1 Also see Moose::Manual::Delta for more details of, and workarounds
2 for, noteworthy changes.
8 * Validating duck_type type constraint turned out to work only by accident,
9 and only when not running under the debugger. This has been fixed.
14 * The optimize_as option for type constraints has been deprecated. Use the
15 inline_as option to provide inlining code instead. (Dave Rolsky)
17 2.0202 Tue, Jul 26, 2011
21 * Be more consistent about how type constraint messages are handled.
23 2.0201 Fri, Jul 22, 2011
27 * Moose::Util::does_role shouldn't call ->does on things that don't inherit
30 * Make ->does initialize the metaclass, so that calling it as a class method
31 on a class which sets up inheritance via some method other than extends
32 works properly (this fixes an issue with MooseX::Types).
34 * Make Dist::CheckConflicts a runtime requirement, so moose-outdated always
37 2.0200 Mon, Jul 18, 2011
41 * No changes from 2.0105 (other than a few minor documentation tweaks).
43 2.0105-TRIAL Mon, Jun 27, 2011
47 * Moose::Util::does_role now respects overridden ->does methods. (doy)
49 2.0104-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
53 * Include changes from 2.0010.
55 2.0103-TRIAL Mon, Jun 20, 2011
59 * Several things that have been deprecated for a while have been removed. See
60 the 2.0000 section in Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
64 * New Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::union function for creating union type
65 constraints without having to rely on the string type constraint parsing.
66 This also allows for creating unions of anonymous type constraints.
71 * Include changes from Moose 2.0009.
73 2.0102-TRIAL Sat, Jun 18, 2011
77 * The native Array trait now has a 'first_index' method, which works just
78 like the version in List::MoreUtils. (Karen Etheridge)
80 * Clean up some internal code to help out extensions.
84 * Include changes from Moose 2.0008.
86 2.0101-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
90 * Various packaging issues.
92 2.0100-TRIAL Mon, Jun 06, 2011
96 * Using a hand-optimized type constraint is now deprecated. In keeping with
97 our release policy, this won't actually start warning until the 2.0200
102 * Type constraints can now provide inlined versions, which should make
103 inlined code which uses type constraints (such as accessors) faster. This
104 replaces the existing hand-optimized constraint feature. (Dave Rolsky)
108 * Remove a lot of cases where generated methods closed over meta objects.
109 Most simple cases should now only close over simple data types and
110 coderefs. This should make deparsing simpler.
112 2.0010 Mon, Jun 20, 2011
116 * Fix regression in 2.0009 and 2.0103 when applying roles during init_meta in
117 an exporter that also re-exports Moose or Moose::Role. (t0m, ilmari)
119 2.0009 Sun, Jun 19, 2011
123 * duck_type type constraints now report reasonable errors when given
124 something which isn't an instance of an object. (t0m)
126 * Moose::Util::apply_all_roles now works even if the applicant is a non-Moose
129 * When an object is reblessed, triggers are called on attributes that are
130 set during the reblessing. (Karen Etheridge).
134 * Better error message if Moose->init_meta is called with a 'metaclass'
135 option when that metaclass hasn't been loaded. (jasonmay)
137 2.0008 Thu, Jun 16, 2011
141 * The 'accessor' native delegation for hashrefs now allows setting the value
142 to undef. (sugoik, doy)
146 * Various generated methods have more useful context information. (doy)
148 2.0007 Sun, May 15, 2011
152 * Make sure weak attributes remain weak when cloning. (doy, rafl)
154 2.0006 Mon, May 09, 2011
158 * Revert the List::MoreUtils version bump, as it breaks backwards
159 compatibility. The dependency will be bumped with Moose 2.0200.
161 2.0005 Mon, May 09, 2011
165 * Only sort the alias keys when determining caching.
167 2.0004 Mon, May 09, 2011
171 * Bump the List::MoreUtils dep to avoid buggy behavior in old versions.
173 * Sort the list of roles and the alias and excludes parameters when
174 determining caching, since their order doesn't matter.
176 2.0003 Mon, May 09, 2011
180 * Applying multiple role objects (rather than role names) at once no longer
181 skips every other role. (rjbs)
183 * Caching of anon classes now works more sanely in the presence of role
184 application parameters - alias and excludes options are taken into account,
185 and caching is disabled entirely if other parameters exist. Asking for
186 caching (instead of just not weakening) when parameters are given will
187 begin warning in Moose 2.0200. (doy, autarch)
189 2.0002 Thu, Apr 28, 2011
193 * Provide definition context information for constructors and destructors, so
194 that they will show up as something other than "generated method (unknown
195 origin)". Also, add the package that accessors are defined in to their
198 * Use Devel::PartialDump in type constraint error messages, if it is
203 * Stop hiding warnings produced by throwing errors in DEMOLISH methods.
205 * The 'reset' native delegation for Counter attributes will now also respect
206 builders (previously, it only respected defaults).
208 2.0001 Fri, Apr 22, 2011
212 * Anonymous classes and roles now have a unified implementation in
213 Class::MOP::Package. This means that anonymous packages are now also
214 possible. (Shawn M Moore, doy)
218 * No longer call XSLoader from multiple places, as this causes issues on
219 older perls. (doy, ribasushi)
221 * Moose::Meta::Role->create now accepts the 'roles' parameter, as it was
222 documented to. (Chris Weyl)
224 * Depend on Eval::Closure 0.04, which fixes some issues in mod_perl
225 environments. (doy, mateu)
227 2.0000 Mon, Apr 11, 2011
231 * The RegexpRef type constraint now accepts regular expressions blessed into
232 other classes, such as those found in pluggable regexp engines.
233 Additionally the 'Object' constraint no longer rejects objects implemented
234 as a blessed regular expression. (David Leadbeater)
238 * Moose::Manual::Support now explicitly states when major releases are
239 allowed to happen (January, April, July, or October).
241 1.9906-TRIAL Mon, Apr 04, 2011
245 * Update conflicts list.
248 1.9905-TRIAL Mon, Mar 28, 2011
252 * The Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute class now has an original_role method
253 which returns the role which first defined an attribute. See the docs for
254 details. (Dave Rolsky)
256 * Moose::Util::MetaRole will make sure that the class to which you're
257 applying metaroles or base class roles can actually have them applied. If
258 not (it's not a Moose class, it has a non-Moose metaclass, etc.), then it
259 gives a useful error message. Previously, this would just end up dying in
260 the MetaRole code without a useful message. (Dave Rolsky)
264 * When a role had its own applied_attribute metaclass (usually from MetaRole
265 application), that metaclass would get lost when that role participated in
266 role composition. It was also lost if that role was consumed by some other
267 role. Both of these cases have been fixed. Attributes are always applied
268 with the applied_attribute metaclass of the role which originally defined
271 1.9904-TRIAL Fri, Mar 04, 2011
275 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
276 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy)
278 * The Int type constraint now rejects integers with trailing newlines.
281 1.9903-TRIAL Mon, Feb 28, 2011
285 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
286 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
287 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
288 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin)
290 * Don't initialize lazy attributes with defaults in the constructor (for
291 immutable classes). (mo)
293 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
294 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
295 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky)
297 1.9902-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
301 * Fix generation of CCFLAGS.
303 * Add a bit more Dist::Zilla functionality.
305 1.9901-TRIAL Mon, Jan 03, 2011
309 * Fix some indexing issues.
311 * Fix a few issues with the conflict checking stuff.
313 1.9900-TRIAL Sat, Jan 01, 2011
317 * The entire Class::MOP distribution has been merged with Moose. In the
318 future, the Class::MOP code itself will be merged into Moose, and
319 eventually the Class::MOP namespace will disappear entirely. For the
320 current release, we have simply changed how Class::MOP is
321 distributed. (Dave Rolsky).
323 * Switched to Dist::Zilla for development. However, we still have a minimal
324 Makefile.PL in the repository that can be used for development. (Dave
329 * Roles now have their own default attribute metaclass to use during
330 application to a class, rather than just using the class's
331 attribute_metaclass. This is also overridable via ::MetaRole, with the
332 applied_attribute key in the role_metaroles hashref (doy).
334 * The internal code used to generate inlined methods (accessor, constructor,
335 etc.) has been massively rewritten. MooseX modules that do inlining will
336 almost certainly need to be updated as well.
340 * We now load the roles needed for native delegations only as needed. This
341 speeds up the compilation time for Moose itself. (doy)
344 1.25 Fri, Apr 1, 2011
348 * Reinitializing anonymous roles used to accidentally clear out the role's
349 stash in some circumstances. This is now fixed. (doy) (backported from
353 1.24 Tue, Feb 24, 2011
357 * Reverse the order that Moose::Exporter 'also' exports are dispatched. When
358 trying to re-export from a package that itself exported a modified set of
359 Moose sugar, you'd get the original Moose sugar instead of the overrides.
360 There are also now tests for this. (perigrin) (backported from 1.9903)
363 1.23 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
367 * The 1.22 release had a bad MANIFEST. This has been fixed.
370 1.22 Sun, Feb 13, 2011
374 * When reinitializing meta objects for classes and roles, we failed to
375 preserve roles and role applications. This led to weird bugs. Many MooseX
376 modules end up reinitializing your class or role. (Dave Rolsky) (backported
379 1.21 Wed, Nov 24, 2010
383 * The Support manual has been updated to reflect our new major/minor version
384 policy. (Chris Prather)
386 * The Contributing manual has been updated to reflect workflow changes based
387 on this new support policy. (doy)
391 * The role attribute metaclass did not inherit from Class::MOP::Object,
392 which could cause errors when trying to resolve metaclass compatibility
393 issues. Reported by Daniel Ruoso. (doy)
395 * The lazy_build feature was accidentally removed from all the docs. Now
396 it's listed in Moose.pm again. (Chris Prather)
398 1.20 Fri, Nov 19, 2010
402 * When using native delegations, if an array or hash ref member failed a
403 type constraint check, Moose ended up erroring out with "Can't call method
404 "get_message" on unblessed reference" instead of generating a useful error
405 based on the failed type constraint. Reported by t0m. RT #63113. (Dave
408 1.19 Tue, Nov 2, 2010
412 * There was still one place in the code trying to load Test::Exception
413 instead of Test::Fatal. (Karen Etheridge)
416 1.18 Sun, Oct 31, 2010
420 * Type constraint objects now have an assert_coerce method which will either
421 return a valid value or throw an error. (rjbs)
423 * We now warn when an accessor for one attribute overwrites an accessor for
424 another attribute. RT #57510. (Dave Rolsky)
428 * The native Array and Hash delegation methods now coerce individual new
429 members if the _member type_ has a coercion. In other words, if the array
430 reference is defined as an ArrayRef[DateTime], and you've defined a
431 coercion from Int to DateTime, then pushing an integer via a delegation
432 method will coerce the integer to a DateTime object. Reported by Karen
433 Etheridge. RT #62351. (Dave Rolsky)
435 * An attribute using native delegations did not always properly coerce and
