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
801 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
803 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
807 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
808 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
809 value is a reference.
811 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
812 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
814 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
818 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
819 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
820 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
822 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
826 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
827 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
831 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
832 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
833 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
835 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
836 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
837 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
839 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
843 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
845 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
849 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
851 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
852 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
857 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
858 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
860 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
861 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
862 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
863 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
864 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
866 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
867 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
868 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
869 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
871 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
875 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
876 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
881 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
883 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
885 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
890 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
892 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
896 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
897 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
898 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
900 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
901 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
902 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
903 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
905 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
906 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
907 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
908 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
909 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
912 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
917 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
918 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
919 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
920 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
921 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
924 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
928 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
931 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
932 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
936 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
937 function (not just method). (doy)
941 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
942 and aren't easily installable/testable.
944 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
948 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
949 to be overridden more easily (doy).
951 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
955 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
956 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
958 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
962 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
963 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
964 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
966 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
970 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
971 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
972 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
974 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
975 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
979 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
980 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
982 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
983 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
987 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
988 is applied to a class (t0m).
990 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
991 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
993 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
996 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
997 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
999 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
1000 be much more robust. (doy)
1002 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
1004 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
1007 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
1011 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
1012 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
1014 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
1018 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
1019 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
1021 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
1024 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1025 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1026 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1028 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1029 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1030 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1033 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1035 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1039 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1040 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1044 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1046 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1050 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1051 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1055 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1056 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1060 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1062 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1066 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1067 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1071 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1072 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1076 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1077 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1079 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1083 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1084 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1085 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1088 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1092 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1093 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1094 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1095 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1097 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1101 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1102 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1103 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1107 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1108 (Michael G. Schwern)
1110 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1114 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1115 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1116 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1120 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1121 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1123 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1124 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1125 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1126 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1128 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1132 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1136 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1137 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1139 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1140 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1141 - Moose::Util::does_role
1142 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1143 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1144 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1146 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1150 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1151 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1152 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1155 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1159 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1160 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1163 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1167 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1168 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1171 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1175 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1177 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1178 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1180 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1181 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1182 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1184 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1185 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1186 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1189 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1190 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1192 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1193 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1194 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1196 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1198 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1199 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1201 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1203 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1206 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1207 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1209 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1210 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1212 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1213 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1214 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1215 dependencies installed.
1217 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1218 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1221 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1223 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1227 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1229 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1230 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1231 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1233 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1234 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1235 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1237 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1238 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1241 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1242 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1243 others. (nothingmuch)
1245 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1246 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1247 remove_accessors. (doy)
1249 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1250 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1251 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1253 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1254 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1256 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1257 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1258 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1259 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1261 * Moose::Meta::Class
1262 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1263 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1265 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1266 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1268 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1270 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1271 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1274 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1275 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1276 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1277 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1278 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1280 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1282 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1283 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1284 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1285 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1286 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1289 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1290 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1291 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1292 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1293 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1295 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1296 which were not receiving the value of
1297 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1298 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1299 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1300 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1304 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1305 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1306 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1307 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1308 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1311 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1312 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1313 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1314 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1316 * Moose::Meta::Class
1317 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1318 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1319 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1322 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1323 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1324 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1327 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1328 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1331 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1332 class if you pass it options for
1333 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1334 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1335 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1336 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1337 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1338 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1339 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1340 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1341 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1343 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1344 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1345 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1346 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1347 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1350 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1351 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1352 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1353 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1355 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1356 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1357 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1358 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1359 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1360 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1363 * Moose::Error::Croak
1364 * Moose::Error::Confess
