1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
9 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
11 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
15 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
16 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
20 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
21 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
22 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
27 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
29 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
33 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
34 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
36 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
40 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
42 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
46 * Various packaging issues.
48 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
52 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
53 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
58 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
59 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
60 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
64 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
65 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
66 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
68 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
72 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
73 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
75 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
78 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
79 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
83 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
84 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
86 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
90 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
91 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
95 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
97 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
101 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
103 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
107 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
108 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
110 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
114 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
116 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
120 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
122 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
123 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
125 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
129 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
130 skips every other role. (rjbs)
132 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
133 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
134 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
135 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
136 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
138 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
142 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
143 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
144 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
147 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
152 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
154 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
155 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
157 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
161 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
162 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
163 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
167 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
168 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
170 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
171 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
173 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
174 environments. (doy, mateu)
176 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
180 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
181 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
182 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
183 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
187 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
188 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
190 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
194 * Update conflicts list.
197 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
201 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
202 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
203 details. (Dave Rolsky)
205 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
206 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
207 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
208 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
209 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
213 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
214 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
215 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
216 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
217 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
220 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
224 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
225 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
227 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
230 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
234 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
235 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
236 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
237 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
239 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
240 immutable classes). (mo)
242 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
243 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
244 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
246 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
250 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
252 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
254 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
258 * Fix some indexing issues.
260 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
262 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
266 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
267 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
268 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
269 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
270 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
272 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
273 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
278 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
279 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
280 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
281 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
283 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
284 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
285 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
289 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
290 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
293 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
297 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
298 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
302 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
306 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
307 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
308 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
309 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
312 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
316 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
319 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
323 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
324 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
325 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
328 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
332 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
333 policy. (Chris Prather)
335 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
336 on this new support policy. (doy)
340 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
341 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
342 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
344 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
345 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
347 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
351 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
352 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
353 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
354 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
357 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
361 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
362 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
365 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
369 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
370 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
372 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
373 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
377 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
378 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
379 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
380 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
381 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
382 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
384 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
385 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
387 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
388 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
389 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
390 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
392 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
393 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
395 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
400 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
401 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
403 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
407 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
408 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
409 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
411 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
415 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
416 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
417 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
419 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
420 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
423 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
424 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
427 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
428 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
429 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
431 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
432 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
437 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
438 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
439 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
440 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
442 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
443 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
445 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
446 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
448 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
449 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
450 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
451 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
453 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
454 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
455 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
458 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
459 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
460 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
461 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
463 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
464 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
467 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
468 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
469 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
471 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
475 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
476 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
477 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
479 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
480 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
481 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
484 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
485 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
486 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
488 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
489 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
490 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
492 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
493 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
497 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
498 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
499 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
501 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
502 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
503 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
504 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
506 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
510 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
511 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
512 value is a reference.
514 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
515 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
517 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
521 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
522 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
523 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
525 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
529 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
530 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
534 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
535 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
536 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
538 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
539 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
540 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
542 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
546 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
548 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
552 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
554 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
555 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
560 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
561 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
563 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
564 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
565 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
566 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
567 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
569 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
570 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
571 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
572 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
574 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
578 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
579 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
584 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
586 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
588 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
593 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
595 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
599 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
600 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
601 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
603 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
604 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
605 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
606 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
608 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
609 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
610 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
611 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
612 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
615 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
620 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
621 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
622 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
623 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
624 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
627 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
631 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
634 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
635 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
639 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
640 function (not just method). (doy)
644 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
645 and aren't easily installable/testable.
647 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
651 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
652 to be overridden more easily (doy).
654 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
658 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
659 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
661 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
665 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
666 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
667 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
669 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
673 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
674 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
675 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
677 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
678 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
682 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
683 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
685 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
686 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
690 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
691 is applied to a class (t0m).
693 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
694 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
696 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
699 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
700 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
702 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
703 be much more robust. (doy)
705 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
707 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
710 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
714 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
715 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
717 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
721 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
722 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
724 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
727 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
728 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
729 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
731 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
732 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
733 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
736 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
738 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
742 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
743 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
747 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
749 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
754 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
758 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
759 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
763 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
765 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
769 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
770 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
774 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
775 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
779 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
780 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
782 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
786 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
787 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
788 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
791 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
795 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
796 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
797 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
798 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
800 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
804 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
805 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
806 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
810 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
813 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
817 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
818 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
819 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
823 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
824 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
826 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
827 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
828 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
829 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
831 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