436 type check a lazily set default value. (doy and Dave Rolsky)
438 * Using a regexp to define delegations for a class which was not yet loaded
439 did not actually work, but did not explicitly fail. However, it caused an
440 error when the class was loaded later. Reported by Max Kanat-Alexander. RT
441 #60596. (Dave Rolsky)
443 * Attempting to delegate to a class or role which is not yet loaded will now
444 throw an explicit error. (Dave Rolsky)
446 * Attempting to set lazy_build in an inherited attribute was ignored. RT
451 * The Moose test suite now uses Test::Fatal instead of
452 Test::Exception. (rjbs)
454 1.17 Tue, Oct 19, 2010
458 * Make native delegation inlining work with instance metaclasses where slot
459 access is an do {} block, like Kioku. This fixes the use of native
460 delegations together with Kioku. (Scott, doy)
462 1.16 Mon, Oct 18, 2010
466 * Almost every native delegation method which changes the attribute value
467 now has an explicitly documented return value. In general, this return
468 value matches what Perl would return for the same operation. (Dave Rolsky)
470 * Lots of work on native delegation documentation, including documenting
471 what arguments each native delegation method allows or requires. (Dave
474 * Passing an odd number of args to ->new() now gives a more useful warning
475 than Perl's builtin warning. Suggested by Sir Robert Burbridge. (Dave
478 * Allow disabling stack traces by setting an environment variable. See
479 Moose::Error::Default for details. This feature is considered
480 experimental, and may change in a future release. (Marcus Ramberg)
482 * The deprecation warning for using alias and excludes without a leading
483 dash now tells you the role being applied and what it was being applied
488 * A number of native trait methods which expected strings as arguments did
489 not allow the empty string. This included Array->join, String->match,
490 String->replace, and String->substr. Reported by Whitney Jackson. RT
491 #61962. (Dave Rolsky)
493 * 'no Moose' no longer inadvertently removes imports it didn't create
494 itself. RT #60013. (Florian Ragwitz, doy)
496 * Roles now support passing an array reference of method names to method
497 modifier sugar functions. (doy)
499 * Native traits no longer use optimized inlining routines if the instance
500 requests it (in particular, if inline_get_slot_value doesn't return
501 something that can be assigned to). This should fix issues with
502 KiokuDB::Class. (doy)
504 * We now ignore all Class::MOP and Moose classes when determining what
505 package called a deprecated feature. This should make the deprecation
506 warnings saner, and make it possible to turn them off more easily. (Dave
509 * The deprecated "default is" warning no longer happens if the attribute has
510 any accessor method defined (accessor, reader, writer). Also, this warning
511 only happens when a method that was generated because of the "default is"
512 gets called, rather than when the attribute is defined. (Dave Rolsky)
514 * The "default default" code for some native delegations no longer issues a
515 deprecation warning when the attribute is required or has a builder. (Dave
518 * Setting a "default default" caused a fatal error if you used the builder
519 or lazy_build options for the attribute. Reported by Kent Fredric. RT
520 #59613. (Dave Rolsky)
522 1.15 Tue, Oct 5, 2010
526 * Major changes to Native Traits, most of which make them act more like
527 "normal" attributes. This should be mostly compatible with existing code,
528 but see Moose::Manual::Delta for details.
530 * A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is"
531 and "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide
532 these values is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating
535 * New option 'trait_aliases' for Moose::Exporter, which will allow you to
536 generate non-global aliases for your traits (and allow your users to
537 rename the aliases, etc). (doy)
539 * 'use Moose' and 'use Moose::Role' now accept a '-meta_name' option, to
540 determine which name to install the 'meta' name under. Passing 'undef'
541 to this option will suppress generation of the meta method entirely. (doy)
543 * Moose now warns if it overwrites an existing method named "meta" in your
544 class when you "use Moose". (doy)
548 * Native Trait delegations are now all generated as inline code. This should
549 be much faster than the previous method of delegation. In the best case,
550 native trait methods will be very highly optimized.
552 * Reinitializing a metaclass no longer removes the existing method and
553 attribute objects (it instead fixes them so they are correct for the
554 reinitialized metaclass). This should make the order of loading many
555 MooseX modules less of an issue. (doy)
557 * The Moose::Manual docs have been revised and updated. (Dave Rolsky)
561 * If an attribute was weak, setting it to a non-ref value after the object
562 was constructed caused an error. Now we only call weaken when the new
563 value is a reference.
565 * t/040_type_constraints/036_match_type_operator.t failed on 5.13.5+. Fixed
566 based on a patch from Andreas Koenig.
568 1.14 Tue, Sep 21, 2010
572 * Work around what looks like a bug in List::MoreUtils::any. This bug caused
573 a weird error when defining the same union type twice, but only when using
574 MooseX::Types. Reported by Curtis Jewell. RT #61001. (Dave Rolsky)
576 1.13 Mon, Sep 13, 2010
580 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes are back, use -alias and
581 -excludes instead. (Dave Rolsky)
585 * When composing one role into another and there is an attribute conflict,
586 the error message now includes the attribute name. Reported by Sam
587 Graham. RT #59985. (Dave Rolsky)
589 * When a class is made immutable, the does_role method is overridden with a
590 much faster version that simply looks role names up in a hash. Code which
591 uses lots of role-based type constraints should be faster. (Dave Rolsky)
593 1.12 Sat, Aug 28, 2010
597 * Fix the MANIFEST. Fixes RT #60831, reported by Alberto Simões.
599 1.11 Fri, Aug 27, 2010
603 * An attribute in a subclass can now override the value of "is". (doy)
605 * The deprecation warnings for alias and excludes have been turned back off
606 for this release, to give other module authors a chance to tweak their
611 * mro::get_linear_isa was being called as a function rather than a method,
612 which caused problems with Perl 5.8.x. (t0m)
614 * Union types always created a type constraint, even if their constituent
615 constraints did not have any coercions. This bogus coercion always
616 returned undef, which meant that a union which included Undef as a member
617 always coerced bad values to undef. Reported by Eric Brine. RT
618 #58411. (Dave Rolsky)
620 * Union types with coercions would always fall back to coercing the value to
621 undef (unintentionally). Now if all the coercions for a union type fail,
622 the value returned by the coercion is the original value that we attempted
623 to coerce. (Dave Rolsky).
625 1.10 Sun, Aug 22, 2010
629 * The long-deprecated alias and excludes options for role applications now
630 issue a deprecation warning. Use -alias and -excludes instead. (Dave
635 * Inlined code no longer stringifies numeric attribute defaults. (vg, doy)
637 * default => undef now works properly. (doy)
639 * Enum type constraints now throw errors if their values are nonsensical.
644 * Optimizations that should help speed up compilation time (Dave Rolsky).
646 1.09 Tue, Jul 25, 2010
650 * You can no longer pass "coerce => 1" for an attribute unless its type
651 constraint has a coercion defined. Doing so will issue a deprecation
652 warning. (Dave Rolsky)
654 * Previously, '+foo' only allowed a specific set of options to be
655 overridden, which made it impossible to change attribute options related
656 to extensions. Now we blacklist some options, and anything else is
657 allowed. (doy, Tuomas Jormola)
659 * Most features which have been declared deprecated now issue a warning using
660 Moose::Deprecated. Warnings are issued once per calling package, not
661 repeatedly. See Moose::Deprecated for information on how you can shut
662 these warnings up entirely. Note that deprecated features will eventually
663 be removed, so shutting up the warnings may not be the best idea. (Dave
666 * Removed the long-deprecated Moose::Meta::Role->alias_method method. (Dave
671 * We no longer unimport strict and warnings when Moose, Moose::Role, or
672 Moose::Exporter are unimported. Doing this was broken if the user
673 explicitly loaded strict and warnings themself, and the results could be
674 generally surprising. We decided that it was best to err on the side of
675 safety and leave these on. Reported by David Wheeler. RT #58310. (Dave
678 * New with_traits helper function in Moose::Util. (doy)
682 * Accessors will no longer be inlined if the instance metaclass isn't
685 * Use Perl 5.10's new recursive regex features, if possible, for the type
686 constraint parser. (doy, nothingmuch)
690 * Attributes now warn if their accessors overwrite a locally defined
691 function (not just method). (doy)
695 * Bump our required perl version to 5.8.3, since earlier versions fail tests
696 and aren't easily installable/testable.
698 1.08 Tue, Jun 15, 2010
702 * Refactored a small amount of Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor to allow it
703 to be overridden more easily (doy).
705 1.07 Sat, Jun 05, 2010
709 * Fixed a minor metaclass compatibility fixing bug dealing with immutable
710 classes and non-class metaclass traits (doy, dougdude).
712 1.06 Tue, Jun 01, 2010
716 * Added '0+' overloading in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint so that we can
717 more uniformly compare type constraints between 'classic' Moose type
718 constraints and MooseX::Types based type constraints.
720 1.05 Thu, May 20, 2010
724 * Packages and modules no longer have methods - this functionality was
725 moved back up into Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role individually
726 (through the Class::MOP::Mixin::HasMethods mixin) (doy).
728 * BUILDALL is now called by Moose::Meta::Class::new_object, rather than by
729 Moose::Object::new. (doy)
733 * strict and warnings are now unimported when Moose, Moose::Role, or
734 Moose::Exporter are unimported. (doy, Adam Kennedy)
736 * Added a 'consumers' method to Moose::Meta::Role for finding all
737 classes/roles which consume the given role. (doy)
741 * Fix has '+attr' in Roles to explode immediately, rather than when the role
742 is applied to a class (t0m).
744 * Fix type constraint validation messages to not include the string 'failed'
745 twice in the same sentence (Florian Ragwitz).
747 * New type constraints will default to being unequal, rather than equal
750 * The tests no longer check for perl's behavior of clobbering $@, which has
751 been fixed in perl-5.13.1 (Florian Ragwitz).
753 * Metaclass compatibility fixing has been completely rewritten, and should
754 be much more robust. (doy)
756 1.04 Thu, May 20, 2010
758 * This release was broken and has been deleted from CPAN shortly after its
761 1.03 Thu, May 06, 2010
765 * Allow specifying required versions when setting superclasses or applying
766 roles (Florian Ragwitz).
768 1.02 Sat, May 01, 2010
772 * Stop the natatime method provided by the native Array trait from returning
773 an exhausted iterator when being called with a callback. (Florian Ragwitz)
775 * Make Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class correctly reject RegexpRefs.
778 * Calling is_subtype_of on a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class with itself or
779 the class the TC represents as an argument incorrectly returned true. This
780 behavior is correct for is_type_of, not is_subtype_of. (Guillermo Roditi)
782 * Use File::Temp for temp files created during tests. Previously, files were
783 written to the t/ dir, which could cause problems of the user running the
784 tests did not have write access to that directory.. (Chris Weyl, Ævar
