1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
9 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
13 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
15 2.0101 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
19 * Various packaging issues.
21 2.0100 Mon, Jun 06, 2011
25 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
26 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
31 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
32 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
33 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
37 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
38 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
39 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
41 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
45 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
46 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
50 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
52 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
56 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
58 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
62 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
63 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
65 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
69 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
71 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
75 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
77 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
78 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
80 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
84 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
85 skips every other role. (rjbs)
87 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
88 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
89 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
90 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
91 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
93 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
97 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
98 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
99 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
102 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
107 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
109 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
110 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
112 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
116 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
117 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
118 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
122 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
123 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
125 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
126 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
128 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
129 environments. (doy, mateu)
131 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
135 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
136 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
137 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
138 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
142 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
143 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
145 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
149 * Update conflicts list.
152 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
156 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
157 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
158 details. (Dave Rolsky)
160 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
161 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
162 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
163 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
164 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
168 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
169 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
170 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
171 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
172 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
175 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
179 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
180 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
182 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
185 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
189 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
190 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
191 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
192 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
194 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
195 immutable classes). (mo)
197 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
198 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
199 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
201 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
205 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
207 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
209 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
213 * Fix some indexing issues.
215 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
217 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
221 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
222 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
223 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
224 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
225 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
227 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
228 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
233 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
234 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
235 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
236 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
238 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
239 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
240 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
244 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
245 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
248 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
252 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
253 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
257 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
261 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
262 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
263 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
264 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
267 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
271 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
274 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
278 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
279 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
280 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
283 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
287 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
288 policy. (Chris Prather)
290 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
291 on this new support policy. (doy)
295 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
296 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
297 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
299 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
300 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
302 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
306 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
307 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
308 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
309 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
312 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
316 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
317 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
320 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
324 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
325 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
327 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
328 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
332 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
333 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
334 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
335 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
336 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
337 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
339 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
340 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
342 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
343 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
344 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
345 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
347 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
348 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
350 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
355 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
356 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
358 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
362 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
363 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
364 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
366 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
370 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
371 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
372 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
374 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
375 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
378 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
379 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
382 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
383 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
384 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
386 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
387 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
392 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
393 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
394 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
395 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
397 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
398 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
400 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
401 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
403 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
404 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
405 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
406 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
408 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
409 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
410 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
413 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
414 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
415 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
416 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
418 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
419 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
422 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
423 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
424 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
426 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
430 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
431 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
432 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
434 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
435 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
436 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
439 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
440 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
441 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
443 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
444 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
445 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
447 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
448 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
452 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
453 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
454 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
456 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
457 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
458 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
459 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
461 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
465 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
466 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
467 value is a reference.
469 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
470 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
472 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
476 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
477 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
478 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
480 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
484 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
485 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
489 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
490 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
491 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
493 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
494 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
495 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
497 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
501 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
503 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
507 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
509 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
510 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
515 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
516 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
518 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
519 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
520 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
521 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
522 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
524 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
525 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
526 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
527 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
529 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
533 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
534 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
539 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
541 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
543 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
548 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
550 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
554 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
555 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
556 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
558 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
559 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
560 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
561 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
563 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
564 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
565 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
566 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
567 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
570 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
575 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
576 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
577 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
578 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
579 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
582 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
586 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
589 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
590 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
594 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
595 function (not just method). (doy)
599 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
600 and aren't easily installable/testable.
602 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
606 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
607 to be overridden more easily (doy).
609 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
613 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
614 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
616 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
620 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
621 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
622 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
624 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
628 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
629 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
630 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
632 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
633 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
637 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
638 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
640 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
641 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
645 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
646 is applied to a class (t0m).
648 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
649 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
651 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
654 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
655 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
657 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
658 be much more robust. (doy)
660 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
662 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
665 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
669 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
670 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
672 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
676 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
677 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
679 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
682 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
683 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
684 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
686 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
687 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
688 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
691 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
693 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
697 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
698 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
702 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
704 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
708 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
709 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
713 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
714 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
718 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
720 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
724 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
725 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
729 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
730 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
734 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
735 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
737 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
741 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
742 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
743 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
746 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
750 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
751 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
752 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
753 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
755 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
759 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
760 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
761 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
765 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
768 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
772 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
773 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
774 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
778 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
779 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
781 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
782 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
783 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
784 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
786 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
790 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
794 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
795 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
797 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
798 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
799 - Moose::Util::does_role
800 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
801 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
802 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
804 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
808 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
809 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
810 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
813 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
817 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
818 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
821 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
825 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
826 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
829 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
833 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