1365 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1366 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1369 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1372 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1373 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1374 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1376 * Moose::Meta::Class
1377 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1380 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1381 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1382 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1384 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1385 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1386 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1387 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1388 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1390 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1391 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1394 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1396 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1397 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1400 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1401 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1403 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1404 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1405 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1406 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1408 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1409 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1410 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1411 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1412 using it for new code!
1414 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1415 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1416 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1417 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1419 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1420 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1421 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1422 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1423 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1424 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1425 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1426 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1429 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1432 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1433 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1436 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1437 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1439 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1440 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1441 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1443 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1444 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1445 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1446 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1448 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1449 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1450 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1452 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1453 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1454 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1457 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1458 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1459 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1460 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1461 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1462 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1464 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1466 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1469 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1470 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1471 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1473 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1474 associated_methods. (hdp)
1475 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1476 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1477 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1478 misspelled) arguments
1480 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1481 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1482 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1483 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1485 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1486 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1487 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1489 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1492 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1493 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1494 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1497 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1498 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1500 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1501 * Moose::Meta::Class
1502 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1503 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1505 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1506 * Moose::Manual::Types
1507 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1508 string parsing rathole (mst)
1510 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1511 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1512 using plain objects instead
1514 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1515 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1516 that's what we need.
1518 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1519 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1520 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1521 three times today (perigrin)
1522 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1523 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1525 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1526 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1527 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1528 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1531 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1532 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1533 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1534 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1535 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1536 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1539 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1540 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1541 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1542 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1545 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1547 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1550 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1552 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1555 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1556 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1557 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1561 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1562 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1565 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1566 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1568 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1569 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1570 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1572 * Moose::Unsweetened
1573 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1575 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1576 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1579 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1583 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1584 methods during global destruction (doy)
1586 * Moose::Meta::Class
1587 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1588 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1589 consumption (Sartak)
1591 * Moose::Meta::Class
1592 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1593 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1596 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1597 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1600 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1601 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1603 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1605 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1609 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1610 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1611 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1614 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1615 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1616 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1619 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1621 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1622 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1623 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1626 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1627 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1628 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1629 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1631 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1632 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1633 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1636 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1639 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1640 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1641 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1645 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1646 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1648 * Moose::Meta::Class
1649 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1651 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1653 * Moose::Meta::Class
1654 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1655 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1658 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1659 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1662 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1663 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1666 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1669 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1671 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1672 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1675 * Moose::Meta::Class
1676 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1678 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1679 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1682 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1683 * More deprecations and renamings
1684 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1685 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1686 when an object is constructed)
1689 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1690 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1691 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1693 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1694 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1695 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1696 feature, and it works again.
1699 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1701 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1703 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1704 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1705 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1707 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1708 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1709 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1710 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1711 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1713 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1714 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1715 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1716 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1717 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1720 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1721 metaclass object. (hdp)
1723 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1724 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1725 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1726 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1727 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1728 point out this fact. (hdp)
1730 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1731 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1733 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1734 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1736 * Moose::Meta::Class
1737 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1738 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1739 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1740 called during instance construction were passed the
1741 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1742 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1744 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1745 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1748 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1749 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1750 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1753 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1754 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1755 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1756 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1757 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1759 - Moose::Meta::Class
1760 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1762 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1763 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1764 when an object is constructed)
1765 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1767 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1768 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1769 when an object is constructed)
1770 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1771 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1772 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1775 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1777 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1778 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1780 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1782 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1783 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1784 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1786 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1787 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1788 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1790 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1792 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1793 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1795 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1796 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1799 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1800 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1803 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1804 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1805 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1807 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1808 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1812 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1813 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1814 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1816 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1817 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1820 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1821 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1822 with recommended workarounds.
1824 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1825 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1827 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1828 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1829 (yes, spelled like that).
1831 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1832 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1834 * Moose::Meta::Class
1835 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1836 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1838 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1840 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1841 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1842 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1843 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1844 instead. Reported by doy.
1846 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1848 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1849 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1851 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1852 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1853 message) is now deprecated.
1854 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1855 often got it wrong. For example:
