2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0600 Sun, Apr 29, 2012
10 * Releasing 2.0502 as stable.
12 2.0502-TRIAL Wed, Apr 25, 2012
16 * The Test::DependentModules test now covers a much wider range of downstream
17 dependents (all of them in fact, for some definition of "all"). This should
18 allow us to track inadvertent backwards compatibility breakages much more
21 * A few test tweaks to avoid spurious failures. (doy)
23 2.0501-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
27 * Avoid syntax errors on pre-5.14. (doy)
29 2.0500-TRIAL Tue, Apr 03, 2012
33 * Class::MOP::Class now has methods for introspecting and modifying the
34 overloaded operators for a class. (doy)
38 * The cookbook recipes have all been renamed. Instead of numbered recipes
39 (Basics::Recipe1), we now have descriptive names
40 (Basics::Point_AttributesAndSubclassing). This makes it easier for us to
41 add and remove recipes in the future, and makes it a little easier to
42 converse about them, since the name gives us some clue of what they
47 * Re-declaring a class_type or role_type constraint that has already been
48 declared now just returns the original type constraint, rather than
49 replacing the original constraint and ergo losing any coercions that were
50 on the original constraint. Fixes RT #73289. (t0m)
52 * Moose::Exporter now calls init_meta methods in the correct order, when
53 multiple levels of 'also' parameters are specified. Reported by Rocco
54 Caputo. (doy, perigrin)
56 * Moose::Exporter no longer generates init_meta methods in order to apply
57 metaroles, since the metaclass itself isn't guaranteed to exist yet at that
58 point. Metaroles are now applied at the end of import, after all
59 user-defined init_meta methods have been called. Fixes RT #51561. (doy)
61 * Fixed a memory leak. This occurred when creating an anonymous
62 class. Immutabilizing an anonymous class still leaks memory due to a bug in
63 Eval::Closure (which should hopefully be fixed soon). Based on code and bug
64 report from Carlos Lima. RT #74650.
66 * Fix a segfault when adding a method to a class which was defined in a
67 package which was deleted. (doy)
69 2.0403 Tue, Apr 03, 2012
73 * No changes, reupload to fix indexing.
75 2.0402 Sat, Feb 04, 2012
79 * Minor documentation fixes.
81 * Fix test failure on blead (test was unnecessarily strict). Reported by
84 2.0401 Thu, Nov 17, 2011
88 * Attributes with weak_ref now weaken their associated slot when they are
89 initialized through a lazy default or builder. Reported by tome. (doy)
91 2.0400 Tue, Nov 15, 2011
95 * No changes from 2.0302 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
97 2.0302-TRIAL Wed, Nov 02, 2011
101 * Fix test failure on 5.8. (Dave Rolsky)
103 * Make make_immutable return value consistent and document it to be true.
106 2.0301-TRIAL Fri, Oct 21, 2011
110 * Fix compilation on 5.8. Reported by ether. (doy)
112 * A custom error class caused a warning when the class that used it was made
113 immutable. Reported by Maroš Kollár. RT #71514. (Dave Rolsky)
117 * The enum type will now allow single value enumerations. Previously, two or
118 more values were required. (rjbs)
120 2.0300-TRIAL Fri, Sep 23, 2011
124 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
125 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
129 * Methods to introspect a class's methods will now return methods defined in
130 UNIVERSAL (isa, can, etc.). This also means that you can wrap these
131 methods with method modifiers. RT #69839. Reported by Vyacheslav
132 Matyukhin. (Dave Rolsky)
134 * The ->parent and ->parents method for a union now return the nearest
135 common ancestor of that union's component types. See Moose::Manual::Delta
136 for more details. (Dave Rolsky)
138 * The ->parents method used to return an arrayref for union types, and a
139 list of one or more types for all other types. Now they all return
142 * The ->is_subtype_of and ->is_a_type_of methods have changed their behavior
143 for union types. Previously, they returned true if any of their member
144 types returned true for a given type. Now, all of the member types must
145 return true. RT #67731. (Dave Rolsky)
149 * The Moose::Exporter module now has a "meta_lookup" option when creating an
150 importer. This allows you to specify an alternate method for determining
151 the metaclass of a caller. This is useful for modules like
152 MooseX::Role::Parameterized which generate new metaclasses on the
155 * Added a Moose::Meta::Method->is_stub method. (Dave Rolsky)
159 * A subtype of a union type did not return the right results when you called
160 ->is_subtype_of or ->is_a_type_of on it. This has been fixed. RT
161 #70322. (Dave Rolsky)
163 * An attribute accessor or delegation method can overwrite a stub method and
164 this will no longer throw an error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT
165 #69988. (Dave Rolsky)
167 * The error generated by unfulfilled method requirements during role
168 composition now mentions how to work around imported methods not being
169 recognized. Reported by Michael Schwern. RT #60583. (doy)
171 * class_type and role_type will now throw errors if you attempt to use them
172 to override existing types, just like type and subtype have always done.
