1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
6 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
10 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
11 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
12 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
15 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
20 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
22 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
23 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
25 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
29 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
30 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
31 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
35 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
36 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
38 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
39 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
41 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
42 environments. (doy, mateu)
44 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
48 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
49 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
50 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
51 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
55 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
56 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
58 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
62 * Update conflicts list.
65 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
69 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
70 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
71 details. (Dave Rolsky)
73 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
74 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
75 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
76 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
77 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
81 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
82 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
83 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
84 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
85 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
88 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
92 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
93 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
95 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
98 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
102 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
103 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
104 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
105 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
107 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
108 immutable classes). (mo)
110 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
111 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
112 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
114 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
118 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
120 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
122 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
126 * Fix some indexing issues.
128 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
130 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
134 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
135 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
136 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
137 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
138 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
140 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
141 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
146 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
147 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
148 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
149 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
151 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
152 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
153 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
157 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
158 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
161 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
165 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
166 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
170 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
174 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
175 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
176 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
177 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
180 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
184 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
187 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
191 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
192 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
193 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
196 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
200 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
201 policy. (Chris Prather)
203 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
204 on this new support policy. (doy)
208 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
209 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
210 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
212 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
213 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
215 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
219 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
220 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
221 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
222 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
225 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
229 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
230 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
233 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
237 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
238 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
240 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
241 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
245 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
246 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
247 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
248 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
249 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
250 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
252 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
253 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
255 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
256 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
257 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
258 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
260 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
261 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
263 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
268 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
269 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
271 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
275 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
276 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
277 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
279 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
283 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
284 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
285 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
287 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
288 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
291 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
292 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
295 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
296 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
297 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
299 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
300 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
305 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
306 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
307 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
308 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
310 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
311 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
313 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
314 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
316 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
317 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
318 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
319 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
321 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
322 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
323 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
326 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
327 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
328 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
329 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
331 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
332 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
335 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
336 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
337 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
339 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
343 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
344 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
345 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
347 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
348 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
349 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
352 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
353 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
354 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
356 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
357 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
358 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
360 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
361 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
365 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
366 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
367 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
369 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
370 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
371 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
372 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
374 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
378 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
379 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
380 value is a reference.
382 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
383 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
385 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
389 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
390 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
391 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
393 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
397 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
398 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
402 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
403 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
404 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
406 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
407 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
408 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
410 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
414 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
416 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
420 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
422 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
423 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
428 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
429 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
431 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
432 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
433 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
434 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
435 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
437 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
438 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
439 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
440 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
442 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
446 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
447 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
452 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
454 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
456 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
461 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
463 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
467 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
468 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
469 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
471 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
472 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
473 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
474 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
476 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
477 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
478 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
479 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
480 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
483 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
488 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
489 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
490 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
491 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
492 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
495 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
499 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
502 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
503 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
507 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
508 function (not just method). (doy)
512 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
513 and aren't easily installable/testable.
515 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
519 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
520 to be overridden more easily (doy).
522 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
526 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
527 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
529 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
533 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
534 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
535 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
537 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
541 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
542 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
543 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
545 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
546 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
550 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
551 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
553 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
554 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
558 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
559 is applied to a class (t0m).
561 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
562 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
564 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
567 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
568 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
570 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
571 be much more robust. (doy)
573 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
575 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
578 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
582 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
583 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
585 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
589 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
590 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
592 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
595 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
596 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
597 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
599 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
600 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
601 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
