6 2.0302 Wed, Nov 02, 2011
10 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
12 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
15 2.0301 Fri, Oct 21, 2011
19 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
21 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
22 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
26 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
27 more values were required. (rjbs)
29 2.0300 Fri, Sep 23, 2011
33 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
34 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
38 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
39 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
40 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
41 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
43 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
44 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
45 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
47 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
48 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
51 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
52 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
53 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
54 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
58 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
59 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
60 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
61 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
64 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
68 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
69 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
72 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
73 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
76 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
77 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
78 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
80 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
81 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
84 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
85 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
86 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
88 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
89 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
92 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
93 the associated stash. (doy)
97 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
98 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
99 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
100 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
102 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
106 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
107 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
108 the attribute's reference.
112 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
113 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
118 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
119 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
120 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
123 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
124 the Object constraint).
126 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
130 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
131 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
136 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
138 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
142 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
145 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
147 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
151 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
153 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
157 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
160 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
161 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
162 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
164 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
167 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
171 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
173 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
177 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
179 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
183 * Include changes from 2.0010.
185 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
189 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
190 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
194 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
195 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
196 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
201 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
203 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
207 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
208 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
210 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
214 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
216 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
220 * Various packaging issues.
222 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
226 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
227 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
232 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
233 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
234 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
238 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
239 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
240 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
242 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
246 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
247 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
249 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
253 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
254 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
256 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
259 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
260 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
264 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
265 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
267 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
271 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
272 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
276 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
278 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
282 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
284 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
288 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
289 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
291 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
295 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
297 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
301 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
303 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
304 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
306 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
310 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
311 skips every other role. (rjbs)
313 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
314 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
315 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
316 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
317 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
319 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
323 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
324 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
325 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
328 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
333 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
335 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
336 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
338 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
342 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
343 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
344 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
348 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
349 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
351 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
352 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
354 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
355 environments. (doy, mateu)
357 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
361 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
362 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
363 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
364 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
368 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
369 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
371 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
375 * Update conflicts list.
378 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
382 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
383 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
384 details. (Dave Rolsky)
386 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
387 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
388 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
389 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
390 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
394 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
395 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
396 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
397 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
398 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
401 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
405 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
406 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
408 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
411 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
415 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
416 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
417 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
418 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
420 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
421 immutable classes). (mo)
423 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
424 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
425 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
427 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
431 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
433 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
435 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
439 * Fix some indexing issues.
441 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
443 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
447 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
448 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
449 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
450 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
451 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
453 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
454 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
459 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
460 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
461 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
462 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
464 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
465 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
466 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
470 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
471 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
474 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
478 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
479 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
483 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
487 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
488 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
489 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
490 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
493 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
497 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
500 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
504 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
505 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
506 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
509 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
513 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
514 policy. (Chris Prather)
516 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
517 on this new support policy. (doy)
521 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
522 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
523 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
525 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
526 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
528 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
532 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
533 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
534 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
535 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
538 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
542 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
543 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
546 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
550 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
551 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
553 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
554 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
558 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
559 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
560 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
561 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
562 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
563 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
565 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
566 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
568 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
569 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
570 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
571 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
573 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
574 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
576 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
581 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
582 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
584 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
588 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
589 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
590 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
592 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
596 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
597 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
598 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
600 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
601 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
604 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
605 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
608 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
609 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
610 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
612 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
613 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
618 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
619 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
620 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
621 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
623 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
624 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
626 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
627 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
629 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
630 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
631 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
632 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
634 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
635 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
636 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
639 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
640 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
641 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
642 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
644 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
645 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
648 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
649 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
650 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
652 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
656 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
657 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
658 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
660 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
661 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
662 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
665 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
666 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
667 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
669 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
670 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
671 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
673 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
674 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
678 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