1857 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1859 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1863 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1864 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1865 bite you in weird cases.
1867 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1868 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1869 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1870 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1872 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1873 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1877 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1880 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1881 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1884 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1885 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1887 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1888 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1891 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1893 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1894 - added tests for this (stevan)
1896 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1897 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1898 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1899 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1903 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1904 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1905 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1906 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1908 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1909 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1910 - added tests for this (rafl)
1912 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1913 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1914 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1915 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1919 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1920 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1924 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1925 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1927 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1929 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1930 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1932 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1933 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1934 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1935 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1936 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1938 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1939 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1940 error message did not specify the attribute name
1943 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1945 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1947 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1948 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1949 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1951 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1952 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1955 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1957 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1958 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1959 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1960 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1962 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1964 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1965 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1966 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1967 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1969 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1970 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1971 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1973 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1974 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1975 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1976 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1977 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1979 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1980 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1981 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1982 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1983 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1985 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1986 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1987 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1988 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1989 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1990 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1992 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1993 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1994 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1995 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1996 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1997 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1999 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2000 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
2002 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
2003 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
2004 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
2005 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
2007 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2008 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
2011 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
2015 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
2016 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
2018 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
2019 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
2020 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
2021 guts. (nothingmuch).
2023 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
2024 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2025 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2027 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2028 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2029 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2030 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2032 * Moose::Meta::Class
2033 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2036 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2037 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2039 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2040 * Moose::Unsweetened
2041 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2044 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2045 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2046 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2047 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2048 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2049 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2051 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2052 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2053 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2054 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2055 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2056 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2057 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2058 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2059 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2060 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2062 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2064 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2065 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2067 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2068 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2069 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2070 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2072 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2073 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2074 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2075 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2076 same methods for a single role did not work
2077 right (worked just fine with multiple
2079 - added test for this (stevan)
2081 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2082 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2083 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2086 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2087 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2088 - added test for this (t0m)
2091 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2092 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2093 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2095 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2096 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2097 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2098 - added test for this (t0m)
2100 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2101 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2102 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2103 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2104 - added test for this (perigrin)
2107 - create method for constructing a role
2108 dynamically (Sartak)
2109 - added test for this (Sartak)
2110 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2111 - added test for this (Sartak)
2114 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2116 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2117 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2118 methods is useful (Sartak)
2120 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2121 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2122 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2125 * Moose::Meta::Class
2126 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2127 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2128 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2129 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2130 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2131 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2134 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2135 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2137 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2138 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2139 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2140 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2141 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2143 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2145 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2146 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2147 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2150 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2151 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2152 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2153 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2154 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2155 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2158 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2159 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2160 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2161 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2162 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2163 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2164 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2165 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2166 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2167 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2168 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2170 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2171 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2175 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2176 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2177 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2178 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2180 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2182 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2183 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2184 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2186 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2187 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2189 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2190 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2191 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2192 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2195 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2196 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2198 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2200 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2201 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2203 * Moose::Meta::Class
2204 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2205 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2206 a required attribute
2208 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2209 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2210 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2211 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2213 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2214 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2216 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2217 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2218 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2219 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2220 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2221 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2222 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2223 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2225 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2226 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2227 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2229 * Roles and role application
2230 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2231 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2232 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2233 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2234 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2236 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2237 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2240 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2241 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2242 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2243 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2244 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2247 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2248 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2249 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2250 changes in the Moose internals.
2252 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2253 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2254 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2257 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2258 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2259 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2260 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2262 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2263 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2264 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2265 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2267 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2268 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2269 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2270 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2271 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2272 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2273 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2274 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2275 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2276 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2277 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2278 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2279 constraint implementations.
2281 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2285 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2286 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2287 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2288 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2289 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2290 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2291 - added tests for this (rafl)
2293 * Moose::Meta::Class
2294 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2295 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2296 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2297 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2298 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2299 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2300 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2301 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2304 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2305 - added tests for this (thepler)