604 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
606 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
610 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
611 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
615 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
617 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
621 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
622 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
626 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
627 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
631 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
633 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
637 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
638 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
642 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
643 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
647 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
648 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
650 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
654 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
655 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
656 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
659 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
663 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
664 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
665 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
666 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
668 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
672 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
673 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
674 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
678 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
681 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
685 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
686 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
687 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
691 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
692 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
694 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
695 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
696 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
697 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
699 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
703 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
707 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
708 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
710 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
711 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
712 - Moose::Util::does_role
713 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
714 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
715 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
717 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
721 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
722 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
723 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
726 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
730 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
731 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
734 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
738 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
739 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
742 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
746 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
748 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
749 class. (Dave Rolsky).
751 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
752 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
753 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
755 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
756 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
757 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
760 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
761 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
763 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
764 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
765 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
767 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
769 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
770 substr et al, again. (sorear)
772 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
774 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
777 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
778 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
780 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
781 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
783 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
784 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
785 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
786 dependencies installed.
788 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
789 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
792 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
794 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
798 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
800 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
801 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
802 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
804 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
805 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
806 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
808 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
809 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
812 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
813 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
814 others. (nothingmuch)
816 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
817 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
818 remove_accessors. (doy)
820 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
821 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
822 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
825 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
827 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
828 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
829 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
830 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
833 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
834 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
836 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
837 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
839 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
841 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
842 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
845 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
846 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
847 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
848 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
849 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
851 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
852 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
853 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
854 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
855 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
856 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
857 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
860 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
861 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
862 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
863 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
864 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
866 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
867 which were not receiving the value of
868 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
869 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
870 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
871 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
875 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
876 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
877 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
878 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
879 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
882 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
883 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
884 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
885 - added tests for this (Stevan)
888 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
889 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
890 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
893 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
894 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
895 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
897 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
898 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
899 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
902 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
903 class if you pass it options for
904 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
905 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
906 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
907 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
908 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
909 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
910 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
911 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
912 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
914 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
915 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
916 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
917 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
918 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
921 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
922 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
923 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
924 existing delegation API. (hdp)
926 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
927 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
928 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
929 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
930 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
931 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
934 * Moose::Error::Croak
935 * Moose::Error::Confess
936 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
937 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
940 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
943 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
944 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
945 installing a broken sub. (doy)
948 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
951 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
952 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
953 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
955 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
956 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
957 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
958 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
959 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
961 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
962 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
965 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
967 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
968 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
971 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
972 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
974 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
975 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
976 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
977 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
979 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
980 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
981 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
982 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
983 using it for new code!
985 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
986 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
987 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
988 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
990 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
991 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
992 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
993 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
994 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
995 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
996 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
997 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1000 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1003 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1004 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1008 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1010 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1011 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1012 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1014 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1015 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1016 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1017 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1019 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1020 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1021 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1023 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1024 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1025 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1028 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1029 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1030 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1031 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1032 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1033 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1035 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1037 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1040 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1041 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1042 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1044 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1045 associated_methods. (hdp)
1046 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1047 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1048 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1049 misspelled) arguments
1051 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1052 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1053 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1054 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1056 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1057 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1058 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1060 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1063 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1064 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1065 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1068 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1069 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1071 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1072 * Moose::Meta::Class
1073 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1074 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1076 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1077 * Moose::Manual::Types
1078 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1079 string parsing rathole (mst)
1081 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1082 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1083 using plain objects instead
1085 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1086 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1087 that's what we need.
1089 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1090 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1091 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1092 three times today (perigrin)