835 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
839 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
840 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
842 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
843 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
844 - Moose::Util::does_role
845 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
846 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
847 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
849 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
853 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
854 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
855 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
858 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
862 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
863 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
866 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
870 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
871 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
874 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
878 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
880 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
881 class. (Dave Rolsky).
883 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
884 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
885 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
887 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
888 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
889 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
892 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
893 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
895 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
896 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
897 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
899 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
901 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
902 substr et al, again. (sorear)
904 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
906 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
909 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
910 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
912 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
913 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
915 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
916 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
917 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
918 dependencies installed.
920 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
921 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
924 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
926 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
930 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
932 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
933 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
934 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
936 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
937 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
938 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
940 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
941 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
944 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
945 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
946 others. (nothingmuch)
948 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
949 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
950 remove_accessors. (doy)
952 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
953 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
954 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
957 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
959 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
960 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
961 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
962 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
965 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
966 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
968 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
969 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
971 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
973 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
974 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
977 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
978 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
979 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
980 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
981 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
983 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
984 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
985 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
986 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
987 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
988 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
989 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
992 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
993 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
994 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
995 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
996 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
998 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
999 which were not receiving the value of
1000 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1001 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1002 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1003 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1007 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1008 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1009 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1010 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1011 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1014 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1015 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1016 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1017 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1019 * Moose::Meta::Class
1020 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1021 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1022 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1025 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1026 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1027 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1030 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1031 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1034 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1035 class if you pass it options for
1036 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1037 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1038 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1039 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1040 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1041 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1042 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1043 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1044 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1046 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1047 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1048 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1049 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1050 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1053 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1054 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1055 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1056 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1058 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1059 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1060 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1061 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1062 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1063 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1066 * Moose::Error::Croak
1067 * Moose::Error::Confess
1068 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1069 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1072 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1075 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1076 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1077 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1079 * Moose::Meta::Class
1080 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1083 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1084 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1085 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1087 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1088 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1089 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1090 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1091 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1093 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1094 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1097 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1099 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1100 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1103 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1104 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1106 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1107 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1108 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1109 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1111 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1112 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1113 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1114 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1115 using it for new code!
1117 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1118 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1119 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1120 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1122 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1123 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1124 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1125 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1126 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1127 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1128 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1129 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1132 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1135 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1136 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1139 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1140 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1142 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1143 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1144 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1146 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1147 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1148 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1149 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1151 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1152 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1153 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1155 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1156 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1157 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1160 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1161 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1162 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1163 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1164 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1165 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1167 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1169 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1172 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1173 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1174 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1176 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1177 associated_methods. (hdp)
1178 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1179 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1180 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1181 misspelled) arguments
1183 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1184 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1185 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1186 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1189 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1190 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1192 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1195 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1196 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1197 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1200 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1201 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1203 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1204 * Moose::Meta::Class
1205 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1206 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1208 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1209 * Moose::Manual::Types
1210 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1211 string parsing rathole (mst)
1213 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1214 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1215 using plain objects instead
1217 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1218 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1219 that's what we need.
1221 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1222 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1223 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1224 three times today (perigrin)
1225 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1226 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1229 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1230 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1231 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1234 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1235 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1236 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1237 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1238 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1239 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1242 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1243 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1244 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1245 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1248 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1250 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1253 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1255 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1258 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1259 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1260 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1264 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1265 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1268 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1269 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1271 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1272 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1273 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1275 * Moose::Unsweetened
1276 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1278 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1279 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1282 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1286 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1287 methods during global destruction (doy)
1289 * Moose::Meta::Class
1290 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1291 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1292 consumption (Sartak)
1294 * Moose::Meta::Class
1295 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1296 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1299 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1300 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1303 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1304 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1306 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1308 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1312 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1313 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1314 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1317 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1318 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1319 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1322 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1324 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1325 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1326 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1329 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1330 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1331 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1332 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1334 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1335 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1336 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1339 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1342 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1343 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1344 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1348 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1349 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1351 * Moose::Meta::Class
1352 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1354 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1356 * Moose::Meta::Class
1357 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1358 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1361 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1362 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1365 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1366 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1369 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1372 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1374 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1375 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1378 * Moose::Meta::Class
1379 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1381 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1382 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1385 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1386 * More deprecations and renamings
1387 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1388 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1389 when an object is constructed)
1392 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1393 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1394 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1396 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1397 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1398 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1399 feature, and it works again.
1402 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1404 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1406 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1407 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1408 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1410 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1411 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1412 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1413 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1414 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1416 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1417 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1418 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1419 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1420 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1423 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1424 metaclass object. (hdp)
1426 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1427 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1428 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1429 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1430 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1431 point out this fact. (hdp)
1433 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1434 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1436 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1437 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1439 * Moose::Meta::Class
1440 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1441 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1442 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1443 called during instance construction were passed the
1444 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1445 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1447 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1448 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1451 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1452 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1453 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1456 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1457 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1458 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1459 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1460 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1462 - Moose::Meta::Class
1463 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1465 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1466 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1467 when an object is constructed)
1468 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1470 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1471 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1472 when an object is constructed)