175 * Implicitly creating class or role types by using them as the 'isa' or
176 'does' parameter to attribute construction will now register the type. This
177 means that it cannot later be redefined as something else. (doy)
179 * $class_type->is_subtype_of no longer returns true if passed the name of the
180 class that the class type represents when the class type wasn't registered.
183 * Removing anonymous metaclasses prematurely no longer prevents reaping of
184 the associated stash. (doy)
188 * The Class::MOP::load_class and Class::MOP::is_class_loaded subroutines are
189 no longer documented, and will cause a deprecation warning in the
190 future. Moose now uses Class::Load to provide this functionality, and you
191 should as well. (Dave Rolsky)
193 2.0205 Tue, Sep 06, 2011
197 * The Array and Hash native traits now provide a "shallow_clone" method,
198 which will return a reference to a new container with the same contents as
199 the attribute's reference.
203 * Specifying an invalid value in a hashref 'handles' value now throws a
204 sensible error. Reported by Mark-Jason Dominus. RT #69990. (Dave
209 * When specifying an attribute trait, passing options for the trait besides
210 -alias or -excludes caused a warning. However, passing other options is
211 totally valid when using MooseX::Role::Parameterized. Fixes RT
214 * Allow regexp objects in duck_type constraints (to bring this in line with
215 the Object constraint).
217 2.0204 Thu, Aug 25, 2011
221 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
222 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
227 * Loosen the dependency on ExtUtils::ParseXS.
229 2.0203 Tue, Aug 23, 2011
233 * is_class_loaded now properly detects packages which have a version object
236 * Fix XS compilation under blead.
238 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
242 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
244 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
248 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
251 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
252 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
253 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
255 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
258 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
262 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
264 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
268 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
270 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
274 * Include changes from 2.0010.
276 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
280 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
281 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
285 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
286 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
287 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
292 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
294 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
298 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
299 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
301 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
305 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
307 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
311 * Various packaging issues.
313 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
317 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
318 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
323 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
324 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
325 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
329 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
330 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
331 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
333 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
337 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
338 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
340 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
344 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
345 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
347 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
350 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
351 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
355 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
356 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
358 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
362 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
363 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
367 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
369 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
373 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
375 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
379 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
380 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
382 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
386 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
388 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
392 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
394 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
395 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
397 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
401 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
402 skips every other role. (rjbs)
404 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
405 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
406 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
407 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
408 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
410 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
414 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
415 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
416 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
419 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
424 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
426 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
427 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
429 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
433 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
434 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
435 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
439 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
440 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
442 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
443 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
445 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
446 environments. (doy, mateu)
448 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
452 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
453 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
454 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
455 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
459 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
460 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
462 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
466 * Update conflicts list.
469 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
473 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
474 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
475 details. (Dave Rolsky)
477 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
478 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
479 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
480 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
481 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
485 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
486 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
487 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
488 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
489 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
492 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
496 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
497 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
499 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
502 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
506 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
507 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
508 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
509 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
511 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
512 immutable classes). (mo)
514 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
515 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
516 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
518 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
522 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
524 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
526 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
530 * Fix some indexing issues.
532 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
534 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
538 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
539 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
540 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
541 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
542 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
544 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
545 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
550 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
551 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
552 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
553 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
555 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
556 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
557 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
561 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
562 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
565 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
569 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
570 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
574 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
578 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
579 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
580 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
581 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
584 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
588 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
591 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
595 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
596 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
597 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
600 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
604 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
605 policy. (Chris Prather)
607 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
608 on this new support policy. (doy)
612 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
613 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
614 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
616 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
617 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
619 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
623 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
624 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
625 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
626 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
629 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
633 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
634 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
637 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
641 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
642 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
644 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
645 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
649 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
650 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
651 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
652 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
653 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
654 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
656 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
657 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
659 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
660 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
661 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
662 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
664 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
665 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
667 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
672 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
673 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
675 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
679 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
680 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
681 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
683 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
687 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
688 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
689 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
691 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
692 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
695 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
696 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
699 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
700 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
701 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
703 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
704 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
709 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
710 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
711 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
712 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
714 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
715 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
717 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
718 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
720 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
721 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
722 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
723 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
725 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
726 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
727 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
730 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
731 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
732 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
733 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
735 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
736 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
739 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
740 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
741 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
743 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
747 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
748 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
749 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
751 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
752 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
753 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
756 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
757 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
758 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
760 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
761 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
762 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
764 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
765 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
769 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
770 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
771 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
773 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
774 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
775 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
776 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
778 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
782 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
783 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
784 value is a reference.