787 * Pass role arguments along when applying roles to instances. (doy, lsm)
789 1.01 Fri, Mar 26, 2010
793 * The handles option now also accepts a role type constraint in addition to a
794 plain role name. (Florian Ragwitz)
798 * Record the Sartak/doy debt properly in Changes (perigrin)
800 1.00 Tue, Mar 25, 2010
804 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code no longer creates reader
805 methods by default. (Florian Ragwitz)
809 * Improve various parts of the documentation and fix many typos.
810 (Dave Rolsky, Mateu Hunter, Graham Knop, Robin V, Jay Hannah, Jesse Luehrs)
814 * Paid the $10 debt to doy from 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009 (Sartak)
816 0.99 Mon, Mar 8, 2010
820 * New method find_type_for in Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union, for finding
821 which member of the union a given value validates for. (Cory Watson)
825 * DEMOLISH methods in mutable subclasses of immutable classes are now called
826 properly (Chia-liang Kao, Jesse Luehrs)
830 * Added Moose::Manual::Support that defines the support, compatiblity, and
831 release policies for Moose. (Chris Prather)
833 0.98 Wed, Feb 10, 2010
837 * An internals change in 0.97 broke role application to an instance in some
838 cases. The bug occurred when two different roles were applied to different
839 instances of the same class. (Rafael Kitover)
842 0.97 Tue, Feb 9, 2010
846 * Calling ->reinitialize on a cached anonymous class effectively uncached
847 the metaclass object, causing the metaclass to go out of scope
848 unexpectedly. This could easily happen at a distance by applying a
849 metarole to an anonymous class. (Dave Rolsky).
851 0.96 Sat, Feb 6, 2010
855 * ScalarRef is now a parameterized type. You can now specify a type
856 constraint for whatever the reference points to. (Closes RT#50857)
857 (Michael G. Schwern, Florian Ragwitz)
861 * ScalarRef now accepts references to other references. (Closes RT#50934)
864 0.95 Thu, Feb 4, 2010
868 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code now provides execute_method as
869 a delegation option. This allows the code reference to be called as a
870 method on the object. (Florian Ragwitz)
874 * Moose::Object::does no longer checks the entire inheritance tree, since
875 Moose::Meta::Class::does_role already does this. (doy)
877 * Moose::Util::add_method_modifier (and subsequently the sugar functions
878 Moose::before, Moose::after, and Moose::around) can now accept arrayrefs,
879 with the same behavior as lists. Types other than arrayref and regexp
880 result in an error. (Dylan Hardison)
882 0.94 Mon, Jan 18, 2010
886 * Please see the changes listed for 0.93_01 and Moose::Manual::Delta.
890 * Improved support for anonymous roles by changing various APIs to take
891 Moose::Meta::Role objects as well as role names. This included
893 - Moose::Meta::Class->does_role
894 - Moose::Meta::Role->does_role
895 - Moose::Util::does_role
896 - Moose::Util::apply_all_roles
897 - Moose::Util::ensure_all_roles
898 - Moose::Util::search_class_by_role
900 Requested by Shawn Moore. Addresses RT #51143 (and then some). (Dave Rolsky)
904 * Fix handling of non-alphanumeric attributes names like '@foo'. This should
905 work as long as the accessor method names are explicitly set to valid Perl
906 method names. Reported by Doug Treder. RT #53731. (Dave Rolsky)
909 0.93_03 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
913 * Portability fixes to our XS code so we compile with 5.8.8 and Visual
914 C++. Fixes RT #53391. Reported by Taro Nishino. (rafl)
917 0.93_02 Tue, Jan 5, 2010
921 * Depend on Class::MOP 0.97_01 so we can get useful results from CPAN
922 testers. (Dave Rolsky)
925 0.93_01 Mon, Jan 4, 2010
929 See Moose::Manual::Delta for more details on backwards compatiblity issues.
931 * Role attributes are now objects of the Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute
932 class. (Dave Rolsky).
934 * There were major changes to how metaroles are applied. We now distinguish
935 between metaroles for classes vs those for roles. See the
936 Moose::Util::MetaRole docs for details. (Dave Rolsky)
938 * The old MetaRole API has been deprecated, but will continue to
939 work. However, if you are applying an attribute metaclass role, this may
940 break because of the fact that roles now have an attribute metaclass
943 * Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles is now called
944 apply_metaroles. The old name is deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
946 * The unimport subs created by Moose::Exporter now clean up re-exported
947 functions like blessed and confess, unless the caller imported them from
948 somewhere else too. See Moose::Manua::Delta for backcompat details. (rafl)
950 [ENHANCEMENTS AND BUG FIXES]
952 * Changed the Str constraint to accept magic lvalue strings like one gets from
953 substr et al, again. (sorear)
955 * Sped up the type constraint parsing regex. (Sam Vilain)
957 * The Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2 recipe was broken. Fix suggested by
960 * Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints exports when using oose.pm to allow
961 easier testing of TypeConstraints from the command line. (perigrin)
963 * Added a with_immutable test function to Test::Moose, to run a block of tests
964 with and without certain classes being immutable. (doy)
966 * We now use Module::Install extensions explicitly to avoid confusing errors
967 if they're not installed. We use Module::Install::AuthorRequires to stop
968 test extraction and general failures if you don't have the author side
969 dependencies installed.
971 * Fixed a grammar error in Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4. rt.cpan.org
972 #51791. (Amir E. Aharoni)
975 0.93 Thu, Nov 19, 2009
977 - Calling $object->new() is no longer deprecated, and no longer
981 - The get_attribute_map method is now deprecated. (Dave Rolsky)
983 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
984 - Preserve variable aliasing in @_ for delegated methods, so that
985 altering @_ affects the passed value. (doy)
987 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
988 - Allow array refs for non-anonymous form of enum and duck_type, not
989 just anonymous. The non-arrayref forms may be removed in the
991 - Changed Str constraint to not accept globs (*STDIN or *FOO). (chansen)
992 - Properly document Int being a subtype of Str. (doy)
995 - Moose::Exporter using modules can now export their functions to the
996 main package. This applied to Moose and Moose::Role, among
997 others. (nothingmuch)
999 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1000 - Don't remove attribute accessors we never installed, during
1001 remove_accessors. (doy)
1003 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1004 - Don't bypass prototype checking when calling List::Util::first, to
1005 avoid a segfault when it is called with a non-code argument. (doy)
1007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Code
1008 - Fix passing arguments to code execute helpers. (doy)
1010 0.92 Tue, Sep 22, 2009
1011 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1012 - added the match_on_type operator (Stevan)
1013 - added tests and docs for this (Stevan)
1015 * Moose::Meta::Class
1016 - Metaclass compat fixing should already happen recursively, there's no
1017 need to explicitly walk up the inheritance tree. (doy)
1019 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1020 - Add tests for set_raw_value and get_raw_value. (nothingmuch)
1022 0.91 Thu, Sep 17, 2009
1024 - Don't import any functions, in order to avoid polluting our namespace
1025 with things that can look like methods (blessed, try, etc)
1028 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1029 - The generated code needs to called Scalar::Util::blessed by its
1030 fully-qualified name or else Perl can interpret the call to blessed as
1031 an indirect method call. This broke Search::GIN, which in turn broke
1032 KiokuDB. (nothingmuch)
1034 0.90 Tue, Sep 15, 2009
1035 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Counter
1036 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::String
1037 - For these two traits, an attribute which did not explicitly provide
1038 methods to handles magically ended up delegating *all* the helper
1039 methods. This has been removed. You must be explicit in your handles
1040 declaration for all Native Traits. (Dave Rolsky)
1043 - DEMOLISHALL behavior has changed. If any DEMOLISH method dies, we make
1044 sure to rethrow its error message. However, we also localize $@ before
1045 this so that if all the DEMOLISH methods success, the value of $@ will
1046 be preserved. (nothingmuch and Dave Rolsky)
1047 - We now also localize $? during object destruction. (nothingmuch and
1049 - The handling of DEMOLISH methods was broken for immutablized classes,
1050 which were not receiving the value of
1051 Devel::GlobalDestruction::in_global_destruction.
1052 - These two fixes address some of RT #48271, reported by Zefram.
1053 - This is all now documented in Moose::Manual::Construction.
1054 - Calling $object->new() is now deprecated. A warning will be
1058 - Added more hooks to customize how roles are applied. The role
1059 summation class, used to create composite roles, can now be changed
1060 and/or have meta-roles applied to it. (rafl)
1061 - The get_method_list method no longer explicitly excludes the "meta"
1062 method. This was a hack that has been replaced by better hacks. (Dave
1065 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1066 - fixed delegated methods to make sure that any modifiers attached to
1067 the accessor being delegated on will be called (Stevan)
1068 - added tests for this (Stevan)
1070 * Moose::Meta::Class
1071 - Moose no longer warns when a class that is being made immutable has
1072 mutable ancestors. While in theory this is a good thing to warn about,
1073 we found so many exceptions to this that doing this properly became
1076 0.89_02 Thu, Sep 10, 2009
1077 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1078 - Fix Hash, which still had 'empty' instead of 'is_empty'. (hdp)
1080 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native::Trait::Array
1081 - Added a number of functions from List::Util and List::MoreUtils,
1082 including reduce, shuffle, uniq, and natatime. (doy)
1085 - This module will now generate an init_meta method for your exporting
1086 class if you pass it options for
1087 Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaclass_roles or
1088 apply_base_class_roles. This eliminates a lot of repetitive
1089 boilerplate for typical MooseX modules. (doy).
1090 - Documented the with_meta feature, which is a replacement for
1091 with_caller. This feature was added by josh a while ago.
1092 - The with_caller feature is now deprecated, but will not issue a
1093 warning yet. (Dave Rolsky)
1094 - If you try to wrap/export a subroutine which doesn't actually exist,
1095 Moose::Exporter will warn you about this. (doy)
1097 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1098 - When a role aliased a method from another role, it was only getting
1099 the new (aliased) name, not the original name. This differed from what
1100 happens when a class aliases a role's methods. If you _only_ want the
1101 aliased name, make sure to also exclue the original name. (Dave
1104 0.89_01 Wed Sep 2, 2009
1105 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1106 - Added the currying syntax for delegation from AttributeHelpers to the
1107 existing delegation API. (hdp)
1109 * Moose::Meta::Attribute::Native
1110 - We have merged the functionality of MooseX::AttributeHelpers into the
1111 Moose core with some API tweaks. You can continue to use
1112 MooseX::AttributeHelpers, but it will not be maintained except
1113 (perhaps) for critical bug fixes in the future. See
1114 Moose::Manual::Delta for details. (hdp, jhannah, rbuels, Sartak,
1117 * Moose::Error::Croak
1118 * Moose::Error::Confess
1119 - Clarify documentation on how to use different error-throwing
1120 modules. (Curtis Jewell)