679 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
680 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
682 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
683 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
684 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
685 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
687 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
691 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
692 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
693 value is a reference.
695 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
696 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
698 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
702 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
703 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
704 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
706 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
710 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
711 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
715 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
716 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
717 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
719 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
720 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
721 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
723 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
727 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
729 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
733 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
735 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
736 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
741 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
742 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
744 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
745 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
746 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
747 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
748 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
750 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
751 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
752 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
753 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
755 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
759 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
760 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
765 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
767 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
769 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
774 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
776 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
780 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
781 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
782 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
784 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
785 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
786 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
787 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
789 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
790 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
791 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
792 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
793 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
796 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
801 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
802 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
803 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
804 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
805 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
808 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
812 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
815 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
816 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
820 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
821 function (not just method). (doy)
825 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
826 and aren't easily installable/testable.
828 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
832 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
833 to be overridden more easily (doy).
835 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
839 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
840 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
842 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
846 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
847 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
848 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
850 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
854 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
855 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
856 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
858 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
859 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
863 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
864 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
866 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
867 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
871 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
872 is applied to a class (t0m).
874 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
875 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
877 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
880 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
881 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
883 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
884 be much more robust. (doy)
886 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
888 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
891 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
895 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
896 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
898 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
902 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
903 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
905 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
908 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
909 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
910 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
912 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
913 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
914 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
917 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
919 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
923 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
924 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
928 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
930 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
934 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
935 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
939 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
940 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
944 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
946 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
950 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
951 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
955 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
956 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
960 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
961 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
963 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
967 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
968 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
969 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
972 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
976 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
977 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
978 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
979 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
981 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
985 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
986 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
987 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
991 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
994 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
999 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1000 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1004 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1005 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1007 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1008 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1009 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1010 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1012 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1016 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1020 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1021 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1023 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1024 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1025 - Moose::Util::does_role
1026 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1027 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1028 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1030 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1034 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1035 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1036 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1039 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1043 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1044 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1047 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1051 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1052 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1055 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1059 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1061 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1062 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1064 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1065 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1066 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1068 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1069 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1070 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1073 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1074 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1076 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1077 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1078 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1080 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1082 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1083 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1085 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1087 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1090 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1091 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1093 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1094 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1096 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1097 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1098 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1099 dependencies installed.
1101 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1102 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1105 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1107 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1111 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1113 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1114 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1115 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1117 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1118 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1119 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1121 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1122 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1125 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1126 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1127 others. (nothingmuch)
1129 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1130 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1131 remove_accessors. (doy)
1133 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1134 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1135 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1138 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1140 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1141 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1142 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1143 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1145 * Moose::Meta::Class
1146 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1147 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1149 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1150 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1152 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1154 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1155 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1158 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1159 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1160 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1161 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1162 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1164 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1165 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1166 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1167 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1168 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1169 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1170 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1173 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1174 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1175 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1176 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1177 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1179 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1180 which were not receiving the value of
1181 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1182 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1183 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1184 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1188 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1189 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1190 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1191 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1192 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1195 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1196 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1197 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1198 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1200 * Moose::Meta::Class
1201 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1202 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1203 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1206 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1207 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1208 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1210 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1211 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1212 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1215 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1216 class if you pass it options for
1217 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1218 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1219 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1220 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1221 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1222 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1223 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1224 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1225 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1227 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1228 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1229 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1230 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1231 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1234 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1235 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1236 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1237 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1239 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1240 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1241 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1242 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1243 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1244 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1247 * Moose::Error::Croak
1248 * Moose::Error::Confess
1249 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1250 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1253 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1256 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1257 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1258 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1260 * Moose::Meta::Class