2307 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2308 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2309 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2310 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2313 * Moose::Meta::Class
2314 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2315 * Moose::Meta::Method
2318 * Moose::Error::Default
2319 * Moose::Error::Croak
2320 * Moose::Error::Confess
2321 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2322 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2323 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2324 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2325 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2326 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2328 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2330 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2331 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2333 * Moose::Unsweetened
2334 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2335 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2336 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2338 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2339 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2340 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2341 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2342 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2345 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2346 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2348 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2349 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2350 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2351 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2354 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2356 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2357 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2359 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2362 - Various bug fixes.
2364 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2365 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2367 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2369 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2370 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2371 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2372 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2373 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2374 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2376 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2377 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2378 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2380 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2381 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2382 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2385 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2386 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2387 dependency to 0.64_07.
2389 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2390 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2391 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2393 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2394 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2397 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2398 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2399 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2400 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2401 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2402 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2404 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2405 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2407 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2409 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2410 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2414 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2415 method when that method was provided by another role being
2416 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2417 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2419 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2421 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2422 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2424 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2425 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2426 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2427 - added test for this (t0m)
2429 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2430 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2431 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2433 - added test for this (t0m)
2436 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2437 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2438 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2441 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2442 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2444 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2446 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2447 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2449 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2450 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2451 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2453 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2454 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2457 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2458 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2459 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2460 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2464 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2465 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2466 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2469 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2470 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2471 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2472 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2475 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2479 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2480 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2481 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2483 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2484 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2485 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2486 created so that the process can be more easily
2487 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2489 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2490 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2491 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2492 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2494 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2495 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2498 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2499 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2501 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2502 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2503 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2505 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2506 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2507 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2509 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2510 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2512 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2513 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2516 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2517 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2521 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2522 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2524 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2525 ... this is not my day today ...
2527 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2528 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2529 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2530 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2531 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2534 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2535 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2536 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2537 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2538 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2541 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2543 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2544 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2545 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2546 this is not ever something you want to do
2547 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2548 - added tests for this (stevan)
2551 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2553 - added test for this
2555 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2556 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2557 - added tests for this (wreis)
2559 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2560 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2561 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2562 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2564 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2565 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2566 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2569 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2571 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2573 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2576 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2577 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2578 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2579 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2580 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2581 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2582 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2583 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2584 - added tests for this
2586 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2587 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2588 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2589 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2591 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2593 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2594 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2595 - added tests for this (sartak)
2596 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2597 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2600 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2602 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2603 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2606 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2607 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2608 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2610 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2612 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2613 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules
2616 0.49 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2617 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2618 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.59 !!
2620 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2621 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2622 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2624 - added docs for this (TODO).
2625 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2626 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2627 Moose attributes which is "Moose"
2628 - fix builder and default both being used
2633 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2635 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2636 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2637 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2641 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2645 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2646 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2647 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2649 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2650 - move the ClassName type check code to
2651 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2653 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2654 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2656 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2657 (early morning release engineering)--
2659 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2660 which was causing the indexer to choke
2662 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2663 (late night release engineering)--
2665 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2666 changes in this release
2668 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2669 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2670 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2672 * Moose::Meta::Class
2673 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2674 since it is called so often by &meta
2676 * Moose::Meta::Class
2678 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2679 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2682 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2683 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2684 method for immutablization to check if the
2685 destructor object even needs to be created
2688 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2689 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2690 - added more descriptive error message to help
2691 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2692 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2694 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2696 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2697 XS based functionality is now optional
2698 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2699 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2700 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2702 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2703 to take care of this, mostly we added
2704 support for the package_name and name
2705 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2706 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2707 support regexp matching of names
2708 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2709 - tests added for this
2710 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2711 is currently not supported in roles,
2712 but, ... patches welcome
2713 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2714 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2715 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2718 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2719 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2720 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2721 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2722 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2723 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2724 - added test for this
2726 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2727 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2728 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2731 * Moose::Meta::Class
2732 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2736 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2738 - added tests for this
2739 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2740 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2742 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2743 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2744 themselves parameterizable types
2746 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2747 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2748 called by the inlined immutable
2750 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2752 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2753 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2754 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2755 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2757 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2758 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2762 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2763 causing occasional cpantester failures
2764 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2765 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2767 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2769 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2770 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2773 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2774 ->body when looping through the
2775 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2777 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2778 eating the $@ values, and so not
2779 working correctly, it still kind of
2780 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2781 - added tests for this
2783 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2784 - added new recipe for immutable
2785 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2787 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2921 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2923 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