1123 - Correct POD for builder to point to Recipe8, not 9. (gphat)
1126 - When a nonexistent sub name is passed to as_is, with_caller, or
1127 with_meta, throw a warning and skip the exporting, rather than
1128 installing a broken sub. (doy)
1130 * Moose::Meta::Class
1131 - Moose now warns if you call C<make_immutable> for a class with mutable
1134 0.89 Thu Aug 13, 2009
1135 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1136 - Clarify "is", include discussion of "bare". (Sartak)
1138 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1139 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1140 - For the first set of roles involved in a conflict, report all
1141 unresolved method conflicts, not just the first method. Fixes #47210
1142 reported by Ovid. (Sartak)
1144 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1145 - Add assert_valid method to use a TypeConstraint for assertion (rjbs)
1148 - Make "use Moose -metaclass => 'Foo'" do alias resolution, like -traits
1150 - Allow specifying role options (alias, excludes, MXRP stuff) in the
1151 arrayref passed to "use Moose -traits" (doy)
1154 - Add functions meta_class_alias and meta_attribute_alias for creating
1155 aliases for class and attribute metaclasses and metatraits. (doy)
1157 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1158 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1159 - A trigger now receives the old value as a second argument, if the
1160 attribute had one. (Dave Rolsky)
1162 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1163 - Fix a bug with $obj->new when $obj has stringify overloading.
1164 Reported by Andrew Suffield [rt.cpan.org #47882] (Sartak)
1165 - However, we will probably deprecate $obj->new, so please don't start
1166 using it for new code!
1168 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application
1169 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1170 - Rename alias and excludes to -alias and -excludes (but keep the old
1171 names for now, for backcompat) (doy)
1173 0.88 Fri Jul 24, 2009
1174 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1175 - Re-write the Moose::Manual::Contributing document to reflect
1176 the new layout and methods of work for the Git repository. All
1177 work now should be done in topic branches and reviewed by a
1178 core committer before being applied to master. All releases
1179 are done by a cabal member and merged from master to
1180 stable. This plan was devised by Yuval, blame him. (perigrin)
1183 - Create metaclass attributes for the different role application
1186 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1187 - Allow applying roles to a meta role's role application
1190 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1191 - Add weak_ref to allowed options for "has '+foo'" (mst)
1193 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1194 - No longer uses inline_slot_access in accessors, to support
1195 non-lvalue-based meta instances. (sorear)
1197 0.87 Tue Jul 7, 2009
1198 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1199 - Once again allow class names as well as objects for
1200 delegation. This was changed in 0.86.
1202 0.86 Fri Jul 3, 2009
1203 * Moose::Meta::Class::Immutable::Trait
1204 - Fixes to work with the latest Class::MOP.
1206 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1207 - Delegation now dies with a more useful error message if the
1208 attribute's accessor returns something defined but
1211 0.85 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1212 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1213 - The warning for 'no associated methods' is now split out into
1214 the _check_associated_methods method, so that extensions can
1215 safely call 'after install_accessors => ...'. This fixes a
1216 warning from MooseX::AttributeHelpers. (hdp)
1218 0.84 Fri, Jun 26, 2009
1220 - has now sets definition_context for attributes defined in
1223 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1224 - When adding an attribute to a metaclass, if the attribute has
1225 no associated methods, it will give a deprecation
1227 - Methods generated by delegation were not being added to
1228 associated_methods. (hdp)
1229 - Attribute accessors (reader, writer, accessor, predicate,
1230 clearer) now warn if they overwrite an existing method. (doy)
1231 - Attribute constructors now warn very noisily about unknown (or
1232 misspelled) arguments
1234 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1235 - Deprecated the totally useless Role type name, which just
1236 checked if $object->can('does'). Note that this is _not_ the
1237 same as a type created by calling role_type('RoleName').
1239 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1240 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType
1241 - Reify duck type from a regular subtype into an actual class
1243 - Document this because Sartak did all my work for me
1246 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1247 - Allow Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::DuckType in handles, since
1248 it is just a list of methods (Sartak)
1251 - The get_*_method_modifiers methods would die if the role had
1252 no modifiers of the given type (Robert Buels).
1254 0.83 Tue, Jun 23, 2009
1255 * Moose::Meta::Class
1256 - Fix _construct_instance not setting the special __MOP__ object
1257 key in instances of anon classes. (doy)
1259 0.82 Sun, Jun 21, 2009
1260 * Moose::Manual::Types
1261 - Mention MooseX::Types early to avoid users falling down the
1262 string parsing rathole (mst)
1264 * Moose::Manual::MooseX
1265 - Add warnings about class-level extensions and mention considering
1266 using plain objects instead
1268 0.81 Sun, Jun 7, 2009
1269 * Bumped our Class::MOP prereq to the latest version (0.85), since
1270 that's what we need.
1272 0.80 Sat, Jun 6, 2009
1273 * Moose::Manual::FAQ
1274 - Add FAQ about the coercion change from 0.76 because it came up
1275 three times today (perigrin)
1276 - Win doy $10 dollars because Sartak didn't think anybody
1277 would document this fast enough (perigrin)
1279 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1280 - Inline a DESTROY method even if there are no DEMOLISH methods
1281 to prevent unnecessary introspection in
1282 Moose::Object::DEMOLISHALL
1285 - A role's required methods are now represented by
1286 Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Required objects. Conflicts are now
1287 represented by Moose::Meta::Role::Method::Conflicting
1288 objects. The benefit for end-users in that unresolved
1289 conflicts generate different, more instructive, errors,
1290 resolving Ovid's #44895. (Sartak)
1293 - Improve the error message of "extends" as suggested by Adam
1294 Kennedy and confound (Sartak)
1295 - Link to Moose::Manual::Roles from Moose::Role as we now have
1296 excellent documentation (Adam Kennedy)
1299 - Update test suite for subname change in Class::MOP
1301 - Add TODO test for infinite recursion in Moose::Meta::Class
1304 0.79 Wed, May 13, 2009
1306 - More fixes for Win32 problems. Reported by Robert Krimen.
1309 - The DEMOLISHALL method could still blow up in some cases
1310 during global destruction. This method has been made more
1311 resilient in the face of global destruction's random garbage
1315 - If you "also" a module that isn't loaded, the error message
1316 now acknowledges that (Sartak)
1319 - When your ->meta method does not return a Moose::Meta::Class,
1320 the error message gave the wrong output (Sartak)
1322 0.78 Tue, May 12, 2009
1323 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ and Moose::Cookbook::WTF
1324 - Merged these documents into what is now Moose::Manual::FAQ
1326 * Moose::Unsweetened
1327 - Moved to Moose::Manual::Unsweetened
1329 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipes 9-12
1330 - Renamed to be 8-11, since recipe 8 did not exist
1333 - Make Moose::Exporter import strict and warnings into packages
1337 - Fix DEMOLISHALL sometimes not being able to find DEMOLISH
1338 methods during global destruction (doy)
1340 * Moose::Meta::Class
1341 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1342 - Track the Role::Application objects created during class-role
1343 consumption (Sartak)
1345 * Moose::Meta::Class
1346 - Fix metaclass incompatibility errors when extending a vanilla perl
1347 class which isa Moose class with a metaclass role applied (t0m)
1350 - Add a role-combination hook, _role_for_combination, for the
1351 benefit of MooseX::Role::Parameterized (Sartak)
1354 - Some tests were failing on Win32 because they explicit checked
1355 warning output for newlines. Reported by Nickolay Platonov.
1357 0.77 Sat, May 2, 2009
1359 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1363 - Pass a boolean to DEMOLISHALL and DEMOLISH indicating whether
1364 or not we are currently in global destruction (doy)
1365 - Add explicit use of Devel::GlobalDestruction and Sub::Name
1368 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1369 - Reworked much of the existing content to be more useful to
1370 modern Moose hackers (Sartak)
1373 - Depend on Class::MOP 0.83 instead of 0.82_01.
1375 0.76 Mon, April 27, 2009
1376 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1377 - Do not run coercions in coerce() if the value already passes the type
1380 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1381 - In validation error messages, specifically say that the value is not
1382 an instance of the class. This should alleviate some frustrating
1383 forgot-to-load-my-type bugs. rt.cpan.org #44639 (Sartak)
1385 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1386 - Revert the class-overrides-role warning in favor of a solution outside
1387 of the Moose core (Sartak)
1390 - Make Test::Output optional again, since it's only used in a few files
1393 0.75_01 Thu, April 23, 2009
1394 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1395 - Moose now warns about each class overriding methods from roles it
1399 - Warnings tests have standardized on Test::Output which is now an
1400 unconditionally dependency (Sartak)
1402 * Moose::Meta::Class
1403 - Changes to immutabilization to work with Class::MOP 0.82_01+.
1405 0.75 Mon, April 20, 2009
1407 * Moose::Meta::Class
1408 - Move validation of not inheriting from roles from Moose::extends to
1409 Moose::Meta::Class::superclasses (doy)
1412 - add ensure_all_roles() function to encapsulate the common "apply this
1413 role unless the object already does it" pattern (hdp)
1416 - Users can now select a different metaclass with the "-metaclass"
1417 option to import, for classes and roles (Sartak)
1420 - Make method_metaclass an attr so that it can accept a metarole
1423 0.74 Tue, April 7, 2009
1425 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1426 - Include stack traces in the deprecation warnings.
1429 * Moose::Meta::Class
1430 - Removed the long-deprecated _apply_all_roles method.
1432 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1433 - Removed the long-deprecated union method.
1436 0.73_02 Mon, April 6, 2009
1437 * More deprecations and renamings
1438 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1439 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1440 when an object is constructed)
1443 - The DEMOLISHALL method could throw an exception during global
1444 destruction, meaning that your class's DEMOLISH methods would
1445 not be properly called. Reported by t0m.
1447 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1448 - Destructor inlining was totally broken by the change to the
1449 is_needed method in 0.72_01. Now there is a test for this
1450 feature, and it works again.
1453 - Bold the word 'not' in the POD for find_meta (t0m)
1455 0.73_01 Sun, April 5, 2009
1457 - Call user_class->meta in fewer places, with the eventual goal
1458 of allowing the user to rename or exclude ->meta
1459 altogether. Instead uses Class::MOP::class_of. (Sartak)
1461 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1462 - If an attribute had a lazy default, and that value did not
1463 pass the attribute's type constraint, it did not get the