835 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
836 class. (Dave Rolsky).
838 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
839 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
840 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
842 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
843 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
844 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
847 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
848 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
850 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
851 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
852 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
854 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
856 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
857 substr et al, again. (sorear)
859 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
861 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
864 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
865 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
867 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
868 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
870 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
871 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
872 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
873 dependencies installed.
875 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
876 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
879 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
881 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
885 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
887 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
888 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
889 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
891 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
892 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
893 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
895 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
896 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
899 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
900 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
901 others. (nothingmuch)
903 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
904 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
905 remove_accessors. (doy)
907 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
908 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
909 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
912 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
914 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
915 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
916 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
917 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
920 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
921 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
923 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
924 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
926 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
928 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
929 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
932 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
933 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
934 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
935 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
936 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
938 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
939 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
940 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
941 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
942 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
943 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
944 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
947 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
948 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
949 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
950 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
951 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
953 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
954 which were not receiving the value of
955 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
956 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
957 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
958 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
962 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
963 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
964 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
965 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
966 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
969 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
970 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
971 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
972 - added tests for this (Stevan)
975 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
976 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
977 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
980 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
981 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
982 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
984 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
985 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
986 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
989 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
990 class if you pass it options for
991 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
992 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
993 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
994 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
995 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
996 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
997 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
998 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
999 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1001 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1002 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1003 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1004 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1005 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1008 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1009 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1010 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1011 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1013 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1014 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1015 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1016 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1017 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1018 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1021 * Moose::Error::Croak
1022 * Moose::Error::Confess
1023 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1024 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1027 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1030 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1031 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1032 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1034 * Moose::Meta::Class
1035 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1038 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1039 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1040 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1042 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1043 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1044 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1045 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1046 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1048 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1049 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1052 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1054 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1055 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1058 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1059 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1061 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1062 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1063 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1064 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1066 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1067 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1068 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1069 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1070 using it for new code!
1072 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1073 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1074 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1075 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1077 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1078 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1079 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1080 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1081 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1082 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1083 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1084 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1087 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1090 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1091 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1094 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1095 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1097 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1098 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1099 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1101 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1102 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1103 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1104 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1106 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1107 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1108 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1110 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1111 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1112 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1115 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1116 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1117 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1118 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1119 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1120 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1122 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1124 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1127 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1128 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1129 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1131 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1132 associated_methods. (hdp)
1133 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1134 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1135 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1136 misspelled) arguments
1138 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1139 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1140 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1141 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1143 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1145 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1147 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1150 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1151 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1152 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1155 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1156 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1158 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1159 * Moose::Meta::Class
1160 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1161 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1163 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1164 * Moose::Manual::Types
1165 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1166 string parsing rathole (mst)
1168 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1169 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1170 using plain objects instead
1172 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1173 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1174 that's what we need.
1176 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1177 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1178 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1179 three times today (perigrin)
1180 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1181 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1183 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1184 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1185 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1186 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1189 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1190 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1191 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1192 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1193 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1194 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1197 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1198 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1199 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1200 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1203 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1205 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1208 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1210 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1213 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1214 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1215 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1219 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1220 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1223 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1224 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1226 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1227 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1228 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1230 * Moose::Unsweetened
1231 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1233 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1234 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1237 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1241 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1242 methods during global destruction (doy)
1244 * Moose::Meta::Class
1245 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1246 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1247 consumption (Sartak)
1249 * Moose::Meta::Class
1250 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1251 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1254 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1255 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1258 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1259 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1261 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1263 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1267 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1268 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1269 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1272 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1273 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1274 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1277 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1279 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1280 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1281 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1284 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1285 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1286 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1287 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1289 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1290 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1291 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1294 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1297 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1298 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1299 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1303 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1304 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1306 * Moose::Meta::Class
1307 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1309 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1311 * Moose::Meta::Class
1312 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1313 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1316 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1317 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1320 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1321 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1324 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1327 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1329 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1330 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1333 * Moose::Meta::Class
1334 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1336 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1337 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1340 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1341 * More deprecations and renamings
1342 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1343 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1344 when an object is constructed)
1347 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1348 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1349 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1351 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1352 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1353 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1354 feature, and it works again.
1357 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1359 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1361 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1362 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1363 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1365 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1366 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1367 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1368 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1369 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1372 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1373 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1374 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1375 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1378 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1379 metaclass object. (hdp)
1381 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1382 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1383 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1384 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1385 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1386 point out this fact. (hdp)
1388 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1389 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1391 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1392 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1394 * Moose::Meta::Class
1395 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1396 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1397 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1398 called during instance construction were passed the
1399 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1400 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1402 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1403 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1406 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1407 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1408 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1411 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1412 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1413 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1414 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1415 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1417 - Moose::Meta::Class
1418 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1420 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1421 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1422 when an object is constructed)
1423 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1425 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1426 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1427 when an object is constructed)
1428 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1429 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1430 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1433 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1435 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1436 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1438 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1440 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1441 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1442 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1444 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1445 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1446 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1448 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1450 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1451 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1453 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1454 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1457 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1458 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1461 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1462 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1463 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1465 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1466 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1470 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1471 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1472 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1474 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1475 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1478 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1479 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1480 with recommended workarounds.