786 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
787 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
789 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
793 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
794 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
795 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
797 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
801 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
802 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
806 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
807 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
808 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
810 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
811 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
812 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
814 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
818 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
820 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
824 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
826 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
827 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
832 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
833 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
835 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
836 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
837 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
838 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
839 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
841 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
842 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
843 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
844 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
846 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
850 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
851 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
856 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
858 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
860 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
865 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
867 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
871 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
872 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
873 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
875 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
876 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
877 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
878 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
880 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
881 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
882 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
883 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
884 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
887 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
892 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
893 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
894 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
895 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
896 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
899 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
903 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
906 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
907 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
911 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
912 function (not just method). (doy)
916 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
917 and aren't easily installable/testable.
919 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
923 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
924 to be overridden more easily (doy).
926 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
930 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
931 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
933 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
937 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
938 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
939 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
941 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
945 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
946 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
947 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
949 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
950 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
954 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
955 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
957 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
958 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
962 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
963 is applied to a class (t0m).
965 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
966 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
968 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
971 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
972 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
974 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
975 be much more robust. (doy)
977 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
979 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
982 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
986 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
987 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
989 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
993 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
994 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
996 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
999 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
1000 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
1001 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
1003 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
1004 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
1005 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
1008 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
1010 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
1014 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
1015 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
1019 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
1021 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
1025 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
1026 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
1030 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
1031 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
1035 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
1037 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
1041 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
1042 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
1046 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
1047 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
1051 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
1052 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
1054 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
1058 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
1059 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
1060 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
1063 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
1067 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
1068 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
1069 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
1070 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
1072 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
1076 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
1077 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
1078 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
1082 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
1083 (Michael G. Schwern)
1085 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
1089 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
1090 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
1091 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
1095 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
1096 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
1098 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
1099 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
1100 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
1101 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
1103 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
1107 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
1111 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
1112 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
1114 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
1115 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
1116 - Moose::Util::does_role
1117 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
1118 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
1119 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
1121 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
1125 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
1126 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
1127 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
1130 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1134 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
1135 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
1138 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
1142 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
1143 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
1146 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
1150 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
1152 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
1153 class. (Dave Rolsky).
1155 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
1156 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
1157 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
1159 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
1160 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
1161 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
1164 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
1165 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1167 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
1168 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
1169 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
1171 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
1173 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
1174 substr et al, again. (sorear)
1176 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
1178 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
1181 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
1182 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
1184 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
1185 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
1187 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
1188 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
1189 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
1190 dependencies installed.
1192 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
1193 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
1196 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
1198 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
1202 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
1204 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1205 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
1206 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
1208 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1209 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
1210 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
1212 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
1213 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
1216 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
1217 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
1218 others. (nothingmuch)
1220 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1221 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1222 remove_accessors. (doy)
1224 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1225 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1226 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1229 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1231 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1232 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1233 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1234 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1236 * Moose::Meta::Class
1237 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1238 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1240 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1241 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1243 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1245 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1246 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1249 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1250 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1251 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1252 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1253 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1255 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1256 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1257 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1258 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1259 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1260 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1261 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1264 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1265 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1266 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1267 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1268 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1270 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1271 which were not receiving the value of
1272 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1273 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1274 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1275 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1279 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1280 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1281 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1282 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1283 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1286 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1287 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1288 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1289 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1291 * Moose::Meta::Class
1292 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1293 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1294 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1297 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1298 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1299 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1301 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1302 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1303 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1306 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1307 class if you pass it options for
1308 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1309 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1310 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1311 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1312 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1313 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1314 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1315 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1316 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1318 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1319 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1320 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1321 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1322 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1325 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1326 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1327 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1328 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1330 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1331 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1332 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1333 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1334 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1335 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1338 * Moose::Error::Croak
1339 * Moose::Error::Confess
1340 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1341 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1344 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1347 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1348 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1349 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1351 * Moose::Meta::Class
1352 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1355 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1356 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1357 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1359 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1360 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1361 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1362 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1363 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1365 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1366 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1369 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1371 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1372 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1375 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1376 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1379 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1380 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1381 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1383 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1384 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1385 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1386 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1387 using it for new code!