1464 message from the type constraint, instead using a generic
1465 message. Test provided by perigrin.
1467 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1468 - Add duck_type keyword. It's sugar over making sure an object
1469 can() a list of methods. This is easier than jrockway's
1470 suggestion to fork all of CPAN. (perigrin)
1471 - add tests and documentation (perigrin)
1474 - Document the fact that init_meta() returns the target class's
1475 metaclass object. (hdp)
1477 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe1
1478 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2
1479 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe3
1480 * Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe4
1481 - Make init_meta() examples explicitly return the metaclass and
1482 point out this fact. (hdp)
1484 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe12
1485 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1487 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe6
1488 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-method class.
1490 * Moose::Meta::Class
1491 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1492 - Attribute triggers no longer receive the meta-attribute object
1493 as an argument in any circumstance. Previously, triggers
1494 called during instance construction were passed the
1495 meta-attribute, but triggers called by normal accessors were
1496 not. Fixes RT#44429, reported by Mark Swayne. (hdp)
1498 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1499 - Remove references to triggers receving the meta-attribute object as an
1502 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ
1503 - Remove recommendation for deprecated Moose::Policy and
1504 Moose::Policy::FollowPBP; recommend MooseX::FollowPBP
1507 * Many methods have been renamed with a leading underscore, and a
1508 few have been deprecated entirely. The methods with a leading
1509 underscore are consider "internals only". People writing
1510 subclasses or extensions to Moose should feel free to override
1511 them, but they are not for "public" use.
1513 - Moose::Meta::Class
1514 - check_metaclass_compatibility => _check_metaclass_compatibility
1516 - Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1517 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1518 when an object is constructed)
1519 - /(generate_.*_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1521 - Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1522 - initialize_body => _initialize_body (this is always called
1523 when an object is constructed)
1524 - /(generate_constructor_method(?:_inline)?)/ => '_' . $1
1525 - attributes => _attributes (now inherited from parent)
1526 - meta_instance => _meta_instance (now inherited from parent)
1529 - alias_method is deprecated. Use add_method
1531 0.73 Fri, March 29, 2009
1532 * No changes from 0.72_01.
1534 0.72_01 Thu, March 26, 2009
1536 - Almost every module has complete API documentation. A few
1537 methods (and even whole classes) have been intentionally
1538 excluded pending some rethinking of their APIs.
1540 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1541 - Calling subtype with a name as the only argument is now an
1542 exception. If you want an anonymous subtype do:
1544 my $subtype = subtype as 'Foo';
1546 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe7
1547 - A new recipe, creating a custom meta-instance class.
1549 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe5
1550 - Fix various typos and mistakes. Includes a patch from Radu
1553 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe9
1554 - Link to this recipe from Moose.pm's builder blurb
1557 - When wrapping a function with a prototype, Moose::Exporter now
1558 makes sure the wrapped function still has the same
1559 prototype. (Daisuke Maki)
1561 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1562 - Allow a subclass to set lazy_build for an inherited
1566 - Explicitly depend on Data::OptList. We already had this dependency
1567 via Sub::Exporter, but since we're using it directly we're
1568 better off with it listed. (Sartak)
1570 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1571 - Make it easier to subclass the inlining behaviour. (Ash
1574 * Moose::Manual::Delta
1575 - Details significant changes in the history of Moose, along
1576 with recommended workarounds.
1578 * Moose::Manual::Contributing
1579 - Contributor's guide to Moose.
1581 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1582 - The long-deprecated intialize_body method has been removed
1583 (yes, spelled like that).
1585 * Moose::Meta::Method::Destructor
1586 - This is_needed method is now always a class method.
1588 * Moose::Meta::Class
1589 - Changes to the internals of how make_immutable works to match
1590 changes in latest Class::MOP.
1592 0.72 Mon, February 23, 2009
1594 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1595 - A mutable class accepted Foo->new(undef) without complaint,
1596 while an immutable class would blow up with an unhelpful
1597 error. Now, in both cases we throw a helpful error
1598 instead. Reported by doy.
1600 0.71_01 Sun, February 22, 2009
1602 - Hopefully fixed some POD errors in a few recipes that caused
1603 them to display weird on search.cpan.org.
1605 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1606 - Calling type or subtype without the sugar helpers (as, where,
1607 message) is now deprecated.
1608 - The subtype function tried hard to guess what you meant, but
1609 often got it wrong. For example:
1611 my $subtype = subtype as 'ArrayRef[Object]';
1613 This caused an error in the past, but now works as you'd
1617 - Make sure Moose.pm is loaded before calling
1618 Moose->throw_error. This wasn't normally an issue, but could
1619 bite you in weird cases.
1621 0.71 Thu, February 19, 2009
1622 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe11
1623 - A new recipe which demonstrates the use of BUILDARGS and
1624 BUILD. (Dave Rolsky)
1626 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe3
1627 - A new recipe, applying a role to an object instance. (Dave
1631 - Allow overriding specific keywords from "also" packages. (doy)
1634 - Replace hardcoded cookbook tests with Test::Inline to ensure
1635 the tests match the actual code in the recipes. (Dave Rolsky)
1638 - Working on the above turned up a number of little bugs in the
1639 recipe code. (Dave Rolsky)
1641 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::Optimized
1642 - Just use Class::MOP for the optimized ClassName check. (Dave
1645 0.70 Sat, February 14, 2009
1646 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1647 - Added the RoleName type (stevan)
1648 - added tests for this (stevan)
1650 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe3
1651 - Updated the before qw[left right] sub to be a little more
1652 defensive about what it accepts (stevan)
1653 - added more tests to t/000_recipies/basics/003_binary_tree.t
1657 - We now always call DEMOLISHALL, even if a class does not
1658 define DEMOLISH. This makes sure that method modifiers on
1659 DEMOLISHALL work as expected. (doy)
1660 - added tests for this (EvanCarroll)
1662 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
1663 - Accept roles for the wrapped_method_metaclass (rafl)
1664 - added tests for this (rafl)
1666 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1667 - We no longer pass the meta-attribute object as a final
1668 argument to triggers. This actually changed for inlined code a
1669 while back, but the non-inlined version and the docs were
1673 - Some tests tried to use Test::Warn 0.10, which had bugs. Now
1674 they require 0.11. (Dave Rolsky)
1677 - Lots of small changes to the manual, cookbook, and
1678 elsewhere. These were based on feedback from various
1679 users, too many to list here. (Dave Rolsky)
1681 0.69 Thu, February 12, 2009
1683 - Make some keyword errors use throw_error instead of croak
1684 since Moose::Exporter wraps keywords now (Sartak)
1686 * Moose::Cookbook::*
1687 - Revised every recipe for style and clarity. Also moved some
1688 documentation out of cookbook recipes and into Moose::Manual
1689 pages. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1690 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1692 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
1693 - If the attribute doing the delegation was not populated, the
1694 error message did not specify the attribute name
1697 0.68 Wed, February 4, 2009
1699 - Many spelling, typo, and formatting fixes by daxim.
1701 * Moose::Manual::Attributes
1702 - The NAME section in the POD used "Attribute" so search.cpan
1703 didn't resolve links from other documents properly.
1705 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
1706 - Now properly spelled as Overridden. Thanks to daxim for
1709 0.67 Tue, February 3, 2009
1711 - Lots of little typo fixes and a few clarifications. Several
1712 pages didn't have proper titles, and so weren't actually
1713 visible on search.cpan.org. Thanks to hanekomu for a variety
1714 of fixes and formatting improvements.
1716 0.66 Tue, February 3, 2009
1718 - This is a brand new, extensive manual for Moose. This aims to
1719 provide a complete introduction to all of Moose's
1720 features. This work was funded as part of the Moose docs grant
1721 from TPF. (Dave Rolsky)
1723 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1724 - Added a delegation_metaclass method to replace a hard-coded
1725 use of Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation. (Dave Rolsky)
1727 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1728 - If you created a subtype and passed a parent that Moose didn't
1729 know about, it simply ignored the parent. Now it automatically
1730 creates the parent as a class type. This may not be what you
1731 want, but is less broken than before. (Dave Rolsky)
1733 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1734 - This module tried throw errors by calling Moose->throw_error,
1735 but it did not ensure that Moose was loaded first. This could
1736 cause very unhelpful errors when it tried to throw an error
1737 before Moose was loaded. (Dave Rolsky)
1739 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1740 - You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar" that
1741 would be allowed, but if you used it in a parameterized type
1742 such as "ArrayRef[Foo!Bar]" it wouldn't work. We now do some
1743 vetting on names created via the sugar functions, so that they
1744 can only contain alphanumerics, ":", and ".". (Dave Rolsky)
1746 0.65 Thu, January 22, 2009
1747 * Moose and Moose::Meta::Method::Overridden
1748 - If an overridden method called super(), and then the
1749 superclass's method (not overridden) _also_ called super(),
1750 Moose went into an endless recursion loop. Test provided by
1751 Chris Prather. (Dave Rolsky)
1753 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
1754 - All methods are now documented. (gphat)
1756 * t/100_bugs/011_DEMOLISH_eats_exceptions.t
1757 - Fixed some bogus failures that occurred because we tried to
1758 validate filesystem paths in a very ad-hoc and
1759 not-quite-correct way. (Dave Rolsky)
1761 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1762 - Added maybe_type to exports. See docs for details. (rjbs)
1765 - Added Moose::Util::TypeConstraints to the SEE ALSO
1769 - Methods created via an attribute can now fulfill a "requires"
1770 declaration for a role. (nothingmuch)
1772 * Moose::Meta::Method::*
1773 - Stack traces from inlined code will now report its line and
1774 file as being in your class, as opposed to in Moose
1775 guts. (nothingmuch).
1777 0.64 Wed, December 31, 2008
1778 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
1779 - Always inline predicate and clearer methods (Sartak)
1781 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1782 - Support for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1783 - verify_against_type_constraint method to avoid duplication
1784 and enhance extensibility (Sartak)
1786 * Moose::Meta::Class
1787 - Tests (but no support yet) for parameterized traits (Sartak)