1482 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1483 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1485 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1486 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1487 (yes, spelled like that).
1489 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1490 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1492 * Moose::Meta::Class
1493 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1494 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1496 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1498 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1499 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1500 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1501 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1502 instead. Reported by doy.
1504 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1506 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1507 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1509 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1510 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1511 message) is now deprecated.
1512 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1513 often got it wrong. For example:
1515 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1517 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1521 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1522 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1523 bite you in weird cases.
1525 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1526 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1527 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1528 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1530 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1531 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1535 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1538 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1539 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1542 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1543 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1545 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1546 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1549 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1550 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1551 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1552 - added tests for this (stevan)
1554 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1555 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1556 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1557 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1561 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1562 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1563 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1564 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1566 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1567 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1568 - added tests for this (rafl)
1570 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1571 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1572 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1573 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1577 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1578 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1581 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1582 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1583 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1585 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1587 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1588 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1590 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1591 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1592 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1593 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1594 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1596 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1597 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1598 error message did not specify the attribute name
1601 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1603 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1605 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1606 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1607 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1609 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1610 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1613 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1615 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1616 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1617 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1618 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1620 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1622 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1623 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1624 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1625 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1627 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1628 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1629 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1631 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1632 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1633 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1634 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1635 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1637 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1638 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1639 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1640 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1641 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1643 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1644 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1645 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1646 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1647 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1648 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1650 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1651 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1652 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1653 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1654 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1655 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1657 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1658 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1660 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1661 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1662 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1663 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1665 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1666 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1669 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1673 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1674 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1676 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1677 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1678 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1679 guts. (nothingmuch).
1681 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1682 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1683 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1686 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1687 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1688 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1690 * Moose::Meta::Class
1691 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1694 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1695 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1697 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1698 * Moose::Unsweetened
1699 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1702 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1703 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1704 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1705 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1706 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1707 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1709 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1710 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1711 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1712 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1713 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1714 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1715 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1716 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1717 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1718 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1720 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1722 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1723 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1725 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1726 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1727 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1728 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1730 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1731 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1732 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1733 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1734 same methods for a single role did not work
1735 right (worked just fine with multiple
1737 - added test for this (stevan)
1739 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1740 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1741 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1744 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1745 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1746 - added test for this (t0m)
1749 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1750 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1751 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1753 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1754 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1755 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1756 - added test for this (t0m)
1758 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1759 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1760 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1761 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1762 - added test for this (perigrin)
1765 - create method for constructing a role
1766 dynamically (Sartak)
1767 - added test for this (Sartak)
1768 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1769 - added test for this (Sartak)
1772 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1774 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1775 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1776 methods is useful (Sartak)
1778 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1779 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1780 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1783 * Moose::Meta::Class
1784 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1785 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1786 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1787 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1788 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1789 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1792 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1793 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1795 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1796 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1797 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1798 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1799 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1801 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1803 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1804 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1805 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1808 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1809 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1810 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1811 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1812 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1813 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1816 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1817 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1818 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1819 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1820 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1821 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1822 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1823 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1824 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1825 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1826 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1828 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1829 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1832 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1833 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1834 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1835 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1836 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1838 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1840 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1841 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1842 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1844 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1845 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1847 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1848 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1849 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1850 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1853 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1854 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1856 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1858 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1859 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1861 * Moose::Meta::Class
1862 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1863 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1864 a required attribute
1866 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1867 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1868 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1869 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1871 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1872 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1874 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1875 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1876 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1877 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1878 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1879 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1880 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1881 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1883 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1884 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1885 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1887 * Roles and role application
1888 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1889 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1890 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1891 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1892 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1894 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1895 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1898 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1899 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1900 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1901 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1902 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1905 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1906 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1907 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1908 changes in the Moose internals.
1910 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1911 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1912 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1915 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1916 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1917 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1918 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1920 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1921 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1922 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1923 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1925 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1926 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1927 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1928 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1929 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1930 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1931 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1932 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1933 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1934 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1935 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1936 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1937 constraint implementations.
1939 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1943 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1944 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1945 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1946 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1947 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1948 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 - added tests for this (rafl)
1951 * Moose::Meta::Class
1952 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1953 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1954 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1955 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1956 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1957 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1958 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1959 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1962 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1963 - added tests for this (thepler)
1965 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1966 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1967 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1968 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1971 * Moose::Meta::Class
1972 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1973 * Moose::Meta::Method
1976 * Moose::Error::Default
1977 * Moose::Error::Croak
1978 * Moose::Error::Confess
1979 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1980 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1981 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1982 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1983 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1984 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1986 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1988 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1989 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1991 * Moose::Unsweetened
1992 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1993 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1994 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1996 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1997 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1998 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1999 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
2000 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
2003 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2004 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
2006 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
2007 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
2008 several major changes in this release of Moose.
2009 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
2012 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
2014 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
2015 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
2017 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
2020 - Various bug fixes.
2022 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
2023 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
2025 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
2027 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
2028 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2029 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2030 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
2031 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
2032 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
2034 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2035 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
2036 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
2038 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
2039 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
2040 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
2043 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
2044 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
2045 dependency to 0.64_07.
2047 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
2048 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
2049 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
2051 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2052 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
2055 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2056 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2057 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2058 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2059 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2060 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2062 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry

2089 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2091 - added test for this (t0m)

2183 ... this is not my day today ...
2185 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2186 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2187 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2188 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2189 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2192 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2193 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2194 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2195 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2196 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2199 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2201 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2202 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2234 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2235 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2236 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2237 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2238 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2239 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2240 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2241 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2242 - added tests for this
2244 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2245 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2760 - fixed bug when passing a list of values to
2761 an accessor would get (incorrectly) ignored.
2762 Thanks to Sartak for finding this ;)
2763 - added tests for this (Sartak again)
2765 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2766 Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2767 Moose::Meta::Attribute
2768 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2769 Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2772 - type constraint handling
2773 - error handling/messages
2774 (thanks to nothingmuch)
2776 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2777 - added this module to support the refactor
2778 in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2780 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized
2781 - refactored how these types are handled so they
2782 are more generic and not confined to ArrayRef
2786 - shortened some file names for better VMS support (RT #32381)
2788 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2789 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2790 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!
2792 ++ new oose.pm module to make command line
2793 Moose-ness easier (see POD docs for more)

2811 types without having to explictly define them
2812 - added tests for this
2814 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
2815 - allow subclasses to decide whether we need
2816 to copy the value into a new variable (sartak)
2818 0.32 Tues. Dec. 4, 2007
2819 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2820 - fixing how subtype aliases of unions work
2821 they should inherit the parent's coercion
2822 - added tests for this