1473 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1474 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1475 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1478 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1480 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1481 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1483 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1485 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1486 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1487 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1490 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1491 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1493 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1495 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1496 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1498 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1499 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1502 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1503 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1506 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1507 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1508 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1510 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1511 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1515 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1516 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1517 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1519 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1520 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1523 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1524 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1525 with recommended workarounds.
1527 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1528 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1530 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1531 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1532 (yes, spelled like that).
1534 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1535 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1537 * Moose::Meta::Class
1538 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1539 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1541 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1543 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1544 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1545 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1546 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1547 instead. Reported by doy.
1549 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1551 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1552 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1554 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1555 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1556 message) is now deprecated.
1557 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1558 often got it wrong. For example:
1560 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1562 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1566 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1567 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1568 bite you in weird cases.
1570 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1571 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1572 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1573 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1575 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1576 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1580 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1583 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1584 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1587 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1588 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1590 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1591 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1594 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1595 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1596 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1597 - added tests for this (stevan)
1599 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1600 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1601 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1602 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1606 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1607 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1608 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1609 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1611 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1612 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1613 - added tests for this (rafl)
1615 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1616 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1617 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1618 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1622 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1623 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1626 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1627 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1628 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1630 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1632 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1633 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1635 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1636 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1637 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1638 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1639 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1641 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1642 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1643 error message did not specify the attribute name
1646 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1648 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1650 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1651 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1652 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1654 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1655 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1658 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1660 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1661 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1662 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1663 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1665 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1667 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1668 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1669 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1670 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1672 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1673 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1674 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1676 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1677 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1678 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1679 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1680 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1682 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1683 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1684 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1685 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1686 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1689 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1690 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1691 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1692 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1693 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1695 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1696 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1697 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1698 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1699 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1700 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1702 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1703 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1705 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1706 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1707 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1708 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1710 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1711 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1714 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1718 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1719 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1721 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1722 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1723 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1724 guts. (nothingmuch).
1726 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1727 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1728 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1730 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1731 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1732 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1733 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1735 * Moose::Meta::Class
1736 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1739 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1740 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1742 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1743 * Moose::Unsweetened
1744 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1747 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1748 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1749 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1750 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1751 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1752 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1754 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1755 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1756 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1757 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1758 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1759 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1760 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1761 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1762 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1763 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1765 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1767 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1768 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1770 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1771 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1772 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1773 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1775 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1776 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1777 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1778 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1779 same methods for a single role did not work
1780 right (worked just fine with multiple
1782 - added test for this (stevan)
1784 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1785 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1786 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1789 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1790 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1791 - added test for this (t0m)
1794 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1795 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1796 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1798 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1799 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1800 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1801 - added test for this (t0m)
1803 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1804 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1805 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1806 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1807 - added test for this (perigrin)
1810 - create method for constructing a role
1811 dynamically (Sartak)
1812 - added test for this (Sartak)
1813 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1814 - added test for this (Sartak)
1817 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1819 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1820 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1821 methods is useful (Sartak)
1823 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1825 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1828 * Moose::Meta::Class
1829 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1830 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1831 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1832 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1833 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1834 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1837 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1838 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1840 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1841 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1842 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1843 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1844 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1846 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1848 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1849 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1850 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1853 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1854 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1855 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1856 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1857 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1858 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1861 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1862 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1863 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1864 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1865 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1866 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1867 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1868 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1869 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1870 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1871 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1873 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1874 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1877 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1878 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1879 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1880 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1881 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1883 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1885 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1886 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1887 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1889 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1890 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1892 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1893 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1894 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1895 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1899 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1901 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1903 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1904 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1906 * Moose::Meta::Class
1907 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1908 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1909 a required attribute
1911 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1912 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1913 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1914 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1916 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1917 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1919 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1920 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1921 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1922 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1923 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1924 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1925 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1926 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1928 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1929 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1930 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1932 * Roles and role application
1933 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1934 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1935 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1936 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1937 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1939 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1940 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1943 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1944 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1945 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1946 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1947 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1950 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1951 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1952 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1953 changes in the Moose internals.
1955 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1956 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1957 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1960 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1961 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1962 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1963 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1965 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1966 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1967 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1968 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1971 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1972 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1973 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1974 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1975 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1976 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1977 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1978 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1979 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1980 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1981 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1982 constraint implementations.
1984 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1988 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1989 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1990 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1991 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1992 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1993 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1994 - added tests for this (rafl)
1996 * Moose::Meta::Class
1997 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1998 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1999 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2000 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2001 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2002 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2003 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2004 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2007 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2008 - added tests for this (thepler)
2010 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2011 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2012 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2013 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2016 * Moose::Meta::Class
2017 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2018 * Moose::Meta::Method
2021 * Moose::Error::Default
2022 * Moose::Error::Croak
2023 * Moose::Error::Confess
2024 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2025 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2026 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2027 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2028 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2029 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2031 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2033 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2034 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2036 * Moose::Unsweetened
2037 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2038 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2039 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2041 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2042 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2043 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2044 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2045 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2048 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2049 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2051 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2052 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2053 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2054 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2057 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2059 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2060 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2062 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2065 - Various bug fixes.
2067 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2068 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2070 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2072 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2073 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2074 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2103 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2104 coincidental exception. (t0m).