1790 - Require Class::MOP 0.75+, which has the side effect of making
1791 sure we work on Win32. (Dave Rolsky)
1793 0.63 Mon, December 8, 2008
1794 * Moose::Unsweetened
1795 - Some small grammar tweaks and bug fixes in non-Moose example
1798 0.62_02 Fri, December 5, 2008
1799 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1800 - When a class does not provide all of a role's required
1801 methods, the error thrown now mentions all of the missing
1802 methods, as opposed to just the first one found. Requested by
1803 Curtis Poe (RT #41119). (Dave Rolsky)
1805 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1806 - Moose will no longer inline a constructor for your class
1807 unless it inherits its constructor from Moose::Object, and
1808 will warn when it doesn't inline. If you want to force
1809 inlining anyway, pass "replace_constructor => 1" to
1810 make_immutable. Addresses RT #40968, reported by Jon
1811 Swartz. (Dave Rolsky)
1812 - The quoting of default values could be broken if the default
1813 contained a single quote ('). Now we use quotemeta to escape
1814 anything potentially dangerous in the defaults. (Dave Rolsky)
1816 0.62_01 Wed, December 3, 2008
1818 - use the method->execute API for BUILDALL
1819 and DEMOLISHALL (Sartak)
1821 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1822 - We now make all the type constraint meta classes immutable
1823 before creating the default types provided by Moose. This
1824 should make loading Moose a little faster. (Dave Rolsky)
1826 0.62 Wed November 26, 2008
1827 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToClass
1828 Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
1829 - fixed issues where excluding and aliasing the
1830 same methods for a single role did not work
1831 right (worked just fine with multiple
1833 - added test for this (stevan)
1835 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::RoleSummation
1836 - fixed the error message when trying to compose
1837 a role with a role it excludes (Sartak)
1840 - Catch another case where recursion caused the value
1841 of $CALLER to be stamped on (t0m)
1842 - added test for this (t0m)
1845 - Remove the make_immutable keyword, which has been
1846 deprecated since April. It breaks metaclasses that
1847 use Moose without no Moose (Sartak)
1849 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1850 - Removing an attribute from a class now also removes delegation
1851 (handles) methods installed for that attribute (t0m)
1852 - added test for this (t0m)
1854 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
1855 - An attribute with a default that looked like a number (but was
1856 really a string) would accidentally be treated as a number
1857 when the constructor was made immutable (perigrin)
1858 - added test for this (perigrin)
1861 - create method for constructing a role
1862 dynamically (Sartak)
1863 - added test for this (Sartak)
1864 - anonymous roles! (Sartak)
1865 - added test for this (Sartak)
1868 - more consistent error messages (Sartak)
1870 * Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1
1871 - attempt to explain why a role that just requires
1872 methods is useful (Sartak)
1874 0.61 Fri November 7, 2008
1875 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
1876 - When passing a role to handles, it will be loaded if necessary
1879 * Moose::Meta::Class
1880 - Method objects returned by get_method (and other methods)
1881 Could end up being returned without an associated_metaclass
1882 attribute. Removing get_method_map, which is provided by
1883 Class::MOP::Class, fixed this. The Moose version did nothing
1884 different from its parent except introduce a bug. (Dave Rolsky)
1885 - added tests for this (jdv79)
1888 - Added a $VERSION to all .pm files which didn't have one. Fixes
1889 RT #40049, reported by Adam Kennedy. (Dave Rolsky)
1891 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe4
1892 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe6
1893 - These files had spaces on the first line of the SYNOPSIS, as
1894 opposed to a totally empty line. According to RT #40432, this
1895 confuses POD parsers. (Dave Rolsky)
1897 0.60 Fri October 24, 2008
1899 - Passing "-traits" when loading Moose caused the Moose.pm
1900 exports to be broken. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1901 - Tests for this bug. (t0m)
1904 - Change resolve_metaclass alias to use the new
1905 load_first_existing_class function. This makes it a lot
1906 simpler, and also around 5 times faster. (t0m)
1907 - Add caching to resolve_metaclass_alias, which gives an order
1908 of magnitude speedup to things which repeatedly call the
1909 Moose::Meta::Attribute->does method, notably MooseX::Storage
1912 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
1913 - Put back the changes for parameterized constraints that
1914 shouldn't have been removed in 0.59. We still cannot parse
1915 them, but MooseX modules can create them in some other
1916 way. See the 0.58 changes for more details. (jnapiorkowski)
1917 - Changed the way subtypes are created so that the job is
1918 delegated to a type constraint parent. This clears up some
1919 hardcoded checking and should allow correct subtypes of
1920 Moose::Meta::Type::Constraint. Don't rely on this new API too
1921 much (create_child_type) because it may go away in the
1922 future. (jnapiorkowski)
1924 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
1925 - Type constraint names are sorted as strings, not numbers.
1928 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
1929 - New parameterize method. This can be used as a factory method
1930 to make a new type constraint with a given parameterized
1931 type. (jnapiorkowski)
1932 - added tests (jnapiorkowski)
1934 0.59 Tue October 14, 2008
1936 - Add abridged documentation for builder/default/initializer/
1937 predicate, and link to more details sections in
1938 Class::MOP::Attribute. (t0m)
1940 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1941 - removed prototypes from all but the &-based stuff (mst)
1943 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1944 - Creating a anonymous subtype with both a constraint and a
1945 message failed with a very unhelpful error, but should just
1946 work. Reported by t0m. (Dave Rolsky)
1949 - Some tests that used Test::Warn if it was available failed
1950 with older versions of Test::Warn. Reported by Fayland. (Dave
1952 - Test firing behavior of triggers in relation to builder/default/
1954 - Test behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of for all
1955 kinds of supported type. (t0m)
1957 * Moose::Meta::Class
1958 - In create(), do not pass "roles" option to the superclass
1959 - added related test that creates an anon metaclass with
1960 a required attribute
1962 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class
1963 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role
1964 - Unify behavior of equals/is_a_type_of/is_a_subtype_of with
1965 other types (as per change in 0.55_02). (t0m)
1967 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
1968 - Fix warning when dealing with unknown type names (t0m)
1970 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
1971 - Reverted changes from 0.58 related to handle parameterized
1972 types. This caused random failures on BSD and Win32 systems,
1973 apparently related to the regex engine. This means that Moose
1974 can no longer parse structured type constraints like
1975 ArrayRef[Int,Int] or HashRef[name=>Str]. This will be
1976 supported in a slightly different way via MooseX::Types some
1977 time in the future. (Dave Rolsky)
1979 0.58 Sat September 20, 2008
1980 !! This release has an incompatible change regarding !!
1981 !! how roles add methods to a class !!
1983 * Roles and role application
1984 ! Roles now add methods by calling add_method, not
1985 alias_method. They make sure to always provide a method
1986 object, which will be cloned internally. This means that it is
1987 now possible to track the source of a method provided by a
1988 role, and even follow its history through intermediate roles.
1990 This means that methods added by a role now show up when
1991 looking at a class's method list/map. (Dave Rolsky)
1994 - From this release on, we'll try to maintain a list of
1995 conflicting modules, and warn you if you have one
1996 installed. For example, this release conflicts with ...
1997 - MooseX::Singleton <= 0.11
1998 - MooseX::Params::Validate <= 0.05
2001 In general, we try to not break backwards compatibility for
2002 most Moose users, but MooseX modules and other code which
2003 extends Moose's metaclasses is often affected by very small
2004 changes in the Moose internals.
2006 * Moose::Meta::Method::Delegation
2007 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2008 - Delegation methods now have their own method class. (Dave
2011 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable
2012 - Added a new method 'parameterize' which is basically a factory
2013 for the containing constraint. This makes it easier to create
2014 new types of parameterized constraints. (jnapiorkowski)
2016 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
2017 - Changed the way Union types canonicalize their names to follow
2018 the normalized TC naming rules, which means we strip all
2019 whitespace. (jnapiorkowski)
2021 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2022 - Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str
2023 the same constraint as Str|Int. (jnapiorkowski)
2024 - Changes to the way Union types are parsed to more correctly
2025 stringify their names. (jnapiorkowski)
2026 - When creating a parameterized type, we now use the new
2027 parameterize method. (jnapiorkowski)
2028 - Incoming type constraint strings are now normalized to remove
2029 all whitespace differences. (jnapiorkowski)
2030 - Changed the way we parse type constraint strings so that we now
2031 match TC[Int,Int,...] and TC[name=>Str] as parameterized type
2032 constraints. This lays the foundation for more flexible type
2033 constraint implementations.
2035 * Tests and docs for all the above. (jnapiorkowski)
2039 - Moose::Exporter will no longer remove a subroutine that the
2040 exporting package re-exports. Moose re-exports the
2041 Carp::confess function, among others. The reasoning is that we
2042 cannot know whether you have also explicitly imported those
2043 functions for your own use, so we err on the safe side and
2044 always keep them. (Dave Rolsky)
2045 - added tests for this (rafl)
2047 * Moose::Meta::Class
2048 - Changes to how we fix metaclass compatibility that are much
2049 too complicated to go into. The summary is that Moose is much
2050 less likely to complain about metaclass incompatibility
2051 now. In particular, if two metaclasses differ because
2052 Moose::Util::MetaRole was used on the two corresponding
2053 classes, then the difference in roles is reconciled for the
2054 subclass's metaclass. (Dave Rolsky)
2055 - Squashed an warning in _process_attribute (thepler)
2058 - throw exceptions (sooner) for invalid attribute names (thepler)
2059 - added tests for this (thepler)
2061 * Moose::Util::MetaRole
2062 - If you explicitly set a constructor or destructor class for a
2063 metaclass object, and then applied roles to the metaclass,
2064 that explicitly set class would be lost and replaced with the
2067 * Moose::Meta::Class
2068 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2069 * Moose::Meta::Method
2072 * Moose::Error::Default
2073 * Moose::Error::Croak
2074 * Moose::Error::Confess
2075 - All instances of confess() changed to use overridable
2076 C<throw_error> method. This method ultimately calls a class
2077 constructor, and you can change the class being called. In
2078 addition, errors now pass more information than just a string.
2079 The default C<error_class> behaves like C<Carp::confess>, so
2080 the behavior is not visibly different for end users.
2082 0.57 Wed September 3, 2008
2084 - A new bit of doc intended to introduce folks familiar with
2085 "standard" Perl 5 OO to Moose concepts. (Dave Rolsky)