2824 a single type at different times instead of
2825 having to do it all in one place
2826 - added tests for this
2828 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2829 - there is now a default constraint of sub { 1 }
2830 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2833 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2834 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2835 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2836 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2840 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2841 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2842 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with

2844 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2845 - added tests for this.
2846 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2847 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2848 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2849 - added tests for this
2850 - added docs for this
2852 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2853 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2854 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2855 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2856 instead it will just return undef.
2857 - added docs for this
2859 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007

2871 with work correctly.
2872 - added tests for this
2875 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2876 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2879 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2880 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2881 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2883 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2884 * Moose::Meta::Attribute

2915 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2918 - fixed how required methods are handled
2919 when they encounter overriden or modified
2920 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2921 - added tests for this
2923 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2924 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2925 the | always creates a union and so is
2926 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2927 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2929 - added more tests for this
2931 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2934 * Parameterized Types
2935 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2936 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2937 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2938 They can also be nested:
2939 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2940 And work with the type unions as well:
2941 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2943 * Better Framework Extendability
2944 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2945 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2946 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2947 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2950 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2951 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2952 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2953 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2956 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2958 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2959 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2962 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and
2963 set it to inline the accessors

2989 - fixed issue with generated accessor code making
2990 assumptions about hash based classes (thanks to dexter)
2992 * Moose::Coookbook::Snacks
2993 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2994 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2995 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2997 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2998 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2999 - updated the accompanying test as well
3001 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
3002 +++ with new features added as well +++
3004 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3005 - no longer uses package variable to keep track of
3006 the type constraints, now uses the an instance of
3007 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry to do it
3008 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
3010 - added tests for this
3012 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3013 - some minor adjustments to make subclassing easier
3014 - added the package_defined_in attribute so that we

3018 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
3019 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3021 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
3022 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
3023 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
3024 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

3038 (thanks to shlomif).
3040 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3041 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
3042 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
3043 - added tests for this
3044 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
3046 - added tests for this
3048 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3049 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3050 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3051 - type-constraint tests now handle overloaded objects correctly

3080 - added tests for these
3082 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
3083 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
3085 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3086 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3087 to the 'handles' option.
3088 - added tests and docs for this
3089 - the has '+foo' attribute form now accepts changes to

3091 (but not changing the handles option)
3092 - added tests and docs for this
3095 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3096 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3097 - adjusted tests for this
3099 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3100 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3101 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3107 the other side (perigrin)
3109 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3110 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3111 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3112 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3113 prototypes for functions
3114 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3115 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).
3116 - added tests and docs for this

3125 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3128 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3129 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3130 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3131 - added tests for this
3133 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3135 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport
3136 - modified unimport to remove super and inner along with the rest