2228 ... this is not my day today ...
2230 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2231 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2232 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2233 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2234 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2237 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2238 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2239 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2241 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2244 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2246 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2247 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2279 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2280 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2281 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2282 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2283 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2284 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2285 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2286 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2287 - added tests for this
2289 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2290 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2766 you should now use Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
2767 and you shouldnt have been using a _ prefixed
2768 method in the first place ;)
2770 0.34 Mon. Jan. 21, 2008
2771 ~~~ more misc. doc. fixes ~~~
2772 ~~ updated copyright dates ~~
2774 Moose is now a postmodern object system :)
2775 - (see the POD for details)
2777 * <<Role System Refactoring>>
2778 - this release contains a major reworking and
2779 cleanup of the role system
2780 - 100% backwards compat.
2781 - Role application now restructured into seperate
2782 classes based on type of applicants
2783 - Role summation (combining of more than one role)
2784 is much cleaner and anon-classes are no longer
2785 used in this process
2786 - new Composite role metaclass
2787 - runtime application of roles to instances
2788 is now more efficient and re-uses generated
2789 classes when applicable
2791 * <<New Role composition features>>
2792 - methods can now be excluded from a given role
2794 - methods can now be aliased to another name (and
2795 still retain the original as well)
2797 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::OptimizedConstraints
2798 - added this module (see above)
2800 * Moose::Meta::Class
2801 - fixed the &_process_attribute method to be called
2802 by &add_attribute, so that the API is now correct
2804 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2805 - fixed bug when passing a list of values to
2806 an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored.
2807 Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)