1389 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1390 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1391 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1392 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1394 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1395 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1396 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1397 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1398 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1399 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1400 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1401 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1404 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1407 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1408 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1411 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1412 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1414 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1415 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1416 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1418 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1419 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1420 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1421 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1423 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1424 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1425 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1427 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1428 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1429 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1432 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1433 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1434 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1435 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1436 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1437 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1439 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1441 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1444 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1445 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1446 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1448 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1449 associated_methods. (hdp)
1450 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1451 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1452 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1453 misspelled) arguments
1455 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1456 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1457 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1458 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1460 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1461 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1462 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1464 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1467 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1468 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1469 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1472 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1473 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1475 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1476 * Moose::Meta::Class
1477 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1478 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1480 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1481 * Moose::Manual::Types
1482 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1483 string parsing rathole (mst)
1485 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1486 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1487 using plain objects instead
1489 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1490 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1491 that's what we need.
1493 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1494 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1495 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1496 three times today (perigrin)
1497 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1498 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1500 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1501 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1502 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1503 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1506 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1507 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1508 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1509 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1510 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1511 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1514 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1515 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1516 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1517 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1520 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1522 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1525 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1527 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1530 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1531 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1532 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1536 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1537 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1540 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1541 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1543 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1544 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1545 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1547 * Moose::Unsweetened
1548 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1550 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1551 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1554 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1558 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1559 methods during global destruction (doy)
1561 * Moose::Meta::Class
1562 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1563 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1564 consumption (Sartak)
1566 * Moose::Meta::Class
1567 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1568 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1571 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1572 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1575 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1576 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1578 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1580 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1584 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1585 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1586 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1589 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1590 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1591 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1594 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1596 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1597 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1598 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1601 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1602 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1603 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1604 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1606 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1607 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1608 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1611 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1614 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1615 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1616 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1620 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1621 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1623 * Moose::Meta::Class
1624 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1626 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1628 * Moose::Meta::Class
1629 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1630 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1633 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1634 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1637 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1638 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1641 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1644 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1646 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1647 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1650 * Moose::Meta::Class
1651 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1653 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1654 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1657 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1658 * More deprecations and renamings
1659 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1660 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1661 when an object is constructed)
1664 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1665 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1666 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1668 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1669 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1670 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1671 feature, and it works again.
1674 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1676 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1678 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1679 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1680 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1682 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1683 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1684 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1685 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1686 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1688 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1689 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1690 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1691 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1692 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1695 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1696 metaclass object. (hdp)
1698 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1699 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1700 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1701 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1702 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1703 point out this fact. (hdp)
1705 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1706 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1708 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1709 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1711 * Moose::Meta::Class
1712 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1713 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1714 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1715 called during instance construction were passed the
1716 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1717 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1719 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1720 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1723 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1724 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1725 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1728 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1729 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1730 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1731 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1732 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1734 - Moose::Meta::Class
1735 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1737 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1738 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1739 when an object is constructed)
1740 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1742 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1743 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1744 when an object is constructed)
1745 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1746 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1747 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1750 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1752 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1753 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1755 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1757 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1758 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1759 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1762 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1763 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1765 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1767 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1768 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1770 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1771 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1775 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1778 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1779 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1780 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1782 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1783 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1787 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1788 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1789 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1791 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1792 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1795 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1796 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1797 with recommended workarounds.
1799 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1800 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1802 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1803 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1804 (yes, spelled like that).
1806 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1807 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1809 * Moose::Meta::Class
1810 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1811 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1813 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1815 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1816 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1817 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1818 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1819 instead. Reported by doy.
1821 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1823 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1824 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1826 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1827 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1828 message) is now deprecated.
1829 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1830 often got it wrong. For example:
1832 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1834 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1838 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1839 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1840 bite you in weird cases.