3148 where not handled correctly in roles
3149 - added tests for this
3151 * Moose::Meta::Class
3152 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3153 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3154 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3156 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3157 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3159 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3160 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3161 so this release is just to fix that.
3164 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3165 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3166 (thanks to konobi for this)
3167 - added tests and docs
3169 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3170 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3172 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3173 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3174 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3175 - added tests for this
3176 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3177 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3178 functions to facilitate introspection.
3180 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3181 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3182 to build the list of delegated methods
3183 correctly (and not override important
3184 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3186 - added tests and docs for this
3187 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3188 so that you can actually document your
3189 attributes and inspect them through the
3191 - added tests and docs for this
3193 * Moose::Meta::Class
3194 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3195 it will first look in for the class in the
3196 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3197 then default to just loading $name.
3198 - added tests and docs for this
3200 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3201 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3202 - added test for this
3205 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3206 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3207 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3208 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3210 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3211 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3214 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3216 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3217 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3218 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3221 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3222 !! for this developer release to work !!
3224 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3225 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3226 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3227 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3228 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3229 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3230 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3231 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3232 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3233 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3234 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3236 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3237 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3238 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3239 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3242 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3243 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3244 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3245 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3246 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3248 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3250 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3251 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3254 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3255 called unless they actually need to be.
3256 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3257 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3258 DEMOLISH method present.
3260 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3261 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3262 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3263 type constraint, which allows for a
3264 hand optimized version of the type
3265 constraint to be used when possible.
3266 - Any internally created type constraints
3267 now provide an optimized version as well.
3269 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3271 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3272 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3273 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3275 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3276 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3277 your class namespace of these exported
3280 * Moose::Meta::Class
3281 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3282 comes up during global destruction
3284 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3288 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3291 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3292 - changed how we do type checks so that
3293 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3296 - moved accessor generation methods to
3297 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3298 conform to the API changes from
3301 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3302 - changed how constraints are compiled
3303 so that we do less recursion and more
3304 iteration. This makes the type check
3306 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3309 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3310 - created this from methods formerly found in
3311 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3313 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3314 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3316 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3317 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3319 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3320 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3322 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3324 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3325 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3326 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3327 - added tests for this
3328 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3329 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3330 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3331 - removed tests for this
3333 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3335 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3336 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3337 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3340 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3341 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3342 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3344 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3345 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3346 comments for more info.
3349 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3350 asked questions and common problems
3352 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3353 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3354 - added tests for this
3356 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3357 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3358 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3359 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3361 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3362 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3365 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3366 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3367 is much appreciated :)
3368 - added tests for this
3370 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3371 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3372 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3375 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3376 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3378 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3380 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3381 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3385 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3386 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3387 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3389 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3391 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3394 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3395 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3396 keywords because we need to localize them.
3397 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3399 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3400 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3401 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3404 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3407 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3408 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3409 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3412 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3413 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3414 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3416 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3418 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3419 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3420 bottom of your class file.
3423 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3426 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3428 - improved error message when loading modules so
3429 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3430 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3431 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3434 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3435 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3436 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3438 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3439 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3441 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3442 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3443 turn them on for you.
3444 - added tests for this
3445 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3446 in Moose::Meta::Class

3473 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3474 - This release works in combination with
3475 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3476 release because it uses the a new
3477 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3478 complete Role implementation. It has
3479 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3480 the the previous CPAN version. This
3481 release also lacks good updated docs,
3482 the official release will have updated docs.
3485 - refactored the keyword exports
3486 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3487 accepts more than one Role at a time
3488 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3489 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3492 - refactored the keyword exports
3493 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3494 accepts more than one Role at a time
3496 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3497 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3498 string enumerations which can be used as
3500 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3503 - more careful checking of params to new()
3506 - much work done on the role composition
3507 - many new tests for conflict detection
3508 and composition edge cases
3509 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3510 looking at the tests
3512 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3513 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3514 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3516 * Moose::Meta::Class
3517 - some small changes to support the new
3519 - some small additions to support Roles
3521 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3522 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3524 - some small changes to support the new
3526 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3527 with the 'handles' option
3528 - added several tests for this
3529 - no docs for this yet

3533 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3534 thanks to chansen for this commit
3535 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3536 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3537 on a per-attribute basis
3538 - added tests for this
3539 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3540 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3541 experimental feature and probably not finished
3542 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3543 more details, or ask about it on #moose