2810 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2811 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2812 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2813 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2817 - type constraint handling
2818 - error handling/messages
2819 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2821 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2822 - added this module to support the refactor
2823 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2825 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2826 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2827 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2831 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2833 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2834 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2835 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2837 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line

2857 - added tests for this
2859 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2860 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2861 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2863 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2864 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

2869 a single type at different times instead of
2870 having to do it all in one place
2871 - added tests for this
2873 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2874 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2875 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2878 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2879 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2880 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2881 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2885 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2886 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2887 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2889 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2890 - added tests for this.
2891 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2892 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2893 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2894 - added tests for this
2895 - added docs for this
2897 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2898 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2899 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2900 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2901 instead it will just return undef.

2916 with work correctly.
2917 - added tests for this
2920 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2921 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2924 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2925 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2926 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2928 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007

2959 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2960 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2963 - fixed how required methods are handled
2964 when they encounter overriden or modified
2965 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2966 - added tests for this
2968 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2969 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2970 the | always creates a union and so is
2971 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2972 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2974 - added more tests for this
2976 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2979 * Parameterized Types
2980 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2981 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2982 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2983 They can also be nested:
2984 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2985 And work with the type unions as well:
2986 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2988 * Better Framework Extendability
2989 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2990 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2991 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2992 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2995 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2996 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2997 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2998 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3001 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3003 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

3063 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3064 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3066 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3157 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3158 prototypes for functions
3159 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3160 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3170 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3173 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3174 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3175 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3176 - added tests for this
3178 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3180 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3202 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3204 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3205 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3206 so this release is just to fix that.
3209 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3210 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3211 (thanks to konobi for this)

3217 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3218 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3219 thanks to phaylon for finding this

3222 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3223 functions to facilitate introspection.
3225 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3226 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3227 to build the list of delegated methods
3228 correctly (and not override important
3229 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3231 - added tests and docs for this
3232 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3233 so that you can actually document your
3234 attributes and inspect them through the
3236 - added tests and docs for this
3238 * Moose::Meta::Class
3239 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3240 it will first look in for the class in the
3241 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3242 then default to just loading $name.
3243 - added tests and docs for this
3245 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3246 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3247 - added test for this
3250 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3251 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3252 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3253 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3255 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3256 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3259 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3261 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3262 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3263 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3266 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3267 !! for this developer release to work !!
3269 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3270 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3271 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3272 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3273 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3274 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3275 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3276 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3277 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3278 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3279 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3281 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3282 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3283 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3284 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3287 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3289 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3290 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3291 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3293 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3295 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3296 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3299 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3300 called unless they actually need to be.
3301 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3302 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3303 DEMOLISH method present.
3305 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3306 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3307 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3308 type constraint, which allows for a
3309 hand optimized version of the type
3310 constraint to be used when possible.
3311 - Any internally created type constraints
3312 now provide an optimized version as well.
3314 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3316 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3317 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3318 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3320 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3321 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3322 your class namespace of these exported
3325 * Moose::Meta::Class
3326 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3327 comes up during global destruction
3329 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3333 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3336 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3337 - changed how we do type checks so that
3338 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3341 - moved accessor generation methods to
3342 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3343 conform to the API changes from
3346 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3347 - changed how constraints are compiled
3348 so that we do less recursion and more
3349 iteration. This makes the type check
3351 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3354 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3355 - created this from methods formerly found in
3356 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3358 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3359 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3361 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3362 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3364 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3365 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3367 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3369 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3370 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3371 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3372 - added tests for this
3373 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3374 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3375 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3376 - removed tests for this
3378 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3380 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3381 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3382 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3385 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3386 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3387 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3389 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3390 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3391 comments for more info.
3394 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3395 asked questions and common problems
3397 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3398 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3399 - added tests for this
3401 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3402 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3403 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3404 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3406 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3407 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3410 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3411 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3412 is much appreciated :)
3413 - added tests for this
3415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3416 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3417 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3420 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3421 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3423 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3425 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3426 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3430 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3431 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3432 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3434 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3436 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3439 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3440 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3441 keywords because we need to localize them.
3442 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3444 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3445 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3446 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3449 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3452 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3453 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3454 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3457 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3458 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3459 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3461 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3463 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3464 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3465 bottom of your class file.
3468 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3471 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3473 - improved error message when loading modules so
3474 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3475 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3476 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3479 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3480 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3481 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3484 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3486 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3487 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3488 turn them on for you.
3489 - added tests for this
3490 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3491 in Moose::Meta::Class
3494 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3495 automatically turned on for you.
3496 - added tests for this
3499 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3500 - added tests for this
3501 - added some more edge case tests

3517 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3518 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3519 - This release works in combination with
3520 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3521 release because it uses the a new
3522 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3523 complete Role implementation. It has
3524 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3525 the the previous CPAN version. This
3526 release also lacks good updated docs,
3527 the official release will have updated docs.
3530 - refactored the keyword exports
3531 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3532 accepts more than one Role at a time
3533 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3534 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3537 - refactored the keyword exports
3538 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3539 accepts more than one Role at a time
3541 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3542 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3543 string enumerations which can be used as
3545 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3548 - more careful checking of params to new()
3551 - much work done on the role composition
3552 - many new tests for conflict detection
3553 and composition edge cases
3554 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3555 looking at the tests
3557 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3558 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3559 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3561 * Moose::Meta::Class
3562 - some small changes to support the new
3564 - some small additions to support Roles
3566 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3567 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3569 - some small changes to support the new
3571 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3572 with the 'handles' option
3573 - added several tests for this
3574 - no docs for this yet

3578 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3579 thanks to chansen for this commit
3580 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3581 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3582 on a per-attribute basis
3583 - added tests for this

3585 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3586 experimental feature and probably not finished