1093 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1094 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1096 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1097 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1098 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1099 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1102 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1103 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1104 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1105 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1106 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1107 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1110 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1111 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1112 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1113 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1116 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1118 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1121 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1123 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1126 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1127 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1128 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1132 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1133 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1136 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1137 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1139 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1140 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1141 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1143 * Moose::Unsweetened
1144 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1146 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1147 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1150 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1154 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1155 methods during global destruction (doy)
1157 * Moose::Meta::Class
1158 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1159 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1160 consumption (Sartak)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Class
1163 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1164 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1167 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1168 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1171 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1172 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1174 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1176 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1180 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1181 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1182 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1185 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1186 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1187 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1190 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1192 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1193 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1194 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1197 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1198 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1199 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1200 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1202 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1203 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1204 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1207 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1210 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1211 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1212 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1216 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1217 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1219 * Moose::Meta::Class
1220 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1222 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1224 * Moose::Meta::Class
1225 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1226 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1229 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1230 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1233 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1234 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1237 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1240 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1242 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1243 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1246 * Moose::Meta::Class
1247 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1249 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1250 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1253 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1254 * More deprecations and renamings
1255 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1256 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1257 when an object is constructed)
1260 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1261 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1262 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1264 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1265 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1266 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1267 feature, and it works again.
1270 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1272 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1274 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1275 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1276 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1278 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1279 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1280 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1281 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1282 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1284 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1285 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1286 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1287 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1288 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1291 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1292 metaclass object. (hdp)
1294 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1295 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1296 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1297 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1298 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1299 point out this fact. (hdp)
1301 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1302 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1304 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1305 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1307 * Moose::Meta::Class
1308 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1309 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1310 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1311 called during instance construction were passed the
1312 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1313 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1315 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1316 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1319 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1320 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1321 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1324 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1325 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1326 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1327 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1328 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1330 - Moose::Meta::Class
1331 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1333 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1334 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1335 when an object is constructed)
1336 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1338 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1339 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1340 when an object is constructed)
1341 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1342 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1343 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1346 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1348 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1349 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1351 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1353 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1354 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1355 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1357 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1358 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1359 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1361 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1363 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1364 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1366 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1367 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1370 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1371 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1374 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1375 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1376 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1378 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1379 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1383 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1384 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1385 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1387 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1388 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1391 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1392 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1393 with recommended workarounds.
1395 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1396 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1398 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1399 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1400 (yes, spelled like that).
1402 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1403 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1405 * Moose::Meta::Class
1406 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1407 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1409 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1411 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1412 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1413 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1414 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1415 instead. Reported by doy.
1417 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1419 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1420 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1422 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1423 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1424 message) is now deprecated.
1425 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1426 often got it wrong. For example:
1428 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1430 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1434 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1435 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1436 bite you in weird cases.
1438 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1439 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1440 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1441 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1443 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1444 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1448 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1451 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1452 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1455 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1456 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1458 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1459 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1462 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1463 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1464 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1465 - added tests for this (stevan)
1467 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1468 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1469 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1470 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1474 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1475 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1476 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1477 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1479 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1480 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1481 - added tests for this (rafl)
1483 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1484 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1485 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1486 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1490 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1491 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1494 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1495 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1496 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1498 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1500 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1501 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1503 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1504 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1505 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1506 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1507 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1509 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1510 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1511 error message did not specify the attribute name
1514 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1516 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1518 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1519 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1520 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1522 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1523 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1526 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1528 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1529 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1530 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1531 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1533 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1535 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1536 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1537 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1538 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1540 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1541 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1542 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1544 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1545 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1546 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1547 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1548 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1550 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1551 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1552 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1553 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1554 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1556 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1557 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1558 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1559 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1560 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1561 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1563 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1564 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1565 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1566 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1567 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1568 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1570 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1571 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1573 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1574 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1575 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1576 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1578 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1579 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1582 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1586 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1587 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1589 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1590 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1591 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1592 guts. (nothingmuch).
1594 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1595 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1596 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1598 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1599 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1600 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1601 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1603 * Moose::Meta::Class