1261 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1264 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1265 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1266 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1268 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1269 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1270 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1271 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1272 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1274 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1275 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1278 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1280 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1281 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1284 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1285 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1287 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1288 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1289 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1290 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1292 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1293 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1294 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1295 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1296 using it for new code!
1298 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1299 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1300 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1301 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1303 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1304 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1305 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1306 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1307 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1308 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1309 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1310 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1313 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1316 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1317 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1320 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1321 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1323 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1324 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1325 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1327 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1328 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1329 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1330 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1332 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1333 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1334 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1336 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1337 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1338 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1341 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1342 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1343 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1344 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1345 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1346 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1348 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1350 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1353 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1354 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1355 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1357 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1358 associated_methods. (hdp)
1359 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1360 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1361 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1362 misspelled) arguments
1364 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1365 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1366 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1367 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1369 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1370 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1371 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1373 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1376 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1377 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1378 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1381 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1382 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1384 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1385 * Moose::Meta::Class
1386 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1387 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1389 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1390 * Moose::Manual::Types
1391 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1392 string parsing rathole (mst)
1394 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1395 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1396 using plain objects instead
1398 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1399 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1400 that's what we need.
1402 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1403 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1404 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1405 three times today (perigrin)
1406 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1407 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1409 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1410 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1411 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1412 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1415 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1416 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1417 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1418 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1419 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1420 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1423 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1424 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1425 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1426 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1429 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1431 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1434 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1436 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1439 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1440 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1441 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1445 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1446 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1449 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1450 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1452 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1453 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1454 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1456 * Moose::Unsweetened
1457 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1459 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1460 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1463 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1467 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1468 methods during global destruction (doy)
1470 * Moose::Meta::Class
1471 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1472 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1473 consumption (Sartak)
1475 * Moose::Meta::Class
1476 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1477 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1480 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1481 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1484 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1485 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1487 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1489 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1493 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1494 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1495 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1498 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1499 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1500 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1503 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1505 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1506 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1507 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1510 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1511 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1512 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1513 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1515 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1516 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1517 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1520 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1523 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1524 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1525 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1529 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1530 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1532 * Moose::Meta::Class
1533 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1535 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1537 * Moose::Meta::Class
1538 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1539 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1542 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1543 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1546 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1547 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1550 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1553 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1555 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1556 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1559 * Moose::Meta::Class
1560 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1562 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1563 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1566 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1567 * More deprecations and renamings
1568 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1569 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1570 when an object is constructed)
1573 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1574 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1575 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1577 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1578 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1579 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1580 feature, and it works again.
1583 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1585 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1587 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1588 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1589 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1591 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1592 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1593 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1594 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1595 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1597 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1598 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1599 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1600 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1601 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1604 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1605 metaclass object. (hdp)
1607 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1608 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1609 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1610 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1611 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1612 point out this fact. (hdp)
1614 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1615 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1617 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1618 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1620 * Moose::Meta::Class
1621 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1622 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1623 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1624 called during instance construction were passed the
1625 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1626 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1628 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1629 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1632 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1633 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1634 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1637 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1638 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1639 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1640 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1641 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1643 - Moose::Meta::Class
1644 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1646 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1647 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1648 when an object is constructed)
1649 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1651 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1652 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1653 when an object is constructed)
1654 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1655 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1656 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1659 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1661 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1662 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1664 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1666 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1667 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1668 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1670 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1671 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1672 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1674 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1676 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1677 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1679 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1680 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1683 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1684 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1687 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1688 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1689 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1691 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1692 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1696 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1697 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1698 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1700 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1701 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1704 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1705 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1706 with recommended workarounds.
1708 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1709 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1711 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1712 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1713 (yes, spelled like that).
1715 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1716 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1718 * Moose::Meta::Class
1719 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1720 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1722 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1724 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1725 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1726 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1727 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1728 instead. Reported by doy.
1730 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1732 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1733 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1735 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1736 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1737 message) is now deprecated.
1738 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1739 often got it wrong. For example:
1741 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1743 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1747 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1748 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1749 bite you in weird cases.
1751 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1752 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1753 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1754 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1756 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1757 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1761 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1764 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1765 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1768 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1769 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1771 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1772 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1775 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1776 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1777 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1778 - added tests for this (stevan)