1842 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1843 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1844 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1845 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1847 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1848 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1852 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1855 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1856 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1859 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1860 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1862 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1863 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1866 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1867 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1868 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1869 - added tests for this (stevan)
1871 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1872 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1873 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1874 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1878 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1879 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1880 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1881 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1883 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1884 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1885 - added tests for this (rafl)
1887 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1888 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1889 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1890 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1894 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1895 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1899 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1900 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1902 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1904 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1905 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1907 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1908 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1909 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1910 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1911 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1913 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1914 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1915 error message did not specify the attribute name
1918 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1920 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1922 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1923 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1924 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1926 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1927 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1930 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1932 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1933 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1934 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1935 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1937 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1939 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1940 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1941 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1942 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1944 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1945 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1946 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1948 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1949 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1950 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1951 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1952 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1954 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1955 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1956 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1957 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1958 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1960 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1961 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1962 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1963 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1964 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1965 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1967 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1968 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1969 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1970 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1971 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1972 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1974 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1975 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1977 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1978 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1979 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1980 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1982 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1983 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1986 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1990 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1991 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1993 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1994 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1995 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1996 guts. (nothingmuch).
1998 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1999 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2000 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
2002 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2003 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2004 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
2005 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
2007 * Moose::Meta::Class
2008 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
2011 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
2012 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
2014 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
2015 * Moose::Unsweetened
2016 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
2019 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
2020 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2021 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
2022 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
2023 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
2024 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
2026 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2027 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
2028 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
2029 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
2030 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
2031 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
2032 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
2033 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
2034 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
2035 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
2037 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
2039 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
2040 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
2042 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2043 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
2044 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
2045 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
2047 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
2048 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
2049 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2050 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
2051 same methods for a single role did not work
2052 right (worked just fine with multiple
2054 - added test for this (stevan)
2056 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2057 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
2058 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
2061 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
2062 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
2063 - added test for this (t0m)
2066 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
2067 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
2068 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
2070 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2071 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
2072 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
2073 - added test for this (t0m)
2075 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2076 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
2077 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
2078 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
2079 - added test for this (perigrin)
2082 - create method for constructing a role
2083 dynamically (Sartak)
2084 - added test for this (Sartak)
2085 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
2086 - added test for this (Sartak)
2089 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
2091 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
2092 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
2093 methods is useful (Sartak)
2095 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
2096 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2097 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
2100 * Moose::Meta::Class
2101 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
2102 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
2103 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
2104 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
2105 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
2106 - added tests for this (jdv79)
2109 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
2110 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
2112 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
2113 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
2114 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
2115 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
2116 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
2118 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
2120 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
2121 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2122 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
2125 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
2126 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
2127 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
2128 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
2129 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
2130 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
2133 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2134 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
2135 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
2136 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
2137 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
2138 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
2139 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
2140 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
2141 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
2142 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
2143 future. (jnapiorkowski)
2145 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2146 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
2149 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2150 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
2151 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
2152 type. (jnapiorkowski)
2153 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2155 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
2157 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
2158 predicate, and link to more details sections in
2159 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
2161 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2162 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
2164 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2165 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
2166 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
2167 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
2170 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
2171 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
2173 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
2175 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
2176 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
2178 * Moose::Meta::Class
2179 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
2180 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
2181 a required attribute
2183 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
2184 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
2185 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
2186 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
2188 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2189 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
2191 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2192 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
2193 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
2194 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
2195 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
2196 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
2197 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
2198 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
2200 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
2201 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
2202 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
2204 * Roles and role application
2205 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
2206 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
2207 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
2208 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
2209 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
2211 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
2212 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
2215 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
2216 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
2217 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
2218 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
2219 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2222 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2223 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2224 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2225 changes in the Moose internals.
2227 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2228 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2229 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2233 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2234 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2235 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2237 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2238 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2239 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2240 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2242 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2243 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2244 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2245 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2246 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2247 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2248 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2249 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2250 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2251 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2252 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2253 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2254 constraint implementations.
2256 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2260 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2261 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2262 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2263 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2264 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2265 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2266 - added tests for this (rafl)
2268 * Moose::Meta::Class
2269 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2270 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2271 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2272 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2273 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2274 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2275 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2276 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2279 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2280 - added tests for this (thepler)
2282 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2283 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2284 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2285 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2288 * Moose::Meta::Class
2289 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2290 * Moose::Meta::Method
2293 * Moose::Error::Default
2294 * Moose::Error::Croak
2295 * Moose::Error::Confess
2296 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2297 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2298 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2299 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2300 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2301 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2303 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2305 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2306 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
2308 * Moose::Unsweetened
2309 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
2310 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
2311 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
2313 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2314 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2315 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2316 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2317 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2320 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2321 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2323 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2324 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2325 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2326 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2329 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2331 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2332 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2334 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2337 - Various bug fixes.
2339 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2340 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2342 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2344 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2345 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2346 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2347 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2348 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2349 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2351 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2352 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2353 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2355 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2356 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2357 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2360 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2361 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2362 dependency to 0.64_07.