1604 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1607 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1608 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1610 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1611 * Moose::Unsweetened
1612 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1615 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1616 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1617 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1618 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1619 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1620 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1622 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1623 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1624 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1625 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1626 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1627 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1628 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1629 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1630 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1631 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1633 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1635 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1636 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1638 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1639 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1640 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1641 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1643 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1644 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1645 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1646 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1647 same methods for a single role did not work
1648 right (worked just fine with multiple
1650 - added test for this (stevan)
1652 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1653 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1654 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1657 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1658 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1659 - added test for this (t0m)
1662 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1663 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1664 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1667 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1668 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1669 - added test for this (t0m)
1671 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1672 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1673 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1674 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1675 - added test for this (perigrin)
1678 - create method for constructing a role
1679 dynamically (Sartak)
1680 - added test for this (Sartak)
1681 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1682 - added test for this (Sartak)
1685 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1687 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1688 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1689 methods is useful (Sartak)
1691 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1692 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1693 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1696 * Moose::Meta::Class
1697 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1698 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1699 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1700 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1701 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1702 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1705 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1706 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1708 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1709 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1710 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1711 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1712 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1714 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1716 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1717 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1718 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1721 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1722 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1723 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1724 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1725 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1726 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1729 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1730 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1731 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1732 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1733 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1734 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1735 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1736 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1737 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1738 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1739 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1741 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1742 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1745 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1746 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1747 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1748 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1749 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1751 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1753 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1754 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1755 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1757 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1758 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1760 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1761 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1762 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1763 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1766 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1767 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1769 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1771 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1772 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1774 * Moose::Meta::Class
1775 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1776 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1777 a required attribute
1779 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1780 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1781 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1782 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1784 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1785 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1787 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1788 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1789 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1790 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1791 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1792 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1793 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1794 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1796 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1797 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1798 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1800 * Roles and role application
1801 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1802 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1803 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1804 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1805 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1807 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1808 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1811 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1812 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1813 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1814 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1815 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
1818 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
1819 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
1820 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
1821 changes in the Moose internals.
1823 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1824 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1825 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
1828 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1829 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
1830 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
1831 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
1833 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1834 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
1835 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
1836 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
1838 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1839 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
1840 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
1841 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
1842 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
1843 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
1844 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
1845 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
1846 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
1847 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
1848 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
1849 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
1850 constraint implementations.
1852 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
1856 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
1857 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
1858 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
1859 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
1860 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
1861 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
1862 - added tests for this (rafl)
1864 * Moose::Meta::Class
1865 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
1866 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
1867 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
1868 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
1869 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
1870 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
1871 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
1872 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
1875 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
1876 - added tests for this (thepler)
1878 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1879 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
1880 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
1881 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
1884 * Moose::Meta::Class
1885 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1886 * Moose::Meta::Method
1889 * Moose::Error::Default
1890 * Moose::Error::Croak
1891 * Moose::Error::Confess
1892 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
1893 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
1894 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
1895 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
1896 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
1897 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
1899 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
1901 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
1902 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)
1904 * Moose::Unsweetened
1905 - Shows examples of two classes, each done first with and then
1906 without Moose. This makes a nice parallel to
1907 Moose::Intro. (Dave Rolsky)
1909 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1910 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
1911 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
1912 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)
1913 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1916 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
1917 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)
1919 0.56 Mon September 1, 2008
1920 For those not following the series of dev releases, there are
1921 several major changes in this release of Moose.
1922 ! Moose::init_meta should now be called as a method. See the
1925 - Major performance improvements by nothingmuch.
1927 - New modules for extension writers, Moose::Exporter and
1928 Moose::Util::MetaRole by Dave Rolsky.
1930 - Lots of doc improvements and additions, especially in the
1933 - Various bug fixes.
1935 * Removed all references to the experimental-but-no-longer-needed
1936 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToMetaclassInstance.
1938 * Require Class::MOP 0.65.
1940 0.55_04 Sat August 30, 2008
1941 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1942 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1943 - This simplifies the application of roles to any meta class, as
1944 well as the base object class. Reimplemented metaclass traits
1945 using this module. (Dave Rolsky)
1947 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1948 - This a new recipe, an overview of various ways to write Moose
1949 extensions (Dave Rolsky)
1951 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1952 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1953 - These used to be Extending::Recipe1 and Extending::Recipe2,
1956 0.55_03 Fri August 29, 2008
1957 * No changes from 0.55_02 except increasing the Class::MOP
1958 dependency to 0.64_07.
1960 0.55_02 Fri August 29, 2008
1961 * Makefile.PL and Moose.pm
1962 - explicitly require Perl 5.8.0+ (Dave Rolsky)
1964 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1965 - Fix warnings from find_type_constraint if the type is not
1968 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1969 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
1970 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
1971 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
1972 coincidental exception. (t0m).
1973 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1975 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1976 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
1978 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
1980 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1981 - Added a faq entry on the difference between "role" and "trait"
1985 - Fixed a bug that caused role composition to not see a required
1986 method when that method was provided by another role being
1987 composed at the same time. (Dave Rolsky)
1988 - test and bug finding (tokuhirom)
1990 0.55_01 Wed August 20, 2008
1992 !! Calling Moose::init_meta as a function is now !!
1993 !! deprecated. Please see the Moose.pm docs for details. !!
1995 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1996 - Fix inlined constructor so that values produced by default
1997 or builder methods are coerced as required. (t0m)
1998 - added test for this (t0m)
2000 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2001 - A lazy attribute with a default or builder did not attempt to
2002 coerce the default value. The immutable code _did_
2004 - added test for this (t0m)
2007 - This is a new helper module for writing "Moose-alike"
2008 modules. This should make the lives of MooseX module authors
2009 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2012 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2013 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2015 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'
2017 This should make writing small Moose extensions a little
2018 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2020 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2021 - Removed any examples of direct hashref access, and applied an
2022 editorial axe to reduce verbosity. (Dave Rolsky)
2024 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1
2025 - Also applied an editorial axe here. (Dave Rolsky)
2028 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
2029 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
2030 - Rewrote extending and embedding moose documentation and
2031 recipes to use Moose::Exporter (Dave Rolsky)
2035 - These two modules now warn when you load them from the main
2036 package "main" package, because we will not export sugar to
2037 main. Previously it just did nothing. (Dave Rolsky)
2040 - Now provide an init_meta method just like Moose.pm, and you
2041 can call this to provide an alternate role metaclass. (Dave
2042 Rolsky and nothingmuch)
2043 - get_method_map now respects the package cache flag (nothingmuch)
2046 - Two new methods - add_method and wrap_method_body
2050 - Optimizations including allowing constructors to accept hash
2051 refs, making many more classes immutable, and making