1780 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1781 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1782 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1783 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1787 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1788 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1789 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1790 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1792 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1793 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1794 - added tests for this (rafl)
1796 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1797 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1798 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1799 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1803 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1804 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1807 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1808 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1809 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1813 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1814 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1816 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1817 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1818 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1819 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1820 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1822 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1823 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1824 error message did not specify the attribute name
1827 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1829 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1831 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1832 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1833 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1835 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1836 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1839 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1841 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1842 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1843 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1844 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1846 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1848 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1849 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1850 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1851 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1854 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1855 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1857 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1858 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1859 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1860 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1861 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1863 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1864 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1865 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1866 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1867 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1869 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1870 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1871 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1872 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1873 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1874 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1876 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1877 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1878 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1879 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1880 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1881 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1883 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1884 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1886 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1887 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1888 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1889 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1892 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1895 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1899 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1900 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1902 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1903 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1904 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1905 guts. (nothingmuch).
1907 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1908 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1909 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1912 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1913 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1914 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1916 * Moose::Meta::Class
1917 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1920 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1921 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1923 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1924 * Moose::Unsweetened
1925 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1928 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1929 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1930 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1931 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1932 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1933 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1935 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1936 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1937 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1938 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1939 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1940 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1941 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1942 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1943 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1944 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1946 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1948 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1949 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1951 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1952 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1953 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1954 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1956 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1957 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1958 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1959 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1960 same methods for a single role did not work
1961 right (worked just fine with multiple
1963 - added test for this (stevan)
1965 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1966 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1967 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1970 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1971 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1972 - added test for this (t0m)
1975 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1976 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1977 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1979 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1980 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1981 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1982 - added test for this (t0m)
1984 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1985 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1986 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1987 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1988 - added test for this (perigrin)
1991 - create method for constructing a role
1992 dynamically (Sartak)
1993 - added test for this (Sartak)
1994 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1995 - added test for this (Sartak)
1998 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2000 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2001 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2002 methods is useful (Sartak)
2004 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2005 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2006 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2009 * Moose::Meta::Class
2010 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2011 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2012 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2013 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2014 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2015 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2018 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2019 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2021 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2022 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2023 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2024 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2025 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2027 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2029 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2030 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2031 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2034 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2035 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2036 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2037 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2038 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2039 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2042 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2043 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2044 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2045 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2046 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2047 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2048 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2049 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2050 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2051 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2052 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2054 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2055 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2058 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2059 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2060 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2061 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2062 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2064 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2066 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2067 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2068 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2070 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2071 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2073 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2074 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2075 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2076 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2079 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2080 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2082 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2084 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2085 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2087 * Moose::Meta::Class
2088 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2089 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2090 a required attribute
2092 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2093 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2094 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2095 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2097 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2098 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2100 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2101 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2102 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2103 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2104 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2105 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2106 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2107 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2109 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2110 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2111 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2113 * Roles and role application
2114 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2115 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2116 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2117 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2118 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2120 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2121 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2124 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2125 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2126 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2127 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2128 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2131 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2132 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2133 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2134 changes in the Moose internals.
2136 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2137 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2138 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2141 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2142 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2143 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2144 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2146 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2147 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2148 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2149 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2151 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2152 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2153 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2154 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2155 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2156 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2157 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2158 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2159 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2160 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2161 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2162 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2163 constraint implementations.
2165 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2169 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2170 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2171 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2172 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2173 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2174 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2175 - added tests for this (rafl)
2177 * Moose::Meta::Class
2178 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2179 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2180 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2181 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2182 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2183 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2184 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2185 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2188 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2189 - added tests for this (thepler)
2191 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2192 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2193 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2194 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2197 * Moose::Meta::Class
2198 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2199 * Moose::Meta::Method
2202 * Moose::Error::Default
2203 * Moose::Error::Croak
2204 * Moose::Error::Confess
2205 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2206 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2207 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2208 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2209 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2210 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2212 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2214 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2215 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2217 * Moose::Unsweetened
2218 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2219 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2220 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2222 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2223 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2224 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2225 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2226 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2229 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2230 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2232 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2233 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2234 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2235 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2238 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2240 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2241 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2243 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2246 - Various bug fixes.
2248 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2249 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.