2967 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2968 it ever did this originally, this means we now

3262 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3263 - added tests for this

3273 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3276 * Parameterized Types
3277 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3278 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3279 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3280 They can also be nested:
3281 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3282 And work with the type unions as well:
3283 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3285 * Better Framework Extendability
3286 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3287 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3288 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3289 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3292 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3293 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3294 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3295 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3463 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3464 - coerce and lazy now work together correctly, thanks to
3465 merlyn for finding this bug
3466 - tests added for this
3467 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3470 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3471 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3472 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3473 - added tests for this
3475 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3477 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3490 where not handled correctly in roles
3491 - added tests for this
3493 * Moose::Meta::Class
3494 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3495 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3496 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3498 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3499 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3501 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3502 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3503 so this release is just to fix that.
3506 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3507 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3508 (thanks to konobi for this)
3509 - added tests and docs
3511 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007

3514 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3515 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3516 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3517 - added tests for this

3519 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3520 functions to facilitate introspection.
3522 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3523 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3524 to build the list of delegated methods
3525 correctly (and not override important
3526 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3528 - added tests and docs for this
3529 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3530 so that you can actually document your
3531 attributes and inspect them through the
3533 - added tests and docs for this
3535 * Moose::Meta::Class
3536 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3537 it will first look in for the class in the
3538 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3539 then default to just loading $name.
3540 - added tests and docs for this
3542 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3543 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3544 - added test for this
3547 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3548 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3549 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3550 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3552 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3553 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3556 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3558 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3559 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3560 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3563 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3564 !! for this developer release to work !!
3566 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3567 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3568 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3569 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3570 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3571 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3572 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3573 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3574 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3575 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3576 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3578 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3579 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3580 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3581 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3584 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3586 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3587 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3588 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3590 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3592 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3593 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3596 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3597 called unless they actually need to be.
3598 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3599 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3600 DEMOLISH method present.
3602 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3603 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3604 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3605 type constraint, which allows for a
3606 hand optimized version of the type
3607 constraint to be used when possible.
3608 - Any internally created type constraints
3609 now provide an optimized version as well.
3611 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3613 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3614 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3615 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3617 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3618 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3619 your class namespace of these exported
3622 * Moose::Meta::Class
3623 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3624 comes up during global destruction
3626 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3630 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3633 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3634 - changed how we do type checks so that
3635 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3638 - moved accessor generation methods to
3639 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3640 conform to the API changes from
3643 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3644 - changed how constraints are compiled
3645 so that we do less recursion and more
3646 iteration. This makes the type check
3648 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3651 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3652 - created this from methods formerly found in
3653 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3655 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3656 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3658 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3659 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3661 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3662 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3664 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3667 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3668 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3669 - added tests for this
3670 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3671 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3672 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3673 - removed tests for this
3675 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3677 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3678 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3679 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3682 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3683 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3684 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3686 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3687 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3688 comments for more info.
3691 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3692 asked questions and common problems
3694 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3695 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3696 - added tests for this
3698 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3699 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3700 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3701 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3703 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3704 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3707 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3708 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3709 is much appreciated :)
3710 - added tests for this
3712 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3713 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3714 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3717 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3718 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3720 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3722 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3723 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3727 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3728 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3729 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3731 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3733 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3736 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3737 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3738 keywords because we need to localize them.
3739 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3741 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3742 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3743 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3746 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3749 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3750 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3751 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3754 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3755 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3756 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3758 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3760 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3761 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3762 bottom of your class file.
3765 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3768 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3770 - improved error message when loading modules so
3771 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3772 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3773 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3776 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3777 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3778 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3780 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3781 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3783 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3784 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3785 turn them on for you.
3786 - added tests for this
3787 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3788 in Moose::Meta::Class

3815 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3816 - This release works in combination with
3817 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3818 release because it uses the a new
3819 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3820 complete Role implementation. It has
3821 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3822 the the previous CPAN version. This
3823 release also lacks good updated docs,
3824 the official release will have updated docs.
3827 - refactored the keyword exports
3828 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3829 accepts more than one Role at a time

3835 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3836 accepts more than one Role at a time
3838 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3840 string enumerations which can be used as
3842 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3845 - more careful checking of params to new()
3848 - much work done on the role composition
3849 - many new tests for conflict detection
3850 and composition edge cases
3851 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3852 looking at the tests
3854 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3855 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3856 the new Class::MOP instance protocol

3866 - some small changes to support the new
3868 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3869 with the 'handles' option

3875 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3876 thanks to chansen for this commit
3877 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3878 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3879 on a per-attribute basis
3880 - added tests for this
3881 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3882 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3883 experimental feature and probably not finished