2093 Rolsky, Paul Fenwick)
2095 0.54 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2096 ... this is not my day today ...
2098 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2099 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that
2100 clone_and_inherit options still works for
2101 Class::MOP::Attribute objects and therefore
2102 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2105 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2106 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2107 actually releasing the module. No actual changes
2108 in this release, except the fact that it includes
2109 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2112 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2114 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2115 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2147 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2148 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2149 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2150 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2151 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2152 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2153 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2154 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2155 - added tests for this
2157 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2158 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to

2233 0.47 Thurs. May 29, 2008
2234 (late night release engineering)--

2265 0.45 Saturday, May 24, 2008
2267 - Because of work in Class::MOP 0.57, all
2268 XS based functionality is now optional
2269 and a Pure Perl version is supplied
2270 - the CLASS_MOP_NO_XS environment variable
2271 can now be used to force non-XS versions

2743 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2746 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2747 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2748 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2749 &add_type_coercions methods to support the
2750 new features above (although you cannot add
2751 more type coercions for Union types)
2753 0.31 Mon. Nov. 26, 2007
2754 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2755 - made the +attr syntax handle extending types with
2756 parameters. So "has '+foo' => (isa => 'ArrayRef[Int]')"
2757 now works if the original foo is an ArrayRef.
2758 - added tests for this.
2759 - delegation now works even if the attribute does not
2760 have a reader method using the get_read_method_ref
2761 method from Class::MOP::Attribute.
2762 - added tests for this
2763 - added docs for this
2765 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2766 - passing no "additional attribute info" to
2767 &find_or_create_type_constraint will no longer
2768 attempt to create an __ANON__ type for you,
2769 instead it will just return undef.
2770 - added docs for this
2772 0.30 Fri. Nov. 23, 2007
2773 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2774 -builder related bug in inlined constructor. (groditi)

2778 code generation for runtime speed (groditi)
2780 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2781 - fix ClassName constraint to introspect symbol table (mst)
2782 - added more tests for this (mst)
2783 - fixed it so that subtype 'Foo' => as 'HashRef[Int]' ...
2784 with work correctly.
2785 - added tests for this
2788 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2789 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code
2792 - New tests for builder bug. Upon instantiation, if an
2793 attribute had a builder, no value and was not lazy the
2794 builder default was not getting run, oops. (groditi)
2796 0.29 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2797 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2798 - Fix error message on missing builder method (groditi)

2805 builder method is missing (groditi)
2807 0.28 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2808 - 0.27 packaged incorrectly (groditi)
2810 0.27 Tues. Nov. 13, 2007
2811 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2812 - Added support for the new builder option (groditi)