2253 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2254 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2255 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2256 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2257 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2258 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2260 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2261 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2262 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2264 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3

2269 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2270 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2271 dependency to 0.64_07.
2273 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2274 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2275 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2277 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2278 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2281 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2282 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2283 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2284 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2285 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2286 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2288 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2289 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2291 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2293 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2294 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2298 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2299 method when that method was provided by another role being
2300 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2301 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2303 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008

2311 - added test for this (t0m)
2313 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2314 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2315 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2317 - added test for this (t0m)
2320 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2321 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2322 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2325 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2326 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2328 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2330 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2331 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2333 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2334 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2335 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2337 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2338 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2341 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2342 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2

2344 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2348 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2349 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2350 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)

2354 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2355 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2356 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2359 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2363 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash

2368 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2369 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are

2405 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2406 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2408 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2409 ... this is not my day today ...
2411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2412 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2413 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2414 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2415 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2418 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2419 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2420 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2421 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2422 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2425 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2427 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2428 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2429 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2430 this is not ever something you want to do
2431 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2432 - added tests for this (stevan)
2435 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2437 - added test for this

2449 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2450 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2453 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2455 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2457 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2460 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2461 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2462 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2463 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2464 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2465 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2466 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2467 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2468 - added tests for this
2470 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2471 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2472 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2473 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by

2544 which was causing the indexer to choke
2546 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2547 (late night release engineering)--
2549 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2550 changes in this release

2563 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2566 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2567 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2568 method for immutablization to check if the
2569 destructor object even needs to be created
2572 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2573 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2574 - added more descriptive error message to help
2575 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2576 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2578 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2580 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2581 XS based functionality is now optional
2582 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2583 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2584 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2586 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2587 to take care of this, mostly we added
2588 support for the package_name and name
2589 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2590 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2591 support regexp matching of names
2592 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2593 - tests added for this
2594 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2595 is currently not supported in roles,
2596 but, ... patches welcome
2597 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2598 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2599 the stack trace is usually not helpful

2603 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2604 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2605 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2606 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2607 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2608 - added test for this
2610 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2611 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2612 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2615 * Moose::Meta::Class
2616 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2620 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2622 - added tests for this
2623 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2624 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2626 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2627 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2628 themselves parameterizable types

2632 called by the inlined immutable
2634 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2636 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2637 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2638 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2639 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2641 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2642 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe

2654 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2657 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2658 ->body when looping through the
2659 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2661 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2662 eating the $@ values, and so not
2663 working correctly, it still kind of
2664 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2665 - added tests for this
2667 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2668 - added new recipe for immutable
2669 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2671 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9

2687 drink more coffee before
2688 doing release engineering
2690 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2691 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2692 modules. This fixes that.

2695 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2696 changed in this release (cpantesters++)

2724 - added test for this
2726 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2802 0.40 Fri. March 14, 2008
2803 - I hate Pod::Coverage
2805 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2807 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes
2808 that come from recently composed roles. It makes
2809 sense, people are using it, and so why not just
2810 officially support it.
2811 - fixing the 'extends' keyword so that it will not
2812 trigger Ovid's bug (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/35763)
2815 - added the perl -Moose=+Class::Name feature to allow
2816 monkeypatching of classes in one liners

2847 from a role, it works and makes sense too.
2849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2850 - fix handles so that it doesn't return nothing
2851 when the method cannot be found, not sure why
2852 it ever did this originally, this means we now
2853 have slightly better support for AUTOLOADed
2855 - added more delegation tests
2856 - adding ->does method to this so as to better
2857 support traits and their introspection.
2858 - added tests for this

3098 - added tests for this
3101 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3102 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3141 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3144 - fixed how required methods are handled
3145 when they encounter overriden or modified
3146 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3147 - added tests for this
3149 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3150 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3151 the | always creates a union and so is
3152 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3153 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3155 - added more tests for this
3157 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3160 * Parameterized Types
3161 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3162 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3163 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3164 They can also be nested:
3165 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3166 And work with the type unions as well:
3167 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3169 * Better Framework Extendability
3170 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3171 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3172 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3173 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3176 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3177 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3178 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3179 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3182 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3184 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of