2092 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2093 - Fixed a bug in find_or_parse_type_constraint so that it
2094 accepts a Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object as the parent
2095 type, not just a name (jnapiorkowski)

2099 - If Sub::Name was not present, unimporting failed to actually
2100 remove some sugar subs, causing test failures (Dave Rolsky)

2152 - Predicate methods (equals/is_a_type_of/is_subtype_of) now
2153 return false if the type you specify cannot be found in the
2154 type registry, rather than throwing an unhelpful and
2155 coincidental exception. (t0m).
2156 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2158 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Registry
2159 - add_type_constraint now throws an exception if a parameter is
2161 - added docs & test for this (t0m)
2163 * Moose::Cookbook::FAQ

2192 much easier. (Dave Rolsky)
2195 * Moose::Cookbook::Meta::Recipe5
2196 - Implemented metaclass traits (and wrote a recipe for it):
2198 use Moose -traits => 'Foo'

2201 easier (Dave Rolsky)
2203 * Moose::Cookbook::Basics::Recipe1

2279 ... this is not my day today ...
2281 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
2282 - fixed legal_options_for_inheritance such that

2285 does not break MooseX::AttributeHelpers
2288 0.53 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2289 * Whoops, I guess I should run 'make manifest' before
2290 actually releasing the module. No actual changes

2292 the changes that I didn't include in the last
2295 0.52 Thurs. July 3, 2008
2297 - added "FEATURE REQUESTS" section to the Moose docs
2298 to properly direct people (stevan) (RT #34333)

2330 * Moose::Meta::Role::Application::ToRole
2331 - when RoleA did RoleB, and RoleA aliased a method from RoleB in
2332 order to provide its own implementation, that method still got
2333 added to the list of required methods for consumers of
2334 RoleB. Now an aliased method is only added to the list of
2335 required methods if the role doing the aliasing does not
2336 provide its own implementation. See Recipe 11 for an example
2337 of all this. (Dave Rolsky)
2338 - added tests for this
2340 * Moose::Meta::Method::Constructor
2341 - when a single argument that wasn't a hashref was provided to
2342 an immutabilized constructor, the error message was very

2451 XS based functionality is now optional
2452 and a Pure Perl version is supplied

2557 drink more coffee before
2558 doing release engineering

2884 0.33 Fri. Dec. 14, 2007
2885 !! Moose now loads 2 x faster !!
2886 !! with new Class::MOP 0.49 !!

2926 instead of Moose::Util::TypeConstraints setting
2929 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
2930 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union
2931 - added the &has_coercion_for_type and
2932 &add_type_coercions methods to support the

2948 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
2949 - passing no "additional attribute info" to

2968 - added tests for this
2971 - adding the link to Recipie 11 (written by Sartak)
2972 - adding test for SYNOPSIS code

3011 got mentioned on CPAN Forum & perlmonks
3014 - fixed how required methods are handled
3015 when they encounter overriden or modified
3016 methods from a class (thanks to confound).
3017 - added tests for this
3019 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraint
3020 - fixed the type notation parser so that
3021 the | always creates a union and so is
3022 no longer a valid type char (thanks to
3023 konobi, mugwump and #moose for working
3025 - added more tests for this
3027 0.26 Thurs. Sept. 27, 2007
3030 * Parameterized Types
3031 We now support parameterized collection types, such as:
3032 ArrayRef[Int] # array or integers
3033 HashRef[Object] # a hash with object values
3034 They can also be nested:
3035 ArrayRef[HashRef[RegexpRef]] # an array of hashes with regex values
3036 And work with the type unions as well:
3037 ArrayRef[Int | Str] # array of integers of strings
3039 * Better Framework Extendability
3040 Moose.pm is now "extendable" such that it is now much
3041 easier to extend the framework and add your own keywords
3042 and customizations. See the "EXTENDING AND EMBEDDING MOOSE"
3043 section of the Moose.pm docs.
3046 In an effort to begin documenting some of the various
3047 details of Moose as well as some common idioms, we have
3048 created Moose::Cookbook::Snacks as a place to find
3049 small (easily digestable) nuggets of Moose code.
3052 ~ Several doc updates/cleanup thanks to castaway ~
3054 - converted build system to use Module::Install instead of
3055 Module::Build (thanks to jrockway)

3115 Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3117 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union

3208 loaded before consumers (e.g. Moose::Meta::Attribute) by predeclaring
3209 prototypes for functions
3210 - added the ClassName type constraint, this checks for strings
3211 which will respond true to ->isa(UNIVERSAL).