2822 - Added support for lazy_build option (groditi)
2825 - tests for builder and lazy_build (groditi)
2827 * fixing some misc. bits in the docs that
2828 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
2831 - fixed how required methods are handled
2832 when they encounter overriden or modified
2833 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
2834 - added tests for this
2836 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
2837 - fixed the type notation parser so that
2838 the | always creates a union and so is
2839 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
2840 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
2842 - added more tests for this
2844 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
2847 * Parameterized Types
2848 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
2849 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
2850 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
2851 They can also be nested:
2852 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
2853 And work with the type unions as well:
2854 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
2856 * Better Framework Extendability
2857 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
2858 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
2859 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
2860 section of the Moose.pm docs.
2863 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
2864 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
2865 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
2866 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
2869 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
2871 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
2872 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)
2875 - added all the meta classes to the immutable list and

2906 - these are bits of documentation, not quite as big as
2907 Recipes but which have no clear place in the module docs.
2908 So they are Snacks! (horray for castaway++)
2910 * Moose::Cookbook::Recipe4
2911 - updated it to use the new ArrayRef[MyType] construct
2912 - updated the accompanying test as well
2914 +++ Major Refactor of the Type Constraint system +++
2915 +++ with new features added as well +++
2917 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint

2921 - added more sophisticated type notation parsing
2923 - added tests for this
2925 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint

2931 - this is now been refactored to be a subclass of
2932 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
2934 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2935 - this has been added to service the newly refactored
2936 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union and is itself
2937 a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion

2951 (thanks to shlomif).
2953 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2954 - required attributes now will no longer accept undef
2955 from the constructor, even if there is a default and lazy
2956 - added tests for this
2957 - default subroutines must return a value which passes the
2959 - added tests for this
2961 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2962 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor

2992 - This contains Moose specific test functions
2993 - added tests for these
2995 0.24 Tues. July 3, 2007
2996 ~ Some doc updates/cleanup ~
2998 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2999 - added support for roles to be given as parameters
3000 to the 'handles' option.
3001 - added tests and docs for this

3004 (but not changing the handles option)
3005 - added tests and docs for this
3008 - required methods are now fetched using find_method_by_name
3009 so that required methods can come from superclasses
3010 - adjusted tests for this
3012 0.23 Mon. June 18, 2007
3013 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
3014 - fix inlined constructor for hierarchy with multiple BUILD methods (mst)

3020 the other side (perigrin)
3022 0.22 Thurs. May 31, 2007
3023 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3024 - fix for prototype undeclared issue when Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3025 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3026 prototypes for functions
3027 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3028 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3038 - fix reader presedence bug in Moose::Meta::Attribute + tests
3041 - Foo->new(undef) now gets ignored, it is assumed you meant to pass
3042 a HASH-ref and missed. This produces better error messages then
3043 having it die cause undef is not a HASH.
3044 - added tests for this
3046 0.21 Thursday, May 2nd, 2007
3048 - added SUPER_SLOT and INNER_SLOT class hashes to support unimport