3419 * Moose::Meta::Class
3420 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3421 it will first look in for the class in the
3422 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3423 then default to just loading $name.
3424 - added tests and docs for this
3426 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3427 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3428 - added test for this

3433 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3434 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3436 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3437 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3440 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3442 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3443 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3444 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3447 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3448 !! for this developer release to work !!
3450 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3451 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3452 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3453 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3454 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3455 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3456 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3457 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3458 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3459 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3460 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3462 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3463 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3464 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3465 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3468 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3469 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3470 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3471 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3472 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3474 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3476 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3477 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3480 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3481 called unless they actually need to be.
3482 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3483 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3484 DEMOLISH method present.
3486 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3487 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3488 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3489 type constraint, which allows for a
3490 hand optimized version of the type
3491 constraint to be used when possible.
3492 - Any internally created type constraints
3493 now provide an optimized version as well.
3495 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3497 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3498 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3499 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3501 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3502 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3503 your class namespace of these exported
3506 * Moose::Meta::Class
3507 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3508 comes up during global destruction
3510 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3514 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3517 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3518 - changed how we do type checks so that
3519 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3522 - moved accessor generation methods to
3523 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3524 conform to the API changes from
3527 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3528 - changed how constraints are compiled
3529 so that we do less recursion and more
3530 iteration. This makes the type check
3532 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3535 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3536 - created this from methods formerly found in
3537 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3539 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3540 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3542 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3543 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3545 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3546 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3548 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3550 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3551 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3552 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3553 - added tests for this
3554 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3555 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3556 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3557 - removed tests for this
3559 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3561 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3562 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3563 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3566 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3567 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3568 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3570 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3571 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3572 comments for more info.
3575 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3576 asked questions and common problems
3578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3579 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3580 - added tests for this
3582 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3583 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3584 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3585 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3587 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3588 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3591 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3592 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3593 is much appreciated :)
3594 - added tests for this
3596 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3597 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3598 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3602 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3604 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3606 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3607 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3611 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3612 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3613 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3615 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3617 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3620 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3621 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3622 keywords because we need to localize them.
3623 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3625 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3626 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3627 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3630 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3633 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3634 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3635 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3638 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3639 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3640 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3642 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3644 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3645 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3646 bottom of your class file.
3649 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3652 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3654 - improved error message when loading modules so
3655 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3656 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3657 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3660 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3661 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3662 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3664 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3665 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3667 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3668 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3669 turn them on for you.
3670 - added tests for this
3671 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3672 in Moose::Meta::Class
3675 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3676 automatically turned on for you.

3698 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3699 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3700 - This release works in combination with
3701 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3702 release because it uses the a new
3703 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3704 complete Role implementation. It has
3705 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3706 the the previous CPAN version. This
3707 release also lacks good updated docs,
3708 the official release will have updated docs.
3711 - refactored the keyword exports
3712 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3713 accepts more than one Role at a time
3714 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3715 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3718 - refactored the keyword exports
3719 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3720 accepts more than one Role at a time
3722 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3723 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3724 string enumerations which can be used as
3726 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3729 - more careful checking of params to new()
3732 - much work done on the role composition
3733 - many new tests for conflict detection
3734 and composition edge cases
3735 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3736 looking at the tests
3738 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3739 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3740 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3742 * Moose::Meta::Class
3743 - some small changes to support the new
3745 - some small additions to support Roles
3747 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3748 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3750 - some small changes to support the new
3752 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3753 with the 'handles' option
3754 - added several tests for this
3755 - no docs for this yet
3757 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3759 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3760 thanks to chansen for this commit
3761 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3762 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3763 on a per-attribute basis
3764 - added tests for this
3765 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3766 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3767 experimental feature and probably not finished

3769 more details, or ask about it on #moose
3770 - added tests for this

3832 - fixed bug where incorrect subtype conflicts were
3834 - added test for this
3837 - this class can now be extended with 'use base' if