2364 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2365 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2366 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2368 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2369 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2372 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2373 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2374 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2375 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2376 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2377 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2379 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2380 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2382 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2384 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
2385 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
2389 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
2390 method when that method was provided by another role being
2391 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
2392 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
2394 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
2396 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
2397 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
2399 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2400 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
2401 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
2402 - added test for this (t0m)
2404 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2405 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2406 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2408 - added test for this (t0m)
2411 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2412 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2413 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2416 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2417 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2419 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2421 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2422 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2424 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2425 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2426 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2428 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2429 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2432 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2433 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2434 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2435 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2439 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2440 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2441 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2444 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2445 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2446 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2447 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2450 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2454 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2455 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making
2456 constructors immutable. (nothingmuch)
2458 0.55 Sun August 3, 2008
2459 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2460 - breaking down the way 'handles' methods are
2461 created so that the process can be more easily
2462 overridden by subclasses (stevan)
2464 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2465 - fixing what is passed into a ->message with
2466 the type constraints (RT #37569)
2467 - added tests for this (Charles Alderman)
2469 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2470 - fix coerce to accept anon types like subtype can (mst)
2473 - reorganized the recipes into sections - Basics, Roles, Meta,
2474 Extending - and wrote abstracts for each section (Dave Rolsky)
2476 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe10
2477 - A new recipe that demonstrates operator overloading
2478 in combination with Moose. (bluefeet)
2480 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe1
2481 - an introduction to what meta is and why you'd want to make
2482 your own metaclass extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2484 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe4
2485 - a very simple metaclass example (Dave Rolsky)
2487 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2488 - how to write a Moose-alike module to use your own object base
2491 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2492 - how to write modules with an API just like C<Moose.pm> (Dave
2496 - Tons of fixes, both syntactical and grammatical (Dave
2497 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2499 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2500 ... this is not my day today ...
2502 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2503 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2504 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2505 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2506 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2509 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2510 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2511 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2512 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2513 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2516 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2518 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2519 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)
2520 - making 'extends' croak if it is passed a Role since
2521 this is not ever something you want to do
2522 (fixed by stevan, found by obra)
2523 - added tests for this (stevan)
2526 - adding support for DOES (as in UNIVERSAL::DOES)
2528 - added test for this
2530 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2531 - added legal_options_for_inheritance (wreis)
2532 - added tests for this (wreis)
2534 * Moose::Cookbook::Snacks::*
2535 - removed some of the unfinished snacks that should
2536 not have been released yet. Added some more examples
2537 to the 'Keywords' snack. (stevan)
2539 * Moose::Cookbook::Style
2540 - added general Moose "style guide" of sorts to the
2541 cookbook (nothingmuch) (RT #34335)
2544 - added more BUILDARGS tests (stevan)
2546 0.51 Thurs. Jun 26, 2008
2548 - add unimport so "no Moose::Role" actually does
2551 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2552 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2553 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2554 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2555 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2556 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2557 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2558 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2559 - added tests for this
2561 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2562 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2563 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very
2564 unhelpful, as opposed to the non-immutable error. Reported by
2566 - added test for this (Dave Rolsky)
2568 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2569 - added support for meta_attr->does("ShortAlias") (sartak)
2570 - added tests for this (sartak)
2571 - moved the bulk of the `handles` handling to the new
2572 install_delegation method (Stevan)
2575 - Added BUILDARGS, a new step in new()
2577 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
2578 - fix typos no one ever sees (sartak)
2580 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2581 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2582 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2583 - Attempt to work around the ??{ } vs. threads issue
2585 - Some null_constraint optimizations
2587 0.50 Thurs. Jun 11, 2008
2588 - Fixed a version number issue by bumping all modules

2595 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2596 - fixed how the is => (ro|rw) works with
2597 custom defined reader, writer and accessor
2599 - added docs for this (TODO).
2600 - added tests for this (Thanks to Penfold)
2601 - added the custom attribute alias for regular
2602 Moose attributes which is "Moose"

2608 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2610 Moose::Meta::Role::Composite
2611 Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2612 - switched usage of reftype to ref because
2616 - changing add_package_symbol to use the new
2620 - fixed how DEMOLISHALL is called so that it
2621 can be overrided in subclasses (thanks to Sartak)
2622 - added test for this (thanks to Sartak)
2624 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2625 - move the ClassName type check code to
2626 Class::MOP::is_class_loaded (thanks to Sartak)
2628 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2629 - add tests for this (thanks to tokuhirom)
2631 0.48 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2632 (early morning release engineering)--
2634 - fixing the version in Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2635 which was causing the indexer to choke
2637 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2638 (late night release engineering)--
2640 - fixing the version is META.yml, no functional
2641 changes in this release
2643 0.46 Wed. May 28, 2008
2644 !! This version now approx. 20-25% !!