3061 where not handled correctly in roles
3062 - added tests for this
3064 * Moose::Meta::Class
3065 - fixed issue where extending metaclasses with
3066 roles would blow up. Thanks to Aankhen`` for
3067 finding this insidious error, and it's solution.
3069 ~~ lots of spelling and grammer fixes in the docs,
3070 many many thanks to rlb3 and Aankhen for these :)
3072 0.20 Friday, April 6th, 2007
3073 >> I messed up the SKIP logic in one test
3074 so this release is just to fix that.
3077 - 'has' now also accepts an ARRAY ref
3078 to create multiple attrs (see docs)
3079 (thanks to konobi for this)
3080 - added tests and docs
3082 0.19 Thurs. April 5th, 2007
3083 ~~ More documentation updates ~~
3085 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3086 - 'type' now supports messages as well
3087 thanks to phaylon for finding this
3088 - added tests for this
3089 - added &list_all_type_constraints and
3090 &list_all_builtin_type_constraints
3091 functions to facilitate introspection.
3093 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3094 - fixed regexp 'handles' declarations
3095 to build the list of delegated methods
3096 correctly (and not override important
3097 things like &new) thanks to ashleyb
3099 - added tests and docs for this
3100 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3101 so that you can actually document your
3102 attributes and inspect them through the
3104 - added tests and docs for this
3106 * Moose::Meta::Class
3107 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3108 it will first look in for the class in the
3109 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3110 then default to just loading $name.
3111 - added tests and docs for this
3113 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3114 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3115 - added test for this
3118 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh
3119 - added stricter test skip logic in the Moose POOP
3120 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3121 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3123 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3124 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3127 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3129 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3130 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3131 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3134 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3135 !! for this developer release to work !!
3137 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3138 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3139 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3140 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3141 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3142 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3143 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3144 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3145 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3146 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3147 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3149 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3150 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3151 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3152 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3155 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3156 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3157 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3158 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3159 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3161 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3163 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3164 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3167 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3168 called unless they actually need to be.
3169 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3170 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3171 DEMOLISH method present.
3173 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3174 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3175 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3176 type constraint, which allows for a
3177 hand optimized version of the type
3178 constraint to be used when possible.
3179 - Any internally created type constraints
3180 now provide an optimized version as well.
3182 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3184 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3185 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3186 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3188 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3189 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3190 your class namespace of these exported
3193 * Moose::Meta::Class
3194 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3195 comes up during global destruction
3197 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3201 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3204 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3205 - changed how we do type checks so that
3206 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3209 - moved accessor generation methods to
3210 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3211 conform to the API changes from
3214 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3215 - changed how constraints are compiled
3216 so that we do less recursion and more
3217 iteration. This makes the type check
3219 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3222 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3223 - created this from methods formerly found in
3224 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3226 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3227 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3229 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3230 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3232 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3233 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3235 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3237 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3238 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3239 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3240 - added tests for this
3241 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3242 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3243 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3244 - removed tests for this
3246 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3248 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3249 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3250 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3253 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3254 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3255 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3257 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3258 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3259 comments for more info.
3262 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3263 asked questions and common problems
3265 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3266 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3267 - added tests for this
3269 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3270 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3271 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3272 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3274 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3275 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3278 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3279 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3280 is much appreciated :)
3281 - added tests for this
3283 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3284 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3285 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3288 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3289 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3291 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3293 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3294 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3298 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3299 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3300 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3302 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3304 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3307 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3308 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3309 keywords because we need to localize them.
3310 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3312 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3313 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3314 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3317 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3320 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3321 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3322 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3325 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3326 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3327 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3329 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3331 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3332 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3333 bottom of your class file.
3336 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3339 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3341 - improved error message when loading modules so
3342 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3343 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3344 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3347 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3348 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3349 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)
3351 0.09_03 Fri. June 23, 2006
3352 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3354 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3355 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3356 turn them on for you.
3357 - added tests for this
3358 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3359 in Moose::Meta::Class
3362 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3363 automatically turned on for you.

3367 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3368 - added tests for this
3369 - added some more edge case tests

3382 - cleaned up prototypes for the subs
3385 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3386 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3387 - This release works in combination with
3388 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3389 release because it uses the a new
3390 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3391 complete Role implementation. It has
3392 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3393 the the previous CPAN version. This
3394 release also lacks good updated docs,
3395 the official release will have updated docs.
3398 - refactored the keyword exports
3399 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3400 accepts more than one Role at a time
3401 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3402 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3405 - refactored the keyword exports
3406 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3407 accepts more than one Role at a time
3409 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3410 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3411 string enumerations which can be used as
3413 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3416 - more careful checking of params to new()
3419 - much work done on the role composition
3420 - many new tests for conflict detection
3421 and composition edge cases
3422 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3423 looking at the tests
3425 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3426 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3427 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3429 * Moose::Meta::Class
3430 - some small changes to support the new
3432 - some small additions to support Roles
3434 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3435 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3437 - some small changes to support the new
3439 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3440 with the 'handles' option
3441 - added several tests for this
3442 - no docs for this yet
3444 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3446 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3447 thanks to chansen for this commit
3448 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3449 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3450 on a per-attribute basis
3451 - added tests for this
3452 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3453 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3454 experimental feature and probably not finished
3455 see t/038_attribute_inherited_slot_specs.t for
3456 more details, or ask about it on #moose