3283 - added the 'documentation' attributes
3284 so that you can actually document your
3285 attributes and inspect them through the
3287 - added tests and docs for this
3289 * Moose::Meta::Class
3290 - when loading custom attribute metaclasses
3291 it will first look in for the class in the
3292 Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::$name, and
3293 then default to just loading $name.
3294 - added tests and docs for this
3296 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3297 - type constraints now stringify to their names.
3298 - added test for this
3301 - added tests to assure we work with Module::Refresh

3303 test, ask Rob Kinyon why.
3304 - *cough* DBM::Deep 1.0 backwards compatibility sucks *cough* ;)
3306 0.18 Sat. March 10, 2007
3307 ~~ Many, many documentation updates ~~
3310 - We now use Class::MOP::load_class to
3312 - added tests to show types and subtypes
3313 working with Declare::Constraints::Simple
3314 and Test::Deep as constraint engines.
3317 !! You must have Class::MOP 0.37_001 !!
3318 !! for this developer release to work !!
3320 This release was primarily adding the immutable
3321 feature to Moose. An immutable class is one which
3322 you promise not to alter. When you set the class
3323 as immutable it will perform various bits of
3324 memoization and inline certain part of the code
3325 (constructors, destructors and accessors). This
3326 minimizes (and in some cases totally eliminates)
3327 one of Moose's biggest performance hits. This
3328 feature is not on by default, and is 100% optional.
3329 It has several configurable bits as well, so you
3330 can pick and choose to your specific needs.
3332 The changes involved in this were fairly wide and
3333 highly specific, but 100% backwards compatible, so
3334 I am not going to enumerate them here. If you are
3335 truely interested in what was changed, please do
3338 0.17 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3339 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3340 - bugfix for read-only accessors which
3341 are have a type constraint and lazy.
3342 Thanks to chansen for finding it.
3344 0.16 Tues. Nov. 14, 2006
3346 There are some speed improvements in this release,
3347 but they are only the begining, so stay tuned.
3350 - BUILDALL and DEMOLISHALL no longer get
3351 called unless they actually need to be.
3352 This gave us a signifigant speed boost
3353 for the cases when there is no BUILD or
3354 DEMOLISH method present.
3356 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3357 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3358 - added an 'optimize_as' option to the
3359 type constraint, which allows for a
3360 hand optimized version of the type
3361 constraint to be used when possible.
3362 - Any internally created type constraints
3363 now provide an optimized version as well.
3365 0.15 Sun. Nov. 5, 2006
3367 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.36 in order
3368 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3369 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3371 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3372 - added &unimport so that you can clean out
3373 your class namespace of these exported
3376 * Moose::Meta::Class
3377 - fixed minor issue which occasionally
3378 comes up during global destruction
3380 - moved Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden into
3384 - moved Moose::Meta::Role::Method into
3387 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3388 - changed how we do type checks so that
3389 we reduce the overall cost, but still
3392 - moved accessor generation methods to
3393 Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor to
3394 conform to the API changes from
3397 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3398 - changed how constraints are compiled
3399 so that we do less recursion and more
3400 iteration. This makes the type check
3402 - moved Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3405 * Moose::Meta::Method::Accessor
3406 - created this from methods formerly found in
3407 Moose::Meta::Attribute
3409 * Moose::Meta::Role::Method
3410 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Role
3412 * Moose::Meta::Method::Overriden
3413 - moved this from Moose::Meta::Class
3415 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3416 - moved this from Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3418 0.14 Mon. Oct. 9, 2006
3420 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3421 - fixed lazy attributes which were not getting
3422 checked with the type constraint (thanks ashley)
3423 - added tests for this
3424 - removed the over-enthusiastic DWIMery of the
3425 automatic ArrayRef and HashRef defaults, it
3426 broke predicates in an ugly way.
3427 - removed tests for this
3429 0.13 Sat. Sept. 30, 2006
3431 This version of Moose *must* have Class::MOP 0.35 in order
3432 to work correctly. A number of small internal tweaks have
3433 been made in order to be compatible with that release.
3436 - Removed the use of UNIVERSAL::require to be a better
3437 symbol table citizen and remove a dependency
3438 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3440 **~~ removed experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3441 - commented out the 'method' and 'self' keywords, see the
3442 comments for more info.
3445 - added a FAQ and WTF files to document frequently
3446 asked questions and common problems
3448 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3449 - added GlobRef and FileHandle type constraint
3450 - added tests for this
3452 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3453 - if your attribute 'isa' ArrayRef of HashRef, and you have
3454 not explicitly set a default, then make the default DWIM.
3455 This will also work for subtypes of ArrayRef and HashRef
3457 - you can now auto-deref subtypes of ArrayRef or HashRef too.
3458 - new test added for this (thanks to ashley)
3461 - added basic support for runtime role composition
3462 but this is still *highly experimental*, so feedback
3463 is much appreciated :)
3464 - added tests for this
3466 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3467 - the type constraint now handles the coercion process
3468 through delegation, this is to support the coercion
3471 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union
3472 - it is now possible for coercions to be performed
3474 - added tests for this (thanks to konobi)
3476 * Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion
3477 - properly capturing error when type constraint
3481 - Scalar::Util 1.18 is bad on Win32, so temporarily
3482 only require version 1.17 for Win32 and cygwin.
3483 (thanks Adam Kennedy)
3485 0.12 Sat. Sept. 1, 2006
3487 - Recipe5 (subtypes & coercion) has been written
3490 - fixed "bad meta" error message to be more descriptive
3491 - fixed &unimport to not remove the &inner and &super
3492 keywords because we need to localize them.
3493 - fixed number of spelling/grammer issues, thanks Theory :)
3495 **~~ experimental & undocumented feature ~~**
3496 - added the method and self keywords, they are basically
3497 just sugar, and they may not stay around.
3500 - added &dump method to easily Data::Dumper
3503 * Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint
3504 - added the &is_a_type_of method to check both the current
3505 and the subtype of a method (similar to &isa with classes)
3508 - this is now a subclass of Class::MOP::Module, and no longer
3509 creates the _role_meta ugliness of before.
3510 - fixed tests to reflect this change
3512 0.11 Wed. July 12, 2006
3514 - added an &unimport method to remove all the keywords
3515 that Moose will import, simply add 'no Moose' to the
3516 bottom of your class file.
3519 - fixed some test failures caused by a forgotten test
3522 0.10 Thurs. July 6, 2006
3524 - improved error message when loading modules so
3525 it is less confusing when you load a role.
3526 - added &calculate_all_roles method to
3527 Moose::Meta::Class and Moose::Meta::Role
3530 This module has been tested against Class::MOP 0.30
3531 but it does not yet utilize the optimizations
3532 it makes available. Stay tuned for that ;)

3535 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3537 - 'use strict' and 'use warnings' are no longer
3538 needed in Moose classes, Moose itself will
3539 turn them on for you.
3540 - added tests for this
3541 - moved code from exported subs to private methods
3542 in Moose::Meta::Class
3545 - as with Moose, strict and warnings are
3546 automatically turned on for you.

3550 - now handles an edge case for override errors
3551 - added tests for this

3568 0.09_01 Fri. May 12, 2006
3569 ++ DEVELOPER RELEASE ++
3570 - This release works in combination with
3571 Class::MOP 0.29_01, it is a developer
3572 release because it uses the a new
3573 instance sub-protocol and a fairly
3574 complete Role implementation. It has
3575 not yet been optimized, so it slower
3576 the the previous CPAN version. This
3577 release also lacks good updated docs,
3578 the official release will have updated docs.
3581 - refactored the keyword exports
3582 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3583 accepts more than one Role at a time
3584 - 'extends' makes metaclass adjustments as
3585 needed to ensure metaclass compatibility
3588 - refactored the keyword exports
3589 - 'with' now checks Role validaity and
3590 accepts more than one Role at a time
3592 * Moose::Util::TypeConstraints
3593 - added the 'enum' keyword for simple
3594 string enumerations which can be used as
3596 - see example of usage in t/202_example.t
3599 - more careful checking of params to new()
3602 - much work done on the role composition
3603 - many new tests for conflict detection
3604 and composition edge cases
3605 - not enough documentation, I suggest
3606 looking at the tests
3608 * Moose::Meta::Instance
3609 - added new Instance metaclass to support
3610 the new Class::MOP instance protocol
3612 * Moose::Meta::Class

3615 - some small additions to support Roles
3617 * Moose::Meta::Attribute
3618 - some improvements to the accessor generation code
3620 - some small changes to support the new
3622 - (still somewhat) experimental delegation support
3623 with the 'handles' option
3624 - added several tests for this
3625 - no docs for this yet
3627 0.05 Thurs. April 27, 2006
3629 - keywords are now exported with Sub::Exporter
3630 thanks to chansen for this commit
3631 - has keyword now takes a 'metaclass' option
3632 to support custom attribute meta-classes
3633 on a per-attribute basis
3634 - added tests for this
3635 - the 'has' keyword not accepts inherited slot
3636 specifications (has '+foo'). This is still an
3637 experimental feature and probably not finished