2645 !! faster with new Class::MOP 0.57 !!
2647 * Moose::Meta::Class
2648 - some optimizations of the &initialize method
2649 since it is called so often by &meta
2651 * Moose::Meta::Class
2653 - now use the get_all_package_symbols from the
2654 updated Class::MOP, test suite is now 10 seconds
2657 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2658 - is_needed can now also be called as a class
2659 method for immutablization to check if the
2660 destructor object even needs to be created
2663 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
2664 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2665 - added more descriptive error message to help
2666 keep people from wasting time tracking an error
2667 that is easily fixed by upgrading.
2669 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2671 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2672 XS based functionality is now optional
2673 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2674 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2675 can now be used to force non-XS versions
2677 - several of the packages have been tweaked
2678 to take care of this, mostly we added
2679 support for the package_name and name
2680 variables in all the Method metaclasses
2681 - before/around/after method modifiers now
2682 support regexp matching of names
2683 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2684 - tests added for this
2685 - NOTE: this only works for classes, it
2686 is currently not supported in roles,
2687 but, ... patches welcome
2688 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2689 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2690 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2693 - All usage of Carp::confess have been replaced
2694 by Carp::croak in the "keyword" functions since
2695 the stack trace is usually not helpful
2696 - The 'has' keyword for roles now accepts the
2697 same array ref form that Moose.pm does
2698 (has [qw/foo bar/] => (is => 'rw', ...))
2699 - added test for this
2701 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2702 - trigger on a ro-attribute is no longer an
2703 error, as it's useful to trigger off of the
2706 * Moose::Meta::Class
2707 - added same 'add_package_symbol' fix as in
2711 - does_role now handles non-Moose classes
2713 - added tests for this
2714 - added the 'add_method_modifier' function
2715 (thanks to Takatoshi Kitano)
2717 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2718 - subtypes of parameterizable types now are
2719 themselves parameterizable types
2721 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2722 - fixed bug where trigger was not being
2723 called by the inlined immutable
2725 - added test for this (thanks to Caelum)
2727 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToInstance
2728 - now uses the metaclass of the instance
2729 (if possible) to create the anon-class
2730 (thanks Jonathan Rockway)
2732 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe22
2733 - added the meta-attribute trait recipe
2737 - fixed hash-ordering test bug that was
2738 causing occasional cpantester failures
2739 - renamed the t/000_recipe/*.t tests to be
2740 more descriptive (thanks to Sartak)
2742 0.44 Sat. May 10, 2008
2744 - made make_immutable warning cluck to
2745 show where the error is (thanks mst)
2748 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL now call
2749 ->body when looping through the
2750 methods, to avoid the overloaded
2752 - fixed issue where DEMOLISHALL was
2753 eating the $@ values, and so not
2754 working correctly, it still kind of
2755 eats them, but so does vanilla perl
2756 - added tests for this
2758 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe7
2759 - added new recipe for immutable
2760 functionality (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2762 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe9
2763 - added new recipe for builder and
2764 lazy_build (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2766 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe11
2767 - added new recipe for method aliasing
2768 and exclusion with Roles (thanks Dave Rolsky)
2771 - fixed Win32 test failure (thanks spicyjack)
2773 ~ removed Build.PL and Module::Build compat
2774 since Module::Install has done that.
2776 0.43 Wed. April, 30, 2008
2778 drink more coffee before
2779 doing release engineering
2781 - whoops, forgot to do the smolder tests,
2782 and we broke some of the custom meta-attr
2783 modules. This fixes that.
2785 0.42 Mon. April 28, 2008
2786 - some bad tests slipped by, nothing else
2787 changed in this release (cpantesters++)
2789 - upped the Class::MOP dependency to 0.55

2896 0.39 Fri. March 14, 2008
2898 - documenting the use of '+name' with attributes

3189 - added tests for this
3192 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
3193 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3232 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3235 - fixed how required methods are handled
3236 when they encounter overriden or modified
3237 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3238 - added tests for this
3240 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3241 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3242 the | always creates a union and so is
3243 no longer a valid type char (thanks to

3248 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3251 * Parameterized Types
3252 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3253 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3254 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3255 They can also be nested:
3256 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3257 And work with the type unions as well:
3258 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3260 * Better Framework Extendability
3261 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3262 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3263 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3264 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3267 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3268 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3269 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3270 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.

3461 - modified tests for these to unimport one test class each to test
3464 - fixed issue where custom attribute metaclasses
3465 where not handled correctly in roles
3466 - added tests for this
3468 * Moose::Meta::Class
3469 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3470 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3471 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3473 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3474 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3476 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3477 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3478 so this release is just to fix that.
3481 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3482 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3483 (thanks to konobi for this)
3484 - added tests and docs
3486 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3487 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3489 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3490 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3491 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3492 - added tests for this
3493 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3494 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3495 functions to facilitate introspection.
3497 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3498 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3499 to build the list of delegated methods
3500 correctly (and not override important
3501 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3503 - added tests and docs for this
3504 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3505 so that you can actually document your
3506 attributes and inspect them through the
3508 - added tests and docs for this
3510 * Moose::Meta::Class
3511 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3512 it will first look in for the class in the
3513 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3514 then default to just loading $name.
3515 - added tests and docs for this
3517 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3518 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3519 - added test for this
3522 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3523 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3524 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3525 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3527 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3528 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3531 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3533 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3534 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3535 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3538 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3539 !! for this developer release to work !!
3541 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3542 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3543 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3544 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3545 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3546 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3547 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3548 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3549 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3550 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3551 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3553 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3554 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3555 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3556 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3559 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3560 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3561 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3562 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3563 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3565 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3567 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3568 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3571 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3572 called unless they actually need to be.
3573 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3574 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3575 DEMOLISH method present.
3577 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3578 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3579 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3580 type constraint, which allows for a
3581 hand optimized version of the type
3582 constraint to be used when possible.
3583 - Any internally created type constraints
3584 now provide an optimized version as well.
3586 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3588 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3589 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3590 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3593 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3594 your class namespace of these exported
3597 * Moose::Meta::Class
3598 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3599 comes up during global destruction
3601 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3605 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3608 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3609 - changed how we do type checks so that
3610 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3613 - moved accessor generation methods to
3614 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3615 conform to the API changes from
3618 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3619 - changed how constraints are compiled
3620 so that we do less recursion and more
3621 iteration. This makes the type check
3623 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3626 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3627 - created this from methods formerly found in
3628 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3630 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3631 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3633 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3634 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3636 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3637 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3639 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3641 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3642 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3643 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3644 - added tests for this
3645 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3646 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3647 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3648 - removed tests for this
3650 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3652 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3653 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3654 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3657 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3658 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3659 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3661 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3662 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3663 comments for more info.
3666 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3667 asked questions and common problems
3669 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3670 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3671 - added tests for this
3673 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3674 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3675 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3676 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3678 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3679 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3682 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3683 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3684 is much appreciated :)
3685 - added tests for this
3687 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3688 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3689 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3692 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3693 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3695 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3697 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3698 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3702 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3703 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3704 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3706 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3708 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3711 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3712 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3713 keywords because we need to localize them.
3714 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3716 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3717 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3718 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3721 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3724 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3725 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3726 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3729 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3730 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3731 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3733 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3735 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3736 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3737 bottom of your class file.
3740 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3743 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3745 - improved error message when loading modules so
3746 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3747 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3748 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3751 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3752 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3753 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3755 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3756 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3758 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3759 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3760 turn them on for you.
3761 - added tests for this
3762 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3763 in Moose::Meta::Class

3790 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3791 - This release works in combination with
3792 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3793 release because it uses the a new
3794 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3795 complete Role implementation. It has
3796 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3797 the the previous CPAN version. This
3798 release also lacks good updated docs,
3799 the official release will have updated docs.
3802 - refactored the keyword exports
3803 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3804 accepts more than one Role at a time

3810 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3811 accepts more than one Role at a time
3813 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints

3815 string enumerations which can be used as
3817 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3820 - more careful checking of params to new()
3823 - much work done on the role composition
3824 - many new tests for conflict detection
3825 and composition edge cases
3826 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3827 looking at the tests
3829 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3830 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3831 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3833 * Moose::Meta::Class

3836 - some small additions to support Roles
3838 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3839 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3841 - some small changes to support the new
3843 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3844 with the 'handles' option
3845 - added several tests for this
3846 - no docs for this yet

3850 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3851 thanks to chansen for this commit
3852 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3853 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3854 on a per-attribute basis
3855 - added tests for this
3856 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3857 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
